If you are an Aquarius and want a long-term, committed relationship and are thinking it can happen with a fellow Aquarian, think again.
This romantic pairing is not a great match when it comes to relationship goals, but you two can get something else out of it—and that “something else” is completely physical. These water-bearing duos can lead to a steamy and exploratory sexual dynamic, where they get wild and indulge each other’s unspoken wants and communicate in an open way about their um, unconventional sexual needs. They often step outside the normative boundaries of sexuality, ignoring any and all societal sexual norms and no-nos.
While the chemistry is off the charts, these air signs will hit challenges in forging an emotional connection, which can manifest as a noticeable absence of any intimacy during their sexual romps. This lack of emotional warmth and attention can stick around despite a strong mutual attraction, possibly undermining the emotional complexities of their romantic partnership. As the initial passion wears off and a more profound emotional engagement is sought, maintaining the relationship can become harder.
This pair is best suited for a casual relationship, perhaps more so than any other zodiac match, as the Aquarius sign is known for loving their independence and freedom and is most comfortable with a relationship that doesn’t demand constant contact and closeness. So before you get emotionally attached to a fellow water-bearer, know that this arrangement often lacks the substance to build a long-term future together, and they might ultimately look for romantic partners who can give them a more affectionate and committed relationship.
Aquarius
Aquarius, positioned as the second-to-last sign of the zodiac at number eleven, is also the final air sign, approaching the qualities of air from a wide-angle lens. Amongst all zodiac signs, Aquarius stands out as the most creative, avant-garde, defiant, and community-focused. Aquarians are often in the midst of orchestrating change or displaying their distinctive taste in fashion. Yet, they have a tender side that is often not immediately apparent, needing recognition, encouragement, and emotional connection.
The essence of air signs, which includes Gemini, Libra, and Aquarius, is the intellectual realm. They are inquisitive and highly sociable, with a keen interest in the dynamics of relationships. Aquarius, being the final air sign, amplifies these traits even further.
- The symbol of Aquarius is the water bearer, symbolizing a healer who brings life-sustaining water to the earth.
- In tarot, Aquarius corresponds to the Star card, representing a mythical figure that balances between the grounding earth and the life-giving water, dispensing fresh ideas and hope like water from a vase.
The sign of Aquarius is under the domain of Uranus, a planet synonymous with innovation, modern technology, and unforeseen happenings. This celestial body echoes the unconventional and pioneering essence of Aquarius. Aquarians are renowned for their expansive thinking; however, they should remember to remain connected to their immediate environment. Their dedication to societal change can sometimes result in a disregard for their personal relationships, leading to a perception that they are emotionally detached.
Aquarius and Aquarius in Friendship
The compatibility between two Aquarius friends tends to be super high! They often have an instant connection through their love for intellectual conversation, which is important for them as air signs. They’re likely to learn a great deal from each other, enjoying their exchanges of ideas and lively debates. An Aquarius is usually full of unique ideas and appreciates having someone who shares their enthusiasm. Both being sociable and fun-loving, they often meet within their shared social networks.
It’s also quite common for a friendship between two Aquarius individuals to morph into romance, as Aquarius signs generally prefer to build a strong friendship before they even consider entering into a romantic relationship.
Friend Date: Mani/Pedi or Streaking on the Beach at Midnight?
They’ll click over shared interests in causes, news, fun facts from something they read, and their friends. They both appreciate having room to breathe in a relationship, so no one gets upset if the other needs a little me-time. No matter their differences, they get each other pretty easily right from the start.
As friends, two Aquarians are up for anything when it comes to a friendly meetup. The sky’s the limit—these air signs will agree on what is fun, what is lame, and proceed from there. Random adventures? Check. Going on a road trip just “because?” Double check.
Friend-Fection: Keep It on the Dl or Text ‘Love Ya Biatch?’
Both of you are guarded about revealing your true selves to others. What people see is often just a fraction of who you are; while you may come across as unrestrained or eccentric on the surface, there’s much more beneath. You’re both mindful of the company you keep and selective about who you let close. Aquarians may have many acquaintances, but it takes time for you to really open up and share the more intimate facets of your personality. It’s only after trust is established that you’ll show your softer, more vulnerable sides to your friends.
Dating Advice: Send His Name or Send His Social?
Here, your shared outlook on life comes into play, especially regarding dating. Neither of you sees it as a top priority. If a relationship comes along, that’s great, but you’re not interested in pursuing something that doesn’t feel right. As an Aquarius, this attitude stems from your love of freedom and your strong dislike for feeling caged in or smothered.
Aquarius and Aquarius in Love
The love between two Aquarians can vacillate between sweet and sour—when they focus on their good traits, they can inspire each other to be their best selves and evolve together. However, if they let pessimism lead, they can put a lot of stress on themselves and their relationship. The success of an Aquarius-Aquarius relationship really hinges on the choices they make every day. While they may love conversations about innovation and futuristic ideas, they can also fall into the trap of one-upmanship.
And although the Aquarius pair may appear to have a perfect, symbiotic understanding to onlookers, keeping any and all struggles under wraps while maintaining an enviable facade, they’ll never let on that something is amiss—even to themselves or each other. And that’s a big red flag.
The First Date: Roses or KFC?
If you’re thinking of taking another Aquarius on a first date, an aquarium might not seem like an obvious choice, and they might even be a bit annoyed if they find out you picked it because of their zodiac sign. But here’s the thing: Aquarius signs often think differently, almost like they’re tuned into an entirely different world.
They might ignore the big, flashy fish and instead spend ages just watching a small, hidden fish blend into its surroundings. If you’re cool with quietly watching fish together, and you’re both Aquarians, so duh, you’ll have a fab time. But if you’re hoping for a lot of convo and attention, you’ll be jealous of the fish they’re dead set on watching.
Love Language Do’s and Don’ts: A Dealbreaker?
For an Aquarius, nothing says love quite like acts of service. They really feel cared for when someone goes out of their way to do things for them, like picking up groceries, lending a hand with a task, or serving up breakfast in bed. They appreciate a partner who’s ready to put in effort just to bring a smile to their face and prove their dedication. When an Aquarius sees their significant other doing kind deeds, it makes them feel truly valued and secure in the relationship.
They also love words of affirmation, so loosen up those lips and tell them that they are great at what they do, you love them just as they are, etc.
Sexy Time: Slow and Steady or Chompin’ at the Bit?
Look, we aren’t going to sugarcoat this because we are all adults here. This duo will go full throttle from the jump—the sexual chemistry is insane. Slow and steady doesn’t even enter the equation. We are talking about furniture that will be broken-kind of passion.
The Verdict?
Aquarius, being a fixed sign, is known for being quite set in their ways or stubborn—this air sign might come off as a bit difficult or downright ‘bratty.’ When an Aquarius is convinced about their stance on something, it’s super hard to make them see things differently. And if they end up on different sides of an argument? Well, that just means lots of unresolved conflicts. However, if they remember that disagreements are temporary, they can provide strong support to each other in harder periods of their lives.
Maintaining a romantic relationship also needs a lot of deliberate effort, since Aquarians are comfortable being single and can carry that independence over into romantic relationships. Adapting to life with a partner may require some effort, so planning regular dates or getting involved in a mutual cause could be the key to making their partnership long-term and not fizzling out.
Dating someone with the same zodiac element can feel like coming home because you really get each other without having to try. But this comfort can sometimes lead to boredom, like you’re both stuck on repeat, doing the same things over and over. To avoid falling into a rut or starting to one-up or compete with one another, you’ll need to mix it up.
Compatibility Scale:
