Aquarius astrological symbol, love compatibility

Quick summary

  • Gemini, Libra, Sagittarius: their three most harmonious and stimulating partners.
  • With Leo, their opposite, the attraction is magnetic, but so are the clashes.
  • Taurus and Scorpio: two possessive signs that suffocate their vital need for freedom.
  • Aquarius isn't incapable of love, they simply love according to their own rules.
  • What they seek: a best friend they can share ideas with, and incidentally, a life.

Aquarius is probably the most misunderstood sign in love. People call them distant, detached, unable to commit. The truth is they love, just not the way they're told to: no fusion, no "you're everything to me". They want a partner who is a friend first, someone to put the world to rights with at three in the morning, and they need air to come back to the other person.

Try to hold them and they drift away. Leave them free and they come back. Here's what it gives with each of the 12 signs, with a score out of 10. And if you want an answer for the two of you right away, you can work it out from your two birth dates or from your first names and your signs.

Aquarius with each of the 12 signs

8/10

Aquarius + Aries

Aquarius (Air) and Aries (Fire) form a very free and innovative couple. They both value independence and have a taste for challenges. Aries brings enthusiasm to Aquarius, and Aquarius brings originality to Aries. Their harmony is based on deep mutual trust.

3/10

Aquarius + Taurus

Aquarius (Air) and Taurus (Earth) have vastly different expectations. Aquarius loves social innovation and eccentricity, while Taurus seeks tradition and stability. Aquarius may find Taurus too conservative, and Taurus finds Aquarius too unpredictable.

9/10

Aquarius + Gemini

Aquarius (Air) and Gemini (Air) share the same element, reinforcing their compatibility. Both signs are communicative and original. They have a great appetite for intellectual exchanges: discussion, visionary ideas, and avant-garde projects.

2/10

Aquarius + Cancer

Aquarius (Air) and Cancer (Water) struggle to align. The independent, futuristic Aquarius can seem cold to the sensitive, home-oriented Cancer. Cancer seeks emotional security that the distant Aquarius struggles to provide consistently.

8/10

Aquarius + Leo

Aquarius (Air) and Leo (Fire) are opposites, creating strong attraction. The sociable Leo loves Aquarius' originality, and Aquarius admires Leo's nobility. Together, they can lead ambitious creative and social projects.

2/10

Aquarius + Virgo

Aquarius (Air) and Virgo (Earth) are hardly compatible. The idealizing Aquarius may find Virgo too grounded, and Virgo finds Aquarius too unrealistic. They lack an obvious shared vision.

9/10

Aquarius + Libra

Aquarius (Air) and Libra (Air) share great elemental affinity. Both are drawn to abstraction, friendship, and humanistic causes. They are visionary and love discussing philosophical concepts. Their relationship is intellectually highly balanced.

3/10

Aquarius + Scorpio

Aquarius (Air) and Scorpio (Water) have vastly opposing natures. The independent, rational Aquarius can appear indifferent to the passionate, possessive Scorpio. They must make an effort to discover each other, or compatibility remains low.

8/10

Aquarius + Sagittarius

Aquarius (Air) and Sagittarius (Fire) get along very well, as both love freedom and innovation. They share optimism and openness to the world. Their relationship is based on friendship: they encourage each other to live new experiences.

2/10

Aquarius + Capricorn

Aquarius (Air) and Capricorn (Earth) are almost incompatible. The ambitious, traditional Capricorn doesn't always understand the eccentric, future-oriented Aquarius. Aquarius may find Capricorn too strict.

8/10

Aquarius + Aquarius

An extremely intellectual, independent, and humanitarian duo. Two Aquarians share idealistic projects and grant each other the freedom they both consider vital.

2/10

Aquarius + Pisces

Aquarius (Air) and Pisces (Water) operate differently. The dreamy Pisces may find Aquarius too factual, and Aquarius may perceive Pisces as too emotional. Their harmony demands major efforts.
