Around The Wheel with Aquarius
(Compatibility Profiles)
by Brigid Bishop
Here are some basic “Rules of Thumb” for Aquarian Compatibility Profiles.Of course, these are based on Sun Sign only, in order to truly plot compatibility it is best to have a professional compatibility profile done between the two charts, but this is a general description of the core energies to be expected.
Aquarius Male and Aries Female
This is a fairly good mix.The Aquarian Male will enjoy the fire and spunk of the Aries Female.Her independent streak and regal bearing will attract and fascinate him.She will be his intellectual equal and quite possibly his physical superior, being more active and on the go than the Aquarian Man of ideas and ideals.The trigger points usually stem from the Arian need to be more self centered and the Aquarian need to see the benefit to the larger picture.
Aquarius Female and Aries Male
This mix can be a bit more difficult than it’s reverse as the Aquarian Female will have a strong masculine energy which can cause the Arian Male to repel away a bit.She likes his strength and generosity, but his tendency toward self-centeredness will be hard for her to understand.He likes her detachment, it challenges him, but at the same time he longs to be the center of her universe, which she can never quite make happen, her universe is too multi-layered to have just one center.
Aquarius Male and Taurus Female
Both signs are “Fixed”, as in “unmovable”.The sensuality of the Taurean Female will draw the Aquarian male, but her need for earthbound pleasures and belongings will not match well with his idealism and daydreaming.She will appear to him as materialistic and he will appear to her as “flighty”.Sexual chemistry may be very strong, but without other positive aspects in the charts, the pairing is difficult at best.
Aquarius Female and Taurus Male
His “bull in the china shop” approach to life will be appealing to her at first, as it is so different from her own delicate and airy approach, it makes her feel more feminine to be around him, but when her independent side rears it’s pretty head, sparks can fly.The sexual chemistry here may be strong, but long term compatibility may be difficult without softer, more positive aspects within the charts.Both are fixed signs and need to be in control.
Aquarius Male and Gemini Female
A good pairing!Their high intellects are finely matched, they communicate together very well.The Aquarian Male’s philosophical approach to life matches well with the Gemini Female’s need to analyze life from polar opposite angles.Discussions between these two can lead to many late night conjuring and projections that will keep both engaged and interested in each other.
Aquarius Female and Gemini Male
A positive match but the danger here is that there may be a little too much air swirling around between them, living in the realm of ideas and thoughts, rather than putting their words into action.As they are both idea people, unless one of the personalities brings some fire (for action) and water (for emotion) into the mix, they may just drift endlessly in their own little fantasy world.
Aquarius Male and Cancer Female
This is a difficult match without other positive aspects in the two charts, the Aquarian Male is all air and the Cancer Female is the most watery sign of the zodiac.When you mix air and water you get a kind of “mist” dampening the positive energy between the two, which is why more elemental factors like fire are needed to turn the mist into steam.The Cancer Female is very emotional.The Aquarian Male is not.They will have a difficult time understanding each other.The independent Aquarian man will not like having the Cancer Crab’s claws locked into him.He will feel like she is trying to pull him under the surface of the ocean and will struggle to break free.The Cancer woman will lose the claw before she lets go.
Aquarius Female and Cancer Male
A better mix than the reverse genders, the biological energies are a little more suited to survival of the relationship here than the opposite mix.The Aquarian Female will feel loved and cared for, and although she may not know how to “intellectualize” his actions to understand them, they will make her feel good.Her independent streak will still create a struggle from time to time, but men being more outwardly focused can balance it to the point that they can cope if the love is truly there.The Cancer Male will find her truly fascinating and will learn to hold on loosely for the benefit of the relationship if other aspects are positive.
Aquarius Male and Leo Female
Opposites do attract at times, and when these two are well-balanced this pairing can be extremely complimentary to each other.The Aquarian Male loves her energy, her strength, her loyalty and the Leo Female loves his intelligence, his independence and his loyalty.These two can literally conquer worlds together and learn much from each other, it’s all about balance.
Aquarius Female and Leo Male
Here we truly have polar opposites, but opposites create and encourage balance.He is strong where she is weak.She is clear-sighted when his vision blurs.They will encourage each other to reach their goals and feed each other’s ambitions.These two truly have the energy to become a real “power couple”.
Aquarius Male and Virgo Female
This pairing is one of those that is “all or nothing”.The Mercurial intellect of the Virgo Woman will be extremely appealing to the Aquarian Male, creating fertile ground for clear and productive communication.The Virgo Female may be a little too “earth-bound” for the Aquarius Male’s imaginative wanderings unless other aspects are positive.
Aquarius Female and Virgo Male
She may find him too rigid.He may find her to flighty.Communication can be excellent between these two, but often times they take opposing points of view and expend all of their energy trying to convince each other to switch sides, so to speak.Without other positive aspects in the charts, this is a difficult pairing.
Aquarius Male and Libra Female
This is a very promising combination.The Libra Woman’s need to weigh things out and consider situations from all angles is a wonderful sounding board for all of the imaginative Aquarian Male’s ideas and personal philosophies.There exists a strong chemical attraction between these two that can actually make the independent Aquarian want to settle down and enjoy the beauty of life with his beautiful Libran Woman.
Aquarius Female and Libra Male
This pairing is a set up for best friends and life partners if ever there was one.The Libra Male is perfectly capable of enduring the Aquarian Females need to wander and explore many different facets of life without becoming insecure or controlling.The independent Aquarian Woman appreciates this and is more than happy to invite him along on her journey and share all that life has to offer with him.
Aquarius Male and Scorpio Female
Although traditionally astrologers state that this is a difficult pairing, in my experience and observations I find this to be quite the opposite.The Aquarian Male is not usually thought of as a very sexual sign, but when paired with a Scorpio Woman this changes into heat and intensity.Sexual experimentation and a drive to please each other physically can create a strong chemical bond between these two that is nearly unbreakable.
Aquarius Female and Scorpio Male
Tradition may state that this is not a grand pairing, but the inventiveness and imagination of the Aquarian Woman will keep the Scorpio Male more fascinated and intrigued than with any other woman in the zodiac.The Scorpion feels that each time he takes her into his arms he is holding a different woman because she uses that imagination to keep that spark eternally burning.This is a very sexually charged pairing.
Aquarius Male and Sagittarius Female
This is truly a fun couple!They can be open and honest and free with each other.Neither the Aquarian Male nor the Sagittarian Female has much use for conventional relationships and love freedom while they value honesty.This couple is quite capable of loving each other and the world outside simultaneously without experiencing difficulties with security, trust or possessiveness.Talk about fun!These two know how to have it!
Aquarius Female and Sagittarius Male
Travel around the world and then back again along the way all the while sharing secrets and opening their hearts to each other is what these two will do given the opportunity.Bluntly honest to a fault between the two of them, yet ever trusting and loving.These two will move through life having the grandest of times and even when outwardly appearing “settled” they will always roam together in their minds.
Aquarius Male and Capricorn Female
The Aquarian Male appreciates the Capricorn Females hard work and stabilizing force in his life.The Capricorn Female can keep the Aquarian Male firmly planted on planet earth while he travels astrally and she supports his idealism, perhaps even envies it, but she will keep doing everything that she can to contribute to dreams and visions.The Capricorn Female can motivate the Aquarian Male into being just a bit more down to earth in nature without creating any resentment or discord.
Aquarius Female and Capricorn Male
The Aquarian Female will feel like the Capricorn Male is trying to be her father figure, and just as she did with her biological father, she will rebel against him.Although if other aspects in the charts are positive, the Capricorn Male may be able to lighten up as needed and just keep her stable, if they are not in existence the Aquarian Female will just disappear into another universe when he becomes too overbearing.
Aquarius Male and Aquarius Female
These two can be best friends, lovers, exes that get along and just about anything else you can imagine when it comes to relationships.Both are flighty and need space, their relationships are likely to provide plenty of freedom, so much so that they both may find each other with different partners without even realizing it if they don’t pay attention, but there will never be any resentment or long-term anger if that happens as they truly know how to be “friends for life”.
Aquarius Male and Pisces Female
The Aquarian Male loves the fact that the Pisces Female can dream right along beside him and add to those dreams in her own sensitive and intuitive way. He doesn't feel the need for independence as strongly with this sign as he does with the others, as she and her dreamy ways bring him a sense of inner peace. Someone has to remember to go to the grocery store here or you two might just dream away!!! Wake up!!!
Aquarius Female and Pisces Male
The Aquarian Female will feel like the Pisces Male is a bit over-sensitive at times, and despite her own active imagination, she will want him to take his head out of the clouds and put those dreams to work! If well aspected, she can be the "driver" in the relationship making for a great pair, but if other aspects do not encourage this, the Aquarian Female will move on to a more productive partner.
