Things You Should Know

Aquarius women and Libra men are both highly intellectual, rational, communicative, and left-of-center, making them a match made in heaven.
A Libra man, always eager to please, will take the lead in bed. He knows just how to get overly-intellectual Aquarius out of her head and draw out her sexual nature.
Aquarius will help her sometimes overly diplomatic Libra man stand up for himself, while Libra will draw out his sometimes cold and aloof Aquarius woman’s soft side.

Aquarius Woman & Libra Man at a Glance

Aquarius and Libra’s shared traits make them a great match. Aquarius women and Libra men both boast ample amounts of creativity, kindness, intellect, and, frankly, oddness. These 2 air signs can be so left-of-center sometimes, it’s hard for other signs to understand them—but they understand each other.
- Their status as air signs means their creativity and intelligence are nearly boundless. They can sit around for hours talking about anything and everything under the sun.^{[1]

- Their natural curiosity makes them very friendly and sociable.
- These signs are both resistant to fighting and good at making compromises, meaning they address and solve problems swiftly.
- In bed, Libra is very romantic and will take the lead to please his Aquarius partner, while she will appreciate his eagerness to satisfy her.

Sexuality

1
Libra will take the lead in bed—and this works just fine for Aquarius. Libra is a natural people-pleaser, and Aquarius appreciates the attention Libra gives her both in and out of the bedroom. So while Libra takes charge in the sack, Aquarius has a fun time going along for the ride, and trusts her Libra man to know what she wants.
- As 1 of the 4 cardinal signs, Libra is naturally inclined to take charge: cardinal signs are the visionaries and trendsetters of the zodiac, compared to the 8 mutable signs, which include Aquarius.
- Aquarius's creativity and eccentricity turn her Libra guy on. He finds these qualities extremely alluring, which only makes him more eager to please her.
- As a Venus-driven sign, Libra is extremely romantic and very motivated by aesthetics, so he will go all out to make the moment special for him and his Aquarius lover: candles, soft lighting, rose petals, the whole shebang.
2
Aquarius will be turned on by Libra’s passion and intellect. First and foremost, both Libra and Aquarius are aroused by each other’s extreme intelligence, but physicality and passion come in a close second. While Libra may have caught Aquarius’s attention by proving he was intellectual enough to stimulate her, his sensuality is what takes them from friends to passionate lovers.
- Being so focused on ideas and abstractions, Aquarius often struggles to get out of her head during sex, but romantic Libra knows how to draw out her sexual side.

Section 3 of 6:

Communication

Aquarius and Libra communicate openly and patiently with one another. This is a partnership in which neither member is fighting for control or prone to excessive jealousy. Each partner values clear communication and problem-solving over winning arguments, meaning they are quick to make their needs known to one another as well as to try to meet one another’s needs.
- These signs loathe fighting and dwelling on problems, so when issues arise, they are quick to tackle them.^{[2]

- Libra is represented by the scale, meaning he is especially prone to balance and diplomacy, but both signs are naturally good compromisers, meaning they handle problems smoothly and efficiently.

Section 4 of 6:

Values

1
Both Libra and Aquarius love to socialize and make new friends. These 2 intellectual signs love to learn about new ideas and to talk about them for hours into the night with each other and with others. Dates for this pair will likely include going out to bars or parties to meet and mingle with friends and strangers alike.
- Both signs are friendly and sociable in different ways: Libra tends to be more charming and charismatic, while Aquarius is curious about everyone she meets and loves to draw them out.
- While getting to know your significant other’s friends can be an awkward experience for some couples, Aquarius and Libra are easily able to bond with one another’s friend groups.
2
They know how to maintain good humor during tough times. Every relationship is sure to face hardships, whether within the relationship itself or outside of it. Libra and Aquarius both share a natural curiosity and cleverness that helps them to stay positive even during difficult times.
- Their cleverness and creativity pairs well with their intellect and reasoning abilities: when the chips are down, Aquarius and Libra can see a way through, making them unlikely to succumb to despair.
- Aquarius's status as the water-bearer of the zodiac will aid her in maintaining a clear vision of the future, no matter what's happening in the present. The water-bearer is a symbol for someone who brings life (literally or spiritually) to others, which Aquarius does in the form of her creativity and innovation.
3
Aquarius needs independence, and Libra is happy to accommodate. Though these signs love spending time together and chatting into the early dawn, Aquarius may require a hefty dose of solitude. Both Aquarius and Libra are particularly good at communicating and aren't prone to jealousy, meaning that when Aquarius needs some alone time, Libra doesn't take it to heart. Both signs are likely to get as much breathing room as they need in their relationship.
- However, Libra can occasionally take too much space if he begins to feel unhappy or restless. Aquarius, keep an eye out to distinguish whether your Libra needs breathing room to maintain his independence, or whether he is pulling away from you.
- When they aren't socializing or talking, these smarties love to read and learn new things. Reading together is a great way for them to maintain their solitude while still spending quality time together.

Emotions

1
Aquarius will help her Libra be more confident. While Libra men can be charming and diplomatic, their diplomacy can sometimes cause them to sacrifice too much of themselves to satisfy others. When he dates an Aquarius, her natural confidence and firmness are likely to rub off on him.^{[3]

- These signs both boast even-keeled emotions most of the time, but Aquarius won't hesitate to stand up for herself and her ideals when she needs to. Libra may rely too much on "keeping the peace," even at the expense of voicing his opinions or staying true to himself.
2
Libra will help to bring out Aquarius’s warmth. Aquarius women are very unique, and proud of it. They know how to stand up for themselves and not default to the status quo. But while an Aqua woman’s uniqueness and confidence are great traits, they can also make her seem standoffish or even cold at times. Libra will use his natural warmth and diplomacy to balance her out, drawing out her softer, less intense side.
- While both Libra and Aquarius love to socialize, Aquarius can sometimes default to watching other people rather than actually engaging with them! With Libra's encouragement, she can show off her soft side and connect more easily with others.

Potential Challenges

1
Libra may struggle with restlessness. The dark side of being the sign of “balance” is that sometimes Libra will jump back and forth between 2 ideas or desires: when he’s in a relationship, he will fondly recall the days he was single—but when he’s single, he’ll crave the intimacy of a relationship. Aquarius is one of the few signs in the zodiac who really understands how to date a Libra guy, but his tendency to flip-flop is something both parties need to be aware of and something he will have to work on overcoming.
- Despite his restlessness, Libra can be very committed. His desire to “escape” the bonds of a relationship tends to be periodic and short-lived, and it will fade over time.
- That said, he and his Aquarius should talk about his conflicting feelings when they do arise. As they are both naturally great communicators, this is unlikely to be a severe issue in the relationship.
- Aquarius, take notice if your Libra man starts to pull away. Libras need a lot of space in a relationship, but if he has stopped communicating with you, this is a sign he is feeling restless or dissatisfied.
- Libra, if you do end your relationship with Aquarius, be sure it’s what you really want, as it’s hard to win an Aquarius back!
2
Aquarius may struggle to match Libra's flirtatiousness and romance. Libra and Aquarius's shared love of ideas and ability to parse through complex thoughts is what draws them together. Unfortunately, Aquarius may struggle to stop thinking, which may leave romantic and flirtatious Libra feeling a little frustrated at times.^{[4]

- Libra's undivided attention for his Aquarius lover will make it easier for her to feel romantic around him compared to other signs, but she'll still have to work on her seduction techniques.
- It may be helpful for both signs to sit down together and discuss their love languages to establish concrete ways of showing and receiving affection for and from each another.
3
Libra’s attraction to refinement can make him judgmental at times. While Aquarius seems to be a perfect fit, the more intimate the two become, the more likely her “unrefined” qualities are to show. Libra will have to work on being less judgmental and demanding in order for both parties to be comfortable expressing their full, authentic selves, whether they’re gabbing away at a party like Dorothy Parker at the Algonquin or, well, lounging in their sweats watching reality TV.
- Libra men tend to be handsome, well-kept, and refined, and they demand this of their partners as well. But this expectation for constant refinement is unrealistic, which may contribute to Libra’s occasional flightiness.
