Aquarius and Water Sign Compatibility

1
Aquarius and Pisces have the most potential for a great relationship. These two have the most in common of all the water signs—they're both compassionate, interested in learning, and value honesty in a relationship. Aquarius and Pisces get along really well and they don't argue often because they'd both rather put their energies toward developing their relationship and improving the world around them.^{[1]

- The challenges this couple face happen because Pisces might want more emotional support or affection while Aquarius might be too distant at times.
- These two can be really good for each other when they listen and respect one another. Pisces encourages Aquarius to be in touch with their emotions and Aquarius stimulates Pisces' intellect.

Aquarius and Cancer have different values, which makes for a tough match. Aquarius is friendly, but tends to be emotionally frozen. So, Cancer, one of the most emotional, sensitive signs of the zodiac, struggles to understand Aquarius. Cancer also prioritizes family and stability while Aquarius lives to shake up the status quo.^{[2]

- For an Aquarius and Cancer relationship to work, they both have to love the fact that they're so different!
- For instance, Aquarius should be inspired by how intuitive Cancer is while Cancer has to love how flexible and intellectual Aquarius is. This relationship will only work if they don't try to change each other.

Aquarius and Scorpio form a stubborn, challenging relationship. These signs form a square—a hard aspect or angle in a birth chart that represents difficulty. Both Aquarius and Scorpio are fixed signs, so they are both opinionated and inflexible. Plus, it's hard for Aquarius to change their mind once it's made up. All of these traits mean that it's hard for the couple to communicate and they frequently fight since they don't see eye-to-eye.^{[3]

- If both Aquarius and Scorpio can learn to appreciate each other's differences, they can make the relationship work.
- For instance, Scorpio is passionate and can be aggressive. Aquarius needs to realize this and Scorpio must learn that Aquarius is more independent and needs space.

Best Matches for an Aquarius

1
Gemini. An Aquarius-Gemini relationship is lighthearted and effortless. This couple probably started as best friends—they're both air signs after all! They also have a lot in common.

- Since Gemini and Aquarius are both logical signs, these two have to work on expressing their emotions.
2
Aries. An Aquarius-Aries relationship is playful and exciting. Aries is a fire sign so they're bold and spontaneous. Aquarius can't help but have fun when Aries is around! Plus, Aquarius's calm personality can tame Aries's boisterous side. When these two get together they love to explore and have adventures.
- Air and fire relationships tend to work really well since the air sign, Aquarius, comes up with the ideas while the fire sign, Aries, gives the spark of motivation to get things going.
3
Libra. An Aquarius-Libra couple is harmonious and comfortable. Libra is also an air sign, so these two really understand each other—both are friendly and outgoing, and they're intellectual but fun! This pair doesn't put pressure on each other to commit and they love exploring together.
- Because these two are totally laid back, they can avoid bringing up concerns with each other. This can lead to resentment unless they make a point of talking about their relationship.
4
Sagittarius. An Aquarius-Sagittarius relationship feels easy and totally unique. Aquarius is drawn to fire signs like Sagittarius because they're so passionate and interesting. Plus, both of these signs value their independence, so they don't feel pressure to be in the relationship. Instead, they both love spontaneity and doing creative things when they do spend time together.
- It's true that Aquarius is more of a homebody in this relationship, but that's fine! Sagittarius loves the freedom to stretch their legs and both signs love catching up when they get back together.
5
Leo. An Aquarius-Leo couple shows that opposites attract! Leos are known for their friendly, open personality, so they inspire Aquarius to relax and show affection. Aquarius loves that warm, fuzzy feeling they get around their Leo. Since they're both social signs, they enjoy spending time with mutual friends. This is a comfortable relationship that is just plain fun.^{[5]

- Leo is a fire sign, which explains why there's a lot of attraction between this couple. Fire and air signs are famous for relationships that sizzle in the beginning. The trick is keeping the spark between Leo and Aquarius alive.
