Possibly the most independent of all astrology signs, Aquarius is the loner of the zodiac. According to many popular horoscopes, Aquarius love compatibility is virtually non-existent, but is this sign really destined to be a lonely hippy in the festival of life? No, not a bit of it! As a quirky, eccentric Aquarius you have more than your fair share of admirers, and you bring some very special gifts to a relationship too. Your mythological archetype is the visionary, and we all know visionaries have groupies!
It is true that your independence and need for freedom make you reluctant to settle down into traditional domestic bliss. You are nothing if not unconventional, after all. You do love deeply, but you might give a lover the impression that you care more for mankind in general than you do for him or for her; your humanitarian instincts can trump your personal interests frequently, and many the partner of an Aquarius complains that their partner is too busy saving the world to have time for them. Aquarius compatibility depends upon compromise between your ideals and your partner??s wishes.
You??re not really all that interested in the fluffy, romantic visions of love held dear by some other signs. For you, love is about a meeting of minds, and about the ability to cope in choppy waters. You tend to assume that your feelings don??t need to be made explicit, which can upset those signs who depend on open demonstrations of affection. Aquarius compatibility often works best with partners other people disapprove of ??? the more someone frowns upon your relationship, the more committed you??re likely to be to it, because that??s the Aquarius way! Hooking up with the waifs and strays of the zodiac, you??re an exceptionally kind and understanding partner with the ability to really turn someone??s life around.
Before you polish that halo, though, I should mention that you??re also capable of being emotionally aloof, contrary and perverse; for every heart you save, there??ll be another one you break, where a partner simply cannot figure you out. For the lover willing to take the rough with the smooth, living with you can be intoxicatingly wonderful, and never quite the same from one day to the next. An unpredictable genius, you bring flashes of originality to your romance, which always leads to interesting gifts, proposals and wee
An unpredictable genius, you bring flashes of originality to your romance, which always leads to interesting gifts, proposals and weekends away! The enigma around you just makes some people chase after you even harder, so for the typical Aquarius compatibility is not the problem, the problem comes when you want some time alone!
When it comes to the ethics of romance, you??re in a class of your own. Because you live by your own rules, your idea of fair play and fidelity may not match society??s idea, but you do have your own strict code of conduct and you don??t mean any harm. Whether your lover feels the same way about your behaviour is another matter, though. Aquarius compatibility can struggle with this, because you??re not averse to affairs and one night stands, often rationalising them away as meaningless.
If you??re in a relationship where you feel suffocated, your restless and independent streak might even deliberately seek out infidelity in order to make a stand. Obviously, this can cause severe problems for many of your potential partners, but you might argue that they??ve brought it on themselves by trying to control you too much. For your relationships to really work well, Aquarius, compatibility over freedom issues is essential. For instance, earth and water signs might find your independence too much to ask, while fire signs might be driven to jealous rages. A fellow air sign will understand??_.but you might be little more than ships which pass in the night if neither of you are good at expressing emotion. It??s not enough that you know you??re madly in love; let them know too! For an Aquarius, compatibility is also about learning to adapt your style to what your lover needs from you.
I have high respect with aquarians,yes they may appear odd but that makes them more charming. Their need for space and freedom is somehow difficult to understand because they are extremes. Either their so into you or like you but opted to distance themeselves from you.
We are unique in our own ways,each individual is thus it is also a must (i think) that no matter how comfortable we are in our comfort zonez, we have to adapt with the environment we are living in and the people around us especially with our partners. Thus aquarians,if I may suggest, should also be able to consider their partners emotions. learn to compromise, let them know your need of alone time instead of just disappearing in a snap. Just a heads up instead of frustrating them. There have been a lot of issues with the aquas being aloof etc.. I think this just needs some communication between you and your partner,let them know it has nothing to do with them and its your personal need...that easy.=)

Just wondering..why do the thing of "not showing emotions"?
And beneath that "blank stare" is a never ending working mind,right?haha
Being detach is your shell,despite a person's reassurance,you still feel vulnerable to pain thats why you pted not to show any emotion no matter how much you like the person? Dont you fear that you might lose the person with that kind of defense?
why are we january and february people always called "odd" by the astro community? Oh jayzus.
I have to admit, i do like unconventionality, even though i'm a traditionalist and love marriage and old fashioned rules. There's a sense of unconventionality about my way of thinking and writing - like when i think up stuff. My husband helps me alot with perspective too.
You think toooo much that you become stagnant..too much fear that youre stuck seeing the person you like walking away... Right?=)

that went rightttt over my head....huh?
oh my god, i forgot to answer this:

That is SOOO noooot true.
I loveeeee romance so much. I get all giddy when I imagine romantic scenerios and stuff. It's soooo dreammyyy!!! Definitely need affection and huggles and loves. So no, no no no to the article. that's just dumb to presume that people born in those months don't like that stuff. Hell to yes that we love that romance. I tell my husband: BRING IT! LOL
^ Definitely not true for me. Couldn't hide my emotions if I tried.
Suppose the term loner really isn't true here or perhaps that's how others view it, perhaps we're not ones to pursue unless there's a really good reason and reality is you'd have to catch us.
I don't really buy into the whole we just disappear without a reason. We disappear with good reason. Reason enough not to tell the other person, good or bad. Truth is if you haven't captured me entirely then I'm still me and I owe you no explanation.
and hey welcome back lisabeth! Big Grin
Hey hey hey aquanoz smile
"reason enough not to tell the other person,good or bad"--- but why? If you like someone,why dont you.consider his/her feelings of being confused,frustrated etc about the whole detachment thing?...
I'd have to disagree, too. I love romance! Don't get enough of it. When I like someone/am interested in more than friendship, I let the person know directly. I'm not detached. I'm only detached now when I feel uncertain of the other person's feelings toward me (whether they are mutual or not, due to mixed signals). That unsteady behavior makes me detached to avoid from falling in too deep when the other person may not even be interested in me romantically in a deep way. Who wants the rug pulled from beneath them? I pass. Been there and done that enough. If I trust that you like me back, and your words along with your actions prove this to be the case, I would NOT be remotely detached!

By that logic I can also say why won't the other person consider my feelings and why I need to 'detach'. I do tell those who I care for if I need time alone, what I'm saying is before the other person gains my trust I feel no reason to say anything.

So what you're saying is, Aquasnoz, the more you trust someone the more you tend to neglect in providing details and the other person just have to know what's on your mind? That's such an odd way of thinking smile The more I read about Aquas and their way of thoughts processing, the more in awe I am with all these astrology stuffs. smile Very interesting.
Ahhh...I got it now. Thanks for pointing that out Aquabeauty. *phew*

Ok I may sound crazy...
But it seems like you're describing me, this is soooo me! Lmao!
I thought Aquas are detach but I was wrong all along.
This cat lady astrology is somewhat inaccurate in some ways Tongue
I think Aquas are the most romantic people and very demonstrative of what they feel inside but i think it has something to do with trust as well.
Once they trust you enough they will never be afraid of showing and proving their love and adoration.
I can't help smiling for no reason when I think of Aquas...

Maybe I'm secretly a Virgo :o haha! Come to think of it I don't think I have any virgo placements!
I love love, I love surprises, I love romance, I love to be affectionate when I'm with someone I have given myself to.
However, when I don't know how the other person feels or we are in that grey area of dating... good luck buddy. I will not only confuse you, but I will confuse myself on how I feel about you, because I am an emotional retard.
When I'm in the early stages of dating, I get a bit jealous, insecure, and doubtful. However, once we seal the deal and are exclusive and in a committed relationship, I'm a completely different person. No more jealousy, no more bouts of irrational behavior and insecurities, and you actually know how I feel. None of this I like you today, and don't want to have anything to do with you the next. It's just getting to that point in a relationship. Whether it be that I scare them away with my many layers, my being hard to read... or what have you.
It's tough sometimes to find one that sticks, and one that want to stick and that I care just as much about. It's when they do stick, that I am able to relax, because at that point, they've seen me at my worst and all of my colors... and it's all smooth sailing from there, so I can relax, sit back and enjoy.
