Those born under the Aquarius zodiac sign (January 20 – February 18) are creative, intelligent, and totally unconventional. These signs have big dreams and a unique point of view and are best suited to partners that will stimulate their intellect and imagination.
1. Aquarius + Gemini
Gemini and Aquarius are both air signs and a match made in heaven. They are super-intelligent, curious, crave adventure, and prefer to go wherever the wind takes them. They equally fear getting bored in a relationship, but that risk is reduced when they’re paired with each other as this duo will rarely land itself in a rut
2. Aquarius + Scorpio
On the surface, Scorpio and Aquarius look wildly different. Scorpio likes to keep their partner close while Aquarius values their independence and considers a relationship a complement to their life. However, when these two signs get together, they form a deep bond that can last a lifetime. They teach each other new things and give each other balance and a sense of fulfillment.
3. Aquarius + Leo
A fire sign like Leo is a great match for Aquarius as both are open-minded and will support each other’s crazy dreams. Leo may struggle with Aquarius’ slightly aloof, not very affectionate nature but the lion will be happy to have a spontaneous adventurous partner rather than a safe and boring one. The relationship between Leo and Aquarius is exciting and full of possibilities as both have an incredible zest for life.
4. Aquarius + Libra
Aquarius is typically compatible with their other two fellow air signs, Gemini and Libra. When they meet a Libra they like, Aquarius will fall in love quickly but if they don’t put effort into sustaining their bond, the relationship could end just as fast. These two make great friends given their similar personalities which is a great foundation for a relationship, so as long as they prioritize it after the honeymoon ends they have a good shot at lasting.
5. Aquarius + Sagittarius
Sagittarius shares the same adventurous passion for life that Aquarius does and these two have similar ideas about what makes a happy, exciting life. They’re both deep thinkers who will share deep, philosophical, fulfilling conversations and stimulate each other intellectually and emotionally. The temper and bluntness Sagittarius has could be a deal-breaker for Aquarius and ditto Sagittarius may become annoyed with Aquarius’ people-pleasing. If they can work past each other’s flaws they could create something special and long-lasting.
6. Aquarius + Virgo
The relationship between Virgo and Aquarius is always interesting as they aren’t the most compatible signs in the zodiac, but they’re not the worst match either. The biggest threat is that free-spirited unconventional Aquarius can be too much for pragmatic, down-to-earth, perfectionist Virgo. This could also be a case of opposites attracting and bringing each other together.
7. Aquarius + Pisces
Pisces is free-spirited like Aquarius and both have big dreams and love to get lost in them. The trouble is when they are together, their dreams rarely come to fruition probably because Pisces has escaped off to fairyland and Aquarius is all up in their head solving the climate crisis. Aquarius can benefit from partnering up with a stronger more ambitious sign that will encourage them to pursue their goals but Pisces isn’t pushy. Sensitive, emotional Pisces may also find Aquarius too distant and unemotional (they aren’t they are just busy inventing).
8. Aquarius + Aries
Aries and Aquarius are both masculine signs, so this relationship has a lot of strong energy, which can be good but can also lead to arguments. When this pair gets together, there’s a lot of debating and heated discussion. Given Aries’ fiery stubborn nature and Aquarius’ cold and condescending way, these two can bring out the worst in each other but there are always exceptions.
9. Aquarius + Capricorn
Capricorn and Aquarius are pretty much different in every other way. While some signs have differences that bring balance and harmony to the relationship, they can make this pair incompatible. Capricorn is cautious and disciplined and will consider the glass half-empty while Aquarius is spontaneous and eccentric and sees it as half-full. If by some miracle they work out, Capricorn can be good for freedom-living Aquarius as they will push them toward achieving their dreams, while Aquarius may get their Cappy to chill a little.
10. Aquarius + Taurus
Like Capricorn, Taurus is an earth sign and while the combination of earth and air can be compatible most often their differences are too much. Earth signs crave structure and stability while the air signs dread routine. These two also tend to butt heads as Taurus is resistant to change (and changing their mind), while Aquarius is the most progressive, innovative, and free-spirited sign in the zodiac.
11. Aquarius + Cancer
Anything is possible but in a relationship Cancer and Aquarius rarely make a good match. Cancer is way too emotional and sensitive for Aquarius, who can come off as cold and distant (again they are just all in their head). When hurt or upset Cancer will retreat into its shell until it feels safe, but Aquarius doesn’t have the patience to coax Cancer out. Aquarians need someone who can go with the flow and will go wherever the wind blows whereas Cancer never likes to leave their home.
12. Aquarius + Aquarius
When two Aquarians come together romantically the match can be intellectually stimulating and have a strong sense of camaraderie. They have shared values, both love their independence, and will stimulate each other’s minds by discussing ideas, sharing philosophy, and brainstorming innovative concepts. On the not-so-positive side, they can both be emotionally detached and aloof which can lead to misunderstandings and a lack of intimacy, and because they are so similar the relationship has a real risk of being monotonous.
