A Little About Aquarius
Aquarians will impress you the minute you meet them- if they don’t repel you first. They have positive traits like being inventive, but they can be emotionally detached. Read on to find out three of their best and worst traits.
Their Best Traits
Aquarians may seem all good when you first meet them. They will wow you with their uniqueness and inventive talents. They are also highly aware of social situations and social issues.
Unique
Each and every Aquarius is a unique individual and there is nobody quite like them. They do share some traits, but each of them has their own spin on them and has their own way of doing things. Aquarius is a Fixed Sign, which means they are creatures of habits. They are set in their ways and predictable once they establish routines. However, they all have their own routines and preferences. They don’t follow any crowd, don’t let anybody tell them how to live or think, and are 100% themselves. They are open minded and open to new ideas and experiences, but on their terms, their timeline, and uniquely their own way.

Inventive
Aquarius is lucky to have two ruling planets. Traditional Astrology says Saturn, a serious, dismal planet of responsibility and emotional depth rules Aquarius. While they certainly have these traits, modern Astrology places Uranus as their ruling planet. Uranus is a disruptive force of change, innovation, and revolutions in society. This gives Aquarians their inventive abilities. They are always looking at the status quo, and seeing ways of challenging it . They invent new things in various disciplines including art, events, science, and government. They have a million ideas for new projects and tireless energy to get these new things started and out in the world.
Socially Aware
That inventive, disruptive energy from Uranus makes Aquarians highly aware of society and aware of how to communicate with people effectively. Not only are they great at mobilizing people to help them make their inventive ideas come to be, but they can see where change needs to be in the world. They pick causes and crusade for justice and changes to make things better. They care deeply about the welfare of people, animals, nature, and the world in general. They use their communications skills to organize people to crusade for positive changes. They believe every living creature has the right to be free, and they will fight for that right with their last breath.

Their Worst Traits
Aquarians might sound really awesome about now, and they really are, but they aren’t perfect by any means. They have terrible tempers and can be downright odd at times. Despite their communication and social skills, they can be emotionally detached and downright cold.
Temperamental
Aquarians seem like the most laid back, easygoing people on earth- until they get upset. Then, you are going to hear about it and you may never hear the end of it. They don’t mean to be demanding, they are just highly sensitive people who care deeply. The minute they feel wronged or offended, they can lose it and have a temper eruption. Yelling, finger pointing, tangents, and fiery revenge are things they can be known for. Some people have zero tolerance for this side of Aquarians, and will cut them off immediately. If you love your Aquarius, listen patiently and let them vent. Then have a serious conversation with them. Make sure to validate their feelings, while you remind them to take a breather. Just be aware, this is one of the Signs that sometimes holds a monumental grudge and may stay mad even if you didn’t do anything wrong. Good luck.
Odd
Aquarians live in the world they created. This can put them out of touch with reality and make them difficult to relate to, let alone coexist with. Being the inventors and creators of the Zodiac is a big job and it’s not one Aquarians do part-time. They are 100% all about whatever they have invented, whether it be living a life of something like activism, or saving animals. They can be completely outside the real world the rest of the planet lives on. If you really want to date or marry an Aquarius, you have to dedicate yourself to that world long-term. Not everyone can do that. Read about Aquarius Zodiac flowers here: What is the Best Aquarius Flower?
Extremely Detached
Aquarians come across as everyone’s friend, but they’re not. Their public persona creates a pleasant environment where everyone gets along, and people feel good about being on their team. They have large friends groups they effortlessly hold together. They make each person feel special, until it’s time to demonstrate that each person who thought Aquarius held special IS special. Then the Aquarian will give speeches about independence, and lets people know they can replace them in a heartbeat. They do this in what are supposed to be personal relationships too. All you can do is cut your losses and move on when an Aquarius tells you that you don’t mean as much to them as you thought you did.
What it Takes to Make it Work
To make things work with your Aquarius, you have to fit with the world that they are building and you have to understand that they cannot conform to societal standards. If you are someone who believes that your Aquarius should change in any way, you're not compatible with them. They were born to create and invent, not be tied down or told what to do. You also have to accept that they will be surrounded with a motley gaggle of unique individuals who come and go like a revolving door. They will have a plethora of projects that require a lot of team work. And these team members will be in and out of their lives.

Aquarians are completely truthful if they are in long-term relationships with you or not. You may be attracted to them because of the beautiful things they bring into the world and the care and consideration that they have for all creatures, great and small. That doesn't mean they are attracted to you. They might seem friendly, but they keep their personal life private. They will do a lot of gatherings and events with lots of different people, but their home life with you is entirely different and they will hold few people near and dear. You will need to be tolerant, faithful, and on board with whatever crazy new things your Aquarius wants to do. Life will never be dull.
Aquarius’ Best Matches
Aquarians might be picky and choosy about who they have in their personal lives, but they do love to be in love. Three of their best matches are Gemini, Libra, and Sagittarius.
Gemini
Gemini is similar to Aquarius in many ways. They are both crowd pleasers, and great at communicating. They both seem to never meet a stranger, and they both love new, interesting experiences. Both of them also have a lot of options for relationships, so they don't settle for a relationship with anyone unless they want to. They understand one another on a very deep level, and they can reconcile a lifestyle together. Aquarius great ideas, and Gemini is filled with unrelenting enthusiasm. They both love to laugh, stay busy, travel, and this is a match made in heaven.
Libra
Libra sees viewpoints from every side, and that's very important, because you never know what an Aquarius is going to say. Libras, eternally open minded, love to listen as much as they love to talk, and they are some of the greatest cheerleaders in the Zodiac. If anyone can encourage someone with a new idea, it's a Libra. They love to laugh just as much as Gemini's, but Libras have a trait that a lot of other traits lack. Libras are naturally born to create harmony, and they know how to soothe Aquarius when they get upset. They also know how to be in relationships with people who need freedom, and have a great love of beauty, which Aquarius is always creating.

Sagittarius
Perhaps the most fun pairing for Aquarius is with Sagittarius people. Sagittarius has one of the most powerful senses of adventure in the Zodiac, and they seem like they are always ready for something new. Nothing is too off the wall, no thrill is too high of an adrenaline rush, and no amount of freedom their partner wants seems to be too much. Sagittarians are highly philosophical individuals, and they have many deep and meaningful conversations with socially aware Aquarius. Sagittarians are the ultimate fun makers in the Zodiac, and when they team up with Aquarius, together, they can direct the multitudes toward creating the beautiful world that they want to see.
Aquarius’ Worst Matches
Aquarians might sound like so much fun that they would be a perfect match with anybody. Some people don't get on well with them at all. Three Signs that have problems in relationships with Aquarius are Cancer, Virgo, and Capricorn. It's possible for them to work things out, but it can be a major struggle.
Cancer
Aquarius loves the sympathy and understanding that Cancers give. However, they can feel very suffocated by Cancer's need to have a close committed relationship. Cancers can also find their nerves rankled by Aquarians constantly changing lives. However, these two can balance each other well if they will give it a try. If Cancer will give Aquarius a little bit of grace, understanding, and space, Aquarius will find that a breath of fresh air paired with their compassion and support. Aquarians really are creatures of habit, so if they can get a routine down with Cancer, they can be happy together. Read more about Cancer here: Cancer Zodiac Traits and Love Compatibility
Virgo
Virgo likes to call the shots, make the rules, and make the decisions. Aquarius tells them to take a step back, take several seats, and get over themselves. Virgo doesn't like their authority questioned, and Aquarius rarely if ever recognizes authority figures. However, the Aquarian work ethic can lend itself quite nicely to Aquarius's projects. If Virgo can collaborate with them instead of trying to boss them around, these two can make a dynamic team in life, whose accomplishments together are second to none.
Capricorn
Capricorn could not be more annoyed with Aquarian’s off the walls new ideas. They think such ideas seem far fetched, and downright grandiose sometimes. Capricorns also like to do one new thing at a time, and see things through to the end. Aquarians may have countless new ideas that they're bringing to fruition all at once. However, since they're both typically in the lead in groups, if they can collaborate and team up, their accomplishments can be similar to the accomplishments that Virgos and Aquarians share with each other. They can be great partners, parents, and lovers. They have to really want to though. Read more about Capricorn here: Capricorn Zodiac Traits and Love Compatibility
A Last Word
Not everyone can handle an Aquarius, although everybody certainly seems to be attracted to them. They give everyone a chance, but they don't keep everyone around. If you are crazy about an Aquarius, and want to join them in their interesting life, tell them. Just be prepared that they might not be interested in you. They have a lot of friendly acquaintances, and are quite the crowd pleasers, but their personal circle is small, and they tend to keep people around long term. If you have a relationship with an Aquarius, that doesn't mean that you will with every Aquarius because each Aquarius is unique. Just because you've known someone with this Zodiac Sign doesn't mean you know them all.
Aquarius can be cold and withdrawn emotionally, even with people who they love. Each Aquarius is a radically independent individual, and they will let you know how much space they need. They will not conform or change to suit anyone, so don't think that you are going to groom or train your Aquarius to do things your way. They believe that we either naturally belong together or we don't. Love with an Aquarius is a new, interesting experience every day, and one that some people can't live without. If you are one of those people, you will have many happy years with them.
Unique, enterprising, and at the worst, odd and emotionally standoffish, Aquarians are some of the most interesting people. When it comes to love and relationships, though, things are going to happen on their terms. Each Aquarius is unique, and has to have freedom to be completely themselves. If you decide to walk hand in hand with an Aquarius, you will never be bored, never stop learning new things, and you will be with someone who appreciates you and loves you best of all. What could be better?
