Love, Aquarius Style

Is sex a maker or a breaker for Aquarian relationships?

How is Aquarius like Baked Alaska? They’re warm on the surface but chilly underneath. To be fair, they’re as passionate as anyone, but they live in their heads, so sex isn’t the end-all be-all of a relationship. On the (way) upside, they’re inventive—even quirky—lovers. They hate to be bored, so you won’t be either!

Aquarians don’t just think outside the box, they live there. If smitten, he or she could probe your politics one minute and take you rock climbing the next. There’s a method to their madness. Pass the “test” and you could be wacky enough to enter their unpredictable world!

Are You Penny-Wise, Aquarius?

Are you putting your fiscal future in jeopardy, Aquarius?

Noone ever accused you of being too consistent! That goes for your money management style, too. You swing between saving and spending, thrift and extravagance, organized and scattered, pie-in-the-sky and reality, depending on your mood that day.

For all that, money seems to arrive when you need it even as it pours like water from the Water Bearer’s jug, especially when you see a new gadget! You’re clever, so you can achieve financial stability if you want to. All it takes is a bit of balance, a budget, and a savings account for you to take charge of your fiscal future.

Scary Aquarian Health Risk

Other people’s stress is bad for Aquarian health!

Youmay think that your famously positive, detached Aquarian demeanor protects you from the negative vibes of others, but you’re wrong! Even if you stay cool as a cucumber in the tensest situation, or in the face of an angry co-worker, that doesn’t mean you’re immune. Chronic stress is bad for your health, weakens the immune system, and increases one’s risk for high blood pressure, heart disease, and worse. But studies show that the stress and anxiety you pick up from someone else may actually be worse for you! Is the conference room starting to feel like a pressure cooker? Take a break and get some air!

Jobs Aquarians Should Consider

Are you settling?

Youdon’t follow the beaten path in the rest of your life, so why do it at work? There’s a niche for your unique talents, perhaps in one of these fields.

Teacher, advisor, arbitrator, lawyer: You’re nonjudgmental, logical, and you like to help people.

Computer sciences, engineering: You love technology, the newer the better.

Indie filmmaker: You like people to follow your “script” and play the roles that you’ve assigned to them!

Private investigator, researcher: You collect facts like others collect stamps.

Avant-garde artist: Follow in the footsteps of fellow Aquarians Philip Glass, Yoko Ono, Jackson Pollock, Gertrude Stein, and Federico Fellini!

Aquarius Dating Deal Breakers

Things Water Bearers just can’t tolerate…

There are some qualities that an Aquarius just won’t tolerate in a love interest! Don’t be…

Bossy. But Aquarius has no problem telling <i>you</i> the best way to do something!

Clingy. Be independent and pursue your own interests.

Drama queen. Your tantrums will be studied like a science experiment.

Intolerant. Live and let live.

A nag. Make your point subtly.

Nosy. Don’t poke around in the Water Bearer’s private business.

Pouty. If you sit in wounded silence, Aquarius will never know you’re unhappy.

Untruthful. Aquarius is upfront and so should you be, too.

A wet blanket. Be ready to try new things, day or night!

Aquarius Career Strengths

Creative: Thinking outside the box is a true Aquarian asset! The ability to see new and unexpected solutions to problems is one of the most powerful qualities this sign can bring to any career.

Versatile: Because they’re so innovative, they may easily thrive in non-traditional work environments—or as freelancers who control their own schedules. Startups are great environments for this sign.

Friendly: While they can take time to form deep connections romantically, it’s easy for Aquarians to get along with most people easily.

Adaptable: Unpredictability is difficult for many signs, but keeping calm in response to erratic Uranus energy is second nature to Aquarians!

Open-Minded: Their intellect can be intimidating—and they have a tendency to push past some people’s emotional comfort zones—but Aquarius genuinely want to connect, share, and hear different ideas.

Quick-Moving: Aquarius may have difficulty with routine, but that makes them excellent and agile workers, able to shift gears easily and come up with fresh perspectives even in the most last-minute situations.

Leader: Aquarians have strong ideas, the ability to communicate them, and the perspective to see situations from high-level visions.

Aquarius Personality

Cool, mysterious, and full of fascinating ideas, every party needs an Aquarius (or several). They just ooze “cool” vibes. This sign has the unique ability to connect with a wide range of people while still maintaining a sense of distance—making them the object of desire to people across the zodiac.

Aquarians don’t play hard to get; they simply are hard to get (even once you’re in a relationship with one). They can be both engaging and aloof, popular and peculiar, gregarious and independent. They’re happy to be the center of attention, but they also need to do things on their own terms and have been known to disappear when they need a break.

Aquarians are nothing if not independent. They are the ultimate nonconformists, preferring to invent their way in the world. They have unique ideas, interests, and ways of moving about the world and they are unafraid to do it alone to avoid compromising their ideals.

How to Seduce an Aquarius

Seducing an Aquarian starts with the mind before any other part of the body gets involved. Witty banter, the ability to surprise them with unexpected knowledge, and holding your own when things take a turn for the weird is a great way to form a seductive bond with an Aquarius. Be flexible, be cool, and be yourself… that’s what attracts an Aquarius.

Seduce them by spending time exploring their more esoteric interests. An impressive first date might include a trip to a comic bookstore, planetarium visit, or electronic music concert.

Most importantly, show that you care. Talk about the causes and issues that mean something to you is a major foundation of getting this socially minded Air sign to fall for you. 

Don’t get overly emotional or be afraid to keep a respectful distance at first; this sign will respect your independence. Aquarius prefers genuine connection over compliments and ego-stroking, so be real, down-to-earth, and engaged.

Aquarius Psychic Traits

Aquarius’ ruling planet is Uranus, which rules over astrology. As such, Aquarians have an innate understanding of the cosmic link between society and the stars. This creates an interesting dynamic between intuition, curiosity, and systems.

While this sign may have a deep love for all things strange, weird, and even spooky, they’ll only dive in if they find a way to explain it. Unlike Pisces, the most psychic sign, Aquarians are unlikely to sit with their emotions and try to connect with the beyond, or spend time engaging with the dream space. They prefer to be more hands (and head) on in their explorations of life’s curiosities.

If there is one Aquarian quality that is the most psychic, it has to be that they seem to be able to see the future! Because they are such a progressive sign, Aquarian’s ability to see what’s coming next can be viewed as a kind of sixth sense. After all, what are psychics if not visionaries?

Aquarius Love

In the beginning… Finding commitment with an Aquarius can be a slow road. It can take time to find someone truly compatible, and Aquarians will be judging that through time, conversation, and bonding over common interests. In fact, one of the best ways to get to an Aquarian’s heart is to engage them with their hobbies and passions.

When things are going well… For Aquarius, shifting that focus from dating to committing is rare. Aquarians also prioritize intellect over emotions, so they’ll lead with their head before their heart when it comes to choosing and committing to a partner.

That said, if Aquarius does find a person they feel truly sees and understands them, they can be loyal and steadfast to that person. It takes patience and flexibility, but an Aquarian can be a great and committed partner to someone who is open minded and equally independent.

When things are on the rocks… This sign has a tendency to present themselves as cold or distant—so partners who can be clingy, nervous, or in need a lot of emotional assurance, will unlikely stick around long enough to get serious.
