Exciting and fun, the match of Aries and Aquarius has solid potential, though it may be challenging in some specific areas...
These scores show the averages for data collected from my clients over the past 20 years. It's important to note however that individual relationships vary enormously. This is a summarized picture, a real compatibility reading is needed to judge a real relationship. It's also worth noting that Soulmates can be found in any sun sign match, even those which are statistically likely to have low compatibility.
This article is in two halves, the first is written from the viewpoint of the Aries man or Aries woman, and the second is written from the viewpoint of the Aquarius man or Aquarius woman.
You'll be drawn to your Aquarius's unpredictable and dynamic nature, analytical mind and unique style.
You're a fire sign and your Aquarius is an air sign, and this match typifies that analogy. You'll love how uninhibited and independent your partner is, and will appreciate their bold ideas and free-thinking.
You're both rebellious at heart and neither of you seek or need the approval of others. You see things the same way and both look optimistically to the future rather than dwelling on the past or tradition.
You both can be very stubborn however your Aquarian will rarely dig in on a subject, so you will often get your way. If your partner does dig in however, it's best to let them win that one, as they won't back down anytime soon, and overall you tend to be more flexible.
Like so many other aspects of your Aquarians personality you might not totally understand them, but that just adds to their mysterious charm!
You're both impulsive and bold lovers, and will appreciate each others inhibition and sense of adventure.
There's a chance you will want sex more often than your Aquarian, who can get easily distracted sometimes. While you can likely focus on (or forget about) anything you choose, Aquarius's are somewhat known for becoming very wrapped up in their deep and fascinating thoughts.
Enjoy that aspect of your partner, and don't let it offend you or create a wedge between you. One of the best aspects of this relationship is how unpredictable and exciting your partner is. You're highly passionate and prone to getting bored, but this is a partner who is likely to hold your interest if you don't let their quirks offend you!
It's important to note however that we're looking only at sun signs here. There are many other planets which can have an equal or greater effect on someone's personality. Makes sense, as ultimately everyone is of course unique. Generalizing too far based just on sun signs can therefore be misleading.
To fully understand someone or how compatible you are with them we need to calculate those other planet placements from their date of birth, and compare them to your own, and then interpret the results.
This unlocks the real power of astrology, and gives much more useful and specific information: everything from how they view you, how to turn them on, how to avoid arguments with them etc. If you would like to explore this further please see the compatibility readings page.
You both place a high value on independence, which works well as neither of you will smother the other. You're also both optimistic and somewhat rebellious. Your Aries will enjoy your free-thinking, and you'll enjoy their spontaneity and care-free nature.
It's likely you have a very similar sense of humor, neither of you are concerned about being politically correct if a situation is funny enough!
Your Aries likes to be largely in control and you probably wont have a problem with this, though you may want to pick your battles and not be a pushover. They respect someone who stands up to them, at least sometimes.
Neither of you are very emotional, something you'll both come to appreciate, and neither of you are you jealous or possessive, again an important point to each of you.
You have much in common with your fiery Aries, not least your lack of inhibitions. You may find Aries to be fairly demanding in the bedroom; however you'll probably be able to keep them entertained and constantly begging for more. You'll certainly appreciate their creativity and spontaneity.
If you can compromise on your weak areas this is a relationship which is likely to improve over time, with great potential!
So is this article conclusive? No! This article is based only on sun sign interaction. In order to provide a lot of people with information it's a convenient and fast way to generalize, but it's far from conclusive at this broad level. To get a complete picture we need to take all the other planets and their interactions into account for each of you, with a real astrology reading...
