Aquarius with the 12 Zodiac Signs
Aquarius & Aries
This is an excellent match. You both enjoy a large variety of entertainment. A truly adventuresome union as long as neither one of you tries to dominate or regulate activities.
Aquarius & Taurus
The stubborn Bull will have difficulties understanding the unpredictable side of you. Concessions will be necessary on the part of both of you if success is to follow.
Aquarius & Gemini
This is a delightful, intellectually stimulating relationship. Not always smooth but certainly an exciting and entertaining connection.
Aquarius & Cancer
You are far too aloof for the insecure Crab. Not a likely encounter, highly dangerous for Cancer and somewhat binding for you.
Aquarius & Leo
You are polar opposites. The is plenty of chemistry, however the Lion is more physical in nature then you are. You on the other hand are concerned with the intellectual aspect of the relationship that is often lacking.
Aquarius & Virgo
You are both into the intellect, however you might be a little bit too progressive for the practical Virgoan. Virgo's are just not social enough to hang on to you or hold your interest.
Aquarius & Libra
Very well-suited couple both mentally and physically. Exciting, fun loving and carefree connection. Your spending habits are the only foreseeable dilemma.
Aquarius & Scorpio
This is not the best coalition. You are both fixed in your beliefs and your free-spirited nature arouses suspicious side of the Scorpion.
Aquarius & Sagittarius
This is a wonderful affair, two ships that pass in the night. You are an active and outgoing couple, however seldom lasting because eventually you will both go in your own direction.
Aquarius & Capricorn
This is not good. You both have totally different goals in life. You are far too humanitarian to live with the Goat's manipulative, ambitious ways.
Aquarius & Aquarius
Although this is probably the most inventive coalition, it is lacking in the sexual arena. Not a lasting relationship but it can be fun for the moment.
Aquarius & Pisces
This is a pretty dicey combination. The Fish's emotional blackmail only drives you further away. This Pisces is likely to end up hurt and confused.
