Aquarius and Aquarius compatibility: two original minds

Are two Aquarians compatible?

Yes, if both want the same kind of closeness. Aquarius is fixed air, ruled by Saturn in the older system and Uranus in the modern one: a blend of discipline and rebellion. Two Aquarians meet as equals, and neither feels expected to adopt the other's customs. For a sign that is often described as unusual, finding someone who finds that normal is a relief.

Because they share the same blind spots, the pair also shares the same difficulty. Neither habitually names feelings, so the relationship can run on interesting conversation for years with an emotional core that remains unexplored.

That is not a flaw in the match, only a task. Often the thing missing is a single honest conversation about what each wants from the other, and the sooner it happens, the less distance there is to close.

Aquarius and Aquarius compatibility scores by area

Friendship is the highest area at 85 for two Aquarians, and love is the lowest at 74.

What an Aquarius couple looks like

An unconventional one. They may keep separate rooms, live in two cities for a time, or run a household with rules they invented. They tend to have wide circles and a taste for causes, technology, subcultures or strange hobbies. A partner is a collaborator, and the relationship is a long project they both find interesting.

• ✦Real freedom: nobody asks for justification of a Tuesday.
• ✦Conversation that moves across subjects without needing small talk.
• ✦A shared belief that people should be allowed to be odd.

Stubborn minds, cool hearts

Fixed signs defend their positions, and two Aquarians can debate a point of principle for an entire holiday. Neither concedes, partly from pride and partly from a sincere belief in being right, and the topic becomes a fixture of the relationship like a family joke that is not funny.

The way out is a playful concession. Say, you are right about that part, and I still disagree with the rest, and notice how much heat leaves the room when one person names a point in the other's favor.

A cooler problem is the response to emotion. When one is upset, the other offers analysis. When one is lonely, the other offers space. Each means well and neither gets what they needed.

Aquarius and Aquarius sexual compatibility

Two Aquarians bring curiosity, openness and no judgment at all, so the bedroom is a place to try things. Fixed air is loyal once committed, and an Aquarius who trusts its partner can be surprisingly devoted. What the pair lacks is heat: love is its lowest score, and both can treat intimacy as interesting rather than urgent.

The fix is presence. Two minds that wander toward ideas can drift even mid-embrace. Slowing down, keeping the phone in another room and saying what felt good afterward turns a cerebral connection into a physical one.

Values two Aquarians share, and the feelings they skip

The values are a match: freedom, equality, honesty, and a belief that the future can be better than the past. The feelings are the shared blind spot. Aquarius feels deeply about people in general and finds it harder to say what it feels about one person, so two of them can be devoted for years and rarely say so.

Aquarius man and Aquarius woman: friends who happen to be partners

An Aquarius man and Aquarius woman usually share a friend group, a cause or a favorite topic before they share a home. They respect each other's space so thoroughly that nobody has to ask for it. Feelings, however, are handled as an interesting subject. A direct sentence, "I miss you", can do more than an hour of ideas.

Both are fixed signs, so opinions settle hard. An argument over a principle can last weeks, with neither willing to yield on the point. Agree that some disagreements are allowed to stay open, and keep a separate channel for the personal question of how each is actually doing.

Friendship and the long game

As friends, two Aquarians are dependable in their own way, sharing ideas, introductions and lasting loyalty. Their friendship can survive silences of months. As partners, a lasting version tends to develop slowly out of friendship, and the transition may be so quiet that they discover afterward that they have been a couple for a while.

Marriage and shared projects

Marriage works best when it has a purpose beyond itself: a cause, a business, a creative practice. Put regular time in the calendar for intimacy that has nothing to do with productivity, because it will not arise on its own. Give each partner an equal say and a guaranteed amount of solitude. And once a year, ask each other the question that neither would raise unprompted: what would make you feel closer to me? Aquarians who ask it are often surprised by how simple the answer is.

How a double Aquarius ranks on the Aquarius chart

On the Aquarius compatibility chart, Aquarius with Aquarius comes fifth of 12 at 78. The best match there is Gemini and Libra, and the hardest is Cancer. Two Aquarius signs share one chart, so the rank reads the same from both sides. Among all 78 pairings of two signs, the double Aquarius comes 29th.

A rank compares one match with the eleven others on the same test, nothing more. Couples low on each other's chart still last when they know where the friction sits, and the sections above name it for this pair.

Do two Aquarians need different Venus or moon signs?

It helps a great deal. An Aquarius can have Venus in Sagittarius, Capricorn, Aquarius, Pisces or Aries. A partner with Venus in Pisces is the tender, romantic one; Venus in Aries is the passionate, direct one; Venus in Capricorn is the loyal planner. Two Venus signs in different elements give the pair the range a shared sun lacks.

The moon is the bigger question. If both moons are air too, the couple will think about feelings far more than it shows them. A water or fire moon on one side usually makes that partner the one who reaches out first.
