You spin me right round, baby, right round.
This effervescent and rebellious combination are likely to be friends and rabble rousers, and they may meet at work, within groups and organizations, or friendship circles.
This cosmic match is not immediately romantically attracted, but there is a certain degree of curiosity about each other. They enjoy communicating, and they find it fun and cordial to be around each other.
Aquarius and Aries represent positive signs, and therefore there’s always going to be momentum in their relationship, and their approach to life tends to be open-minded.
Aries, of course, is a fire sign, and Aquarius being an air sign adds oxygen to the firepower of Aries, and that’s why being together is enlivening and engaging for both of them. One of the strong points in this relationship is going to be communication and camaraderie. They like to come together to achieve things, to learn, or even to arrange social occasions.
This is a couple that like to entertain friends, host events, and even do political activities together. The rulers Mars and Uranus are of a similar energy, and therefore this is an innovative couple who like to ring the changes and take a few risks. They also can be rather rebellious people.
One big factor in the attraction here is that both have an outspoken, rebellious nature that’s very attractive to the other.
However this relationship has only a 60% chance of reaching maturity, let’s discuss why.
Romantic Compatibility
Now, with Mars and Uranus, as well as fire and air together, there’s not a lot of love juice flowing.
Although these signs can be very romantic with other signs; when they are together, the whirlwind of activity and communication often takes precedence, and deeper emotional feeling and attachment don’t always develop.
In order to feel romantically inspired, Aries tends to need a partner who is very confident in terms of their physical expression, who likes to make advances, and who is creative in showing their love. Aquarius can be a little bit shy of showing their romantic side, and that can leave Aries confused about Aquarius’ feelings, thinking they don’t really fancy them, even though they might. The fear of not really being fancied is a problem for Aries.
When it comes to Aquarius, they need a partner who can be a bit of a tease, excite them intellectually, and even lead them a merry dance in terms of romance. Whereas Aries like to play it with a straight bat, they are pretty straightforward in terms of romance and Aquarius often wants something a little bit more mercurial.
One thing that does play in their favor is Aquarius is not deterred by drama and flashes of anger. So, when Aries gets a little bit temperamental and animated, that’s very sexually exciting for Aquarius.
Sexual Compatibility
One thing that can hamper sexual expression is idealism, as they are both rather perfectionistic in love. They want to get it right, and they both have highly specific things they want and need.
I feel that together these two can engineer a very successful sex life, but they both need to get over certain blocks mentally. It’s not so much emotional blocks, but they are mental blocks both have when it comes to sex. Often, trying new techniques together, and even sex counseling, can be incredibly effective for these two.
Sexually, they both want to get it right, and if they can commit to learning together in bed, this can be incredible. As I’ve said, Aquarius like to see passion, and they enjoy that feisty side of Aries. When Aries gets a tad bossy and determined, or even shows a bit of hot-headedness, that’s very exciting for Aquarius.
Aries enjoy a partner who’s deep, and Aquarius certainly has great depth and intellectual talent. They can be a little bit of an enigma — they’re not easily understood, which certainly adds to the sexual appeal for Aries.
Friendship
There’s no doubt there’s a powerful friendship between these two. They are likely to agree on many things, and they’re not likely to pick fights or be petty. Even when they disagree, they are quite happy to see each other’s point of view and find points of mutual interest.
This match is also a couple that are highly social and enjoy entertaining, so they will be eager to have each other’s friends around the house and to visit with other couples and relatives, which means their life together can be very full. Aquarius kind of likes it when Aries is assertive and bossy, because sometimes Aquarians lack a little bit of confidence socially. Aries enjoy the fact that Aquarius can be extremely thoughtful and have interesting opinions on things, because they are eager to learn and be challenged intellectually.
Marriage Potential
There’s no doubt that this pair likes being around each other, and there’s a certain stimulation, excitement, and a desire to take risks and enjoy life. But how does that translate when they are married and have the responsibilities of family? Could the sheen on this relationship dull when routine sets in?
I think that this relationship has the potential to be a great long-distance relationship, a later-in-life relationship, or even a relationship that starts well on a dating app. However, I have my doubts whether it has enough grit to survive the rough and tumble of marriage.
Once they are bound to routine and commitment, there might be a certain amount of frustration, and what drew them together could end up tearing them apart as they become more argumentative, which is a big hurdle for this particular couple.
Strengths and Challenges
There’s a strong degree of friendship, camaraderie, and they are likely to move in similar social circles and have shared work interests, which means there’s an awful lot to talk about and for them to share with each other.
Communication tends to be strong and vibrant. They stimulate each other’s curiosity, and they are generally drawn to each other’s positive, outgoing, and often rebellious and free-spirited personalities.
Sexually, this relationship can become deep, poignant, and actually very satisfying, and there’s an awful lot to be gained emotionally through the sexual development that this couple can pursue if they stay together long enough.
The challenge is that this relationship can be a flash in the pan. What starts off really well can quickly fizzle out into an argumentative relationship where each dilutes their energy in so many different directions that they fail to develop a bond.
It’s highly likely that family life or having children is not for both of them, and there may be some conflict over family issues or differences between family members that don’t get on.
The rebelliousness that attracts them to each other can also lead to a lack of cohesion and compatibility, and they may end up finding little common ground and growing apart.
Final Verdict
This relationship has a 50% chance of being successful. There are definitely loads of positives, opportunities, and much to be gained through them associating with each other, but over time, the commitment and the ability to weather the storms is often lacking.
The relationship can be a little bit brittle during tough times. Their strong personalities and independent spirits can also make it hard to adjust to family life, responsibility, routine, and long-term planning. Aquarius may also feel that the relationship doesn’t offer enough validation for them, and Aries in turn also feels a little bit neglected. So, both partners often don’t fulfill each other emotionally, which is why it only gets a 50% rating.
As always, there are other key factors in the horoscope relationship chart. For example, synastry between the respective Moon and Ascendant signs, which are based on the day, time, and place of birth, will have a bearing on the relationship outcome. The interaction between their Venus and Mars will tell us a lot more about sexual compatibility and attraction.
Second decan Aries is the best match for Aquarius. Third decan Aquarius is the best match for first decan Aries.
