Libra and Aquarius

Let me love you one more time, feel your heartbeat close to mine.

Here we have a very romantic and promising liaison between two air signs, but is it a dangerous liaison, or is it something that will lead to a fulfilling relationship? Well, let’s unpack the details. 

In Libra, we have a cardinal air sign, and Aquarius is a fixed air sign. Two air signs are drawn to one another; they communicate well and it’s a vibrant friendship. The relationship feels kind of exciting, and there’s a lot of energy being generated. There’s certainly enough fuel to get this relationship off the ground, and it’s inevitable that they will begin dating, socializing together, and thinking about the future.

However, could this cosmic relationship run out of steam? What’s going to happen long-term? Well, Aquarius is a fixed sign, and Libra, being ruled by Venus, has, similar to Aquarius, a fairly mature attitude to relationships. Libra wants to be in a happy, harmonious relationship, and since they get on so well with Aquarius and find them a reasonable sign who communicates well, Libra has a lot of confidence in this relationship going forward. 

Now, Aquarius has two rulers, Uranus and Saturn, and Saturn is exalted in Libra, which means Aquarius feels reassured by being with a Libran. Aquarius feels loved, accepted, and therefore both have a lot of confidence that the relationship will deliver results, and they’re prepared to invest in it. 

As a fixed air sign, Aquarius can lack confidence, but Libra, being a very determined cardinal sign, is a good initiator, so they can bring a lot more excitement and momentum into the life of Aquarius, which is much welcomed. 

This astrology star sign combination has a 70% chance of being successful. 

Romantic Compatibility 

Libra, although a Venus sign, are not quite as laid back as Taurus. Libra have a serious side; they really work hard and sometimes struggle to trust and relax in a relationship. Libra suffer from a lot of inner doubt, they’re always weighing up options, and it’s easy for them to be dissuaded out of romance.

When it comes to Aquarius, Libra has a great deal of confidence that the Aquarius won’t let them down, and that Aquarius is going to provide both the honesty and affection that Libra craves in a relationship. The Aquarius seems fairly well put together and also has a slight quirky eccentricity to their character, which means it’s not too boring, because Libra can get very bored in romance.

It’s actually quite hard to keep up with Libra, but Aquarius, naturally being open-minded and bohemian, is able to pique Libra’s interest. We also have two zodiac signs that are very tolerant and quite liberal in their approach to life, thus there aren’t many aspects of their character that jar. 

When it comes to Aquarius, one of their love languages in terms of romance is someone who’s free, perky, versatile, and communicative and Libra is certainly a sign with an intellectual edge. These are two star signs who want to learn and expand their knowledge together, pursuing a wide range of interests, which makes it romantically quite exciting. 

One of the things that can be lacking in romance is a little bit of warmth and passion. This is not really a chemically attracted, passionate romance; it’s more of a friendly, fun, and spontaneous romance. 

Sexual Compatibility between Libra and Aquarius 

As I have just explained, this zodiac match is not particularly hot. A relationship between two air signs is generally not one that is very intense, dramatic, or deeply emotional. Now, because Aquarius is quite a romantic sign for whom affection and romance are important elements, and with Libra being a Venus-ruled sign, there’s certainly a great deal of affection, playfulness, and mutual respect that can make them feel loved and they also tend to admire each other.

However, this doesn’t necessarily translate to excitement in the bedroom. When it comes to love, Libra wants to feel totally comfortable and they need to feel cherished. They like to be pampered and prefer their sexual experience to feel really luxurious, like getting into a warm bath, as they don’t like anything that is jarring or confusing. Libra need to feel totally calm and blissful to get in the mood sexually, and they can be very put off if there have been any arguments or difficulties during the day. So, foreplay is very, very important. 

Aquarius often craves a little bit of drama to get them in the mood. Sometimes Aquarius can be highly controversial; they like to test partners and provoke them to see if they get a passionate or animated response, and this is really not going to work with Libra at all. Libra hate to be provoked. 

Aquarius also wants someone who is fiery, brings leadership, and a little bit of drama to the bedroom. They like larger-than-life characters who can almost play-act and be very theatrical, but Libra don’t have time for that. They’re a little bit lazy, actually, Libra really can’t be bothered with all that jazz. So, it may be the case that they’re not really ticking each other’s boxes sexually. 

Friendship Factor Between Libra and Aquarius

These zodiac signs are both fairly sensible, mature, and open-minded. They are unlikely to clash very often in terms of ideas, and even when they do disagree, they’re both quite happy to see both sides of the story. They’re tolerant, compromising, and happy to work well as a team.

This is not a cosmic couple that likes to dominate each other’s time, they both like to go off and pursue their own interests. There’s quite a lot of freedom within this relationship, which is great for a friendship because they’re not controlling. 

There are times when Aquarius is frustrated because Libra, being a dual sign, toys with different options and sometimes is not good at giving Aquarius the definite answers and reassurance they want. Alternatively, Libra may find Aquarius is not bold enough, they want someone who’s a stronger leader, who goes out there, makes things happen, and is a bit more daring. Aquarius, though eccentric, is not really a pioneering sign, and Libra wants to see a little bit more of that pugnacity in a mate. 

Aquarius can’t help being a disrupter as they have that controversial side to their character and they always test partners, and this doesn’t go down well with harmony seeking Libra. In general, it’s a good friendship, but they certainly need space from each other – frequently! 

Marriage and Long-Term Potential 

This astrology relationship has many areas of strength, particularly because both the Aquarian and Libran characters are keen to be in a relationship. They’re looking to fall in love and believe in love and romance, and that’s a big deal. 

Both these star signs love the idea of finding someone special, settling down, and having a long, stable relationship. Although Aquarius is ruled by Uranus, the planet of rebellion, that’s only one side of their character. The other side seeks to be with someone who will love, accept, and bring emotional security, which Libra is capable of providing.

Now, Libra likes to settle down, but despite wanting to be in a relationship and enjoying teamwork, they are a very independent-spirited star sign. They need someone who respects that independence and won’t ever try to tie them down, Aquarius can accommodate that. 

Libra can be a lot more ambitious than Aquarius, which is great, because they can help Aquarius achieve many of their dreams and give them more confidence in their abilities. Aquarius has that little spark of genius, the unorthodox ideas that keep Libra excited and guessing, and while Libra is fairly open-minded, Aquarius can help them take that to the next level. 

However, where this zodiac match can be difficult is that Aquarius can sometimes be arrogant, extremely stubborn, pig-headed, and enjoys stoking controversy. The more Aquarius feels anxious, the more likely they are to do these things, particularly if they feel the relationship isn’t on track. 

Libra can be quite cold, critical, judgmental, and a bit of a slave driver, and Aquarius is extremely sensitive to being judged or criticized. 

Libra wants to promote harmony, and they don’t like the more disruptive aspects of Aquarius’ personality. Sometimes Aquarius does things just to be a little out there or controversial, and this is unsettling for Libra. 

There are aspects of each personality that can damage the relationship, which is why they definitely need space from each other, to express those particular traits elsewhere. 

This sun sign combination can be high on pragmatism, responsibility, and sincerity, but low on empathy. They may never end up sharing their deepest emotions, partly because there’s no time, and partly because it’s not a priority. 

Strengths and Challenges of the Relationship 

This is an astrology match between two reasonable, wise, and cooperative star signs who respect and admire each other. It can be vibrant and filled with interesting activities and romance, but it may not be the most loving or deeply emotional connection. 

This is a very tolerant partnership that fosters growth within both of them. Communication tends to flow easily, and they rarely want to possess or control each other. They’re likely to be cheerleaders and supporters for each other, bringing mutual confidence.

Libra gives Aquarius the unconditional love they so much desire, while Aquarius gives Libra permission to be a little more daring and eccentric. Together, they have a spontaneous romantic life. 

This can be a cosmic match that works well long-distance, between same-sex couples, or couples with an age gap. It also suits those getting together after previous relationships, or those prioritizing travel and career over family life. 

One downside is that Aquarius can have an edgy, stubborn streak, they can suddenly change dramatically, becoming unpredictable, which is discombobulating for Libra. Aquarius may also find Libra is not self-expressive enough. Libra tends to be emotionally self-sufficient, while Aquarius craves visible passion and flair to feel sexually connected. 

The sexual side of this zodiac relationship isn’t one of its big pluses. While the romance is exciting and fulfilling, they don’t always understand each other’s deeper desires, and because there isn’t much emotional depth, they may never feel safe enough to express their true needs, or they may simply not care to. 

Both star signs have a stubborn streak and can be a little superior or high-handed. Libra can be judgmental, Aquarius can be cold and aloof, and so there’s always the possibility that they’ll spend more and more time apart, until they’ve drifted so far that the connection fades before they even realize it. 

Final Verdict 

This is a very promising mix of two air signs who have a lot of intellectual energy, a reasonable approach to life, and who enjoy communicating, problem-solving, and living freely. There’s not much of a problem with communication, friendship, or even romance, which are all exciting as they stimulate each other in so many ways.

However, there are challenges when it comes to sexual satisfaction and deeper emotional empathy. These signs may neglect each other, and because they need space and independence, they can end up drifting apart over time if they don’t nurture their bond. 

The big lesson here is that both must keep working at it. It’s so good at the beginning that they may coast along and fail to appreciate what they have. They need to keep putting in hard work and focus on building emotional understanding. 

Overall, this relationship has a 70% chance of being successful. It’s even better when third-decan Libra is with third-decan Aquarius. It also helps if one has a water Moon or an earth Ascendant. 

Any star sign match is, of course, modified greatly by the Ascendant, Moon, and Venus signs — which will give more bearing on affectionate, sexual, and spiritual compatibility.
