There were moments of gold
And there were flashes of light
There were things I’d never do again
But then they’d always seemed right.
The star signs of Pisces and Aquarius are next door neighbours in the zodiac, and despite them having a different element and modality, there’s more in common than one might first think. As these are two dreamers; two star signs that live on inspiration and prefer a slightly unconventional, non-materialistic approach to life, their needs are slightly unusual. Their way of dealing with life is unorthodox, and they both have quite a sensitive nature, which they conceal through a rather changeable and adventurous mask that they wear to the world. Aquarius are fixed air and Pisces are mutable water, and I feel that together they can actually be a hurricane of excitement.
Both zodiac signs will have high expectations of the relationship, and both feel that the other is a rather inspiring character, someone that’s not going to tie them down, but someone who will open doors for them.
As Aquarius is a fixed sign, they are consistent in their emotions, they are very giving in relationships, and they are seeking to find a soulmate, someone with whom they can have a meaningful relationship, and Pisces really responds to that. Pisces want to feel protected, and with a fixed sign they feel they have that anchor.
Pisces are drawn to zodiac signs who communicate, who have intelligence, and who deal with their emotions rationally, and as an air sign Aquarius does that. What Aquarius really likes about water signs is their intuitive approach, as they sense that they can be nurtured and understood by these signs without having to spell things out in words of one syllable, and that really speeds things up.
Often, relationships with Aquarius can be very slow initially because they don’t want to reveal too much of themselves, but Pisces innately understands their character, so Aquarius quickly responds to Pisces. What’s more, because Pisces are fairly easygoing and non-judgmental, Aquarius feels safe.
So the relationship is certainly off to a great start, and I believe this relationship has a 70% chance of being successful.
Romantic Compatibility
There is certainly affection and a degree of physical chemistry between these star signs. Aquarius is ruled by Uranus and Pisces ruled by Neptune, so there is something unpredictable, ill-defined, or perhaps even nebulous about this couple.
Both Uranus and Neptune are planets that are conceptual, rather inspirational and quite esoteric. They are very unpredictable, and when these two planets come together with Aquarius and Pisces, the relationship has endless possibilities. Pisces and Aquarius are signs who can be many things to many different people. They have open minds about what romance can mean, and yet they are both fairly tender-hearted people who are craving a companion who will totally accept and understand them without controlling or suffocating them.
So they both have a pressing need to be understood while maintaining their independence. They crave a consistently supportive relationship while having a partner who understands their need to reflect, to ponder, and to be in their own headspace.
They certainly enjoy traveling together, or even going on spiritual pursuits or touring sacred sites together. They might like doing things like meditation and also exploring their subconscious.
This is also a cosmic couple who will love to hang out with large groups of people, and in youth they might enjoy backpacking around the world. Romance can encompass many different experiences to these two star signs and it’s basically about being open to anything and everything.
Sexual Compatibility
When it comes to sex, these zodiac signs are eager. They both enjoy the sexual experience as a way of escaping, opening up the channels to higher awareness, and also learning to love. Both need sex to relax and to allow the emotions to flow freely. They are fairly giving and experimental in the sexual arena.
Aquarius likes to learn when it comes to sex; they enjoy a partner who can be quite flexible and who’s also ready to ring the changes, because they can get bored of predictable sex. Pisces certainly are able to pique their curiosity and to engage Aquarius both visually and emotionally.
As Pisces are a mystery, Aquarius is always wondering what’s next, and that’s key to keeping them in the hunt when it comes to sex. Pisces love to be with a fairly thoughtful sun sign; they love the fact that Aquarius is a little bit of a ponderer, a philosopher, someone who navigates their life with reason. They also like the fact that Aquarius are fairly balanced and unflappable. They always seem to have a reliable and calm approach to life, and this really relaxes Pisces because Pisces don’t like to be with people who are easily angered or too aggressive in the bedroom, and Aquarius certainly aren’t.
They both have the tools to relax and soothe each other in the bedroom, and then they feel they can take it even further, so things won’t get boring. The bedroom is quite an exciting aspect of the relationship.
Friendship Between Pisces and Aquarius
These two zodiac signs enjoy being mellow together; they’re fond of chilling, relaxing, and also having some inspiring conversations. Where their friendship is strong is that they will introduce each other to many different activities and ways of thinking, and they’re both fairly receptive to finding new hobbies or spheres of interest. So a big part of the relationship is having little adventures together and expanding themselves through their union.
They’re not the sort of friends who necessarily want to hang out with each other’s friends all the time; sometimes they just like to see where the mood takes them and be spontaneous. They believe that the best things in life are free, and the best things in life are also unplanned, and often having random experiences with groups of strangers or traveling in a large tour group can provide a great sense of excitement and stimulation.
This zodiac pair love being involved in things that are happening in society, and they might like to get involved in causes, whether it be political or humanitarian, because they are drawn to grand themes. They both want to feel part of something that’s bigger than themselves, and that’s a super part of their friendship: doing something that’s not about them, but about making a difference.
Marriage and Long-Term Potential
Marriage between these two zodiac signs has long-term potential, but I feel that there is a barrier when it comes to them wanting to walk down the aisle. For Aquarius, I think it is a simpler matter: they will begin to feel emotionally attached to Pisces, they will enjoy many elements of the relationship, and they will feel comfortable enough to make a go of it.
For Pisces, however, there are a lot of doubts. They are not sure that they understand Aquarius well enough to commit. They’re not really disturbed by the fact that Aquarius can be unpredictable, and they don’t even mind that Aquarians can sometimes be a little bit cool and aloof, because Pisces enjoy the space. However, what bothers them is that Aquarius doesn’t plan, rationalize, or communicate in a way that is reassuring for Pisces. Pisces feel that there are too many unknowns, and it makes them reticent.
One of the problems for Aquarius is that Pisces aren’t really demonstrative. Pisces are very easygoing, but at the same time Aquarius feels that they don’t understand what Pisces really want, and they prefer a partner who wears their heart on their sleeve, whereas Pisces is a chameleon who adapts. However, that adaptability doesn’t adequately reassure Aquarius that Pisces are particularly happy with them, and Aquarius may have some idea that Pisces thinks the grass is greener elsewhere – and you know, that might be true.
So both of them have nagging doubts that can mean they are more defensive and uncomfortable in this relationship.
A marriage between these two zodiac signs can be very successful; it can be quite prosperous, and it can be one that works very well for couples who have a lot of other difficulties to overcome, for example, trauma from previous relationships, ghosts of relationships past, or children from another marriage. So the problems that could derail other relationships won’t derail this relationship, but there’s a lot of doubt that is difficult to get over, making them think twice about marriage.
Strengths and Challenges of the Relationship
Both these star signs are idealistic and want to live life with inspiration. They want to embrace as many different experiences as possible and are unlikely to limit each other. They also are less likely to be judgmental, and they will be fascinated by the ways in which they are so different as they share a need to explore. These two signs have a soft centre, a vulnerable core, and Aquarius will tend to feel satiated in this relationship, as they believe Pisces give them unconditional love.
Pisces really appreciate the fact that Aquarius is not a Sun sign who wants life to fall into conventional patterns. Pisces enjoy that because they embrace irregular routines and often careers that have unsociable hours or a lot of travel, and that’s often challenging for a relationship, but Aquarius adapts to that quite easily.
Both signs are tolerant and loving. They aspire to the highest ideals of love, and they want to fall in love and find a soulmate. When they get together, they will tend to think that they have found “the one,” and there’s a special spiritual connection, and very often there is an unspoken understanding that is otherworldly and which transcends regular relationship wisdom.
One of the downfalls of this zodiac match is: what if the relationship gets going and then stalls? The big question becomes which of them is going to get it going again? Because if things go bad, both of them may just go into retreat mode, and neither may take the initiative to restore communication. Thus if they do end up having a drama or an unpleasantness between them, neither may want to make the first move to make amends.
In the short term, neither will be very forgiving, because when people are idealistic about relationships, they take the rough patches too much to heart and may feel more hurt than is reasonable. In some cases, this relationship can suffer a mid term slump; they may both get wildly excited, open up too much, and then regret it. After a great start, they suddenly get cold feet and have some regrets that they’ve become too exposed and may want to take a few steps back. That means that the relationship can have a very fast, positive and promising start, but can then go into reverse. As with the second point, it’ll take a little while to get back to where they were.
So it’s very important they manage expectations, because unrealistic expectations can be the undoing in this cosmic.
These star signs could both lack pragmatism and realism. They can sometimes spend too much time thinking about the bigger picture and may neglect the details of their life. At some point, one or both of them have to think about the bills, the day-to-day routines, and making arrangements for the running of their lives. During the dating phase, they don’t really encounter those problems because there’s a lot of going out and it’s carefree, but when they’re older and when there are lots of responsibilities, both of them tend to be ostriches with their heads in the sand, and neither really takes responsibility. Therefore this relationship can end up being a hot mess.
Final Verdict
This can be a glorious astrology combination that can help both to lose control, to drift off into their romantic imaginations, and to fly away with each other to another world.
This relationship helps both to escape; it can be a spiritual experience where they capture an energy within each other that they’ve never felt before. They are both zodiac signs that have a desire to not only see the bigger picture but to live life on an elevated level. They could even be a couple that are highly spiritually developed or who enjoy following the road untrodden together.
One of the things they often enjoy is traveling extensively around the world, experiencing different cultures, as both of them are restless and are constantly looking for different experiences to expand their minds and help them extend their awareness.
They are also people who like to be involved in causes or events that are more significant than themselves and where they experience a universal vibe that connects them to a higher purpose. So there is something seeking, philosophical, and esoteric about these two Sun signs which can make their love a very rewarding experience. They could also be a little bit quirky and eccentric as a couple. Neither are necessarily everyone’s cup of tea.
They don’t always cooperate well because their values and styles of communication are very different, and they don’t truly understand each other. There’s also lingering doubts that they each harbor about each other’s true feelings, and while at times everything feels blissful, at other times the doubts can loom, making them both feel insecure, and in that way the match can make them both a little nervous.
These signs are very bad at dealing with details, they don’t like routines, and they suit each other in that way, as neither is a hard taskmaster. However, the relationship suffers from unrealistic expectations, poor planning and a lack of strategy, which means it could all fall apart at the seams.
So this astrology relationship really needs one of them to have an earth or Libra Moon and perhaps an Aries rising or some Capricorn placements just so that it brings everything down to earth and the whole scenario can be contained and completed rather than being like a runaway train.
This is better when second-decan Aquarius is with Pisces and third-decan Pisces is with Aquarius.
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.
