Aries and Aquarius compatibility
The first one through the door and the one who built a different door.
Aries: March 21 – April 19. Aquarius: January 20 – February 18.
Are Aries and Aquarius a good match?
Tradition calls it a good match, with one warning: it is so pleasant that the real conversation can wait for years.
I will not hand you a percentage. A number like that is invented, and a Sun sign is one line of a long letter. Two people of any signs can love each other well.
What draws you together
You are both unwilling to live by other people's rules, and that recognition comes quickly. Aquarius gives Aries ideas worth fighting for, and Aries gives Aquarius a body to go with all those convictions.
The hard part
Aries wants a reaction. Aquarius, when pressed, goes cool and far away. Heat meeting distance can feel to both of you like a personal insult.
How your signs sit on the wheel
You sit two signs apart, a sixty-degree angle astrologers call a sextile. The tradition counts this as friendly: your elements feed each other without either having to become the other. The door is open, but it asks to be walked through.
Air feeds fire. One of you brings the spark and the other brings the breath, and together you tend to feel more alive than you do apart.
One of you starts things and the other keeps them. That is a working partnership, as long as neither mistakes it for a contest of wills.
What each of you is really asking
Aries is asking: Will you still want me when I stop running at you? Aries brings nerve and fears being slowed down until the fire goes out.
Aquarius is asking: Can I belong to you and still belong to myself? Aquarius brings honest strangeness and fears being absorbed.
The desire under the question
Aries is asking if it can get through to you. Aquarius is asking if it can be close to someone and still keep its own mind.
