I am Aquarius, My Lover is Aries

I am Aquarius, My Lover is Aries

Aries are clever, enthusiastic, and sparkling with new ideas--a sure hit with Aquarius. Since Aries are always starting new ventures, they're never clinging vines, something you appreciate in a lover. You're an air sign and Aries is fire, so the pairing of your two signs produces terrific energy. Both of you value honesty and open communication, something that will keep your relationship going over the long haul.

In bed, your Aries is confident, inventive, and not intensely emotional (and neither are you). Nor is either of you possessive or prone to jealousy. Since you are ruled by the innovative planet Uranus, you value spontaneity and innovation, and will greatly enjoy the sparks that can fly between you and your Aries lover!

If you love an Aries, continue. Life will be fun, that's for sure. You value objectivity and rationality in matters of the heart, so you will find great compatibility with your Aries lover.

I am Aquarius, My Lover is Taurus

I am Aquarius, My Lover is Taurus

This is not an easy match, unless you have some extra earth signs in your horoscope to compensate. Both Taurus and Aquarius are fixed signs, a tough combination because neither of you is likely to budge from your position. Pure stubbornness could kill your union.

There are other difficulties: Sexually, Taurus is a very tactile sign that needs reassurance and frequent demonstrations of love, whereas you don't need lots of affectionate displays. Taurus are creatures of comfort -- sensuous and deeply sexual in orientation -- and although you enjoy sex, it isn't the be-all and end-all of your life. After the initial passion of your relationship cools off, you could feel your Taurus demands too much from you. Taurus are also prone to being possessive, something you don't appreciate because you value your space. You have your projects, your experiments, and your goals, and you may find a Taurus won't understand your focus on the world outside of this relationship. Passive resistance is a Bull's specialty, and this could put more pressure on your relationship when your Taurus finds no other way to get your attention.

Though Taurus' strong practicality, reliability, and steadfastness may have been what drew you to one another initially, these qualities may not continue to impress you later on. You may find life with a Taurus boring. Taurus have a strong conservative streak, and you -- a true futurist -- are just the opposite. In politics, you may not see eye to eye.

Furthermore, your lover may not understand your desire to innovate and your conceptual take on issues; Taurus don't spend time analyzing things like you do. In terms of lifestyle, Taurus like to stay home and surround themselves with all kinds of comforts, while you need to go out and get stimulated by the big, bad world.

If you love a Taurus, it is obvious that you have come to enjoy the very best Taurus traits. In turn, your lover has apparently learned to enjoy and encourage your individuality, your liberal views, and your need to help others. It has been said that Aquarius belong to the world, not to one person; his or her role is to lead others and light the path to a better society. If your relationship is working, apparently you have found that rare Taurus that will push you to reach for the stars, even if it means giving up some time with them.

I am Aquarius, My Lover is Gemini

I am Aquarius, My Lover is Gemini

This sparkling, zany paring could not get any better. Both of you are intellectual air signs, so conversation, good books, travel, jokes, parties, a rich social life, and a host of other activities are sure to spice up your time together. Ask an Aquarius why he or she married a Gemini and the answer is quick and easy: 'For fun!' Good answer. One wise psychologist said more couples should forget all reasons to get married except one: In the end, is your time together fun? This psychologist would approve of you and your Gemini!

Communication between you two is so superb that it knocks you out, and you both often need to scoot out of town together to chill out. Both of you have quick minds and are fast-paced thinkers -- others sometimes have trouble keeping up with you! You have many friends that you enjoy introducing to your sweetheart, and thus, your circle of friends and acquaintances will widen considerably with this union. But you'll be best friends, too.

In bed, you'll adore the playful, inventive qualities of Gemini; their penchant for talking dirty in your most intimate moments will drive you wild. An open relationship might appeal to you, but be careful -- one of you could get hurt, much to the surprise of both. Gemini is up-to-the-minute on trends, but too liberal a sexual situation is probably not a good idea for either of you. Neither of you is deeply sentimental (unless a water sign is placed strikingly in one your charts), so you don't need nights of moonlight and roses to get in the mood. But remember to schedule a few enchanted evenings anyway, just for the thrill of it!

Your relationship has the promise of a four-star, solid gold union, so hold on to one another. The trust you share, your mutual respect, and your enjoyment of being together can stand the test of time.

I am Aquarius, My Lover is Cancer

I am Aquarius, My Lover is Cancer

Can Cancer, an emotional water sign, find true love with Aquarius, a rational, objective air sign? Not easily. You will find Cancer's need to stay at home difficult. Long after they have attended to their children's needs, they want to lavish even more time on family, and this could drive you to distraction. Just one more Sunday with your in-laws and you'll scream! Cancers will want to know why you aren't more interested in maintaining your roots and you will ask why they're so attached to the past.

Cancers need lots of attention -- something you don't often have time to give -- for your sign usually directs your energy out toward the world at large. If you love a Cancer, direct it outward to the world during the day, but save quality time for your tender Cancer in the evenings. They will honor you with their fidelity and will nurture you tenderly and compassionately. They will also cook you amazing dinners, create and maintain all kinds of fun family traditions, and provide you with the old-fashioned kind of home life you didn't think still existed. Be careful, because your unsentimental nature is very different from your romantic partner's, and you could unconsciously hurt your Cancer's feelings. The hardest part of this relationship is maybe having him or her plead with you to spend more time at home.

If you want this union to last, you will have to work at it. Your sensibilities are quite different, but if you want it to happen, it will!

I am Aquarius, My Lover is Leo

I am Aquarius, My Lover is Leo

Leo is 180 degrees away from Aquarius in the zodiac, indicating that you two will either snap together like two jigsaw puzzle pieces or else kill each other. There is no in-between! My bet is you will find an ideal mate with Leo. Fire sign Leos like the air element you provide to the relationship, for it makes their fire burn brighter. You like Leo's attachment to luxury and culture, even though you wouldn't indulge nearly as much on yourself if you were left to your own devices.

Leo's generosity and sense of fun is good for you both, and your partner admires your strong intellectual logic. One problem is that you are both fixed signs. This may mean that if you hold opposing views, you may attempt to stare each other down and wind up at an impasse. Unless one of you develops some flexibility, this ride together could go nowhere.

Leo's are rather patrician, and think of themselves as having attained some sort of social status that maybe they haven't quite earned. Social classes and snobbery drive democratic Aquarius up the wall, so if this gets out of control, it could be something that has to be discussed honestly. You march to a different drummer, and approval from others is something you have never needed. Understand, though, that Leos need respect and admiration from others nearly as much as they need oxygen. Leos will never be able to give this up, so don't even try to change them. All you can do is try to keep their expectations realistic -- with your objective point of view this shouldn't be too hard.

Leos' egos are strong, and they will need lots of attention from you, which could be another problem. It is not that you have a big ego too -- you don't -- but it's the time that it takes to cater to their needs that could be troublesome. You lose yourself in your projects for extended periods, much to your partner's dismay.

Sexually, your Leo is expressive and warm, bringing all kinds of luxuries into the bedroom to coax you into the mood, using fragrant flowers and the best champagne. Your Leo has a playful, dramatic style, which will be fun. Be aware, however, that your need to be a bit aloof will not sit well with a Leo. Leos feel that passion is one of the best parts of life, and they expect not only your presence but your enthusiastic participation, too. Here you may benefit from your association, for Leos are right. Sometimes you are a tad too serious and work-obsessed!

You both have an adventurous view of the world, so things could be good between you, despite a few bumps along the way. If you can dream it, you can make it happen. Do some creative fantasizing, Aquarius!

I am Aquarius, My Lover is Virgo

I am Aquarius, My Lover is Virgo

Virgo is precise and orderly, but Aquarius is quite comfortable in semi-chaos. Your sign rules genius and creativity, but in the creative process there is waste and discord. This can be hard for your lover to accept.

The hardest part of the Aquarius/Virgo union is that it lacks romantic abandon and sexual passion, from both your side and theirs. Virgo is ruled by cerebral, objective Mercury, and you are ruled by objective, idiosyncratic Uranus. You are an air sign and Virgo is earth, so while you may initially like their practical, "rooted" point of view, it is doubtful that this will continue throughout the years. Luckily, Virgo will not demand too much time from you, for they are busy people too -- Virgo is the original workaholic. You will appreciate their industriousness, but they won't understand your need to shock, upstage, or otherwise assert your idiosyncratic streak. Virgos are fairly conservative and need some level of social approval.

The success potential here is a really tough call, but like any other relationship, you can make it work if you give it an honest try. Perhaps you both have other planets in your charts that will make your relationship sparkle, which could be the case. Virgo admires Aquarius' service to the community, their mastery of highly technical subjects, their vision of the future, and their charismatic leadership style. In turn, Aquarius respects Virgo's no-nonsense, practical outlook and productivity. Virgo is more flexible than you are -- they roll with the punches more readily. Your Virgo lover could help you keep track of all the details so that almost nothing slips between the cracks. When couples are busy, one of the partner's organizational ability can be a great asset. If you develop a measure of fame in your life, Virgo would be your ideal behind-the-scenes manager (where they are happiest) in order to organize your schedule, meet with accountants, negotiate the finer points of your contract, set a realistic budget, traffic your orders, and suggest ways in which you can fix the flaws in your plan. Don't underestimate the power of having a Virgo on your side.

Take your time if you are dating a Virgo, and make sure you like the fit. If none of the down sides of this relationship seem to apply, you apparently have planets in your charts that override this Sun sign outlook. In that case, move forward with confidence!

I am Aquarius, My Lover is Libra

I am Aquarius, My Lover is Libra

This is a sassy, exciting pairing of two similar souls, sure to be a hit. You both enjoy lots of social activity, and neither would expect the other to wait at home in the traditional sense. In fact, ordering dinner in several times a week will be the only way to handle the busy schedule you both lead! Your coupling is thoroughly modern.

But even the best relationship demands that the partners accommodate each other. In your case, be mindful that Libras care about social acceptance, while you don't give a fig about it. Ruled by idiosyncratic Uranus, Aquarius' job in life is to press forward and to make all kinds of new discoveries. In doing so, you will run up against the Establishment at times. This frightens Libra, for this Venus-ruled sign's job is to bring opposing forces together. They want to be popular and will go out of their way to bring harmony to relationships. You can see how your roles differ; in many ways, Aquarius is a sign of extremes. Libra's friends are likely to be in the arts, yours in the sciences; nevertheless, your friends mix well. And Libras entertain beautifully, so your parties would be much-talked-about affairs!

Libras like to be married, but Aquarius like space and freedom; commitment doesn't come quickly or easily. Sexually, you link up in a heavenly way, with plenty of fun, wit and experimentation. You will enjoy Libra's use of perfume or cologne (female or male, this sign is a fragrance wizard) and their refined, cultured personal style. Libra takes good care of their physical appearance well into old age. Your Libra will enjoy your quixotic and playful approach to sex.

Your Libra is the romantic of the two of you, so let him or her take the lead for some starlit evenings. Physically, you are on the same plane, but you aren't as emotional as a Scorpio, a Pisces, or a Cancer. However, your Sun sign lights up Libra's house of true love, so the bond remains very strong here, even though to the outside world you may appear to have a cool, detached, and analytical relationship. Your Libra lights up your house of deep philosophical thought and distant travel.

This match gets a four-star rating. If things go wrong, it isn't because you aren't suited to one another. Both of you are air signs -- like-elements get along great together. In your case, you both know how to communicate clearly, objectively, and you share an overriding quest for truth. You will have a rich, busy, and noisy life together. Sounds like fun!

I am Aquarius, My Lover is Scorpio

I am Aquarius, My Lover is Scorpio

This is not an easy match at all -- you are so fundamentally different. Aquarius have lots of friends but use a light touch with all relationships and need plenty of space. Scorpios need privacy and have a few friends with whom they share intense emotional loyalty and devotion. You two come at life from different directions. Aquarius says to Scorpio, "Why do you need to get inside my head so deeply?" You need some detachment, because you feel safer that way. To get too close is to get dependent, or to lose some of your sense of self. Scorpio says to Aquarius, "Why can't you let down your guard? Why can't you get in touch with your deepest emotions and allow yourself to be vulnerable with me?" You probably fell in love with Scorpio's mystery and their incredible emotional depth (even if you can't begin to match it).

Scorpio lights up your solar house of fame, so your Scorpio lover will be very good for your career; they have shrewd advice for you, since they are highly instinctive. Because they are so smart financially, they can give you solid advice in these matters, too. When you are going into any kind of negotiation, ask your Scorpio for help; here again, they know exactly what to do. If you fell in love with your agent, manager, or other advisor who helped you become successful, he or she might be a Scorpio. Marriage is different, however, for you must both be able to reach the same emotional base.

Sexually, Scorpio will want to experience the kind of passion operas are written about, but you aren't always sure you can scale those Wagnerian heights. It may seem like so much work that you get bewildered by Scorpio's expectations. Scorpio could find you too cool and detached, or worse, discover you're thinking about other things right when he or she wants you to be focused on lovemaking! Scorpios are also quite possessive and sometimes jealous, and you've got plenty of friends of both sexes. As long as your Scorpio doesn't feel threatened, this should be okay with them.

I have seen incompatible signs link up beautifully, as long as both parties are aware of what the other expects and needs. Ask your partner what he or she wants most, and listen closely. This is one relationship you are going to have to work hard at.

I am Aquarius, My Lover is Sagittarius

I am Aquarius, My Lover is Sagittarius

This is a juicy, sweet relationship, and it should get even better in time. Both of you share a bright, idealistic view of a world where anything is possible. You are concerned with social issues, new technology, and planning for the future, and your lover is oriented toward learning and the educational process. Sagittarius' role is to take the knowledge of mankind and make sense out of it. You are sure to have some lively debates with a Sagittarius! If you disagree, neither of you gets overly upset; you both respect individuality. Generally, you are the more fixed in your ways, while your Sagittarius is much more flexible -- boding well for your future together.

Sagittarius need to travel and you like your time alone too, so you may agree to take separate vacations at times. Careful: Out of sight could mean out of mind. Neither of you finds commitment appealing, so you might date casually for a long time before you decide to tie the knot. You'll both need assurance that you won't be sacrificing your independence.

Sexually, you are a near-perfect match. But hopefully, your Sagittarius partner won't be as honest about the less-than-ideal stuff in bed as he or she will invariably be about what's great ("Well, I've had better." Ugh!). Your lover is a fire sign and you are air, and therefore highly compatible, but the Sagittarius directness can be hard to take for any sign. They can be surprised at the taken-aback reactions to their open commentary. Your Sagittarius will respond that you wanted to know, didn't you, and will let you know exactly how he or she feels. The honesty-to-a-fault of Sagittarius takes getting used to. But you and your Sagittarius aren't the types to let your emotions run riot or hold grudges, so somehow you'll work things out.

Two signs apart in the zodiac form a "sextile," which is considered an opportunity aspect in astrology. This means your lover will help create opportunities for you to do things of value. Specifically, your Sagittarius lights up your house of friendship and social causes, so he or she could be a strong helpmate in an altruistic quest of yours. Certainly, your Sagittarius will bring you plenty of new contacts and a close friend or two. He or she may also urge you to become a member of certain organizations that ultimately turn out to be good for you.

Neither of you is domestic, so if you can hire help for weekly maintenance, do it early in your relationship. Someone has to be minding the store, and with your schedules, it can't be you or your partner! So if you are in love with a Sagittarius, press forward, Aquarius. You've got a good match here.

I am Aquarius, My Lover is Capricorn

I am Aquarius, My Lover is Capricorn

This match will work well only if you have some important water or earth planets somewhere in your chart. This is because your sign follows Capricorn in the zodiac. The sign that immediately follows another sign is very different in many ways, because it makes up for what the prior sign lacks. Capricorns ask Aquarius why they put so much emphasis on future planning. Capricorn rules history and the past, and so your lover enjoys old movies, browsing for antiques, and reflecting on the museum dinosaur collection. You, on the other hand, are anxious to get back to your web surfing, or over to your local electronics store to look at the new and faster computers. Capricorns would rather spend their money on a rare document or an old, valuable quilt; your orientations are very different.

Still, this does not doom the relationship as long as you enjoy your differences. You probably enjoy the fact that your lover is rooted in reality and is practical and hard working. Capricorns care about their reputations, but at times their social consciousness will irritate you. Aquarius don't try to keep up with the Joneses, but your lover might think your blase attitude isn't quite respectful. They will enjoy your freewheeling thinking, though (especially because it is so alien to them) and your experimental approach to life.

Capricorns are basically more materialistic than Aquarius, but this could be helpful to you, since your partner will have the patience to set up your retirement portfolio and make it grow. You may not see the need for all this now, but later in life you'll be happy for it. If your situation is such that the Capricorn depends on you to support him or her for a period of time (say, after your children are born), you could experience the most difficulty; your Capricorn is ambitious and will want to see progress in your career, both in status and salary. You are not entirely self-oriented -- your role is to work for the good of the organization -- and your plans tend to be long-term. So a Capricorn's influence could be good or bad, depending on how you feel about the input. Your lover may have to learn to live without immediate gratification from your career.

Sexually, earth signs like Capricorn are sensual and tactile. You are less so, so you will either get with the program or hear some complaints. Still, I think you will find ways to satisfy your partner, because you receive information and feedback so well. You're a good communicator, and you approach sex like anything else in your life -- as something that can be analyzed and improved. Aquarius is the sign of the objective scientist who draws up a hypothesis and then observes carefully, taking in data and finding out if the thesis can be proven. This approach may be too cool for Capricorn, who aches for you to show more animal passion!

We are all more than our Sun sign -- the stars suggest, but do not dictate, how we act. Love and understanding can override most problems, so know where the difficulties are (not always an easy task) and face them head-on. Use your magical power of communication, Aquarius. You can make this relationship work well if you try.

I am Aquarius, My Lover is Aquarius

I am Aquarius, My Lover is Aquarius

Wow! What a combination! Two very unique individuals paired off in love! If you have fallen for another Aquarius, it is because you see so much of yourself in him or her. I feel your natural respect for others winning here, and thus, this match has a strong chance for success.

Both of you have strong opinions and views on life, and both of you can be stubborn at times. But none of this seems to faze either of you. You and your lover want to hear a wide variety of views, and you value each other's analytical streak. Tolerance comes easily to you both.

You may decide to volunteer together for a worthy cause or political party, for both of you want to do something good for society. Whether it is getting the lead paint out of the local elementary school or campaigning for freedom of speech, neither of you can sit back and watch people (or the planet) suffer and decline. You both also feel strongly about human rights and are likely to be activists in this area as well. This pairing could create the kind of bond that sets the world on fire the way Evita and Juan Peron did.

Sexually, the only problem may be that you both are such good friends that passion could die down too quickly. You will have to keep fanning those fires to keep sex lively. Aquarius never hesitate to buy interesting new toys to liven things up (whereas other signs would be mortified to be seen, even by total strangers, walking into those shops), so use your lively, experimental attitude and you'll keep your lover enchanted.

In summary, your relationship rates an enthusiastic A+!

I am Aquarius, My Lover is Pisces

I am Aquarius, My Lover is Pisces

Signs that are next to one another in the zodiac are very different from one another, making up for what the previous one lacks. So be aware, your Pisces lover isn't anything like you, yet this could be the major reason you're attracted to him or her. How you fare is going to depend on you.

Pisces' capability for close relationships and their compassion with those around them may have led you to them. You both are sensitive to suffering, but you express it differently. Pisces will help others on a one-on-one basis, because they are more private people. You, on the other hand, might not spend the afternoon grocery shopping for an elderly neighbor, but you'll set up an organization to help all the elderly folks in town. You both have different approaches, but sensitivity is your common denominator.

You are likely to encounter turbulence with Pisces over your different levels of emotional intensity. Pisces gives all to the relationship, so if you get involved with your work and you don't call when you say you will, or you seem preoccupied, your Pisces will be upset.

Sex is important to Pisces too, but they want it to be a mystical experience -- a meeting of two souls. You may or may not be up to this expression, for your approach is more affectionate and recreational than spiritual. Equally important to Pisces are your expressions of praise, attention, reassurance, and general pride in him or her before you ever get them into bed. In case you think you can get away with faking your feelings, think again -- Pisces is a master of reading body language. If you aren't willing to give your partner what they crave, Pisces won't be in this relationship long. Pisces feel everyone has the right to ardent passion from their lover, not just once in a while but every time. This can be fantastic or dreadful news, depending on your personality. Be aware: They're not kidding.

But let's say you are more than willing to work with your partner to give them what they want most. You will have a loyal, caring partner who will encourage you every step of the way. You will be amazed how your Pisces seems to read what you're thinking -- many are downright psychic. Individuals who are lucky enough to have a Pisces behind them often scale heights of fame and fortune. Once a Pisces believes in you, there isn't anything he or she wouldn't do or sacrifice on your behalf.

If they are taken advantage of, Pisces will continue to stay, and give, for a while. Then suddenly, the Fish's self-preservation impulse kicks in, and at that point the Fish swims away, without warning, never to return. This sudden change is often the biggest shock for Aquarius. Although they generally expect the unexpected from life, there are no warning signals at all from a betrayed Pisces. Pisces does not like confrontation. Rather than fight, they leave. Be aware of this tendency and put your considerable skills of communication to good use before this happens.

Remember to be kind, gentle, and above all warm to your Pisces. The natural Aquarius coolness can be hurtful. This match is a draw -- win or lose, it's up to you!
