Aquarius and Pisces Compatibility

Aquarius Astral Profiles and Compatibilities

Aquarius is famous for its contradictory and apparently distant personality. Although this native prides itself on its independent spirit, it can be extremely stable in its relationships. Aquarius lives to excel and never turns its back on a good challenge, so it's not uncommon to see it succeed in relationships with seemingly incompatible signs.

Of all the signs of the Zodiac, Aquarius is most compatible with Libra, Sagittarius and Gemini. These signs appreciate the Aquarius character and don't make big emotional demands. Aquarius gets on beautifully with Libra, and balances Sagittarius and Gemini. Aquarius can develop a more conflicted relationship with the natives of Cancer, Virgo and Pisces. The personality differences between any of these signs and Aquarius are evident. Even if they find common points of interest, their relationship will hardly be peaceful and harmonious.

According to Astrology, the signs of the Zodiac that share the same energetic charge, the Primordial Element (Fire, Earth, Air, Water), energize each other, while signs of different Elements may have greater difficulty in relating to each other. Fire follows the motto “it is better to travel with hope than to arrive”; Earth prefers “arrival”; Air works “as a function of intellect and logic”; Water follows "the ebb and flow of the tide of feelings". Together, the four Elements represent opposites but also the complementarity of astrological archetypes.

Compatibility of Aquarius and Pisces

Aquarius is an Air sign, ruled by Saturn and Uranus (as co-running planet), and is constantly looking for new and interesting connections with various people. Pisces, a Water sign, is ruled by Neptune, the planet of the absence of borders, of the world of feelings, of escape, of letting go with the tide.

The difficulties between Aquarius and Pisces are less obvious than between Aquarius / Cancer or Aquarius / Virgo, but they are still difficult to resolve. Both Aquarius and Pisces tend to be regarded with some strangeness by society. It is in the nature of Aquarius not to seek to fit in or blend in with the crowd.

These natives insist on setting their own pace and defining how, when and how they want to get involved. Their concern is with the collective, but they never completely lose their autonomy or freedom of thought. This is not to say that they do not understand the expectations that others place on them, even when they choose to ignore them.

Pisces, on the other hand, tends to float above the material world. When the native of this sign does not fit into society, it is because it does not pay due attention to what is expected of it. The Pisces native is deeply spiritual and may have a great devotion to its faith. Like Cancer, Pisces is sensitive and emotional, and needs to establish deep and intense relationships to feel connected to the world and people.

Although the Aquarius and Pisces personalities can be considered intriguing when they meet, it can be difficult for both signs to find enough commonalities to sustain a long-term relationship. Aquarius is fully aware of social boundaries and conventions, but prefers to ignore them. 

There is an inflexibility in Aquarius that does not exist in Pisces. Also, Pisces is emotional and intuitive. Feels more than they think. It is guided by intuition. They are both attracted to the outside world and delve into their inner universe.

Aquarius, on the other hand, is rational and intellectual, and has difficulty understanding the Pisces way of thinking. For Aquarius, Pisces is a source of mystery. These postures are fundamental and are the basis of any type of relationship. The differences between the two can cause Pisces to see Aquarius as indifferent to deeper feelings, and Aquarius to consider Pisces excessively needy.

Pisces swims perfectly at ease in the midst of the irrational, lives in a reality that is beyond the palpable, lives in its stable and closed world. If Aquarius tries, it can learn a lot about the world of emotions from Pisces. This one has a fascinating personality and can reveal a magical world closed to others.

How the Air and Water Signs Relate to Each Other

The Air and Water combination can be problematic, as Water tries to show how it feels while Air spends hours explaining what he thinks. Thus, harmony between two natives of these Elements is uncertain and unlikely to occur.

Normally, Water does not have the swift spirit and cold methodology of Air, lacking the ability to recognize what is beyond appearances. When together, it is normal for these Elements to try to change each other, which does not always work. Water will always require more sensitivity and a more serious recognition of your feelings, and Air will try to urge Water to be less emotional and sentimental.

Water needs a partner with whom it can share its wealth of feelings, and rarely asks for a true response from Air, who has great difficulty in showing how it feels. Its psychological orientation simply does not allow it to understand the sentimental currents inherent in an intimate relationship.

Deep down, Water demands from Air something that it doesn't have, or that it can't handle easily: a genuine passion, commitment and depth. If the situation reaches this extreme, where each one demands changes from the other that are unlikely to happen, both end up distancing themselves. For this reason, a relationship between these two Elements will hardly work unless the feeling and complicity that can unite them is strong enough for both of them to invest in the relationship.

The Air Element and the Astral Personality

Air signs are, above all, mental and intellectual. Air is a master at relating concepts. The Air Element brings together the Wet characteristic that conveys a great mental flexibility, this flexibility in thinking about things and reflecting. They are all-encompassing personalities with a broad vision, unlike Earth Element people who tend to focus on the detail.

In relationships, the Air personality is sensitive and seductive and emphasizes intelligence. For natives of this Element, the best companions are those of the Earth sign. These teach them the means to realize their ideas which, without their help, would remain purely abstract.

The Water Element and the Astral Personality

The most obvious feature of the Water Element is sensitivity. Unlike the Fire Element signs, which represent activity and faith in “moving mountains”, the Water Element signs represent emotions, sensations, perception. Empathy, intuition, fantasy, dreams, affections, feelings are the field of action par excellence for this personality.

The Water signs are like sponges. When placed in a positive environment, where everything is fine, the person is fine and feels emotionally balanced. If, on the contrary, you live in a toxic environment, charged with negative energies, you feel bad and pessimistic.

A Cold and Wet Element, it is a personality that easily molds itself to people's opinions and to the characteristics of the environment. It collects various influences, but it fails to organize them and give them coherence. It is a whole made up of several loose parts that cannot be linked together.

Astrology and Compatibility Between Zodiac Signs

Affinities in relationships manifest themselves in a variety of ways and Astrology can give some clues about how the signs interact with each other. Astrology tells us that the greatest compatibilities arise when two people belong to the same astrological element, as they share the same vision of reality and have a similar way of being and living.

Likewise, the attraction between two opposite signs can be instantaneous and the relationship tends to be harmonious. However, this does not mean that there are no affinities between people belonging to signs of different elements. Where there is love, affection and understanding, life happens. How the relationship evolves depends on many factors, astrological profiles being just one of them.

Zodiac Signs Compatibility

This is a result of the astrological profiles of the signs that you chose based on the analysis of the compatibility between temperaments, energies and characteristics. This analysis is based on general data, being valid for all types of relationships, whether love, friendship or work.

A detailed and personalized study is only possible through a synastry report. Although the profiles of the signs allow us to deduce whether they are more or less compatible with each other, only through the birth chart is it possible to make a realistic interpretation and draw true conclusions.

Remember that relationships are influenced by multiple variables, astrological being just one of them. The force of will, commitment and free choice condition the way in which relationships can or cannot progress in a favourable way. Any relationship, regardless of the influence of the stars, can work as long as there is a desire for it to happen, on both sides.
