Aquarius in Love
January 20 – February 18
Dating style, long-term needs, and compatibility, straight from Aquarius's chart.
Aquarius Dating Style
Aquarius in love is best friends first and lovers second, and that order is non-negotiable. They want a partner who is also a co-conspirator on the bigger projects of life: the ideas, the causes, the strange shared interests, the late-night conversations about how the world should work. The romance grows out of the friendship, not the other way around.
What Aquarius Needs From a Partner
They are unusually good partners in the long run, because they value freedom for themselves and they extend the same freedom to the people they love. An Aquarius will not try to make you small. They will encourage your weirdest hobby, support your career detour, and defend your right to disappear for a weekend by yourself.
Green flags Aquarius looks for
- Values a partner who is progressive
- Values a partner who is original
- Values a partner who is independent
- Values a partner who is humanitarian
Red flags Aquarius shows when unhappy
- Can get runs from emotional expression when the relationship feels stuck.
- Can get temperamental when the relationship feels stuck.

Common Aquarius Relationship Pitfalls
An Aquarius can love you deeply for a decade and still not know how to say it on a Tuesday afternoon for no reason. The good Aquarius partners learn that the words matter to other people even when they don't matter to themselves. The partners of Aquarians learn that the love is real even when the romantic vocabulary is small, and they read it in the actions instead.
