Aquarians are not particularly good at sharing their lives with someone else. Their natural independence means that they frequently form serious liaisons late in life – or, sometimes, not at all. They are not good at revealing their true feelings, and bottle up their emotions. Because they love the whole world, one-to-one love is harder to accomplish.

Aquarius man needs to find the reason for everything, and that includes his partner’s every action and remark. He needs to know what makes her tick, right down to the most casual comment or nuance. He is unlikely to try to win her love with compliments or grand gestures. In fact, he is more likely to regard her as a friend first – and a friend second and third.

Aquarius woman is faithful in love – but detached. Trying to get her to commit herself can be a lifelong undertaking. She is not particularly interested in money but does expect her partner to remain true to his personal brand of ethics – whatever they may be. Her appearance tends to be striking, usually emphasised by her individual style of dressing. Patronise her or take advantage of her good nature and she will walk out and never return.

Aquarians are among the least passionate lovers of the Zodiac. The physical side of a relationship is not their prime concern. However, being on the same wavelength as their lover most certainly is. They are capable of being contrary, intractable, stubborn and perverse. They are interested in everything and everyone and if their partners sometimes feel that they are sharing them with the world, it is only because they are.
