The two final signs of the zodiac, both Aquarius and Pisces are not really bound to earthly matters. Aquarius theorizes about the laws of the cosmos; Pisces fantasizes about worlds unborn. Aquarius can perceive future trends and conceive technologies that may not be embraced for years. Pisces creates fictions that cannot physically exist.
Pisces doesn’t even care about the boundaries of science, the quest to understand outer space. For Pisces, inner space is what counts. For Aquarius, laws are made to be broken; for Pisces, laws themselves are illusory lines drawn in the sand to separate what is from what most people can’t imagine.
Interpersonally, these signs can’t be more different. Aquarius detaches, while Pisces merges. The latter romances and deifies the lover, while the former finds intimacy too sticky. Think Neo from The Matrix, who can bend the laws of physics and overcome the boundaries between humans and AI, versus Agent Smith, who finds the smell of humans revolting.
Mysticism versus Astrology
Pisces will meditate to transcend the limitations of ego consciousness, and feel love for all sentient beings. Aquarius will study the heavenly bodies to understand the meaning behind events and personalities, and although she may achieve an “ah hah!” moment, she doesn’t quite feel the interconnectedness of all things (As Above, So Below), as much as comprehend it. Both ways are important, but these two signs don’t see eye to eye.

hi,
Aquarius here (detached, unemotional and easily annoyed)… engaged to a pieces that i have known for many years and wouldn’t date him for a long time. Though I am pretty stereotypical in the Aquarius tendencies I would say i am a bit more sensitive to the pieces needs as I have a younger brother and a son that is pieces. Still, I do go out of my way not be touchy feely (though it sometimes irks me to near repulsion)… I try really hard to not tease (even in good nature) and do patiently sit by for emotional talks. As someone else mentioned, the stupid little lies (about nonessential things like eating a piece of fruit) are annoying, I get over it quickly by just chalking it up to being “his thing”. As long as I keep in my mind that we see things from an entirely different perspective… even at times it seems like alternate universes; I keep my frustrations at bay. Another thing we do is have the lazy at home days for him and alternate them with the hiking to the swimming hole adventure days for me. Don’t know if it works for all, but compromise and communication (even if it is drawn out and repetitive) seems to keep us on an even playing field and our relationship happy and healthy.
pardon the massacre of the word Pisces
lol, also – i go out of my way to be touchy feely (opposite of what i typed above)… sorry it is 3am for me
Well… I wish I was!!! Ive known my aquarius for almost 3 years, we talk about everything, we have the most amazing sex ever!!… and just when I think he may finally ask me to be his girlfriend he tells me he’s back with one of his old flames… I hate that about him, all of them break his heart and I always end up mending it and waiting again… =(
ehh… I wouldn’t say mismatched… I’d just say “so similar but with different reasons to justify what they do or think”
I am not a successful match. but i wanted to add, that he and I are complete opposites. we have a son together, and a successful FRIENDSHIP, but nothing romantic has ever lasted for a significant amount of time between us. he is pisces, and i feel that our demise was his attachment to the past, and my attachment to being unsettled… i probably waited to long…
to maryjose:
our passion is in the sex… and the illusion of that is what keeps us intent. when i have sex with someone, as it attracts them more to me, i am less attracted to them. just be casual about it. it will drive him crazy.
Define sucessful…
I am an aquarian women, very typical (except for a pesky Venus sag…), married to a Pisces man for over 13 years. Mostly good stuff, but, for me, the sex is the issue… Our charts have a lot of similarities, so I attribute our ability to keep it going to that. But it has always been an uphill batlle. We both know we are not fully getting what we need and we both make many personal sacrifices to make the other happy. But maybe that is what it is all about? Our communication is our cement; without it, we’d have been done by now. All complaints are typical, I think he’s too “sticky”, he thinks I’m not interested, distant and cold. We both feel unfulfilled in the bedroom (me moreso than he, he chases me around all the time, with the touchy feely crap). And, to boot, my 8 year old daughter is Pisces too… It’s all been fraying my nerves for years, but yet I stick to it. Out of obligation? Out of guilt? Maybe even out of some strange form of love, I’m really not sure…I wish I had an answer for us to both feel satisfied with our realationship…
I’m currently looking or searching for a way to be a part of a successful Pisces-Aquarius match or even just a Pisces-Aq match at that. Aquarius female here and I am EXTREMELY interested in a Pisces male. I’m actually talking to a Scorpio male but it’s a long distance relationship and not cutting it. I definitely desire this Pisces male, lol. I really want to make him and I an us but there are problems and things to consider first.. UGH. Why can’t it be easy?
Heather: Thanks for responding and I understand what you’re saying but damn. First, I’m only 16 and still a virgin. I’m definitely not up to having sex yet, so that options out. But have you ever been in a relationship with a Pisces? I’m definitely confident that I could make us happen but there are obstacles in the way and I’m not sure if I should push anything yet. I feel like I should just wait till we’re at the end of high school or out of it to really pursue him but I do really want this. Well, at least I think I do.. My feelings may change in time but I’m more positive of this then I’ve ever been about myself and any other guy.. For now. Damn.
Ok,
Im looking at this post and these comments and feel the need to say something. In this particular situation it is not a good idea to go by sunsigns alone ! trust me I know a water bearer that has a good bit of water and is far more pisces than I am !
You need to look at the chart, generally speaking if the fish has a lot of air or fire ( merc or venus in particular) they will have a reasonable repor with the aqua esp if the aqua has planets that are compatible with the fish.
I once dated an aqua with pisces venus , he was more pisces if you will in the relationship
Aquarius should keep in mind you are dealing with someone who is VERY different from you, dont dismiss their emotions they are as real to them as freedom and logic is to you, they do not look at things the same way as you do .
Likewise pisces must check their emotions and learn to keep a clear head an argue rationally instead of going by their feelings all the time.
So yes, of course there is going to be an immediate clash, it depends on the charts very much pisces is not weak as some aquarius think they are you are only seeing what you want to see if thats the case, stop trying to make pisces fit what you think is a logical way of doing things and take them as they are and love them as they are.
No one should have to make vast changes to their personality for anyone loving someone means loving all them even the bits you dont like.
If you cant do that/ they cant do that then they are not the person for you
@abc123:

This is good information. I am very close with an Aqua right now and I have mercury in Aqua and we have a very good repor…my mercury placements helps me to understand and appreciate him for who he is and my ability to detach emotionally in conversation (plus my moon in Cap) helps me to not have such emotional displays…in fact, in person, he is more emotional than I am
