Why Aquarius loves Libra women
March 28, 2007 by Jeffrey Kishner
Aquarius doesn’t know how to “do” relationships, so who better than Libra, the expert on partnerships, to guide him? The sign of the scales is ruled by Venus, goddess of love. She knows how to navigate the rocky territory of coupledom, using charm, compromise and all manner of secret techniques.
Aquarius is ruled by Uranus. This outer planet is more comfortable at Star Trek conventions than blind dates sipping on mochas. Uranus is all ideas. Libra can connect to him on the mental plane without losing her human touch. Both are air signs, expressing themselves best in the social and intellectual realms. Libra may not be a space alien like Aquarius, but she can tune into his wavelength enough to decode his transmissions.
Why not Gemini women? Although Gemini is also an air sign, it is ruled by Mercury, planet of communication. Uranus is a “higher octave” of the messenger planet. Put together two thinkers and you’ll have some good discussions, but not much incentive to make the connection physical. Some goddess energy is required to take Aquarius out of the clouds and into the bedroom.

From my own stand-point, it sounds like he’s just terrified of something serious..I’ve done that to women before and its usually just a fear of settling down,a relationship in general..we run when we feel like we’re not strong enough to fix the mistakes or be a good boyfriend..so sometimes it’s just easier to leave..the fact that he keeps tring to contact you is a good thing, it means you stay on his mind throughout those periods..We are flakes sometimes though, but its usually just us thinking too much about somethin, gettin’ nerveous, and then canceling..be patient with us:/
To libragel….the guy kinda sounds like he’s ashamed, he got someone pregant behind your back and he may not have forgiven himself for it yet, I think if you tell him exactly how you feel (at least to get it off your chest) you’d be surprised at the response…
Thank you for your answer, JlovesK! I am so willing to be patient with him (not a normal trait in me at all). I just feel strangely calm and ‘forgiving’ about his ways. Even surprising myself
pls say anyone what r the negative things that r faced by Libra woman from Aqua man pls
aquarius’ tend to not be plan makers, they go with the flow, they are spontaneous and hate restriction.
sometimes they tend to disappear for no reason, not call, not email, not text until days later.
they are a little odd socially, but endearing if you like that type of persona.
smart as hell and funny in their own quirky way.
i believe them to be faithful while in a relationship, but whores outside of one. lol
which is ok.
deep down they like attention and are a bit insecure.
sorry if i am wrong, just talking from experience, i have dated 3 aqauas and next year i will be giving birth to one.
wooo hooo..
Okay, need a little insight from Aquarian men and/or women who have been with them for a while. Here’s the update: Aquaman is trying to come back — this time, after a month long “pilgrimage” — whereabouts unknown. (See my previous post on “Aquarian Man Acting Distant” page — in sum, we have been in a long distance relationship for about a year, he gave me a ring after two months, chemistry is great, I’ve been trying to relocate to his state, he says he knows that I am the love of his life but the way that he goes AWOL drives me nuts.) Anyway, love him to pieces, know that we are probably soulmates, yada, yada but this disappearance thing is offending my Libran sensibilities and I’m getting sick of it. (Personally, I don’t mind having more time to myself and I’m not the clingy/needy/snooping type at all, but I feel like he takes me for granted, knows I’ll always be there etc. and, hey, I want to teach his a** a lesson — explaining my feelings is a waste of time with him and makes me feel like I’m whinning.) Need to hear from all the Aquarian men out there. What’s up? What did it take to finally get you to “act right”? With any other sign, I’d probably give him a healthy dose of his own medicine, disappear myself for a while and know with certainty that the light bulb would go off and he’d come to his senses. However, all the stuff I’ve read on here about Aquarian men not being jealous and being able to rationalize love and move on without a second thought gives me pause. I don’t want to loose him but I am not going to be in a relationship with someone who blurs the line between freedom and lack of respect. In the words of our president, I feel like this is a “teachable moment.” (LOL — had to laugh at that, sorry.) Other vital stats: he’s Aqua Sun but cuspy with Capricorn; Moon in Libra; Venus in Capricorn, Mars in Aries. Me: Libra I; Virgo rising; Moon in Gemini; Venus in Leo; Mars in Leo. Thanks for any feedback — think I might post this in the other Aquarian man post(s) on here as well.
Luvalileebra,It’s not a lack of respect that your aquaman is showing you!
It’s NOT a cop-out either. He has to get away from you(and everyone else) to hear the voices in his own head. Being an aqua is alot like suffering from info overload online- its a parade of constant chaos,socializing, networking, learning, etc. (all of our own doing, we realize)…we get cranky when we can’t escape!
I’m an aqua gal married to a libra guy for more than 20 years, we don’t have a perfect relationship but we do love and respect each other. We are compatible on every level, including tolerance of each others’ quirks. If I couldn’t run away now and then, it would’ve been over years ago. The fact that he knows/tolerates this has kept me faithful, cause I know there aren’t many decent men that would allow me this type of freedom; but because he trusts me I won’t let him down. Ironically, its during the AWOL time that I realize how I love him more than ever!
I am a Libra woman involved with an Aqu Man. To make a long story short we’ve been seeing each other for about a year with a “break” somewhere in there and we are currently on our second break (bc he needs to sort some things out on his own), however in spite of him saying we need to just be friends he keeps coming back to me as “more than friends.” Maybe he only wants sex.? We are really good together. That’s one of my faves about us. Anyways… The other night while we were lying in bed together he said he was used to me and, as a joke, he said if he ever did start dating someone he would have to call me to come over during the intimate moments! lol I said it’s not a bad thing to be “used to someone.” What did he mean by that comment? I’d say he’s not over me, but who knows with Aqu.
The second thing…I am trying to be stronger with my boundaries with him because he likes to see how far he can go with me and in the past I’ve let him do almost whatever he wanted which I think wasn’t too good on my side. I think it’s good to have boundaries with anyone, but will enforcing my boundaries too hard push him away?
Thanks for any insight you have!
Hello, I also dated a aqua but broke it off after 8 months because I thought at the time he just liked me as a friend and not as a “girlfriend” i figured u should treat your girlfriend different compared to your platonic friends. I also told him I loved him and waited for him to return with the same, and waited, and waited, nothing. Even though we were crazy about eachother he couldnt say it. So after waitin (im very impatient) i decided to end it and if he really cared he would tell me verbally not to go (not physically) he seemed sad, but said if thats what i really want, and since I opened the door (in his own words) he wanted to see whats outside. So 16 months later we still talk, and he makes fun of me because i choose to end it and recently we finally went to the movies, but still continues to turn me down when ever i invite him to something fun. Is this how aquas act? And is he really showing me he still cares? Is there anything else i can do to get this aqua back?
Anonymous Gal — Thank you. Thank you. Thank you – for the much needed insight. Aquaman and I are actually making some progress — mostly because I’ve adopted said attitude and it’s actually working for me. (Now that I know/feel/believe that he sees me as his soulmate, I’m like hey, you got all the free time you want dude — that means more time for me to get my beauty sleep, pursue my second career interest, get my hair done, etc. — LMAO.) We’re chatting away on the “Aquarius Man Acting Distant Forum” – I think that there are a couple of ladies on there who would also benefit from your pearls of wisdom. Also, while I’m here, are there any Aquarian Men who have any advice for us??? If so, check out the “Distant Forum” and let us know what you think, how you’ve responded in the past, etc. Particularly interested in hearing more from Water-bearers who are with Libra chicas.
I second that motion Luva. Kudos to Anon Gal!
I’m an aquarius male, and most of my life I’ve been surrounded by Libras, both women and men. My mom is a libra, my best female friend is a libra, my best male friend is a libra, so on and so forth. However, I’ve never dated one. Personally, I’ve found myself always gravitating towards fire signs which is odd because I make it a point not to ask about birthdays or astrological signs until well after I’ve established that there is a connection. From being close friends with a libra fem, though, I can say that libras do understand us a little better than most other signs, simply because libras don’t take things personally. Aquarians have a tendancy to need distance once in a while – we need to disconnect, pore over our own thioughts, and get some perspective, before going back out into the world fresh and ready for more data. What others might perceive as a “mood swing” is, to us, just a much needed break from being at the center of a swirling mass of information. Aquarius may not talk about it a lot, but we are CONSTANTLY observing and analyzing everything and looking for ways to learn from every experience. Yes, ladies, even during sex, our brain is still going a mile a minute . Libras tend to ‘get’ this a little more than most signs. Maybe because libra is intellectual as well?
my aqua boyfriend was with a libra girl for 2 years or so, and dumped her for me, the scorpio.
we get along great but i do miss the deep emotional passionate cancer males.
yeah ashna i can relate to wat you mean. Its actually opposite way round for me. Im an aquarius girl and dating a libra man but the things is im not that really into him and told him well just be friends. Everytime he gets close i push him away.. and it annoys me when he gets all emotional.. maybe becuse i dont know how to make him feel better but we get along really well and have many things in common. he gives me all the time i need to tink and have time to myself which i respect about him but as for my x whose a scorpio.. he was possessive and domineerining which i didnt like.. and this caused alot of arguments because he didnt like me being independant.. tryin to take control.. and i didnt like the fact that he just couldnt be honest, was always keeping secrets and ad such a short temper.. If i questioned him.. he bit.. and I know scorpian men are attracted to cancerian.. because there both emotional and passionate lovers (well my x was anyway) bcus he wasnt loyal as he always told me im not passionte with him much and it explaind alot bcus he was having an affair with a cancerian. O well im better off with my libra man.. atleast hes loyal and understanding.
shoana, i think thats how me and my aquarius boyfriend are. im too psycho for him… and in the beginning of the relationship i was seeing two other cancer men just to prove to myself that i didnt like my boyfriend and didn’t really need him… hes just so… i don’t know … empty. but scorpios tend to be very loyal unless you make them feel threatened. you must have made your scorpio feel that you can live without him and stuff… which leads us to go to people who can’t be without us.
Hi Jeffrey,
Any advice for a kicked to the curb soul like me? My Aqua guy disapeared one too many times, I cant imagine living with a creature that disapears like this permantly…I gave him his space and he took it, trouble is no matter how my=uch he claimed he “loves” me, he just isnt showing it.
I’m going to move on and try to meet other people. Theres the problem though, what to look for next time…Im not really compatibl;e with any sign, Sun in Libra, Arie moon, Scorpio rising, its not good karma is it….any suggestions on what sign would be a better choice next time? THank you
LibraLady, don’t look for signs, just look for people
Thanks Jeffrey
based on what you said though a gemini wouldn be a bad match
Hi JLovesK
Thank you
Yeah, Gemini’s are pretty cool
