Aquarius' Planet: ♄ Saturn, ♅ Uranus.
Hoping to marry an Aquarius man? You have our sympathy. Marriage generally doesn't feature in his plans. Life is too rich and varied to narrow its wide horizons down to family life.
When you leave the house in the morning, do you really know when you'll be back? For an Aquarius man, that's no rhetorical question. He could return tomorrow—or next year. Perhaps he'll merely spend the night at the home of one of his hundreds of friends. Then again, he might sign on with a fishing boat or be sent on assignment into the wilds of Zimbabwe, somewhere with neither phone service nor internet. How can he possibly get married when fate keeps taking such sharp turns?
Think of the storyteller in a children's fantasy film. Life swirls around him, yet he remains a little outside the frame, alone and free to go his own way. His vivid imagination turns life into a succession of fairy tales, but he wouldn't want to settle permanently inside any one of them.
It sounds easy enough: marry the beautiful princess, fight dragons, raise children, and live happily ever after. But Aquarius knows there are a thousand other stories out there—one about fairies, another about Jedi, another about life in the military. Why should the princess get the whole movie? He has every road in the world to travel and everything in it to discover.
How to Win an Aquarius Man's Heart
If you're still determined to build a life with him, take heart: it isn't hopeless. Family life is one of those roads, too. Once Aquarius realizes this—and sooner or later he will—he'll start looking around for the right traveling companion.
To be the person he chooses, intrigue him, and don't reveal all your secrets at once. Nothing draws Aquarius like a mystery he hasn't solved. You'll need a whole walk-in closet of skeletons to keep him interested through the courtship, ideally with a few left in reserve.
Remember, too, that the Aquarius man loves conversation above almost everything else. More than sex, in fact. You'll need to arrange your priorities accordingly: even Marilyn Monroe would struggle to seduce him if, for some reason, she lost her voice.
From his point of view, the strongest argument for marriage is having someone close by who's always worth talking to. Be curious, take an interest in all sorts of things, and let your imagination wander out loud. Eventually, he'll have to surrender.
In a Relationship with an Aquarius Man
Marriage won't make Aquarius rush to change his habits. You'll have to allow him freedom of movement, even if he announces plans to visit another universe. One consolation: he isn't looking to be unfaithful. His life has so many dimensions that, when you're apart, he can easily put this small part of it on hold.
For his part, the Aquarius man is almost impossibly free of jealousy. That doesn't mean he'll overlook infidelity, but he'll take it philosophically. One fairy tale has ended; time to begin another.
Infidelity isn't the only thing that can prompt him to leave a marriage. Pressure, restrictions on his freedom, other complications—who knows what else? Aquarius lives largely in a world of his own imagining. Many of his ideas, including those about marriage, come from books or an idealized picture of life.
To fit his image of a life partner, you may find yourself trying to look as though you've stepped off the cover of a magazine called Domestic Bliss. And there may be little difference between looking after the children and looking after your Aquarius husband. He can need the same care, chasing after, and tidying up as a carefree teenager.
Still, if you've chosen Aquarius, you're probably no great admirer of a dull routine yourself. Who else could fill your days with such vivid, magical, unimaginable colors? If others like him exist, they must live on another planet. Aquarius seems to have landed on Earth by accident. Take pride in the fact that this astonishing, utterly original man is one of a kind.
The Aquarius Father
Fatherhood is unlikely to be Aquarius's consuming passion; he has too many other interests. But in those rare hours when he's home, the children certainly won't be bored with their dazzling dad.
