Aquarius' Planet: ♄ Saturn, ♅ Uranus.
“All you need is loaf,” she may announce in all seriousness. Loaf? Surely she means love? She's an Aquarius. Accept that her logic isn't necessarily available to the rest of us.
The Aquarius woman should have been born a hundred years from now—or, better still, a thousand. Then perhaps what she says and wears would blend into the crowd. Today, she's impossible to miss. Her originality is unmistakable, and both her clothes and her conversation reveal personality, taste, courage, and talent.
Sticking to one look bores her. She can change outfits and entire personas as easily as changing gloves. Today she might arrive at the theater dressed as a femme fatale; tomorrow, in a Tyrolean shepherdess dress and a veiled hat. Aquarius is creative, and her own appearance is her favorite canvas.
How to Win an Aquarius Woman's Heart
Remember that she won't trade her freedom and independence for a cage, even one studded with diamonds. Marriage isn't a priority in the first place. If it happens, she'd rather share a tiny, no-frills apartment with a husband who lets her live as she pleases. Not every man can live with her definition of freedom, though.
For a start, her circle of acquaintances is enormous. Gather them in one room and you may struggle to find anything they have in common: a priest, a hacker, an avant-garde artist, a finance minister. Their single connection is Aquarius herself. Be prepared for her to spend a large share of her time keeping up with them.
She also loves travel. Taking off for a couple of days is as ordinary to her as a trip to the store. Household duties inspire considerably less enthusiasm. She knows the hours spent cleaning, cooking, and washing dishes could be put to far more interesting use. Housework—and the words “you have to” in general—seem to bring her out in a rash.
In a Relationship with an Aquarius Woman
A household where the man lays down the law has no place in her life. The Aquarius woman won't tolerate being ordered around or criticized. She's been defending her right to be unconventional, unpredictable, and occasionally impossible to explain since childhood, and she'll keep doing so for the rest of her life. If you want to win her cooperation, encouragement works; coercion doesn't.
For all her independence and constant movement, you needn't expect infidelity. If a relationship no longer works for her, she'd rather end the marriage calmly than begin an affair. There are too many interesting things in the world besides sex to spend her time juggling two men.
Marriage to an Aquarius woman has plenty of other advantages. Because she values her own freedom, she'll respect yours. Suspicion, jealous scenes, and interrogations about where you've been simply aren't in her nature.
She's also beautiful, talented, curious, and knows how to make an impression. From sports news to science and politics, she can hold her own in almost any conversation. Talking with her can be more absorbing than watching the Discovery Channel.
Above all, she wants a man who can be a friend and a conversational equal. That's why she's unlikely to marry someone taciturn, rigidly conservative, domineering, or closed off. His inner world interests her far more than his looks or bank balance. Intelligence, imagination, intuition, and breadth of thought are qualities she has herself and expects in a husband. Aquarian women so often find partners in the arts, politics, or science for good reason.
The Aquarius woman belongs to the world. She hardly belongs to herself, so how could she belong to you alone? Yet life with her reveals just how much wonder and discovery surrounds you. Before you met her, everything may suddenly seem flat and gray. While most people are confined to a single dimension, even ten can't contain the dazzling possibilities of an Aquarius woman.
The Aquarius Mother
As a mother, Aquarius can nurture her children's imagination and all kinds of creative talents. She also teaches them to be sincere and honest.
