Best Matches for an Aquarius Woman
Now, let’s look at each sign to understand why and how they qualify as the best match for an Aquarius woman. Following the horoscope chart in order to present the best matches, the men belonging to the below sun signs tend to accept and love women with the Aquarian characteristics and charisma.
1. Aries

If you’ve never believed in love at first sight, you might believe in “love at first chat” when you lock horns verbally with the Aries.
This chatty gentleman loves and cherishes independence as much as the Aquarius, if not more. He needs space, and so he’ll also give his partner some – and both will be in a relationship that’s smother-proof and suffocation-free.
He is strong-headed, just like its representative symbol of the Ram. He is fearless, extroverted, and doesn’t shy away from speaking his mind. While some girls could find such strong characteristics a little too intimidating, Aquarius women are intrigued.
He’s rebellious, and with an Aquarius woman in tow, they make a formidable pair – challenging authorities, questioning them, and eventually even breaking them. The optimism with which he takes on projects and challenges is just at par with the Aquarian optimism.
The first among the zodiac signs, Aries men tend to be natural leaders and enjoy being in charge. However, just because he’s in charge doesn’t mean he seeks unwavering, unquestioning followers. Instead, he prefers someone who can be his equal, who isn’t afraid to stand up to him, and who isn’t a weakling.
Ruled by the fire element, the Aries man is passionate as well as impulsive – making spur-of-the-moment decisions. This spontaneous energy may exhaust some docile girls, but for the Aquarius woman, this energy breathes fire into her ordinary life – which she has been yearning to break away from.
Above all else, what makes these two most compatible is that both are more practical than emotional. Both detest melodrama and clinginess in a relationship, both are emotionally very secure, and so there’s no question of jealousy, insecurities, and tear-jerking moments.
In the bedroom, he brings the same spontaneity and fire which fuel the passionate relationship – and the Aquarius woman’s lack of inhibition in bed complements his creativity perfectly.

2. Gemini

The only other sign that hates the idea of being tied down, other than Ms. Aquarius, is Mr. Gemini. This simple fact could be enough to raise those Aquarian eyebrows and perk up those ears.
Both signs share the air element, and courtesy of the air sign, both are thinkers and communicators. The Gemini counterpart not only partakes in the intellectual conversations that the Aquarius lady finds oh so stimulating – but also elevates the entire talk.
When you strike up a conversation with the Gemini, people around start disappearing for their lack of ability to cope with the depths, inferences, references, digressions, and the details.
His duality, which sticks out like a sore thumb for ordinary girls, becomes a yardstick of freshness for Aquarian women. She enjoys this quality, as it makes him unpredictable – and she prefers being on her toes rather than settling down for mundane single-faceted people.
He enjoys attention and is the life and soul of a party. Aquarius women don’t mind socializing and mixing with the crowd, and with a little push and prod from the Gemini man, will be breathing life into a dull party together.
The roving eyes of a Gemini man and his charming, flirtatious ways in any gatherings can be a big turn off for women who want their men all to themselves. On the contrary, an Aquarian woman has no qualms about Mr. Gemini’s flirting nature. She is not cut out to be jealous, infuriating in her own pool of insecurities, which is strangely why her Gemini man cannot get enough of her.
The highly misunderstood Gemini man seems completely at home with the Aquarian woman. The qualities that the Gemini man is condemned to works perfectly in the presence of a broad-minded Aquarian woman.
Besides, the very qualities that get Aquarian women labeled with being “cold and distant” are just what a Gemini man interprets as cool and spacious.
This quality match is the yin and yang of a relationship. To put a face to a Gemini charmer, picture Prince William, Kanye West, Bear Grylls. Thinking of dating a Gemini man? Here are 8 Things You Should Know.
3. Libra

Yet another air sign match, Libran men are blessed with the gift of gab. An Aquarius woman who needs a constant dose of intelligent and meaningful discussions will remain entertained in Libra’s company.
He is socially confident and knows the ins and outs of the parties, and he’ll take her to the best of these. He’s a social butterfly with immense tact, diplomacy, and charisma that’ll have the Aquarius woman drawn to him like a moth to a flame. She’ll helplessly follow him around, taking mental notes of how he can be intelligent yet gentle, passionate yet sympathetic.
This Libra balance baffles her. This man shows her how it’s done without ever telling her, and she soaks up every bit of information she learns, the attitude, and attributes like the best sponge.
While she tends to look at the other best-matched signs as her equal, with Libran man, he will be revered as well. She’ll find him slightly above her level but not intimidatingly so – and no, he won’t ever make her feel that way.
Another attribute of a Libra man that’ll take you by surprise is that he’s hopelessly romantic, especially when he’s smitten. When he’s in love, he doesn’t mind showering his woman with love – whether in public or within the walls of their room. He’ll also make her fall in love with him, and together they’ll be dreaming about home and family.
Only a Libra man can lead you into “happily ever after,” and you’ll be surprised to see your commitment-phobic self giving in without a fight. The best part is – it all happens so naturally – yes, even for an Aquarius woman.
With celebrity Librans like Will Smith, Ryan Reynolds, and Simon Cowell, you know you’ll be giving in to their charms too. Have your eye on a Libra man? Here are the 12 Things You Should Know.
4. Sagittarius

The archer can be your friend, lover, partner in crime, BFF…
While deeply immersed in a conversation with your Sagittarius partner, others around you two may wonder if you’re having an argument. The enthusiasm from the Sagittarius man can be contagious, and you’ll contract it in no time. After that, be ready for the fireworks!
The curiosity that Aquarius women always harbored for things they’ve been warned against – for things known and unknown – is just at level with her Sagittarius partner. He doesn’t care about what others think, and soon the warnings you almost took to heart disappear. Together they dig, explore, and excavate – unearthing crazy facts that they find utterly amusing.
Both enjoy a little freedom even in a relationship; neither like to be tied down with “Dos and Don’ts.” Her formidable personality doesn’t intimidate him at all; instead, he encourages her to be her own self, much to the chagrin of the different counsels she’s been at the receiving end of.
He’s an incurable flirt, which is one reason he’s been unable to hold onto a steady relationship. However, she finds his flirtatious nature amusing, endearing, and novel – while he’s pleasantly surprised when he sees no sign of jealousy in the relationship. While this may make him a little reckless in openly flirting with other girls, it also calms him down – and he might retract himself completely to focus all his attention on the amazing self-assured woman that is the Aquarius.
He’s fearless and ambitious – and has a slightly utopian view of the world. Her cynicism and practicality offset this impractical attribute of his and helps him land safely back to the ground.
While he’s action-oriented, she likes to plan a little ahead. Her planning skills complement his get-into-action characteristics. When they look at each other, they seem to be pieces of the same puzzle – together, they become whole.
Her love for adventure is fueled by his love for travel, and they’ll find in each other the best travel companion. Their myriad interests in a plethora of subjects give this relationship a vigor – and even without commitment, you’ll find yourselves attached to the hips.
