Libra and Aquarius
Air meets air · Ideals and ideas
Two air signs with a sense of community: Libra seeks fairness in togetherness, Aquarius freedom for everyone. Both like to talk, like to think and give each other room. A friendly, witty and slightly cool combination.
First encounter
Libra and Aquarius find each other through conversation, friends and ideas. Libra values Aquarius's originality, Aquarius values Libra's fairness and charm. The first encounter is stimulating and relaxed – neither is after quick intimacy, and each likes that the other isn't either. What emerges is first a friendship that slowly opens up.
What unites them
Both are sociable, tolerant and idealistic. They love conversation, culture and people, and share the wish for a better, fairer world. Aquarius gives Libra steadfastness and the encouragement to be unconventional; Libra gives Aquarius grace, diplomacy and an eye for the personal within the general. Both are rarely jealous and respect each other's freedom. Together they are a couple that likes having guests and discusses late into the night.
Where it rubs
Libra wants closeness and relationship, Aquarius wants freedom and distance – and both are so polite that the difference stays unspoken for a long time. Fixed Aquarius holds on to principles, cardinal Libra wants compromises. Both live in their heads; feelings and the body get short shrift, and neither reminds the other. Libra experiences Aquarius as cool and opinionated, Aquarius experiences Libra as dependent on approval. The translation: say your needs out loud instead of guessing at them – and tend to warmth deliberately.
