♒︎♒︎ Aquarius and Aquarius compatibility

How well do Aquarius and Aquarius go together? By tradition: familiar.

Two of the same sign recognise each other as if in a mirror. That brings quick understanding, and there is little to explain. But tradition also says: a mirror shows not only the lovely side, but also what you dislike about yourself.

What helps: Each of you needs a corner of your own where you are not the other's mirror.

What connects them

Two free spirits who value friendship, ideas and individuality.

Where it rubs

Both need a lot of distance, and closeness sometimes falls short.

Element and way

Two air signs: there is a lot of talking, laughing and thinking. You understand each other in your heads, often after the very first conversation. Tradition only advises putting feelings into words too, not just thoughts.

Aquarius is a fixed sign. Both belong to the fixed signs: they hold on to what they have. That makes the connection faithful and steady. It gets difficult when both stand their ground, because neither likes to give way.

The two in love

In love, Aquarius is a friend first. It needs room of its own and someone who likes its quirks.

The planets of the two

The planet of Aquarius is Uranus, by the old rulership Saturn. Uranus stands for freedom and the unexpected. It brings surprises to a relationship and the wish for room of your own.

The sky for the two, as of 19 October 2026

Venus is currently in Scorpio, until 24 October. For Aquarius, it touches the area of career and standing. Venus has been retrograde since 3 October and stays so until 14 November. During this time, tradition advises clearing up old matters between two people rather than sealing new ones. On 1 March 2027, Venus enters Aquarius. Mars is currently in Leo, until 25 November.

Computed from the real sky, new every day.

Read by decans

Tradition divides every sign into three decans of about ten days. Each decan has a sub-sign of the same element, and the couple then reads like the two sub-signs. If you know the birthdays, here is the finer reading. Under each decan are its approximate days and its sub-sign. The dates are for 2026 and shift by about a day from year to year.
