The Aries/Aquarius combination is generally a smooth and flowing one. The fire of Aries and the air of Aquarius support and expand each other. Freedon-loving Aquarius admires the honesty and fresh sponaneity of Aries, and the Aries woman loves the sense of lofty detachment that the Aquarian woman often projects (even though the Aries woman has trouble being detached about anything). Both these women will value freedom and independence in their relationship, and each will find it easy to respect the other's individuality and autonomy. In general, each will find the other a stimulating and inspiring companion on the mental level. In fact, these two often come together because they share some common vision, dream, or cause.
The problems that tend to arise between these two women are minor in one sense, but nevertheless need attention because they often revolve around intimate emotional communication. While the Aries woman does not easily communicate tenderness and affection, her feelings are ardent and intense. She craves reassurance and warmth from her partner. The Aquarius woman often has a tremendous ability to focus her mind, but although she too may have intense feelings, the most important thing to her is taking a detached position from which she can see things comprehensively and objectiively. She may find the Aries demand for a passionate emotional response unsettling. The Aries in turn may feel that the Aquarius does not really care about her because the Aquarian emotional expression is so cool. In other words, the same qualities that can be so attractive to these two women on the intellectual level could be a problem on the emotional level. For this relationship to go beyond a superficial level, the Aquarian must learn to share her feelings more openly and the Aries must realize that just because love is not stated directly does not mean it is not there.
Whether these two women resolve this emotional issue or not, they will nonetheless make excellent companions. The home they share will have an open quality that draws many creative and intelligent people to visit. The two women may find that a larger group with whom they can share common goals is an integral part of their relationship. Neither woman will demand that they spend most of their time together, although in the natural course of things they will enjoy spending a lot of time together. Sexually, these two women could have a compatible relationship once they find ways of communicating better emotionally as well as intellectually.
