Much of what applies to an Aquarius-Pisces friendship is true in a romantic relationship as well, with more importance placed on those emotional needs (which, again, are very different between the two).
Pisces is a water sign, and all the water signs are known for being particularly attune to their own emotions and the emotions of those around them. Aquarius doesn’t necessarily want anything to do with all that, even when they sometimes should. In this way, Pisces can easily get frustrated with Aquarius’ coolness, and Aquarius can quickly grow tired of talking about their feelings.
According to Quinn, “I wouldn’t put Aquarius with any water sign romantically, because Aquarius is just so detached emotionally, and they’re very independent when it comes to their lives,” However, she adds, Aquarius does have the ability to hold space for other’s emotions, being the water bearer, and they should expect to do a lot of that if they’re paired up with a Pisces.
And speaking of being independent, it’s not exactly Pisces’ strong suit. As Quinn tells mindbodygreen, “Pisces might have needs that are able to be met by the Aquarius, because the Aquarius needs space.” Of course, this could provide Pisces with an opportunity to be a bit more independent themselves, but they should never settle for suppressing their own needs.
Another thing to be mindful of with this matchup is that Aquarius isn’t quick to settle down. As astrologer Molly Pennington, Ph.D. previously explained to mindbodygreen, Pisces is the type to suggest getting married in Las Vegas on a whim, for example. Aquarius, on the other hand, can be a bit of a commitment-phobe, and will take longer to really open up to a new love interest.
