aquarius in friendships

Aquarius will always take the initiative to meet someone and hear their story. Aquarians love finding connections to other people, and never feel self-conscious or out of place, even in a group of strangers.

Those born under the sign of Aquarius may be loyal and faithful friends, able to listen and counsel, endure and comprehend what their friends have to give because friendship does not demand emotional commitment and usually does not restrict their independence.
Aquarians see the best in people, but get frustrated if people don't see those qualities in themselves. Aquarius sometimes feels like they always have to be the cheerleader and mentor for others, and sometimes crave another person to play that role in their lives. Aquarians are fun-loving, up for anything, and always feel that a friend is just a person you haven't met yet.

Aquarians like you are social and always ready to try something new with your buddies. Your friends admire you for your charm, loyalty, and ability to make friends with everyone. But they also wonder how much they mean to you -- sometimes, you can seem detached and uninterested in their day-to-problems. Remember to take some of your compassion for humanity and apply that to your individual relationships!

aquarius in love & romance

Aquarius, you like that you live life head-first and not heart-first -- it's not that you don't feel anything, just that your feelings aren't a top priority. However, most of your partners will expect emotions to be a part of a romantic relationship. When you're in a relationship, you need to make an effort to let your partner know that you are emotionally invested in them and your future together.

Just because you don't need to hear that from them doesn't mean they don't need to hear it from you -- give a little. You're also such a future-focused person, you can leave your partner feeling like the two of you are living in different times and spaces.

They are still learning things you have already learned -- they can't meet you where you are, so you need to meet them where they are. If a lover is showing sincere interest in your ideas and dreams, don't just take off without them -- you could use all the support you can get.
