It's Aquarius Season: Here's What Your Zodiac Sign Says About Your Relationships

Are your zodiac signs compatible? How can you make a relationship work with any sign? Your love horoscope helps you understand romance through the lens of astrology.

Aquarius people are born January 20 to February 18. What is this sign like in love and relationships?

When it comes to love, Aquarius is a funny creature. You're an idealist who believes in true love, and you're always searching for a best friend and soul mate in one. On the other hand, your sign rules casual connections, and you guard your independence fiercely. While you have friends by the thousands and you're totally laid-back around them, you can be neurotic and unpredictable with your romantic partners.

The real issue? You may look like the boy or girl next door, but most Aquarians are eccentric beings. What's in that package may be quite different from the often clean-cut wrapper suggests. Although you may come across as light and superficial, you're a true visionary with a lot of complex layers, and you may secretly believe that nobody can truly understand you. This leads you to settle for less-qualified candidates, just to avoid being alone.

Rather than get hung up on a bad match (you can obsess over a breakup for years), Aquarians should mingle in social circles that reflect your deepest interests. Aquarius is the sign of groups, friendship, and humanitarian pursuits. Join a network of people who share your beliefs—like environmental protection or animal rights—and you'll likely meet a mate who shares your ideals. Wouldn't you love to date a best friend with whom you can kick back, laugh, AND save the world?

Since you need lots of freedom, you may be drawn to a long-distance relationship. Unconventional living arrangements are not uncommon in Aquarius romances. You may wish to keep your own residence even after you've declared your matrimonial vows. Connecting with your partner on the mental plane is far more important than seeing them in the flesh every day. You'd rather be sending "I miss you" emails from a spiritual pilgrimage than having the same "how was your day, dear?" conversation after a predictable day.

As the sign of the rebel, you're not above a good controversy, so it all comes out in the wash. You love to shock people. Just make sure you don't base your romantic choices on the need to prove a point. If your family has pressured you to tie the knot, you could spend years giving them the proverbial finger and refusing to engage in a long-term relationship. While you should always maintain your independence, don't be afraid to put down roots and discover how commitment can actually set you free! You bring so much fun, creativity, and wackiness to a relationship, there's no reason you shouldn't enjoy inventing a romance with your own funky spin.
