Both of
you are independent, active individuals who appreciate
progressive, dynamic approaches to any situation or problem,
and your relationship has a lively, spirited quality. You
both can be iconoclasts as well, taking pride in your
freedom from many traditional values and beliefs. Aries is
more concerned with personal creativity and, in some ways,
less integrated into social groups and the community than
Aquarius. Aries'
emotions tend to be hot and fiery, while Aquarius is cooler,
more detached, impersonal and fair. When something provokes
Aries' impatience or anger, Aquarius can be infuriatingly
logical and reasonable. Both of you are active and
independent and insist upon having the freedom to pursue
your personal interests and desired outside of your
relationship. You allow one another to be separate
individuals, as well as being part of the couple. Aries is
sometimes domineering, but Aquarius demands equality and
will not accept being dominated. Both of you resist
authority. Also, both of you have a craving for newness and
a willingness to let go of the old and the past in order to
embrace a new opportunity or to follow your direction
regardless of tradition or convention.
Though
similar in temperament, you may not always get along because
neither of you compromise very readily. Both of you are
high-energy people. Aries can help Aquarius learn to direct
competitive drives and personal power into positive
channels, as this is something Aries has mastered in ways
that Aquarius is still grappling with. Aquarius tends to go
overboard, and become aggressive, angry, ad belligerent at
times, whereas Aries is smoother and less likely to
aggravate other people when being assertive and forceful.
Aries has integrated and developed certain aspects of the
masculine principle (the ability to act, to achieve, to
assert the self effectively) and can model this for
Aquarius. The two
of you spark each other's sense of humour and good will. You
usually put each other into a good mood, and you can count
on lots of laughter, fun, and socializing to develop from
this relationship. You feel open and uninhibited with each
other, and a great appreciation for each other grows out of
your happy times together.
Unexpected explosions - of anger, passionate desire, or a
wild urge to do something reckless - will occur rather
frequently in your relationship. You two can be dangerous
together! There is a dare-devilish excitement in your
combined energies, and certainly neither of you will be
bored. However, excessive selfishness and self will, a
quickness to anger, and a generally unstable temperamental
quality can be unsettling to your peace of mind. When
the two of you are together, people will see you as a
dynamic duo - or a couple troublemakers! Part of the purpose
of your relationship is to break the rules, and as a couple
you are apt to fight for your freedom to do so. Sexually you
will be very adventurous and spontaneous together. Sexual
attraction is very strong, but as with other things, one of
you is likely to come on too strong to the other and this
may be offensive to your partner. There is a driving
compelling, somewhat impersonal quality to your love-making
at times. Both of
you may be attracted to the more aggressive or even violent
styles of lovemaking, which you find adventurous and
exciting.
The two
of you as a couple will be strongly influenced by spiritual
teachings, the joint pursuit of inner development, or a
combined interest in imagery, poetry, art, and the
imaginative life of the mind. You will be unusually
telepathic with one another, and will almost immediately be
able to convey your thoughts to one another non-verbally. On
a mental level anyway, you blend together very well.
Idealism and trying to view situations from a higher, more
encompassing perspective are emphasized when you are
together, and a spiritual understanding will be easy for the
two of you to achieve. You are destined to be involved with
learning about the subtle, intangible forces in life, the
effects of colour, music, artistic images, subtle healing
energies, or prayer. Teaching or otherwise disseminating
these ideas may well be a function of your relationship.
