When it comes to Aries and Aquarius compatibility, they are well-known for their intense attraction to each other. They are highly compatible, often dubbed the ‘jailbirds’ of the zodiac. Their compatibility mainly comes from their Fire (Aries) and Air (Aquarius) elements, though it’s more than that. They also have a mathematical aspect between them, known as a ‘sextile’, which means that, with some effort, they get along like a house on fire — literally! Aries and Aquarius aren’t only lovers but also the very best of friends. They love getting up to mischief together and can be real trouble-starters. They love each other’s rebellious nature, knowing that they have the perfect partner in crime with each other.

The one thing Aries adores about Aquarius is their independent, free-spirited nature. Aquarius is the perfect amount of detached, making Aries want them more. Aries people love a little bit of a challenge, and the way Aquarius stays out of their reach makes them crave more. Aquarius quite likes being so passionately chased down, which makes these two air signs enjoy their compatibility.

Aquarius is also a highly committed sign, and their stable energy helps calm some of Aries’ impulsiveness. Aquarius is the only person who can ever tell Aries what to do in a way that doesn’t make them feel bossed around.

Why are Aries so Attracted to Aquarius?

Is there any specific reason why Aries is so drawn towards the unusual, eccentric Aquarius? Once again, it’s an energy that Aquarius gives off — an energy that says ‘take it or leave it’. This makes Aries wild for them. Aries loves chasing and conquering the aloof Aquarius and usually finds them a ‘cool cat’. Aries loves how good Aquarius looks next to them, and Aquarius loves being shown off by Aries.

Another thing that Aries finds extremely attractive about Aquarius is their rebellious energy. Aquarius doesn’t give a toss about societal rules. They live according to their own truth, which Aries finds very alluring, being a rule-breaker themselves. Together, there’s no end to the wild adventures and crazy antics that Aries and Aquarius will get up to, making their compatibility rating extremely high.

How are Aquarius and Aries in Bed?

Important to consider when looking at Aries and Aquarius compatibility is how they measure up in bed. Are they physically compatible? Do they have great chemistry?

Without a doubt. Aquarius loves experimenting in the bedroom and is always up for something different. They also have a very sexy energy around them that makes Aries want to conquer and own them physically. Aries is a fire sign, making them extremely hot-blooded, exactly what the cool, rational Aquarius needs. Aquarians often mentalize sexuality, whereas Aries is all physical fire and lusty desire. Aquarius might find Aries’ hunger intimidating at first, though over time, starts to enjoy the way that Aries awakens passion inside of them.

These two will also enjoy a sex life that’s different and varied. They love to take risks, so it’s not unusual to find these two pushing the rules by, for example, experimenting outdoors or in places they’re not allowed. As long as their sex life doesn’t become boring or routine, these two will always enjoy each other’s bodies, and their physical attraction should stay more or less strong throughout their usually long-lasting relationship.

Are Aries and Aquarius Soulmates?

The million-dollar question is whether Aries and Aquarius are soulmates. The straight and simple answer is yes — most likely, they are. Soulmates are people who feel safe and comfortable with each other, who are able to express themselves openly, knowing that they’ll be accepted for who they are. Aries and Aquarius are compatible in that they’re not only lovers but also the best of friends. This certainly constitutes a strong soulmate connection. They’ll know from the get-go that this is a connection that’s something different, something special. They’ll feel it all the way down to their bones. There’s just this sense of comfort and ease with each other that they’ve never had before. It’s almost as if they’ve found someone who truly ‘gets’ them. This is something extremely special and highly unique. The Aquarius and Aries are both very aware of this, making it such a special bond between them.

It’s also important to know that the Aries and Aquarius relationship is the kind that can stand the test of time. Aries, for all their impulsiveness, tend to be extremely loyal. They’ll fight to the death for their partner, someone they are really in love with. For all their free-spirited energy and independence, Aquarius is a fixed sign and, therefore, extremely loyal. They can stay in a relationship for decades, remaining true to their partner while enjoying enormous freedom and space. This combination makes for a true meeting of souls. Aries and Aquarius have their problems, sure, but with the love that’s between them, they can overcome anything. They will always rise to any challenge as a true team.

Will Aries and Aquarius Ever Marry?

Is marriage something that Aquarius and Aries believe in? And if so, will they ever settle down and get married?

The answer is yes! It may take time, but there’s a very high chance that Aries and Aquarius will tie the knot someday. They don’t actually feel the need to prove their commitment to each other, but they like the idea of having a big celebration with their loved ones. The fact that these two are so comfortable in their independent nature yet are still the closest of friends makes them highly compatible for marriage. Even when the passion dies – if it ever does – they will always manage to stay close and be on each other’s team. 

So, how will Aries and Aquarius be as a married couple? For one thing, they’ll seldom get bored. Aries has a very adventurous side, making them always searching for the next big challenge. This makes life extremely interesting together. Aquarius loves new and novel experiences, so they enjoy coming along for the wild ride. Even if these two decide to have children, they’ll still go out of their way to have fun and not be that ‘boring married couple’. Suburbia is all very well and good, but these two will still try to make what looks like a boring suburban life interesting.

Raising children should also come naturally to these two, although they might struggle initially with the loss of freedom. Yet, as the children grow up, they enjoy adventures as a family. Aries and Aquarius can be very permissive parents, allowing their children to flourish and be themselves.

Do Aries and Aquarius Clash?

Where do Aries and Aquarius clash? What are some problem areas for this couple that may make them struggle or feel tension?

If this is a young couple — perhaps under thirty — then there could sometimes be too much fire and rebellion. See, the ruling planet of Aquarius is Saturn, and the ruling planet of Aries is Mars. Although these two planets can be extremely committed and durable, they can also be very much like an immovable object meeting an unstoppable one. Aquarius can sometimes act like a rule-maker, with Aries being the quintessential rebel. The more they push, the more Aquarius will put their foot down and say no.

This can create a stalemate between these two, which sometimes feels impossible to surmount. The power struggles and clashes between them can get heated, though luckily, Aquarius’s cool and detached nature helps to simmer down the famous Aries temper. Aries might still get frustrated at Aquarius being so logical but eventually realize that this is what they need.

Aries might also find that Aquarius tends to be someone who can be too detached for their hot blood. If Aquarius spends too much time with their friends and ignores Aries’ need for attention, Aries can start feeling extremely neglected. This makes Aries angry and prone to throwing tantrums, which Aquarius doesn’t have time for. This can wear the two down, making it important to find a good balance between time together and freedom. Aquarius might also get tired of needing to be a challenge for Aries to be attracted to them and find their need for conflict and confrontation stressful at times.

To wrap up, Aries and Aquarius compatibility, even with their challenges, make an incredible couple. They are fun-loving, rebellious, independent, and adore what each other brings into their lives. They have a great balance of being individuals and being a couple. They are, first and foremost, the very closest of friends. There’s nothing better than this for both. This is the kind of relationship that can truly stand the test of time and get better the longer it lasts. They have it all – good looks, great personalities, fun-loving energy, continual admiration, and respect for one another.
