The Amourous Aquarius - The What?

Charles M. Schulz once said that he loved mankind, it was people he couldn't stand. He wasn't an Aquarius but he certainly sums up the Water Bearer's attitude to relationships. Groups are better. And yes, that can mean exactly what you're thinking - Aquarius is open minded and experimental - but most often it just means that we find it difficult to have all of our desires met by one individual.

Groucho Marx was quoted as saying that he wouldn't belong to any institution that would have him - no, again, not an Aquarius - and while the whole bunch will have more friends and contacts than any 10 other signs, these are rarely of the institutional kind where membership is purchased. Their lovers are almost always friends first: relationships are usually fluid and organic things - characteristics which should make them strong and flexible. In reality Aquarians frequently lose people who just got tired of waiting for us to come back. This makes romance problematic.

I like to think of Aquarius in love as a cat on a leash. Everything is fine as long as we don't see the string. But that goes both ways. Commitment and loyalty yes - encumbrances no. Remember what I said last week about cutting off our noses? Give an Aquarius an ultimatum and listen to the back door slam. Will we regret it? Possibly. Will you ever know if we do? No.

So Aquarius, who is the wind beneath your wings......

Aquarius with Aries - There's not enough of a breeze here to give you supermodel hair.

Aquarius with Taurus - It's like water skiing behind a canoe - it's just something to do to say you tried it - the start of some good stories.

Aquarius with Gemini - This could work...Gemini won't notice that you've been gone and certainly won't have moved on.

Aquarius with Cancer - It's the challenge I think. I mean how can they resist us? And yet they do. A question of who gives up first.

Aquarius with Leo - The sex is phenomenal but they'll either cheat on you in some public and embarrassing way, or never get off your couch.

Aquarius with Virgo - Virgo will be continually whipping out contracts which Aquarius signs in invisible ink. This could get litigious.

Aquarius with Libra - And everyone calls you the crazy one! Ha. The upside is that Libra can conduct the entire relationship without you.

Aquarius with Scorpio - Crockery and curses flying thick and fast. Like a tornado it's wet and noisy and leaves one hell of a mess in its wake.

Aquarius with Sagittarius - Just how open-minded are you? This one is a hot potato you're best advised to drop before you get burned.

Aquarius with Capricorn - You would be the dirty little secret. That can be fun but it also means that you're second fiddle so that's a wash.

Aquarius with Aquarius - Relationship so open it looks like lace a doily. It will be a beautiful thing in your minds and that's where it counts.

Aquarius with Pisces - You want to leave but how can you when they're looking at you with those sad puppy dog eyes? Better now than later.
