Libra and Aquarius Compatibility
Libra and Aquarius are a trine, four signs apart, an air sign and an air sign. In general they tend to enjoy endless conversation and plenty of freedom.
How Libra and Aquarius fit together
You are four signs apart, which is called a trine, and you share the same element. That tends to feel natural: you understand each other’s reactions without much explanation, and the same things make you comfortable.
Two air signs share a love of talk, ideas and freedom. The pull is toward friendship, humour and a lot of conversation, and it can use a deliberate pause now and then to get from thinking about feelings to feeling them.
One is cardinal and the other fixed. The cardinal sign starts things and the fixed sign sees them through, which can be a good division of labour when both respect it.
Libra in love
Libra loves through partnership. It is charming, attentive and drawn to beauty, and it works to keep a relationship fair, balanced and pleasant to be in.
Aquarius in love
Aquarius loves as a friend first. It is drawn to originality and independence, shows affection through ideas, loyalty and shared causes, and needs a relationship with room in it.
What each brings, and what each needs
Libra brings grace, fairness and a talent for making two people feel like a team, and needs harmony, conversation, and a partner who does not make it choose sides. The hardest parts tend to be saying a hard thing out loud, and deciding when the options are both appealing.
Aquarius brings originality, loyalty to its principles and a genuine respect for who you are, and needs freedom, intellectual company, and acceptance of its quirks. The hardest parts tend to be staying present for heavy emotion, and letting someone get very close.
Making it work
Because it comes easily, it can be taken for granted. Keep doing the small things that make it feel chosen, and add something new now and then so the ease does not turn into routine.
