Is an Aquarius woman right for you? How do you make an Aquarius woman happy?

The Aquarius woman

Aquarius is the eleventh of the 12 signs of the zodiac, which begins its cycle mid-winter each year during Aquarius season—which falls around January 20-February 18.

She’s known to do things her own way, moving on a path different from everyone else’s. Some call her eccentric, others appreciate her cutting-edge originality and authentic style. She’s highly individualistic, but also a good team player.

Aquarius rules the zodiac’s eleventh house of teamwork, technology and friendship. She might look like the girl next door on the outside, but inside she marches to her own beat. Many Aquarians are naturally popular, telling jokes and introducing thought-provoking conversation topics. People make her world go round.

As the sign of the future, Aquarian women can be a little “out there.” Aquarius rules casual connections, and she can disengage as quickly as connect. While she can be a bit unsentimental on a one-on-one level, she can be moved to tears by the plight of animals, the environment or other social justice issues. She has a bohemian at heart in some ways, but she also gets a job done.

As a tenacious fixed sign, she can be quite hardworking, competitive and have grand ideals!

A good first date could be a night at the improv or comedy club or watching a Netflix comedy special.

Keep it casual, although there’s really no wrong idea for a first date. Worry less about being her “dream guy” and be yourself, even if you’re a little off-center, that may work in your favor!

Sex with an Aquarius woman

Futuristic Aquarius likes to experiment with gender roles, power, and all sides of her desire. She can detach from the touchy-feely side of sex although sexual intimacy is important to an Aquarian woman. She loves it if you want her, but not to be too needy. A sign that rules technology, she may be open to a good sex toy, and the sign of groups, she might be into an orgy or a threesome, or maybe just fantasizing about them. Keep an open mind—she will!

An Aquarius woman’s turn-ons and turn-offs

Aquarius woman turn-offs: being cynical or too skeptical, unsolicited advice on how to run her life, pressure to marry/have kids, being overly materialistic or having no interest in the spiritual or metaphysical.

Dating an Aquarian long-term

Commitment is a dance with an Aquarius woman because he is so independent. But once you get there, your bond can feel like an amazing breeze. The Aquarius woman is a people-pleaser, known to sacrifice her own needs to make others happy, only later to escape—which is where the Aquarius woman could step out on you or “need some space.” It’s a balancing act but it’s not impossible to be the ideal partner for this zodiac sign.

Because she knows so many people and is naturally flirty, the Aquarius woman often gets a bad rap for being a liberal lover (even if she’s not!). She may keep you guessing, but this woman lives by her own rules.

If she…

Gets quiet, it means she is planning a new world order or lost in a quirky dream. Give her space.

Doesn’t call, it means she’s feeling insecure and worried that she called too much or “bugged” you. Give her a call.

Calls a lot, it means she may want to have sex with you. Pace if it if you want more than just a friendly fling.

Doesn’t make a move, it means you’re drifting into the friend zone. You could try to show her another side of yourself.

Doesn’t make a move after several weeks, meet your new BFF. Yo might want to abandon hope and move on.

Moves fast, it means she likes you (really likes you!). But that doesn’t mean she’s in love. Pace it (unless you want the fling).

Introduces you to friends and family, then you’re in!

If you’re slowly transitioned to the friend status over the course of a few months, this sensual love match is over.

If you break up with her out of the blue, though, don’t expect to get off the hook easily! An Aquarius woman will track you down for answers.
