Your Aquarius Man

Interdependence is the name of his game. In fact, it was our Aquarius friend Miguel who first introduced us to this term when describing his perfect relationship. You both have full lives, then come together voluntarily, to unwind, grow and have fun. He longs to coexist, rather than merge. Of course, this can only happen once the free-spirited Aquarius man actually decides he’s ready for a relationship. He can be aloof and awkward, hesitant to commit. The Aquarius man doesn’t want to be tied to one woman until he’s sampled the whole panorama.

However, in his mid- to late thirties, the Aquarius man may finally decide to reckon with those demons known as feelings. He might plunge into a philosophical movement or a spiritual modality to explore his emotions safely, in an almost scientific way.

Once he learns how to process his emotions, this humanitarian sign wants to share what he’s learned on his quest. Like a butterfly emerging from its cocoon, the prank-pulling eternal jokester emerges as the ultimate Sensitive New Age Guy.

Being an air sign, the Aquarius man needs a relationship that gives him wings and a purpose. “I like to feel useful,” says our Aquarius friend Gary. Aquarius wants a partner to be his pupil, travel mate and sounding board. Above all, he needs to be trusted. “Anytime the words ‘you should’ come out of my mouth, he shuts off,” says one woman of her Aquarius boyfriend. “So now I say things like ‘have you considered …’” She learned to be nurturing, but to never mother or smother him. It’s a fine balance.

The Aquarius man will never be in a relationship for relationship’s sake. But to fulfill a vision, or live out a future that inspires and excites him with endless possibility? He’s in. “It’s all about having the whole future mapped,” says Gary. If you fit with his master plan, pack your sleeping bag and hiking shoes. You never know where you’ll end up — but he will remain by your side, no matter where that is.
