Western Zodiac Compatibility
Aquarius and Aquarius

Compatibility overview

This is a promising combination for all kinds of endeavors. As with any own-sign combination in the Western zodiac, it is essentially a recipe for both heated agreement and heated disagreement. However, the contours of the Aquarian personality mean that the scale usually tips, often strongly, in the positive direction.

When two Aquarians are paired together, the shared element of Air creates great scope for a meeting of minds. Air is generally the most compatible of the four elements. In the initial stages of a connection between Aquarians, both parties will often experience a joyful sense of falling over each other to convey how much they agree and have in common.

As own-sign relationships mature, a common problem is a kind of boring cosmic sameness, a lack of sufficient variety to sustain interest. Here, though, Aquarius’ affinity for universal concerns, combined with their can-do, hands-on approach to achieving real-world outcomes, means there is considerable scope for ongoing mutual discovery. A perhaps more serious risk for this match arises because of the Fixed energy of their sign. Disputes between Aquarius natives may be relatively rare, but they can be just as intense as times of unity. Confrontations are likely to be fierce, and neither side will be willing to back down, ever.

Overall, then, the key to happiness for this pair lies in finding pleasure in their essential similarity, and accepting that it is better to move on briskly from arguments than to try to win them. If two Aquarians can leverage the substantial shared values and interests available in this combination, there is great scope for them to blossom into intimate, business, or family successes.

Alice Walker and Oprah Winfrey (click for attribution/s)

Oprah Winfrey (1/29/1954, Aquarius Snake), Alice Walker (2/9/1944, Aquarius Monkey) : The author and iconic media personality share a close and supportive bond, arising out of Walker's book, The Color Purple (1982). Winfrey has described: "When I read the first line...I remember sitting home and I think it took my breath away literally. You know, people use that phrase. But, I could not breathe. So, after reading the first passage, the first letter...I remember closing the book and weeping, because my God, this is my story. This is my story. Somebody knows how I felt." Winfrey went on to win an Oscar nomination for her performance in the Steven Spielberg's movie, The Color Purple (1985). When Winfrey produced a Broadway production of the novel, Walker said: "[Winfrey's involvement is a] blessing. Oprah and I come from a part of the country where we understand certain realities. She's not just telling you about something as if she's an observer. She has lived a life that is as deep and as painful and as joyful and as depthful as any of the characters. And that's why she I think really captures the imagination of people."

David Lynch (1/20/1946, Aquarius Rooster), Laura Dern (2/10/1967, Aquarius Sheep) : The actor and director have worked together frequently during a relationship that has lasted over 30 years, including on the films Blue Velvet (1986) and Wild at Heart (1990), and the TV show Twin Peaks (1990-1991, 2017). After Dern awarded Lynch an honorary Oscar in 2019, she described: "[Our relationship] just gets better and better. He’s incredible! He’s everything you want him to be...[He] was holding [the Oscar] and I said, 'How do you feel?' and he goes, 'Wow, this is so pretty. But you know, we’re just lucky...I mean, Tidbit [Tidbit is a nickname that Lynch uses for Dern], they’re not our ideas. We’re just lucky if we catch them.' And I’m just like, 'Yeah, well, that’s David Lynch.' They’re not our ideas. Things move through us. We didn’t make them up. I just think that’s really beautiful."

Diane Lane and Josh Brolin (click for attribution/s)

Diane Lane (1/22/1965, Aquarius Dragon), Josh Brolin (2/12/1968, Aquarius Monkey) : The two actors were married between 2004 and 2013. They made headlines after the police were called to their home in 2004. Brolin has described their relationship as a "Richard Burton/Elizabeth Taylor existence", referring to the famously combustible celebrity couple. He said in 2018: "I loved Diane...It just wasn’t attainable, and in that hero mentality, you get exhausted, and then when you get exhausted, you get resentful, and then all that stuff comes out. So I feel bad that I didn’t have the presence of mind or the maturity or whatever to understand that early on."

Gemma Arterton (2/2/1986, Aquarius Ox), Hannah Arterton (1/26/1989, Aquarius Dragon) : The two English actors are sisters who share a supportive relationship. After a working-class upbringing in a council estate, they both graduated from the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art (RADA), and have starred in multiple films and TV shows. Hannah Arterton has described: "[We used to do] routines to The Backstreet Boys and [make] our mum watch. It was unexpected that we decided to go into this weird acting thing. I think my parents thought, 'Oh, well it keeps them quiet...' ...I never thought I could really ever do it. But Gem's success... Someone from our background and our world achieving global success was just so inspiring for everyone. She had the talent, but more than that, she had the ambition. She didn't dream small."

Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi (click for attribution/s)

Ellen DeGeneres (1/26/1958, Aquarius Rooster), Portia de Rossi (1/31/1973, Aquarius Rat) : These two successful entertainment figures and longtime partners married in 2008. "Portia understands me completely," DeGeneres said in 2017. "In our vows, she recited a quote — 'It is good to be loved. It is profound to be understood' — and to me, that’s everything."
