Libra will take the lead in bed—and this works just fine for Aquarius. Libra is a natural people-pleaser, and Aquarius appreciates the attention Libra gives her both in and out of the bedroom. So while Libra takes charge in the sack, Aquarius has a fun time going along for the ride, and trusts her Libra man to know what she wants.^{[2]

- As 1 of the 4 cardinal signs, Libra is naturally inclined to take charge: cardinal signs are the visionaries and trendsetters of the zodiac, compared to the 8 mutable signs, which include Aquarius.
- Aquarius's creativity and eccentricity turn her Libra guy on. He finds these qualities extremely alluring, which only makes him more eager to please her.
- As a Venus-driven sign, Libra is extremely romantic and very motivated by aesthetics, so he will go all out to make the moment special for him and his Aquarius lover: candles, soft lighting, rose petals, the whole shebang.^{[3]

Aquarius will be turned on by Libra’s passion and intellect. First and foremost, both Libra and Aquarius are aroused by each other’s extreme intelligence, but physicality and passion come in a close second. While Libra may have caught Aquarius’s attention by proving he was intellectual enough to stimulate her, his sensuality is what takes them from friends to passionate lovers.^{[4]

Expert Interview} Both Aquarius and Libra are particularly good at communicating and aren't prone to jealousy, meaning that when Aquarius needs some alone time, Libra doesn't take it to heart. Both signs are likely to get as much breathing room as they need in their relationship.

Aquarius will help her Libra be more confident. While Libra men can be charming and diplomatic, their diplomacy can sometimes cause them to sacrifice too much of themselves to satisfy others. When he dates an Aquarius, her natural confidence and firmness are likely to rub off on him.^{[11]

- These signs both boast even-keeled emotions most of the time, but Aquarius won't hesitate to stand up for herself and her ideals when she needs to. Libra may rely too much on "keeping the peace," even at the expense of voicing his opinions or staying true to himself.

Libra will help to bring out Aquarius’s warmth. Aquarius women are very unique, and proud of it. They know how to stand up for themselves and not default to the status quo. But while an Aqua woman’s uniqueness and confidence are great traits, they can also make her seem standoffish or even cold at times. Libra will use his natural warmth and diplomacy to balance her out, drawing out her softer, less intense side.
- While both Libra and Aquarius love to socialize, Aquarius can sometimes default to watching other people rather than actually engaging with them! With Libra's encouragement, she can show off her soft side and connect more easily with others.

1
Libra may struggle with restlessness. The dark side of being the sign of “balance” is that sometimes Libra will jump back and forth between 2 ideas or desires: when he’s in a relationship, he will fondly recall the days he was single—but when he’s single, he’ll crave the intimacy of a relationship. Aquarius is one of the few signs in the zodiac who really understands how to date a Libra guy, but his tendency to flip-flop is something both parties need to be aware of and something he will have to work on overcoming.^{[12]

- Despite his restlessness, Libra can be very committed. His desire to “escape” the bonds of a relationship tends to be periodic and short-lived, and it will fade over time.
- That said, he and his Aquarius should talk about his conflicting feelings when they do arise. As they are both naturally great communicators, this is unlikely to be a severe issue in the relationship.
- Aquarius, take notice if your Libra man starts to pull away. Libras need a lot of space in a relationship, but if he has stopped communicating with you, this is a sign he is feeling restless or dissatisfied.
- Libra, if you do end your relationship with Aquarius, be sure it’s what you really want, as it’s hard to win an Aquarius back!^{[13]

Aquarius may struggle to match Libra's flirtatiousness and romance. Libra and Aquarius's shared love of ideas and ability to parse through complex thoughts is what draws them together. Unfortunately, Aquarius may struggle to stop thinking, which may leave romantic and flirtatious Libra feeling a little frustrated at times.^{[14]
X
Research source}
- Libra's undivided attention for his Aquarius lover will make it easier for her to feel romantic around him compared to other signs, but she'll still have to work on her seduction techniques.
- It may be helpful for both signs to sit down together and discuss their love languages to establish concrete ways of showing and receiving affection for and from each another.
3
Libra’s attraction to refinement can make him judgmental at times. While Aquarius seems to be a perfect fit, the more intimate the two become, the more likely her “unrefined” qualities are to show. Libra will have to work on being less judgmental and demanding in order for both parties to be comfortable expressing their full, authentic selves, whether they’re gabbing away at a party like Dorothy Parker at the Algonquin or, well, lounging in their sweats watching reality TV.^{[15]

- Libra men tend to be handsome, well-kept, and refined, and they demand this of their partners as well. But this expectation for constant refinement is unrealistic, which may contribute to Libra’s occasional flightiness.
