Venus in Aquarius

Venus in Aquarius loves the person as a friend first, and keeps a little sky between you.

How Venus in Aquarius loves

You love with your mind open and your heart slightly out of reach. Venus in Aquarius wants a partner who is also a friend and an equal, someone to talk about the world with rather than someone to collapse into. Convention bores you; you will design your own version of a relationship and be baffled that anyone objects. You are loyal in your way, and your way is honest, fair and a little cool. Possessiveness repels you, in yourself and others. The partner who gives you room and treats your independence as a feature, not a problem, gets a devotion that is more durable than it looks.

Attracted to

Originality, intelligence and independence. You are drawn to people who think for themselves, who have their own friends and causes, and who never make you feel watched.

Needs back

Freedom inside the relationship, intellectual companionship, and a partner who does not need constant reassurance.

The shadow

You detach when feelings run high and call it reason, leaving a partner alone with the emotion you refused.

The gift

You see people clearly and let them be exactly who they are, which is rarer than romance.
