Strengths as a Couple
For the couple that consists of the Mutable Water Pisces and the Fixed Air Aquarius there are some notable sources of strength to back up their being a couple.
Pisces and Aquarius will share some very strong desires fulfilled by one another. Aquarius needs someone who can provide them support and a different perspective on most matters and Pisces can do that. Pisces wants new experiences and to be taught about fields they do have interests in but lack knowledge thereof, and Aquarius fills those gaps just fine.
Pisces is one of the most amicable members of the Great Wheel, always happy to lend a hand with any task they can perform, and thanks to their close connection to their emotions, their ability to advice and counsel their peers into making the right decisions is very strong.
Couple this with the stern but fair methodologies displayed by Aquarius, they become a considerable force to be reckoned with together. Aquarius’s methods are those of a teacher; stern, sometimes cruel, but all focused on improving their constituents in their fields of expertise.
Together Pisces and Aquarius form the opposing forces that are good at raising a family and molding a community. A strong leader with a focus on making their children or students excel in their field, and a nurturing and supportive personality able to subdue doubts and build up these children or students in their most difficult times.
Weaknesses as a Couple
There are multiple and very serious problems with the union of Aquarius and Pisces.
Pisces is a Mutable Water sign. They’re creatures of the moment and are in constant need of new stimuli to get the most out of them. Aquarius is a creature of quick thinking and sometimes harsh judgment that will trample people and their opinions quite readily if it means things are smoothened over operationally speaking.
Pisces is amicable but also emotional and Aquarius has very little need for strong emotions in their partner. Aquarius will easily and readily dismiss the emotional needs of Pisces if it inconveniences them and because of that Pisces will grow to resent their potential partner.
Aquarius may be a good leader and a good teacher but they are at times too high concept and too low hanging for Pisces’s taste. They’re also very set in their ways and will rarely reconsider other peoples’ opinions on certain matters unless reality forces them to do so. Since Pisces is designed to show people the faults in their behavior, the fact that Aquarius won’t even give them the time of day will be a source of stress for them.
Together the forces that can hold together the Pisces and Aquarius couple are the very same forces that can push them apart. A cruel leaderlike personality who pays no heed to the needs of the people under him is destined to fail. Meanwhile weak individuals with their hearts out on their sleeves are dead weight to the high hustle high energy life at the pioneer’s forefront.
Compatibility
Romance
Aquarius’s exaltation is the Planet Neptune which conveniently is the governing Celestial Body of the Pisces. Thanks to this the link between the two would-be lovers is surprisingly strong and quite capable of holding for the longest time. There won’t be many dull moments in any case at least. They might struggle at the off since one of them is hyper-romantic and looking for love (Pisces) and the other is aloof and looking for freedom away from strong emotions (Aquarius) but hey if they can somehow find common ground their union will be surprisingly strong.
Pisces is a Mutable sign that needs constant change and new experiences to keep their interest. Aquarius won’t mind this, but it doesn’t excite them nearly as much as they are a fixed sign. Still, there should be enough to keep the romance new so long as both parties know what they’re after.
Rationality and Emotions will however be the eventual death of this relationship. Aquarius does not really like dealing with their emotions and riding emotional roller coasters is not their thing in a romantic relationship. Sadly that is literally all Pisces is if you boil them down to their most basic levels. It will ultimately go either way, but as far as Fixed Air and Mutable Water are concerned the odds are well and truly stacked against them here.
Activities
Good news: Pisces is always ready to try new things. Also good news: Aquarius will have lots of things for them to try out for the first time when they do try playing or working together.
More good news: The interests of Water and Air surprisingly overlap since they like the arts and sports very much. Pisces will appreciate it for its ability to convey emotion while Aquarius will enjoy art and sport’s technical aspects.
Bad news: Water and Air can’t agree on what things the couple should do together. This is mainly because Pisces wants activities that further the emotional bond they share with their romantic partner, meanwhile, Aquarius sees this as an opportunity to spar and practice with someone who is of equal footing to them and advance their abilities and technique; honing it to a fine point if at all possible. This will not necessarily be a death blow to the relationship, but it is another hurdle in place for the couple to overcome somehow.
Communication
As far as schemers and dreamers go Pisces and Aquarius have a lot to tell one another. There’s a lot to learn from each other as well; Pisces’s worldview will give Aquarius pause to evaluate their communicative strategies when they interact with others, while Aquarius’s tact and logic will allow Pisces to more precisely convey the message they are trying to tell the world.
However, this is mostly hypothetical stuff as well as an unhealthy dose of smoke and mirrors since the reality of their situation is nowhere near as dreamy as either partner would really want it to be. Pisces wants to ground Aquarius’s ideas but in doing so they will change and demand too much from their partner to the point of disintegration.
The difficulties they have in establishing any form of rapport with one another means that they can’t really connect with one another in any meaningful fashion. This leaves them with surface-level data and no chance for communicative intimacy, bad news for their relationship if they can even find a way to make one under these circumstances.
Values
Between the two of them, they value connections and companionship a lot, which is a surprise since their elements and temperaments are very different from one another and yet they’ve come to the same rough conclusions somehow. Aquarius is reliant on others and uses their honesty and logic to help others in reaching their goals while forwarding their own, meanwhile, Pisces has an almost pathological desire to assist others as a primary drive, hence their abilities to adapt and service others by any means available to them.
Aquarius values their fellow man and wants to serve them better by any means they can. Pisces is also just as eager to help through their own means, usually by keeping peoples’ spirits up and by giving them hope. Together then, the Air and Water couple is like a hammer and anvil ready to fix the world through their own special ways.
Emotions
This is where the big division between the Fixed Air and Mutable Water couple truly lies. The value they place on their emotions are very different from one another and with good reason.
Aquarius is near the tail-end of the Great Wheel and therefore needs to be colder and calculating with the decisions they make in life as theirs will eventually lead to the culmination of the things that other signs would have started in their absence. They need the most impartial and least emotional ways to solve problems available to them.
Pisces meanwhile lies closer to the start of the Great Wheel and therefore their needs are very different. They are the ones that foster the growth and maturing of their kin and will help others carry their burdens to the end as they work on their bits of the great work of their time. They need those emotional connections as these are what allow them to fulfill that purpose and duty that they were assigned with their placement on the Great Wheel.
Because of these diametrically opposed worldviews when it comes to the role of emotions within their own lives, it comes as no surprise to see that Aquarius and Pisces will see each other as anathema. One wants a big emotional push for love and romance with all the fairy tale fantasies in mind, while the other could literally care less for these seemingly naive and emotional notions.
There is still hope for a safe emotional environment for them to share but only if Aquarius allows it. Pisces will have to take a very passive role in this dynamic which they are very much ill-suited for and will find no satisfaction in fulfilling most of the time. A very select few Pisces may find these arrangements tenable but don’t expect this to be the standard under which other members of the Mutable Water sign will find appealing in any way, shape, or form.
Healing Crystals for Pisces and Aquarius
Pink Calcite
Let’s face it, Aquarius and Pisces are at odds here. Their elemental nature doesn’t really come together. Furthermore, their contrasting values will make it challenging for them to channel their positive emotions.
Thus, given how these two signs are essentially different and even incompatible, at least to a certain extent, it is imperative for them to select a healing crystal that brings emotional acceptance and love to each other.
With that, Pink Calcite is the perfect healing crystal to keep things rolling. As a pink gemstone, it naturally caries the power of love and romance which is necessary to keep polar signs from breaking apart.
On top of that, its unique niche lies in its ability to lead its users towards emotional acceptance. In this way, all objections that this couple may have against each other will eventually be washed away as they move forward.
Turquoise
With Aquarius constantly repressing their feelings, blossoming a relationship with them will almost always be as challenging. Coupled with Pisces’ reserved nature, this will prove to be more of a challenge than it already is.
With that, they will need a healing crystal that can bridge the gap between what they know and what they want to say. For this, Turquoise can be a great companion!
Also known as the stone of communication, Turquoise is a healing crystal that plays a vital role in helping couples express their thoughts in a proper way. When we communicate, it is obvious that what’s in our head will not always be relayed properly to the other person. But with the help of this healing crystal, such can be addressed.
Thus, by using this healing crystal as a bodily ornament, it will impart its positive energy. By wearing it as a necklace, this healing crystal will be brought closer to the throat chakra, allowing for better effectiveness!
Onyx
Lastly, the problem with Aquarius and Pisces is that they are often irritated by the smallest of conflicts that they can have. Although they can be a good Yin-Yang couple due to the fact that each other’s strength compensates for the other’s weakness, such can also go the other way around. Thus, when negative energies are prying around them, it can be difficult to say which is which.
With that, Onyx is definitely the perfect healing crystal for them. Known to be a powerful protection stone, Onyx wards off all the unwanted negative energies around us. Like an ancient totem that protects us from evil spirits, this healing crystal can block almost all sorts of negativity that can drain one’s personal energy.
On top of that, it also brings wise decision-making skills inner self-discipline. Aiding in the cultivation of positive skills from the inside, its two-pronged approach is perfect for a holistic kind of development.
