Aquarius & Pisces Compatibility: A Nice Experiment Whilst It Lasts!

Let’s take a quick look at the compatibility between Aquarius and Pisces although the title sums it up.

Aquarius, a fixed Air sign: Symbol – a young attractive water bearer

Pisces mutable Water sign: Symbol – two fishes swimming in opposite directions

Aquarius interests: Groups, technology, photography, politics, new age theories, reinventing society

Pisces interests: Music, acting, painting, designing, photography, daydreaming about escaping life’s responsibilities

Compatibility rating: 2/10

But if Pisces is female (or more effeminate) or if Pisces is male (or more masculine), 5/10.

A Not-Too-Serious Outlook on the Pairing – Aquarius & Pisces Compatibility

Perhaps the Water Bearer met the Fish at a state fair, where Aquarius was busy protesting the carnival’s cruel “win a goldfish” stall – only to end up rescuing one and taking it home as a revolutionary act of humanitarian mercy.

Or maybe Aquarius worked there for the summer, saw the sad little plastic bag prize glinting under fluorescent lights, and thought, “I’ll liberate this fish and give it a better life… in my recycled mason jar aquarium.

Aquarius, you may have thought: “Fish do fine alone, but they’re docile enough to keep in pairs and groups.” Sounds perfect, right?

Plus, their short life span suits your experimental dating style.

They’re inexpensive, easy to keep, quiet, undemanding, and unlikely to short-circuit your latest tech.

Well, if you don’t spill their bowl.

What’s not to love?

You probably thought they’d be the perfect accessory for your living space. But your first mistake was underestimating Pisces.

Pisces isn’t just a fish. They’re an entire ecosystem. They feel everything, sense everyone’s vibes, and need gentle nurturing, not just clean water and occasional flakes of affection.

You might’ve popped Pisces into your mental aquarium with your other “species” (friends, causes, work projects), forgetting that some fish will fight with or even eat each other.

Social compatibility isn’t plug-and-play, Aquarius – even for you.

And the fact Pisces came as a pair but you only kept one?

Red flag.

Pisces are inseparable from their environment and emotional connections. They need more attention than advertised on their label at the pet store.

Did you rescue Pisces as a prize to show off at your next virtual meeting? Or did you purchase Pisces to study their spiritual anatomy for your next self-help podcast episode?

Either way, hopefully you gave them away to a friend rather than used them in your psychological dissection experiment.

Your Relationship, Aquarius, with a Pisces

Aquarius and Pisces are neighbours on the zodiac wheel – like two apartments in the same building with completely different décor themes. One is minimalist futuristic silver, the other is boho mermaid grotto with Himalayan salt lamps everywhere.

However, together, you raise eyebrows. People wonder what you see in each other. Maybe Pisces was in their “independent mermaid” phase when you met, gliding gracefully through life’s currents.

But when Pisces loses their bearings, becomes disorganized, or needs real emotional assistance, Aquarius, you often vanish like a push notification they swipe away. You’re brilliant at advocating for humanity, but when someone gets too close, you forget they’re part of humanity, too.

Everything feels fine when you’re both financially secure and chasing your goals. But hit turbulent waters, and suddenly your once poetic ocean dream becomes an unsolvable riddle wrapped in kelp.

Perhaps you tried, but Pisces pushed you away with their confusing emotional tides. Either way, this pairing presents challenges.

Positives: Easy access – you start off as friends, or meet through mutual creative circles. Pisces is magical when “in character,” and your connection feels like an arthouse film montage.

Negatives: Claustrophobia. Emotional chaos. Pisces’ subtle self-promotion might make you feel used for your contacts or ideas. Plus, when crisis hits, neither of you quite knows what to do with your emotions.

Advice: Understand what you’re getting into, and communicate your expectations before you buy the fish. Remember: relationships aren’t experiments. They’re ecosystems.
