Venus in Aquarius

Aquarius is fixed air, ruled traditionally by Saturn and in modern astrology by Uranus. Venus here treats a partner as a friend first and resists the standard script for how a relationship is supposed to look. These people are drawn to the unusual, are loyal in their own fashion and need a good deal of independence. The cost is distance, since closeness is kept at a manageable temperature, and a principle about how love ought to work can matter more than the person in front of them.
