Generally for Aquarians it is difficult to get to an intimate level. But however as there are exceptions for every thing similar is also with this sign, when the moon or Venus are in prominent positions in their birthcharts.When they find the right partner for them they do all their best to keep them happy and also remain truly loyal to them.But at times they end up in a mess because of their strange habits and cold attitude.

They are also at times exhibiting their weak personality of finding difficulty in fighting against emotionally charged situations, though they never have an intention to hurt or escape from the situation. Their quality of natural magnetism and ability to talk their way in or out of anything usually helps and many remain with the partner of their choice for a lifetime. But there are also cases who jump from season to season looking for newer excitement and considering themselves as a devoted partner.
