The Aquarius likes to look at things from every possible point of view.
They are not quick to judge others and pride themselves on their understanding of personalities.
They enjoy being in the company of others who behave this way as well.
An Aquarius will think very highly of you if you are open-minded and welcoming to all walks of life.
There is nothing that makes them happier than seeing others get along and feel accepted.
If they have this mindset about how you act towards others, you can imagine that they appreciate it, even more, when it’s directed towards them.
The Aquarius will take a while to open up to you but once they do they expect you to be non-judgemental.
7. Freedom
The Aquarius loves their independence and freedom regardless of their relationship to you.
The quickest way to make an Aquarius happy is to let them march to the beat of their own drum.
They are a unique zodiac sign and enjoy doing things their own way.
That doesn’t mean they won’t bring you along for the ride, but you’ll probably notice that it’s their way or the highway.
Give the Aquarius in your life freedom to make their own decisions and they’ll be on cloud nine.
8. Friendships
While Aquarius is one of the toughest signs in the zodiac to crack, they do value their connections.
It might take forever and a day to get them to open up to you but once they do know that you truly mean something to them.
They are hesitant to let others into their life so if you made the cut you should feel pretty special.
Keep in mind that an Aquarius is the type of person who will stay in your life forever.
They value long-term commitments and friendships.
