My bestie Cancer has been dating an Aqua for like 7 months. Already moved states to live together etc. They have been in HEAVEN... but now shes texting me daily like "this MF is on my last nerve". She is obsessed with him but they are butting heads bad. I know air and water is MEHHHHH. Is Aquarius a little easier than say Libra or Gemini?

He is in the reserves and just got deployment orders in August for a year. I know shes freaking out.

Hm, looks like your friend may be a little too "clingy" for the Aqua guy. From his placement's he may be more laid back in his approach to love. He's an Aqua and needs his freedom, so he probably emotionally attached.

Aqua's Taurus Moon also suggests that he is more laid back, not looking to create drama and seeking overall comfort. She on the other hand is probably looking for a relationship to nurture. She's looking for a partner who can emotionally express and share with her. She wants to build and nurture the relationship together. Her emotional depth and possible moodiness is probably jarring for him. She wants to express emotionally and he wants to lay back and chill. He is also ill-equipped to handle her emotions, which she won't understand.

Their Venus signs seem compatible, looking to build a love based on fun and communication. They can talk each other's ears off about a variety of topics. In this way they can keep each other intellectually stimulated, which is important to both sun signs. That however is enough for the Aqua, but not the Cancer.

Also the Cancer's approach (Mars) will be one of fairness while his again will be more ephemeral. They are both kind, but she may find his approach irritating. She can be indecisive about her pursuit, as can he. They are both easy going, but she may find herself catering to him more, while he may not feel his reciprocation. This will unbalance her (fair is fair after all). He isn't big on aggressive encounters either, but if he lacks direction in some way, he may get irritable. This is a sign that can be prone to passive aggressive anger, which will be met then be reciprocated by her Mars in Libra.

So looks like the biggest issues will be misunderstood emotions, passive aggressive behavior, with spurts of vocal annoyance at one another's approach. They don't want to harm each other, but they may drain each other due to their own person needs.
