THE ASCENDANT IN AQUARIUS
Aquarius ascending is like having a fixed sign on your presentation card, many people still ask me if Aquarius is a water sign, but no, Aquarius belongs to the air quadruplicity, Aquarius is the container, because it contains the water, and the water bearer which is also its symbol is the one who dispenses it.
And so Aquarius acts, do not expect great emotions or tears of introduction, Aquarius is furthermore ruled by Saturn, and just like Capricorn, it presents itself in a controlled manner, but without the need for reserve of this one, the Ascendant in Aquarius shows a great capacity to organize ideas that come from the collective, and many have the ability to give them concrete form and even work with it, it is therefore a sign that can be identified with organized groups, with associations of ideas or people.
It happens that it belongs to the fixed triplicity, and like all fixed signs, remember Leo and Taurus are also included, they become strong in concepts, ideas or concrete situations, affirming their will and their life around it.
Aquarius ascendant is born with the cosmic gift of ego detachment in its personality, but it also makes it prone to become interested in those individuals or situations that have important specific weight, for example, if it belongs to the Leo sign, it will seek a partner or a companion that acts as a point of reference.
This ascendant with a properly positioned Saturn, well-disposed and free of tensions, can achieve much, will have the ability to organize, control and frame, and can even present something of that squared way of expressing itself in its own physiognomy, Aquarius ascendant is the sign most prone to being of a square type.
If Uranus has aspects of tension, and especially if these are with the sun, it will be an original individual, from whom we should not expect concrete behavior, it will have ruptures with previous archetypes and its line will be unique and personal, above all it will not take into account the advice of the preceding authority.
When the musical sense appears reflected in other places of the horoscope, this ascendant is perfect for belonging to a music group, because it has everything, a structured sense of order, and the ability to integrate into a group without needing to be the director.
Its inventive capacity can be very great, especially because its thinking is not subject to social norms, it loves to leave the beaten path and check other options, if Jupiter is well-disposed in its natal theme, it will be able to mentally get ahead and pre-configure ideas that perhaps cannot be put into value in the present, but which will surely show themselves later.
Its attitude can pivot between the greatest conservatism to the expression of the new and futuristic, the issue is to show itself different, not the cause, so, in a conservative group, it will be the one with the hippie aspect and in a progressive one dressed in a suit and tie.
If its interests are spiritual, it has many opportunities to belong to a group of selfless aid, and its capacity for fraternity will be of value.
