Hello all, welcome back to the next sign in the ascendant zodiac series – the airy Aquarius. Have you ever had coworkers or friends or family member having such an out of the box personality that you may find difficult to relate to them at times? You might be in the presence of an aquarian ascendant person. Or maybe you are one. Lets talk about these visionaries and get to know them some more.
Starting with their physical appearance. Aquarius is the natural 11th sign, being odd numbered masculine in nature. This many a times gives such people tall, leaner body structure with sharp features. Like their predecessors Capricorn, this sign is also traditionally ruled by Saturn. So physical attributes pertaining to Saturn being the lagna lord might be shared between the two ascendants. But overall the two signs could not be more different.
Aquarius is an air fixed sign. What I mean by that is, it belongs to the air element and that makes such people extremely curious and mentally active people. This is the most humanitarian and futuristic sign in the entire zodiac belt. Their need to learn and give back to the society is so high that at times they might lose track of the practicality of issues. Like other air signs, these people love to think and analysis issues and situations. But unlike, gemini and libra their thoughts are mostly consumed with social reforms, what goes on in the world and how to improve it. Since the natural 11th is all about the society and larger network, these people are all about the collective.
Even though this is a big time requirement especially in todays time, being so much involved in the collective they might lose touch of their individuality. They might at times, not pay attention to their own or their dear ones needs and requirements because they are so busy looking out for the society. Being an air sign, they might not be in touch with their emotions that much and would rather analyze their feelings than actually feel them. I have noticed that this is a pretty common theme with air predominant people.
Having this sign in the ascendant, just brings out all these qualities to the surface. You might be able to hide or mask your moon sign but you can never hide your ascendant. This is the sign that comes out as soon as you step out of your home/comfort area. An aquarius ascendant most definitely will come out to be this philanthropic humanitarian who always wants to look out for the needy, underprivileged, under-dogs of the world. Now how they may act about it might differ based on their other planetary placements but this tone always remains.
Being a fixed sign, Aquarius ascendant get the fixed signs in their kendra placements of 1-4-7-10th houses. Even though they have this airy, free spirit they do not like changes in many aspects of their life unlike their other air counterparts. Ruled by Saturn, they like routine and structure. They are a little less uptight about it than Capricorns but they enjoy the regular activities.
Another characteristic that I feel does not come up that often with an Aquarius person is their secretive nature. People always associate secrecy and private activities with Scorpio but I would like to mention here that Aquarius can be very secretive about their own life. Sure they talk and love to know about the world, but you will always notice that they rarely will disclose details about their life and inner feelings. I believe, this can be attributed to the fact that Saturn the ruler of lagna also rules the 12th house of the unconscious mind and hidden things. Maybe somehow these people feel that they need to protect their life from the damage the world can do until they are ready for it and so put in their best effort to hide it.
12th house is all about, letting go, complete dissolution and the unconscious realm, something not from this world. The lagna lord co-ruling the 12th house might result in these people never fully trusting another person. It might be difficult for such people to allow themselves to give in to another person and probably why they might some hardships in forming relationships.
But Saturn even though delays things, if worked on consistently will always give long lasting success be it in career, home, relationships or any materialistic possession. For all the aquarius ascendants out there, all I would like to say is try trusting the world a little. I know we all need to be cautious of our surrounding in this present day and age, but we need to trust that in the end, all that is good and necessary is what will happen. If these ascendants are able to utilize their 1st and 12th house energies they can open up a whole new universe for them which can set them free.
Hopefully these unconventional visionaries will find all the strength they need to lead this world in a positive direction. That’s all for now. Will be back with the last ascendant in the series the imaginative Pisces. Stay tuned…
