My ascendant, or rising sign, is Aquarius
CafeAstrology page on Aquarius Ascendant
How unique and original Aquarius rising natives come across! These individuals are just that -- individuals, and they won't let you forget that fact. Often turned to for advice, these natives possess intellectual poise and savvy. They often are curious, and quite learned, in both science and metaphysics--anything that involves advancement of the human race holds much appeal.
It's hard to shock an Aquarius rising. They've seen it all, or at least want you to think they have. In fact, they often enjoy shocking others. Not that they are flamboyant by nature, but they do like to, albeit quietly, get a rise out of others. Some natives born with Aquarius on their Ascendant can be quietly provocative and irreverent.
Most people with this Ascendant are quite friendly and likable. Their personality quirks generally go over quite well with others. They generally give others quite a bit of freedom--accepting, as a rule, people from all walks of life as equals. And, their somewhat cool and detached curiosity about all that goes on around them appeals to most.
Curiously, Aquarius rising people can be a little standoffish while also coming across as humanitarian and kind.
Often labeled as independent and original children, Aquarius rising natives often feel a little "different" or "special" throughout life. They often feel like they are on the outside looking in, and their ability to observe and deduce is often uncanny. They're also adept at getting things to work, even when the parts that make up the whole seem like a puzzle with unusual pieces--especially when it comes to groups of people. This sets them apart as managers and team leaders.
The Ascendant often reveals physical mannerisms and even choice of dress, as it shows how people present themselves to the world. With Aquarius here, natives sometimes have a quirkiness to their manner, and some dress in a slightly offbeat manner--not enough to make them stand out like a sore thumb, but just enough to express their original temperament.
Because these people seem so open to new ideas, it may be surprising when you encounter their decidedly stubborn streak. Aquarius is a fixed sign, after all. The ascendant sign shows how individuals react to new situations, and with Aquarius rising, there can be a resistance to change that seems to belie the native's generally progressive nature. There's a distinct inflexibility with Aquarian rising people, and, sometimes, a tendency to want to force their opinions on others.
With their eye to the future of mankind as a whole, some people born with an Aquarius Ascendant overlook the more personal needs of the people closest to them. They are often attracted to partners who possess self-confidence and ardor.
Aquarius Rising and Uranus in Sagittarius
Your Uranus is in Sagittarius: You rebel against all conservative,
life-inhibiting beliefs and philosophies, religious or otherwise,
and you have a streak of self-righteous fanaticism. Changing
people's world-view or are least challenging it - is part of your
life pattern.
This explains my desire to point at people I come across on the Internet or on TV and yell "YOU IDIOTS!"
My midheaven is in Scorpio.
From babybirthchart:
People with Scorpio Midheaven are self-directed and sure of what they want and how to get it. While their desires are clear to them, they can also be ruthless about achieving them. When they push themselves too hard and too far, they become exhausted and feel momentarily powerless. Then they need a safe place to revive and be re-inspired. It's crucial for them to learn how to respond without losing their center and giving away too much of their mental, physical, and emotional reserves.
These people are in touch with basic truths of human existence. This allows them to be genuinely sympathetic towards others. They know the strengths others bring to situations and can inspire them to use their potential. They can also use their understanding of pushing too hard and personal limits to help others who struggle with difficult decisions.
Scorpio Midheaven folks understand the nature of death and other transformations differently from other people. They experience major transitions more intensely than others but know they can survive them well. Their awareness of their darker side allows them to respond to difficult situations skillfully and in an inspiring way.
Since Scorpio is the sign of desire, Scorpio Midheaven people meet resistance in every moment. How they deal with this resistance is important. If they stay attached to getting their way, they will be continually angry and frustrated. However, if they develop the courage to let go of the people, things, and situations they most care about, they can share their strength with others in a way that helps.
Folks with Scorpio Midheaven are at their best when they are balancing their intellectual and feeling sides. They need to be careful not to jump to conclusions too quickly and become angry and aggressive in forcing resolution of difficult situations. They need to see reality clearly for what it is. It also helps if they befriend their deep emotions and give them space without getting overwhelmed by them or using them to dominate others. Scorpio Midheaven's creativity lies in using their courage, determination, and willingness to heal in order to facilitate change.
My descendant is in Leo.
From Astrology.com:
If Leo lies on your Descendant, you're hunting for a mate who is as gregarious and sociable as you, but who possesses the sort of resolute confidence and emotional expressiveness that you sometimes feel you lack. Since you have Aquarius Rising -- a Sign associated with aloof intellectuality and humanitarian interests -- you need a mate who will counter your self-deprecating pride with their own brand of pride -- of a more effervescent, positive variety. You hold your own in the spotlight, assured and well-spoken. When the attention turns to your love life, though, to sharing your most intimate emotions with another person, you run and hide, fearful of being pinned down or caged; and yet you instinctually seek out romantic partners who are steadfast and loyal and who will worship you and spoil you with unconditional support and affection.
My imum coeli is in Taurus. I can't find any resources that can explain that, except for my book on the Zodiac that simply says I am rooted in family values and need security.
