Your Aquarius Ascendant

Your Aquarius Ascendant indicates that you are an individual with a strong physique (particularly the legs) and a great deal of physical stamina. With an Aquarius Ascendant, you are apt to have a great deal of stubbornness and find it difficult to break undesirable habits and behavior patterns. Independence is a hallmark of your personality and you tend to be highly opinionated. It is almost impossible for others to convince you to change your ideas unless you become convinced on your own that such a change is necessary.

Aquarius indicates intellectual orientation, and most Aquarius Ascendant individuals are likely to possess remarkable mental poise. With an Aquarius Ascendant, you are rarely frightened or affronted by sudden shocks, surprises, or the abnormal and bizarre. Your particular mental orientation gives you an air of detached interest, and as a rule, you remain unaffected and uninfluenced by such social trappings as status, power, and wealth. You are interested in people for their own sake, not their wealth or status. With a minimum of effort you are able to attract many friends and acquaintances.

Aquarius is ruled by Uranus, planet of upheaval and change, as well as by its ancient ruler, Saturn, planet of restriction and structure. Strangely enough these two very different influences can be compatible in the personality of an Aquarius Ascendant individual. There is the strong possibility you will experience at least one or more dramatic changes of direction in your life, many times this happens through some quirk of fortune or circumstance over which you have no control. These changes can occur suddenly and unexpectedly. Though Saturn's influence implies a stable, calm disposition, the influence of Uranus means you are also capable of behaving in quite unexpected ways. It is a mistake to predict what you will do in any given situation. You are often argumentative and love to play devil's advocate. You demand a lot of personal freedom, and when you marry, that need becomes an issue if your marriage partner is too dependent or possessive. You can get restless if there isn't enough in your immediate environment to stimulate you physically or mentally. You are keenly interested in the future and have a great interest in the past, but you can also somehow lose track of what's going on in the present, and as a result, you can appear out of step with the rest of society. This is when you step into the eccentric zone.

You are likely to develop interest in science, sociology, music or design. Financial theory is less interesting than its application. Nervous conditions and stiffness or inflexibility of the bones and joints are some common physical complaints you are likely to experience.
