Aquarius and Leo rising: its meaning

Aquarius and Leo Ascendant in your horoscope

Aquarius and Leo occupy opposite parts in the zodiacal wheel. With such a combination of Sun and Ascendant signs, you constantly try to strike a balance between Aquarius' aspiration to free itself from social conditioning and from the needs of its ego, on the one hand, and Leo's will to forcefully and passionately assert its creative individualism, on the other hand. In all circumstances, you remain optimistic and you rely on your ability to take up the challenges facing you.

Owing to your Leo Ascendant, when you are in society, you are concerned about the image you project, and you manage to earn people's admiration and respect. However, this need for recognition clashes with your Aquarius, which is deeply attached to its independence and indifferent to people's opinion, hence the reputation as a dropout and eccentric person.

Your ethereal and elusive nature disconcerts those who saw only your Leo mask, definitely endearing and colourful, but quite different from your true self.

Honesty and constancy in ideas and actions, along with audacity and generosity, are nevertheless the qualities these two signs have in common. As a result, all these very different facets enable you to keep your equilibrium easily and endow you with irresistible and, at the same time, strange charming powers.

The Ascendant and the Sun in sign

If you have a doubt about your sign or your Ascendant, you can get it immediately.

The rising sign, i.e. the sign which crosses the eastern horizon at the moment of birth, is a major element of the natal chart because it describes our general behaviour and our outward appearance and indicates how people perceive us when they meet us for the first time.

It is important to grasp the difference between the Ascendant sign - the rising sign - and the Sun sign, i.e., the sign in which the Sun is posited at the moment of birth. Unlike the Ascendant, the Sun sign refers to the deepest part of us which is more genuine but less accessible because it is meant for our friends and relatives only.

Your Sun sign is Aquarius, which means that it is only when people know you well that your Aquarius traits become obvious. They may be different from your outward appearance, which is influenced by your Ascendant sign.

Your Ascendant sign is Leo, which means that, at first glance, people feel the influence of Leo on your outward appearance It may be different from your inner self, which defined by your Sun sign.
