LIBRA ASCENDANT
The Ascendant is an astrologically significant point that is calculated using your date of birth, your accurate birth time, and the location of your birth. Your Ascendant or Rising describes you, your body, your nature, and your environment. The element corresponding to your ascendant describes what inspires, motivates, and underlies your core desires. The quadruplicity of an element will provide additional insight into how you relate to the world and how you tend to function.
LIBRA ASCENDANT
You have the cardinal air sign of Libra ruling the degree of your ascendant, which makes you an Libra rising. As an Aquarius rising, you are a futuristic thinker with an alternative personality. You’re comfortable creating and living by your own norms. You’re provocative, altruistic, original, autonomous, broadminded, and unconventional. You’re anything but a conformist or a follower. One of your greatest assets is the ability to be a cutting-edge maverick and approach the world around you with a state-of-the-art mindset. Just because you’re capable of perceiving possibility through advancement doesn’t mean everyone shares this gift. This can make it difficult when you feel you’re up against a system that doesn’t recognize how outdated it is. Where you see change for the masses, others may not have your same sense of vision. You feel happiest when you have the freedom to think for yourself, do what you please, and not be controlled or regulated by the rules imposed by others or society. You thrive in progressive environments that allow you to embrace your uniqueness. At times, you may be more sober, focused, and withdrawn but this is a result of being absorbed and fascinated by your inner world. You’re prone to existential thinking.
With an air-ruled ascendant, you are inspired by and drawn to a life where you’re able to manifest your “ideals” into reality. You’re a bright individual who has an abundance of ideas and wants to make them manifest for the greater good. You’re an architect for advancement. You can envision ‘the new world order’ by which you think it’d be best to live. You want to use your ideas to effect social change. You’re drawn to a very social way of life that allows you to interface, meet, and network with all types of people. Amongst your friends and social network, you are capable of being a thought leader because of your keen intellect and vision. One of the challenges associated with the experience of an Aquarius rising is the tendency to get stuck in your head, ruminating and overthinking problems, and in doing so, you become inaccessible to those around you. One of the positive attributes associated with an Aquarius rising is the sheer ingenuity you’re able to exercise to usher in change for others. Aquarius displays an objective detachment to self-motivated interests and instead turns its focus outward and concentrates on the welfare of humanity. In a way, your efforts can often be perceived as selfless.
With your quadruplicity being fixed, you’ll take action at your own pace and in your way. You like to do things steadily and at your leisure. Once you get started with something, you can become ultra-fixated on toiling until you’re done. This fixation could be a real asset in that you rarely let the ball drop, but it’s important to learn balance so your otherwise solid nature doesn’t become rigidity, stubbornness, or inflexibility. You’re someone who can easily over-work themselves. You can too easily become single-minded, narrowly focused, and unyielding. One of the strengths of having a fixed air ascendant is your ability to synthesize information, use your mind to innovate, think critically, and engineer new possibilities.
