Okay, so I’ve been diving deep into astrology lately, trying to figure out my whole cosmic blueprint thing. I already knew I was an Aquarius sun – you know, independent, quirky, all that jazz. But I recently got way more curious about my rising sign, and guess what? It’s Leo!
At first, I was like, “Wait, what?” It felt so… opposite. Aquarius is all about being chill and detached, while Leo is, like, the life of the party, craving attention. But the more I thought about it, the more it started to make sense.
So, I started by really observing myself. Like, REALLY paying attention to how I act in different situations. I noticed that yeah, I love my alone time and my weird hobbies (Aquarius!), but I also REALLY enjoy being around people, sharing my ideas, and sometimes, yeah, maybe even showing off a little (hello, Leo rising!).
Digging into How it Works
I dug into some astrology websites and books. It’s all about how your rising sign is the “mask” you wear to the world, the first impression you give. It’s how you come across, even before people get to know the “real” you (your sun sign).
That’s where the Leo comes in. I realized I do have this natural… charisma, I guess? I can be pretty outgoing, and I do like to make an entrance. People tend to remember me, even if I’m not trying to be memorable. That’s the Leo rising at work, putting on a little show.
But inside, I’m still that Aquarius. I still need my space, I still value my individuality, and I still question everything. It’s like having this inner core of detached coolness, but with a warm, sparkly exterior.
Combining it all.
It’s been a cool journey of self-discovery. Here’s what I feel like I am now:
- I can be both the life of the party AND the quiet observer in the corner.
- I can be fiercely independent AND crave connection and appreciation.
- I can be super logical and analytical AND wildly creative and dramatic.
It’s like I’ve got this internal tension, but it’s not a bad thing. It just means I’m… complex, I guess! And honestly, I’m starting to really love that about myself. This whole Aquarius sun, Leo rising thing is turning out to be way more interesting than I ever expected.
It is a bit of a process. It made me know myself better.
