Okay, so I’ve been diving deep into astrology lately, trying to figure out my whole cosmic blueprint thing. I’m a Scorpio Sun, which I kinda already knew – intense, passionate, you know the drill. But then I found out my rising sign is Aquarius, and I was like, “Wait, what?” That’s like fire and air, total opposites!
So, I started digging. First, I pulled up my birth chart on one of those free websites. You just need your birth date, time, and place. Super important to get the time right, otherwise, the rising sign could be totally off. I double-checked with my mom, thankfully she remembered!
Once I had my chart, I started researching what it means to have a Scorpio Sun and an Aquarius rising. I read a bunch of articles and forum posts. It was kind of overwhelming at first, all this astrology jargon.
Basically, from what I gathered, the Sun sign is your core personality, your ego, your basic identity. So, being a Scorpio Sun, I’m naturally drawn to deep stuff, I value loyalty, and I can be pretty private. I don’t share my whole life story in five minutes and you might even say I am mysterious…
Then there’s the rising sign, or ascendant. This is supposed to be how you come across to people, your first impression, your outer shell. And Aquarius? It’s all about being independent, unconventional, a little bit rebellious, even. They’re the humanitarians, the free thinkers.
Putting the Pieces Together
It took me a while to wrap my head around how these two energies work together. I started thinking about how I act in different situations.
- First Impressions: I realized that I often come across as aloof or detached at first. People probably see that Aquarius coolness before they get to the Scorpio intensity underneath.
- Socially: I do value my close friendships deeply (Scorpio!), but I also have a wide circle of acquaintances and enjoy connecting with people from all walks of life (Aquarius!).
- My Interests: I’m drawn to dark, mysterious topics (Scorpio!), but I also love exploring new ideas and challenging the status quo (Aquarius!). I enjoy debating, not to win necessarily but it is more like a sport and pass time.
It’s like I have this internal tension between wanting to be deeply connected and needing my own space. I can be fiercely loyal to my friends, but I also need to feel like I’m free to do my own thing.
I’m still figuring it all out, to be honest. It’s not like there’s one definitive answer. But understanding this Scorpio Sun, Aquarius rising combo has helped me make a little more sense of myself. It’s like, “Oh, okay, that’s why I do that!” It gives words to some feelings that always there.
I even started keeping a journal, just jotting down observations about how I react to things, how I interact with people. It’s been surprisingly helpful. Kind of like my own personal astrology experiment!
