Okay, so I’ve been digging into this whole astrology thing, and I gotta say, it’s kinda fascinating. Today, I decided to focus on my own chart, specifically looking at what it means to be an Aquarius Sun with a Leo Rising. I’ve always felt like a walking contradiction, and I’m starting to think this might explain why.
First, I grabbed my birth chart. You need your exact birth time, date, and location for this, otherwise, it’s all just guesswork. I used to think all that was a little…extra, but hey, accuracy matters, right?
Diving into the Aquarius Sun
So, Aquarius Sun. This basically means my core personality is all about being independent, a bit rebellious, and maybe even a little eccentric. I’ve always valued my freedom and doing things my own way. I’m also a huge fan of humanitarian causes and thinking about the big picture. That part definitely checks out.
- Independent Streak: Yep, I hate being told what to do.
- Rebellious: Always questioning the status quo.
- Humanitarian: I genuinely want to make the world a better place.
- Unique: Sometimes I feel like I am on my own planet, haha.
The Leo Rising Factor
Then there’s the Leo Rising. This is how I apparently come across to other people, my outward persona, the “mask” I wear. Leo is all about being dramatic, confident, and the center of attention. Now, this is where it gets interesting because, internally, I don’t always feel that way. But… I do love to perform, I enjoy being creative, and I definitely have a flair for the dramatic. I try to present myself with confidence, even when I am not really feeling it.
Some of the ways I have noticed this Leo rising influencing me:
- I started dressing with much more confidence, picking out some brighter colors and bolder style choices.
- I volunteered to lead a presentation at work, and I really enjoy it, I really played it up for laughs and engagement.
- I decided to be more open and expressive.
Putting it All Together
The Aquarius Sun, Leo Rising combination is a trip. It’s like having this inner drive to be unique and independent, but also craving attention and validation. I’m constantly battling between wanting to be different and wanting to be liked.I’m still figuring it all out, and it will takes time to find ways to settle the contradictions, but for now, it helps explain some of the internal conflicts that are going on!
This astrology deep-dive is a fun journey. Maybe it’s all nonsense, but it’s also a pretty interesting way to think about myself and how I interact with the world. And honestly, who doesn’t love a good excuse for a little self-reflection?
