What can you tell me about Aquarius rising?Does it have a big influence on a persons chart? My best friend has it and I must say I find her difficult to understand. She can be very warm and equally very detached. Sometimes she just doesnt talk for no apparent reason. IP: Logged |

We've been on vacation before together nd she was okSometimes she will talk for hours and be insightful, others she just ignores you. She is very guarded about her own life and doesnt share much. Even though we are good friends, if you ask her if she would like to do something and she doesnt want to, she just ignores you and wont answer which I find passive aggressive. I wont not be friends with her if she doesnt want to do something and it is quite annoying that she blanks. IP: Logged |

I have an Aquarius Moon friend and I think it works in a similar way.He is very friendly over the phone. You can talk to him about anything and joke around. Really swell fella! In one on one interaction however, he is not so great.And he often wants to be with more than one person; often times I interact with him in a group setting more often than on a one on one basis. I asked him about this and he thought I was making stuff up. So I chose to let it go. Another one works very closely with animal rights groups. And she is a firecracker from a distance-seeming very warm and inviting. So inspiring! When I interacted with her on a more personal basis, she was quite prickly and unpleasant. I found her really difficult to get on with. I think this is the Aquarius effect; Friendly from far .But far from friendly? The former seems to be more responsive to me the less I see of him. And this can be confusing to my Cancer Moon. I have Draconic Asc in Aqua and apparently I also give off this vibe from a soul level. But I have yet to recognize it in myself.

Alone? I should have added that we used to see each other about once every 2-3 weeks and text occasionally between then. It's not as if I'm in her face at all. In fact she opened up to me once that nobody really liked her and she didnt have any friends in college for four years. I am the only friend she does see with any regularity ...she told me this. Maybe that is why she doesnt have many close friends then...because she is remote?

Aquarius rising has the chilly effects of SATURN, non-stop. These people prefer sparse relations that can withstand the rigors of time (these meet approval). Processing new people can be demanding and exhaustive, especially if natal SATURN is badly aspected (particularly to MARS or SUN).On the upside, these natives are oftentimes the type others can admire (from a distance). This is because SATURN is a natural leader, but a terrible empathizer. In modern rulership, URANUS adds a vicious instability that is more heartless than SATURN. SATURN, at least, cares in the end. URANUS is just like "whatever". It requires patience, no getting around it. IP: Logged |

Would an Aquarius moon be similar?

No, I have Aqua rising myself, actually. Nothing personal - just citing the good and the bad. IP: Logged |

Not really. My sister has an Aqua MOON, and she operates differently. She has a Cancer AC, so projects a strong motherly vibe which pairs well with her Taurus SUN-SATURN. Emotionally, she very efficient at cutting someone out of her life if she feels they are a bad influence, or otherwise not worth the trouble. Aqua MOON is more consistent and predictable in their relationships with people, ironically. The MOON is inherently personal, so will always be projected toward people who are close. These natives will always try to treat everyone (who is worthy) as equally as they can. The Aqua MOON does have its own "warmth" about it, and can operate well among large groups of people. Aqua AC is a wildcard, because it's a person's public veneer, and pertains to the individual in the world at large, not just amongst close associates. These people stand out in one way or another, and it's usually because they are standing off to the side just observing everyone at the same time before deciding who to expend energy on. These natives can pick and choose how they "fit" into the grand scheme of things. IP: Logged |

You shouldn't speak for every other Aqua ascendant because you might be that way. People aren't all the same. Ive seen aqua risers who were nothing like that and neither am i. We might have had our other bad traits but these don't apply to us, then again we have placements in leo as well which could change things alot. IP: Logged |

That may be your mitigating factor, because this is my observation based off the other Aqua risers I know very well (at least 3, off the top of my head). Typically standoffish without meaning to be, and (privately) exhausted by people in general. They set their own pace and stick to it. IP: Logged |

As a Aqua Asc myself, i can relate to what both Spongebob and Blind Writer have said.I most definitely need time alone to recharge and enjoy my own little world. I have found that Aquarians in general are very original and artistic people. To an extent, we may be more available from "afar". Sometimes, people who i hardly know are easier to converse with, especially if i feel predisposed by them. We often distance ourself from people we spend more time than we can handle - don't want to get suffocated or tied down. I think Aquas are very freedom-loving and prefer to be self-reliant, so to others this may appear as being detached. It's like they're always available to party and would be friendly with everyone, but not as personally available except to only a few people. Uranus is my main ruler and i can be quite altruistic and more spontaneous, while also appearing as a weird, different person. IP: Logged |

I have a childhood friend like this who is a Scorpio, but I'm reasonably sure is Aquarius rising (or Leo). I identify this pattern of sometimes just not responding as more Scorpio than Aquarius, but I can't think of a single verified Aquarius rising person that I actually know. I have two good friends who are Aquarian (Sun). And yes, the rising sign always has a big influence on the person's chart. It is the part of the chart that frames the entire personality, unless dominance by Sun/Moon clusters dominate elsewhere. The thing is that Aqua types process more, mentally or otherwise, than the rest of us tend to do. Their minds tend to run in simultaneous layers, but sometimes maybe it gets to be too much so they may go silent for internal processing. http://kannonmcafee.wordpress.com/rising-signs-2/#aquarius
