Those with an Aquarius Ascendant can be idealistic in their thought processes. There's a way things should be, and shouldn't be. Why isn't the world fair and equal? Nevertheless, they develop many ideas to participate actively and shape their environment, because they instinctively know that nothing is worse than stagnation.
They draw the attention of others through their creative and intelligent spirit, but aren't likely to enjoy the limelight. They don't consistently implement their ideas because they don't enjoy being the main focus of attention.
Aquarius is ruled by Uranus, also known as the god Ouranos, in Greek mythology. Ouranos was the original great father of the sky who mated with mother Earth, Gaia to give rise to the Titans and future gods.
Aquarius Ascendant Motto and Looks
Aquarius Ascendant people attach great importance to individuality and free self-development . They don't want to be subordinate to the masses, and they certainly don't want to adhere to rigid, and often outdated, rules. Having to submit to others contradicts their self-confidence, and is why they often feel like they are outsiders of society, and watch people from a distance. At the same time, they love and covet their independence and flexibility.
Their motto is "I elevate," meaning they have such high ideals that they make anything and everything greater than it is. They implement plans and make projects shine. They truly have the highest of ideals.
They are often very tall, with dark hair and blue or green eyes. They can have very sculpted features, making them very handsome or beautiful. They don't put on weight easily, as food is never really the center of their universe. They dress eccentrically with purples and pinks, blues, greens, yellows and oranges.

It is difficult for Aquarius Ascendants to commit themselves wholeheartedly to someone that doesn't "get them" in relationships. However, if you let Aquarius Ascendant people enjoy their emotional, physical, and psychological freedom, they can be loyal and loving partners. Keep in mind, though, that they are the most emotionally detached of all the Zodiac signs.
They are very friendly and open-minded when dealing with others but can be unattached. The fear of losing their individuality and independence is always at the root of their decisions. If they think they are overly committed to anything, from events to people, they quickly feel threatened and withdraw.
