All About Aquarius Rising in Esoteric Astrology

  After the determination and world-building of Capricorn Rising, we come to the fascinating and Fixed sign of Aquarius.

  Aquarius is an intriguing sign in Esoteric Astrology, and this is mainly because of its Fixed and intellectual aspect. Esoteric Astrology is very much about the soul, so what happens when you have a Rising sign which is very intellectual and also Fixed – stubborn – in nature?

  This is a thing about the soul mission. Esoteric Astrology believes that we are evolving from instinct into intuition, and the process we use to get there is through the intellect.

  The rational mind and the intuitive mind are often at loggerheads with one another. The Age of Enlightenment, for example, brought with it a transition into science and rational thought. Still, it also resulted in what we see with modern-day society: prioritizing the rational mind and a general disregard of the intuitive one.

  “The intuitive mind is a sacred gift, and the rational mind is a faithful servant. We have created a society which honors the servant and has forgotten the gift.” – Albert Einstein.

  So how does this relate to our Aquarius Rising friend?

  

Aquarius Rising: Let Love Flow Freely

Aquarius is known as the “water-carrier” for a good reason. After Capricorn has managed to build a spiritual mission on earth through persistent, Cardinal steps, it is Aquarius Rising’s job to enable the spiritual waters to flow through the world for humanity’s benefit.

  In other words, an Aquarius Rising soul is here to help the world progress to a more utopian state using their intellect and compassion and learning to differentiate when an existing structure needs to stay or should be broken up.

  It is a challenging job for Aquarius Rising, who is, all in all, a sign of intellect.

  This does not mean they do not have emotions; on the contrary, their emotions run deep. It is just that they filter through the intellect and, to them, the benefit of humanity must be done on an intellectual level. Hence, Aquarius is a sign of civilization and progression. Now that we are in the Age of Aquarius, we can see how typical Aquarius qualities are coming to light: individuality, freedom, breaking down hierarchies, equality, and humanitarianism.

  We can see how astrology, magic, and the occult are resurrecting. These are very Aquarian topics, for they represent spiritual practices that are understood and enhanced upon by the intellect.

  The greatest challenge for Aquarius Rising is not getting too caught up in their own head and intellect.

  They need to remember the famous Einstein quote written above (in fact, it could have been written for them!) Intellectualism is a path to intuition; it is not the finishing line itself. When an Aquarius Rising can achieve this balance and use their intellect for the highest good, they reach the pinnacle of their soul purpose.

What Ray is Aquarius Functioning On?

Aquarius Rising is functioning on the 5th Ray of Concrete Knowledge. This is the ray that occurs through scientific research so that the Divine Plan can be revealed.

  Therefore, an Aquarius Rising will often find themselves drawn towards the sciences and experimentation.

  A highly-evolved 5th Ray person will be capable of exploring the prospect of proving metaphysical aspects of reality through science. This is especially true for Aquarius Rising as they are operating purely on the 5th Ray (other signs may operate on several rays at one time).

  This is the person who will seek to prove astral projection through scientific means. It is the person who will “study the soul” and conduct hours of research in an attempt to prove their theories. It is the person who will explore the spirit world and analyze their findings, conducting surveys and delving into the subconscious mind to discover more.

  Of course, not all Aquarius Rising go into the sciences!

  Remember, a soul is always evolving, and an Aquarius Rising may spend many lives in a battle between instinct and intellect before the soul feels ready to venture into the realm of the esoteric.

  Jupiter rules Aquarius Rising in Esoteric Astrology, which signifies their benevolent desire to uplift and transform humanity.

  

How to Spot an Aquarius Rising

Aquarius is the sign of the individual, so as you can imagine, they will possess very individualistic qualities at first glance!

  

Unique Look

An Aquarius Rising does not look like everybody else – and they’re not afraid to show it! In Traditional Astrology, the ruler of Aquarius is Uranus, and it shows. You will often find similarities between an Aquarius Rising and a Uranus Rising (Uranus in the 1st house).

  They may have some facial feature that somehow works for them, giving them a unique beauty type. Uranus Rising, Oliver Cromwell, for example, had warts on his face, yet he was universally admired.

  Aquarius Rising will always have a unique and head-turning dress-sense. You cannot miss these people in the crowd!

  

People-Oriented

Aquarius Rising are sociable people. Aquarius rules the 11th house, the House of Friendship and Humanity. These people are keen to discuss ideas and share them. They may come across as aloof at times, but a big heart beats beneath their breast.

  They are friendly in a rather detached way.

Rebellious

Everyone with Aquarius Rising is seen as a rebel in one way or another – it’s simply something they cannot get out of! This is because Aquarius is the sign of the mover-and-shaker, who changes the status quo – the one who questions established authority and does something to move things in a new direction.

  Life is never dull with these people around!

  

Eccentric

Others see an Aquarius Rising as being different, even eccentric!

  Their ideas may be unusual or out-of-the-norm. They are the ones that stand up and go against the grain. Others may either respect them or dismiss them, but with an Aquarius Rising, they march to the beat of their own drum!

  

Intelligent

Aquarius Rising comes across as very clever. They are keen to share their ideas and eager to hear yours.

  Aquarius Rising is an intellectual who loves to get their mind in gear. You will never have a dull conversation with them. There will always be something exciting and new to discuss.

  

Are You an Aquarius Rising?

If you are an Aquarius Rising, then your mission is a special one. You are here to uplift humanity through progression, through the concepts of equality and humanitarianism, and using your heightened intellect for the greater good.

  You are paving the way for the zodiac’s final sign, Pisces Rising, the sign of Universal love and compassion. Harnessing your keen mind for humanity’s benefit is an ongoing challenge you face, and it is one you will reach so long as you remain true to yourself and your values.

  Remember, you are the rebel, the mover and shaker, and the one who will bring the necessary change. You are a challenger of the status quo and a champion of humanity. This quote is for you:

  “Here’s to the crazy ones, the misfits, the rebels, the troublemakers, the round pegs in the square holes … the ones who see things differently—they’re not fond of rules, and they have no respect for the status quo. … You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them, but the only thing you can’t do is ignore them because they change things. … They push the human race forward, and while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius, because the people who are crazy enough to think that they can change the world, are the ones who do.” – Steve Jobs.
