1st house in Aquarius
A. N. Ryzhov. House Cusps in the Signs
His figure is average and proportionate. He gives the impression of a frail asthenic, but in reality, he is strong-willed. His face is clear and oval. His hair is light and wavy. His gaze is friendly. His eyes are slightly narrowed. His nose is thin. His neck is long. His lips are shaped like a bow. — Daoism.

An aerostat strives for the sky while remaining on the ground and is held in the rarefied air of the upper atmosphere. A person with an Ascendant in Aquarius perceives the external world and themselves in a detached, mental way; they are interested in original thoughts and the people who express them. When developed, this person is interesting, likely holding quite unconventional views that often do not align with generally accepted ones. Freedom and independence in self-expression are not a whim for them but a vital necessity, which is why living with them (or loving them) is not easy. They may confuse friendship with love, but if the 1st house and Aquarius are not severely afflicted, they do not like to sever relationships completely and always consider that, even when parting, they remain friends. Like those with an Ascendant in Gemini, they may create a cold impression, but this may not be the case (in such matters, the Moon or Venus are more important than the 1st house). Their usual way of expressing feelings is quite detached: they tend to treat a beloved being in a purely friendly manner and give not flowers but rather unromantic books, though not the kind found in Pisces, and the same calculation applies when it is in Capricorn and unrefined. This person is dissatisfied with the present—neither the world nor themselves—and at a high level of development, their personality, with its original mental ideas, can change both. At a low level, they are eccentrics who poorly understand the world and even worse understand themselves, stubborn in their antics and fond of science fiction.

They have a strong, stable character with traits that change little. They approach new endeavors firmly and strive to see them through to the end. New undertakings emerge only through contact with people, involving many changes and adjustments. Independence, sociability, and originality are characteristic. They tend to assess the external world and themselves in a detached, mental way. Freedom and independence in self-expression are a vital necessity. There may be a tendency toward reformist, unconventional activities. Sometimes there is a desire to attract attention and surprise others. Opponents are active, with wounded self-esteem, vain, and egocentric. They need to learn to respect social and moral norms, abandon empty provocation, and cultivate higher qualities within themselves.

{The rising sign, or 1st house, is the sector of space (sign) located directly above the eastern part of the horizon at the moment of a person’s birth. The rising sign provides much information about a person’s appearance and behavioral traits. In many respects, the rising sign has a greater influence than the signs in which the Sun or Moon were located at the time of birth. Knowing the rising sign gives much preliminary information about the character of the entire horoscope and the general makeup of a person’s character. It is depicted as a woman carrying a pitcher, symbolizing one who serves and bears a heavy burden. Since this sign is associated with the element of Air, a person born under this sign tends to engage in activities related to ideas and concepts; such people are often found singing or reciting something that carries a message. They may write well or excel as teachers. These are very attractive people; often their manner of behavior is strange and unusual. They can be difficult to understand, or they may be found among people who belong to some cult or among philosophers adhering to a particular school of thought. Their health is often weak; they are less psychologically resilient than others. People perceive them as innocent and unpretentious. They are kind-hearted, love to do good for others. Externally, they are tall and slender or short and full-figured, with dark hair, a pleasant expression in their eyes, and prominent veins. They have good intelligence, are talkative, love to keep up with current events, enjoy nature or places adorned with flowers and fragrances. They love to travel and often appear tired, as if returning from a distant journey. Marital relationships may be clouded by anxiety and uncertainty. They enjoy sports and entertainment but can patiently perform difficult work. Sometimes they seem preoccupied, but their smile is pleasant, and overall, they are modest, simple people. These people have a creative streak and are best suited to be mystics. They often have a weakness for ancient things and old customs and may study history. They are poetic and do not impose themselves on others. In fact, they hesitate to take on a leadership position. On the negative side, they may be characterized by stinginess and secret sinful habits. Overall, the character of “Aquarius” people is kind and interesting, and their careers are changeable.

AQUARIUS — free and independent self-expression. Despite friendliness and outward warmth, their attitude toward the surrounding world is detached—observant and mentally cool, with many ideas about its improvement. Life is a game for them! Unconventional thinking and unusual behavior make the person incomprehensible to others.

Transformation of the surrounding world — depiction of the surrounding world. Original, creatively independent, driven by desires. They wish to contribute to a shared cause. They enjoy jokes, pleasures, and contacts. They are kind, modest, and dislike drawing attention to themselves. They desire to be loved rather than admired. They draw their strength from collective activities within a close circle of friends. Tolerance, duty, humanity, openness, sociability, ideals, creativity, constructive abilities, understanding of people, adaptability, wealth of ideas, reformism. Variable mood, lack of perseverance, goals that frequently change. A forward-looking person, progressive, you support changes, innovations, the pursuit of progress, and are often associated with something humanitarian, with the improvement of society. You are keenly aware of the interconnection and interdependence among all people and always align personal motives with a larger structure. You see the political or social significance of your actions and dream of leaving a mark in the world or at least in your community or group. Your worldview and approach to life are colored by ideals of equality, justice, brotherhood, human rights, and so on. You are genuinely interested in the common good rather than solely your own. Sometimes you may overlook or ignore personal needs, desires, and feelings — yours and others’ — especially if they do not align with your ideals of how one should feel or act. Although you do not tolerate conservative narrow-mindedness, you can sometimes be dogmatic in your views and ideology. You are drawn to everything advanced, the latest achievements of human thought and development, and your tastes are eclectic and cosmopolitan. You would rather call yourself a “citizen of the world” than advocate narrow, limited interests of a race, nation, people, or family. Your upbringing was more influenced by the interests of peer groups than by parental or family influence. You are actively engaged in groups, communities, cultural, and progressive movements. In personal relationships, you are friendly and show others an almost impersonal goodwill. You likely have many acquaintances but very few truly close people, and your closeness with others is based on shared ideals and principles rather than emotional bonds. Others see you as a good friend and companion — objective, fair, emotionally detached. You rarely express your emotions and may struggle to respond to the emotions of others, as you tend to be highly rational. You are also very independent and avoid being at someone’s disposal. You are at odds with traditional views on sex; you are more inclined toward “free” perspectives on marriage, relationships, shared responsibility in child-rearing, and so on. You feel the need for a life beyond the personal and domestic sphere, engaging with a wide circle of people. Maintaining family ties, close, deep, personal relationships may take a backseat for you, coming after work or public matters.
