The Rising Sign

First let's take a quick look at your child's Ascendant, or Rising sign. Astrologers want to know what zodiac sign is rising at birth, since this gives a picture of the way we appear or come across to others. We look out upon the world through the glasses of the Rising Sign. Your child's Rising Sign will offer clues as to how your child perceives himself or would like others to see him. Many astrologers consider the Rising Sign as important as the Sun Sign in describing identity. This makes sense, since the Ascendant describes the early childhood experience. From myriad impressions and interactions, the child will weave the tapestry of his unique selfhood. If the Rising Sign is very different from the Sun sign, the child may have to work at integrating diverse aspects of his personality.

The Aquarius Rising child tends to gravitate toward groups. Very social, he communicates best when in a group or when working toward some very worthwhile goal. Idealism is apparent to all who come to know him. An unconventional, rebellious streak may characterize him. Teach your Aquarius Rising child, through story, history, film and experience, the consequences of free will, and the responsibility that accompanies independence. He may need to cultivate patience towards friends who may not match his own quick perception. Your child needs to learn tolerance for the ideas and ways of others if he is to express the virtue of this progressive sign: fraternity. He could feel (or others could perceive him as) somehow different. Perhaps he is ahead of his time! (Saturn and Uranus by house and sign position are especially significant with this placement, and will reveal much concerning the child's future goals and aspirations.)
