About this entry

Adams 1928 gives the sign an air of remoteness and compares the bearing to an elder brother. Lilly 1659 and Raphael's Guide 1877 are more ordinary and speak of a strong body of middling height with a long face. Which planet rules it affects how this rising is read, and the dispute between Saturn and Uranus is laid out on the sign's own page.

Getting this sign at all depends on a birth time written down when the birth happened. Modern popular astrology presents the rising Aquarius as friendly and slightly detached, and the remoteness in Adams is the nearest older match.
