hen Aquarius in The 1-th House
Aquarius on the ascendant is generally less favorable than other signs.
First, because most people don't understand or appreciate the nature of
Aquarius. Second, there is generally less use or need for Aquarians in the
everyday world. Aquarians are a special kind of people given to independent
viewpoints on life that invariably do not fit in with accepted modes of
thinking. The mass of humanity looks with disfavor on those who deviate
from what everyone else is doing or thinking. This quality may indicate a
degree of brilliance, if not to say genius, on the Aquarians' part, but it stirs up
such a frightful resentment that it is difficult for the native both to do his
thing and hold his own at the same time. Fortunately this doesn't seem to
bother Aquarians, but it does put rocks in their path. One must remember
that we are talking about the ascendant and one's public image—this is the
native as the world sees him/her on the surface. The personality is what
shows. As might be imagined, there is less good in having something showing
on the surface that causes misunderstandings from the start and turns other
people against the native before he even has a chance to prove his value.
The Aquarian conception is an indispensable part of the universal picture.
But it never works as effectively when it shows to its worst advantage as
when it cuts loose on an end play and makes an uninterrupted run for it
before those who would suppress it are aware of what has happened.
hen Pisces in The 1-th House
The Pisces type, like the Aquarian, is not an everyday kind of person. In
his case the native is in touch, or gives the appearance of being in touch,
with a realm of consciousness that is not given by everybody else. This is the
realm of the subconscious and constitutes the inner values we have and the
ultimate value structures we may need in life. Eveyone has inner values, but
not everyone is as closely in touch with them as the Pisces type. In Pisces
there is a deeper conviction and a reference to the role that our inner
motivations play every day. Self-realization is of prime importance, and it is
therefore essential for the native to spend a good deal of time by
him/herself. Often this sign denotes involvement or strong interest in music
or another form of art.
