With this ascendant Aquarius occupies the 4th, which governs home, mother, property and inner peace and is an angle (kendra). Aquarius adds independence, ideals and an interest in groups. Moon signifies this house by nature, so its condition adds to the picture. The same lord, Saturn, owns the 3rd too, tying the two houses together.

Its dignity here: in an enemy's sign, ruled by Saturn. Friction with the sign lord can slow its results. Planets very near the Sun become combust; Mercury is always within one sign of it and Venus within two, so check their distance.

Which nakshatra: Aquarius in parts

The degree matters too: Aquarius is divided between these nakshatras, whose lords bring their Scorpio-rising houses into play:

• 0°–6°40′ Aquarius: Dhanishta, under Mars, which for Scorpio rising rules the 1st and 6th, so work, health and rivals enter the reading; its gift is rhythm and abundance, its shadow materialism.

• 6°40′–20° Aquarius: Shatabhisha, ruled by Rahu, which adds restless ambition; for work it points to healing, medicine, research, technology, astronomy and water.

• 20°–30° Aquarius: Purva Bhadrapada, under Jupiter, which for Scorpio rising rules the 2nd and 5th, so children, intelligence and romance enter the reading; for work it points to occult, philosophy, crisis work, research and causes.
