When Uranus, the ruling planet of Aquarius, conjuncts a native’s Ascendant, the main influence it imposes is a rather eccentric character. Such kind of people like living unorthodox lives and move off the beaten path. Their way of thought is rather unconventional, with a lot of rebellious outbreaks. They do not like rules and can even frequently get in trouble with state bureaucracy, mostly because they are careless and do not care about the laws of their country. Uranus conjunct the Ascendant makes the native’s behavior rather weird and chaotic.
Most of the times they are consciously aware of it and enjoy being provocative towards the norms of the society that they live in.

Many times, Uranus rising can create a revolutionary without cause.
The person just has an internal need to confront the system around him, no matter if there is a real need for change. He receives joy from provocation and discord, and even negative comments about him can boost his ego. He likes to be different from the mass and being ostracized is for him a medal reward and not a punishment. Uranus rising people enjoy feeling as heroes of some kind, and constantly fantasize about becoming so in reality.

Usually, people either instantly like them or dislike them; these natives with Uranus conjunct the Ascendant cannot just pass unnoticed. Even if they are frequently parts of big groups of people, they always keep their individuality and prefer to have an air of a lone wolf.
