Sometimes showing the world who you really are is not easy, and sometimes the world may not respond as you had hoped! It's helpful to take a look at the differences and similarities between the attitudes, impressions and images you project and the person who resides at the core of your being.
With your Sun in Aquarius you are a woman whose spirit forges into the realm of the unusual. As an individual you are unique, and you may pride yourself on the things that make you different from everyone else. But you also have a strong desire to connect to those who are like minded, and may count your friends as your most significant blessings. Since your Sun speaks of "who you think you are," you need to realize that your powerful mind, which can be strongly focused, is your link to your future, and that you are the creator of that future.
Your Ascendant is the face you present to the world, and shows how others see you.
Your Ascendant, or rising sign, is Scorpio. Through this quality you project an aura of intrigue, and may not like to be the center of attention. Even if you are comfortable with attention, you are not comfortable with a loss of privacy and may have secrets from even your closest friends and companions. Your gaze may be intense, as though you are looking through someone - which you just might be, since you are likely to be quite perceptive.
With the energy of Pluto and your rising sign in Scorpio, your intensity can be much more powerful than you realize. Your awareness of underlying energy can be amazing. Others may be drawn to you because they sense your psychic energy. Your sense of what is happening beneath the surface penetrates the facade so many people project, although your responses from this level operate mostly on a subconscious level.
Mercury is in a tense square aspect to your Ascendant, indicating that you may need to work harder to develop an easy presentation of yourself which others understand. You may mistrust your own abilities, and that mistrust can be projected as arrogance, but it can also be seen as incompetence if you're undermining yourself in some way. Certainly your interest and curiosity are strong, but you may have experienced frustrating situations when you were younger which tested your intellectual abilities in a harsh way that still undermines your self-confidence. By concentrating on your strengths and developing the areas of your communication which you feel are weak, you can gain greater self-confidence and poise.
...wow.
scary.
