Ascendant Aquarius, you are governed by Uranus

Those who are ruled by Uranus are independent, friendly, and a little eccentric at times. They can also be stubborn, arrogant, and rebellious. Your close friends and family can find you rather unpredictable, and you enjoy living your life exactly as you see fit, without others' advice or warning or even a plan! Still, your logical mind and inventiveness can get you out of a sticky situation. Your charm lies almost totally in your originality, friendliness, empathy, and sense of altruism. You seek to take part in improving the world for everyone. You are drawn to new, novel things, towards the future and humanitarian interests, and yet without desiring to really involve yourself emotionally, so that you may be free and autonomous while remaining charitable and understanding. You are not very sentimental for all that and easily confuse love with friendship as affinity and partnerships are more important than anything to you. Also, since you can be an instigator and a little cynical at times, your love-life is rather unstable...
