A strategist as rebel: a friendly, detached appearance and an intense will to transform whatever must be transformed.
The rebel and the strategist: Aquarius challenges the established order, Scorpio knows how to transform it from within.
Carrying a deep transformation through a group or an institution, with tenacity and vision.
Shutting themselves into their convictions and breaking with those who do not share them.

November and February cross at a right angle: idea against passion, two fixed signs equally stubborn.
Saturn traditionally rules the horizon, Uranus for the moderns; Mars and Pluto reign over the depths. At the first meeting, one finds a free spirit, a little distant, who defends a new idea, mentions a cooperative project, and politely declines conventions. Their convictions are firm and owned.
The Sun culminates in the 10th house; public action moves to the foreground. This combination wants to transform the world, or at least its own field: reform an institution, innovate in a technology, defend a cause to the end. It has a vision and the will to carry it out, even if it means upsetting habits. Its reputation is built on its convictions. Its adversaries rarely underestimate it twice.
This square of the obstinate comes at a cost: no one yields. Aquarius holds to its ideas, Scorpio to its decisions; the person may break with a colleague, a friend, or an organization rather than give way on a principle. They sometimes appear cold on the surface and burning at the core. Leo in the west would advocate warmth; its representatives, expansive, help them express what they feel.
Scorpio with Aquarius rising seeks a relationship that is intense but free, made of intellectual complicity and deep passion.
They need someone who respects their independence and their collective commitments. Leo, in the west, would send warm, radiant people hungry for attention. Offering them that attention, without seeing a loss of freedom in it, would make the bond richer and more tender. Intellectual complicity remains the cement of the couple.
Innovation, research, technology, politics, activism, investigative journalism, reform of institutions: the combination wants to leave a mark and transform its field.
It knows how to resist pressure, even from above. A culminating Sun would accentuate the importance of reputation and public work. Their limit would be falling out with their hierarchy through excessive intransigence. A just cause makes them tireless. Collective causes mobilize them for the long term.
An activist meeting, a technology project, a passionate read about the future of cities: their days mix commitment and research.
The home is original, modern, with unusual objects found online. The person needs freedom and intensity. Making time for close relationships, a dinner with a friend, a call to a parent, would balance their great battles. A little lightness would do them good.
Kronos, ancient ruler of the horizon, would hold no title under the stinger; Ares, for his part, reigns there.
The moderns give Uranus to Aquarius and Pluto to Scorpio: brought together in this portrait, they would suggest a thirst for radical change, to be read with caution since they are generational. The two fixed signs would collide without ever yielding.
The Water-Bearer crosses the horizon around noon, when the November star culminates in the south. The Sun then resides in the midheaven, the place of action, offices, and renown. The solar Scorpio placed so high would seek a lasting public work, often a reforming one.
The Sun sign depends on the day of birth; the rising sign, on the time and place.
Aquarius takes about 1 hr 14 min to rise in Paris: with the Sun in Scorpio, the rising sign is Aquarius for a birth during that rise.

Yes, often. The Aquarius rising sign gives originality and a refusal of conventions, the Sun in Scorpio the will to transform deeply. The person challenges what seems unjust to them and knows how to act to change it. The downside would be an intransigence that sometimes isolates them. Those close to them admire their constancy in the battles they fight.
The Water-Bearer in the east lifts Scorpio to the zenith, into the place of renown and offices. Identity would play out on the public stage, through the work accomplished. The person would want to leave a mark, often by transforming their field. The reform of an institution could become the work of a lifetime.
An Aquarius Sun with Scorpio rising has a free, idealistic core under an intense, reserved front. A Scorpio Sun with Aquarius rising does the opposite: an original, detached front hiding a deep passion. The first surprises with its ideas, the second with its intensity. Both share a remarkable obstinacy.
