Chapter Text
The first character I want to talk about is the patriarch of the Batfamily:
Bruce Wayne: Virgo sun, Scorpio moon, and Aquarius rising. I know Bruce’s birthday is said to be on February 19th, making him a Pisces, but I don’t think that serves as well as a Virgo sun would for his character.
Virgo sun, Scorpio moon people are analytical, quiet, and skillful. Though, Bruce is logical when it comes to his thinking, it becomes difficult for him to deal with things that are completely foreign in terms of his emotional intelligence.
Scorpio moons are deeply emotional and sensitive, but it’s hard to tell as they wear a detached and calm mask. His moon sign is also the reason for his obsessive tendencies towards people (robins and his parents) and his work (Batman). He feels with such deep power that it overwhelms his logical Virgo sun. Furthermore, the Virgo side of himself additionally makes him extremely picky to the point he wants to fix everything and everyone.
This proves to be difficult for the robins, especially Dick and Jason, since they seek Bruce’s affirmation and praise after a successful mission, but in return, only receive his criticism. Bruce does this, not to make them feel bad, but because he wants them to be their best.
All in all, it’s difficult to get close to this Virgo sun, Scorpio moon man. He still craves intimacy, though, and enjoys being worshipped. Bruce is mysterious, able to disappear and isolate himself for years. No one can reach this brooding and moody man as he keeps to himself, but, regardless, he makes a mark on all those he interacts with.
Now, when it comes to his rising, Aquarius, this is when things become even more complex. There’s two sides of himself he lets the world see - Bruce Wayne, philanthropist, playboy jerk and Batman, cold, articulate weirdo.
Before we talk about those, let’s observe the general aspects of Aquarius risings. For starters, they are humanitarian souls. They love to help people (this is where his philanthropist side comes out) and they have a certain optimistic outlook in terms of humanity. Additionally, they appear confident, individualistic and eccentric. Aquarius risings focus on the future and have no problem being opinionated when push comes to shove.
I think those traits perfectly describe how the general population of Gotham see Bruce and how, even his Justice League colleagues, might see him. Bruce seems loud and extravagant at parties. He’s fluid in body language and attaches himself to any willing girl. Although, it’s an act, he taps into a special part of himself that emphasizes the passionate side of his Aquarius rising. The Justice League members usually see the aloof, detached and cold side of his rising. He’s brutally honest, intelligent and stubborn to a fault. Neither is the 100% true him, but they are two halves of the same coin. It’s a mask he’s sometimes unaware of. But, as a man with an Aquarius rising, he will always value freedom (this is why he’s a vigilante), progression and an intellectual challenge.
Lastly, your ascendant can influence the way you look. Aquarius risings have beautiful faces and are attractive to many. They are taller than average (which is why Bruce is 6’2) and can be “friendly” enough to be surrounded by many people. There’s a strange look to them and there might be issues with the circulatory system (which is why in some continuities such as Batman Beyond, Bruce has issues with his heart + heart attacks).
All of this information is quite general, but it paints enough of an image that’ll help you understand Bruce’s personality.
