People only seem to talk about the conjunction in regard to the ascendant. IP: Logged |

I've wondered the same thing. I also read that if a planet is within 10 degrees of your ASC. than it affects the appearance. What about if its 11 degrees from your ASC. it seems close enough too still effect the appearance. IP: Logged |

I mean, then all of the planets in my chart will have an impact on my looks since they all aspect my ASC.IP: Logged |

Yes I think so, especially the trine. I have Jupiter trine ASC and have had weight problems my entire life. My Sun sextiles my ASC so Im not really sure how that affects my APPEARANCE..perhaps gives me a more Capricorn look than just Scorpio.------------------ Capricorn sun / Scorpio rising / Sagittarius moon Mercury:: Sagittarius Venus::Scorpio Mars::Pisces IP: Logged |

My Saturn is close enough to my Sag. Asc. that I think it effects my appearance I also have Leo Sun trine Sag. Asc. as well, Augetier! I'm tall (5'11) and have really slender ankles and legs, I think the boniness is from the Saturn influence. I've always wondered why I'm so tall, the rest of my family is average height, my Dad is barely six foot and my mom is maybe 5'5, its a little strange. Another thing I think that effects the appearance is the ruling planet of the Asc. Aspects and the sign it is in as well... IP: Logged |

I've always thought ASC has more to do with our social behaviour than our appearance...IP: Logged |

I have kuiper belt dwarf planet, Haumea in 12th conjunct Ascendant with 2'10 orb. Haumea was named after Hawaiian fertility goddess.Well...Some people have mistakened me for being of Polynesian descent(it has to do with my multiethnic ancestry). There is a femininity about my appearance that some mistake me for being gay. With it being a kuiper belt object conjunct my Ascendant, there is strangeness,weirdness,otherwordliness that some people see in me and how I relate to others. I believe that fits with my being a neurodivergent. I was in special education for 3 years,and so I was singled out as being abnormal. I have kuiper belt dwarf planet, Eris quincunx my Ascendant, and I think that also adds to the strangeness,weirdness,otherworldliness of my appearance and how I relate to others. That fits with my being a neurodivergent. As well as Eris relating to Diversity, my multiracial appearance that some people guess and wonder what I am. I have Jupiter square Ascendant,and I have history of being overweight. I was a big baby..even for 2 weeks premature. My mom has said 1 month premature before. I have big thighs and broad shoulders in proportion to my height.
My Mercury is sextile Ascendant within 1 degree in Right Ascension which is the equatorial longitude coordinates that astronomers. I look much younger for my age of 37 years old....especially without facial hair. Raymond

Glaucus- Don't you have Venus parallel Neptune? Wouldn't that account for your 'femininity'? Also, your youthful appearance could be due to your Virgo rising. That sign, as well as other mutables, is known for aging gracefully.IP: Logged |

yes...I have Venus parallel Neptune, but would be more about being idealistic,sensitive love nature as well as being very romantic and having a strong aesthetic sense. My Saturn is contraparallel Mercury-Venus-Neptune parallel.Mercury-Ascendants are known for being youthful appearance. Kuiper belt dwarf planet,Haumea named after a female deity in aspect to my ascendant would also make sense for a feminine appearance. Same with Eris named after a female deity in aspect to my ascendant. Haumea conjunct Ascendant would be much stronger though. My Sun is also conjunct True Black Moon Lilith(true lunar apogee) with only 22 minutes of arc but that could also indicate a strong feminine nature, leading to me being a feminist. Lilith being a female,feminist archetype. that wouldn't necessarily indicate the appearance.
Sedna,kuiper belt dwarf planet named after Inuit Sea Goddess, oppose my Sun and sextile my Moon could also add to theme of having a feminine nature because of having a female deity archetype prominent. we're talking about appearance though....Ascendant is said to do with appearance......so I was only talking about my Ascendant aspects. I am not really certain about sign influences in regards to appearance.....especially when it comes to people that aren't white. I am not white. I am multiracial.
also aging gracefully runs in the family on my mom's side. People hardly get wrinkles in my family. My relatives on my side are of Portuguese descent. My mom's paternal half siblings have a Spanish,Puerto Rican mother. Also people with darker skin complexions tend to age more gracefully. My being part black could also factor into aging gracefully.

hmm well this wouldn't surprise me, because a couple of members here said i look like a cancer/cancer rising. well, my moon trines my ascendant in an orb of 1-7ish (don't know the exact minute of my birth time)this moon trine asc could explain people thinking i look like a cancer/cancer rising. what about square aspects?

I believe that even asteroids to the Ascendant might be involved with appearancein my chart: Ascendant in 13'26 Virgo square Galahad in 13'18 Gemini R in 10th square Brown in 13'46 Gemini R in 10th square Larry in 13'36 Gemini R in 10th sextile Niger in 13'47 Scorpio in 3rd I resemble my black father named Lawrence who was also known as Larry. He had medium-dark brown skin,and I have light brown skin.
If you ever read the Arthurian Legends, Galahad was the knight that achieved the Holy Grail through his purity,perfection. Galahad was the son of Lancelot and Elaine. He was raised by nuns,and Galahad remained a virgin until his death at young age when he no longer wanted to live after looking into the Holy Grail and seeing the mysteries that it showed. Galahad seems Virgo-like. I think Galahad square my Ascendant finetunes the perfectionist,virginal,innocent appearance of my Virgo Ascendant. Some people have seen that in me, especially when I was in the navy. Raymond

OoOOoo I have an astro book where each degree has its own animal totem, the author says that the animal you have on your ASC describes either your appearance or a certain trait of chararacter you have in common with this animalIP: Logged |
