According to the book "Astrological Body Types" these are the significators of physical appearance:

1. The moon sign (especially in females)

2. The Ascending sign

3. The sign tenanted by the planetary ruler of the ascending sign.

4. The sun sign. Beware of sign cusps. People born within one, or even two days of sign cusps or borders may resemble their neighboring sign. This is most frequent for people born at the tail-end of one sign. This same rule can hold for cusping ascendants.

5. The opposite sign to the Sun sign. This can be more obvious than the Sun sign for persons born close to sunset or midnight.

6. The planets nearest the ascending degree. Planets conjunct the ascendant take precedence over the sign on the ascendant (should Jupiter be rising in Capricorn, the physical appearance will, in most cases, be more "Jupiterian" than "Capricornian").

7. Any planet closely conjunct the planetary ruler of the ascendant, Sun (except Mercury) or Moon.

8. Any sign possessing two or more "personal" planets, i.e., Mercury, Venus, Mars.

9. Any sign possessing a "stellium" of five or more planets.

10. Stationary planets: This is a planet that has no apparent motion at the time of birth. It is very powerful and may dominate physical appearance. Consider any planetary Mercury, Venus and Mars and one to three days for slow planets. You will need an Ephemeris to determine the exact speed os specific planets on your date of birth.

11. Dominant Element: Fire, Earth, Air, Water. Look for at least two important indicators such as Sun, Moon, Ascendant, or ruler of Ascendant posited in one element.

12. Dominant mode. Rare. Must be an overt dominance

i remember meeting a girl, all i could pick up from her was 'scorpio'. she was a sagittarius, but i later worked out that she was likely to have a scorpio moon.

my asc/sun are in leo, my moon is in aries, i don't know if i have a firey appearence, you saw my photo thoguh, so you can be the judge, did i look firey? i have 2 planets in virgo - mercury/mars. maybe i looked a bit virgo do you reckon?

my guy has pluto conj sun in scorpio (exact), and he is EXTREMELY scorpionic. he also has venus in libra on the ascendant, and when he's not scorpionic he's libran and mercurial (virgo 12th house conj AC).

my assumption is the same as a virgo body.

or are they?

Sagittarius
Scorpio
(dont know what sign tenanted by planetary ruler means)
Capricorn
Cancer
Pluto & Venus conjunct ASC

And I have a stellium in Sagittarius/Capricorn.

I think I look very Scorpio and especially Plutonian w/ Pluto conjunct my ASC.

(no planets near the ascendant, but I do have Kuiper Belt dwarf planet,Haumea named after a Hawaiian fertility conjunct my Ascendant with 2'10 orb....some people do think that I look like a Pacific Islander even though I am not....also with it being a female archetype,well I do have a feminine look about me..especially if I wear my hair long and have no facial hair)

7. Any planet closely conjunct the planetary ruler of the ascendant, Sun (except Mercury) or Moon.

(Dominant water with Sun,Mercury(ascendant ruler),Venus,Moon in watersigns

I do have an appearance that is hard to pin down(especially being multiracial and people wondering what I am,mistaking me for certain backgrounds),androgenous,soft,sensitive,
gentle, but intense,penetrating, overall complexed

I have high cheekbones, and my mom says that's from the Native American on my paternal grandmother's side.

I have lips that are full, but they don't stick out, ....a matter of fact, when I smile, they are flat...my upper lip is considerably bigger than my lower lip. My lips are unusual in those ways.

I have light brown skin with yellow tones to it that get to medium brown when exposed a lot to the Sun (my white mother had peaches/cream complexion and my black father had medium-dark brown skin...so my skin is like a mixture of their skin colors), brown eyes kinda almond shaped, and hair that is mixture of kinky(loose), curly,wavy(small) that is very dry as in frizzy looking when it's dry, but looking like jheri curl when it's wet.

I look considerably younger for my age, and that runs in the family too.....I think it's connected to my being darkskinned with having mixtures of Black, Portuguese,Spanish,Italian.......I am not sure if it has to do with anything in my chart. All of the people on my mom's side of the family look younger than their age in adulthood.

I have very long curly eyelashes. That's the most unusual thing about my appearance.
I have thick eyebrows that I inherited from my Portuguese maternal grandfather. I also inherited my overall overall hairiness from him too. I started growing a mustache at 10.

I am 5'11 in height with broad, uneven shoulders.

Because I am part black from my father's side, and so I have the typical black person's build in regards to short trunk,long legs/arms. I have big legs like him too. I was very fast,explosive runner.

My feet are big and wide (should be wearing a 10 EE) with very weak arch. I wear 10 1/2 shoe. I think the shape of my feet factored into my use to being very fast swimmer underwater like using my feet like flippers. I also have big hands too.

as far as clumsy, well....I have Dyspraxia (aka Developmental Coordination Disorder and was known as Clumsy Child Syndrome),and clumsiness is typical of Dyspraxics.

Uranus conjuncts my Saturn and one person, a long time ago, did say they got Uranian vibes from my photo. I think its partially to blame for not wanting to adopt the Conservative-business suit-Cap Asc. look.

Also, strong libran influences or an Aries asc indicate LOTSA charisma.

Well, i got a Libra moon, Taurus venus and Aries Rising so i gotta a trifecta of beauty/attractiveness/charisma going on and everything in my life is based on my looks and im not saying this in a positive way. Every male i meet "falls in love" with me, all my girlfriends are jealous and ive had a lot of friendships ruined b/c of it.

I personally dont think im attractive when i look in the mirror but everyone else seems to be floored by it, i have an "unusual" look thats very unique cos no one else out there looks like me. If i had a pic, id show ya but think a cross b/w madonna, uma thurman and gwen stefani (been told i look like them, but then again being unique looking, you dont really look like anyone, they're just the closest i similar too)

In relation to this post:

4. The sun sign. Beware of sign cusps. People born within one, or even two days of sign cusps or borders may resemble their neighboring sign. This is most frequent for people born at the tail-end of one sign. This same rule can hold for cusping ascendants.

im close to the cusp of gemini/cancer, being only 4 degrees in cancer, so i look like a gemini and fit the physical description perfectly. Look nothing like a cancer

8. Any sign possessing two or more "personal" planets, i.e., Mercury, Venus, Mars.

I have my mars, mercury and sun in cancer, they most feminine sign of the zodiac, as it represents the mother and the divine feminine energy (angelina jolie has a cancer moon and cancer rising...wonder what planets Jennifer Aniston has? lol)

11. Dominant Element: Fire, Earth, Air, Water. Look for at least two important indicators such as Sun, Moon, Ascendant, or ruler of Ascendant posited in one element.

Most of my planets are in water

So yeah, in terms of my life and experience, its DEFINITELY true

Speaking of obscure beauty, my mother, I believe is gorgeous she is only 18 years older than me, but she looks maybe 30 years old, I know I have some good genes thanks to her! She looks a bit like Laura Durne and Helen Hunt. She is heavily Mercury (Gemini Sun, Virgo Asc., Virgo Moon, and Cancer Venus and Mars) influenced with her Virgo Moon conjunct her Asc. Long big noses run in my family which from a "typical" beauty standard of women this is not considered beautiful, but I disagree with this, I love defined noses!

she doesn't look old, young mum?

That's not surprising. Chiron is after all a centaur, and that means that it behaves like both an asteroid and comet. It has a highly eccentric orbit. All the centaurs are like Chiron in that way. The centaurs named after females like Chariklo(named after Chiron's wife) have orbits that are lower in eccentricity than male centaurs.

also the kuiper belt objects (that includes Pluto) have highly eccentric orbits and orbit well off the ecliptic especially scattered disk objects like Eris and Sedna.

It would make sense that people with a centaur and/or kuiper belt objects conjuncting the ascendant or any aspect to the ascendant could have an appearance that is distinctive. This could be the case with aspects to the Ascendant ruler as well as the Moon and Sun.

Scorpio influences confuse me there are those really fair and very watery Scorpios and also the deep set eyed type that look more fiery. This book is interesting because it explains different types of each sign. For example there are Airy/Venusian Aquarians and Earthy Saturnian Aquarians.

Saturn and Uranus are conjunct and about 12 degrees away from my Asc. which supposedly up to 30 degrees from the Asc. effects appearance. This combo adds some seriousness to my face I can look irritated really easily which bothers me because I want to be an approachable person, but it makes me less of a foot in ur mouth Sag. influenced person.
