Yea mine makes sense, to be attractive I have to have money, when my bank balance is on the lower end I feel that I don't deserve to be out there dating or being with friends. Wud else....I have to be organized otherwise I would come across as a flake, also I have to be making progress making sure each day is me moving forward, things like this make me feel attractive. Ironically, they're things that they wouldn't be able to tell about me if they saw me walking down the street lmao. Now that I think of it it's hilarious. But in my mind mind anyway that makes me attractive. Venus in Capricorn. I also feel more attractive when I'm on the heavier end of the scale of my healthy weight range, and when my skin is perfect, hair is soft and nicely styled, and apparently I look more attractive wearing black or deep red. Oh, and I love tight skirts/pants.IP: Logged |

Yea it does. I'm a Virgo Venus, but a free spirited libra... style was never my "OMG I live" area because I think too much into it. I can never go out on the limb and by something out of my zone without trying it on, picturing myself everywhere with it, where it may end up in a few months...and I usually dont end up buying it. I even try to make my edgy, less put together looks edgy to a T it's so annoying. IP: Logged |

RL Scenario: my instructor totally made me look like an idiot today in front of the whole class, and I did not feel too good afterwards...even though everyone else went through the same drilling. I forgot that I don't like to appear unintelligent either, or maybe I already mentioned it earlier in the thread. meh. I guess I really am an adrogynous person. I really hate my boobs on most days....way too big. IP: Logged |

Venus in Leo/ 10H conjunct MC and Mercury in LeoIt fits me perfectly. I always liked fine things, luxury etc. In love I want the best, being very picky. I love everything's beauty, quality over quantity, and I do have good sense of aestethics. IP: Logged |

I feel attractive when...well, when I woke up that morning and was feeling attractive. Should last the whole day. xD If I feel attractive or not isn't really under my control. I can do things to get there. For example: be clean, have hair 'done' (I usually just wash it and go), wear clothes I feel comfortable in. I like 'masculine' and hairy man, too. Should be clean though. I have Venus in Virgo in the 1st house. Venus conjunct Mercury Venus square Mars Venus trine Uranus Venus trine Neptune Venus conjunct AscendantIP: Logged |

Venus in Aquarius... I wonder what that would do to my self image?I struggle with my esteem but usually feel attractive when or if I am making "progress" in some way (new clothes or accessories, extra exercise, new diet, improved skincare, new cosmetics) or tweaking some small aspect of my appearance. I feel like I can always find a way to make myself look better or "mix it up". Fashion, I take risks and chances style wise... but not in any way that would be considered provocative or sexy. I love funky accessories, so my purses, jewelry & shoes are more "dangerous" but certain not a fan of miniskirts or lowcut shirts. ------------------ Aqua Sun Gem Moon Aries RIsing IP: Logged |

Venus in Scorpio here I find myself attractive,and have pretty good self esteem.I may not think of myself as perfect,but i know I can be with a little work lol (I basically feel like if I go out and buy some nice clothes,get my hair done,and lose a few pounds,I will be smokin ;p ) I know my potential is what I am trying to say.With a little care and nurturing all women are beautiful. I like feminine clothing,that is classy,not trashy or anything.I dress modestly with a little hint of sexiness."Just one sexy thing" is my rule.Either a shoe,or some peeking lace here or there,never both.

Do you find that you get bored with your appearance quite often, I wonder? I have progressed Moon/Venus in Aqua and feel this way so I like to keep changing it, even just small tweaks, hair color, skin color, clothing, body type. Does this sound like an Aqua thing? I know a Venus in Aqua man and he wears a different tie every day with really absurd strange things on it, like a daffy duck tie, or one with the 3 stooges, people really compliment him on that, and it's his pride cos he sees it as standing out from the horde.

I think it's the energy you emit, from the way you carry yourself. There's nothing sexier than making the man you find attractive laugh. I like really masculine men - and standing next to someone who you see as a "man" and makes you feel like a woman - now, that's damn sexy.

Preach it, sisters I'm always swinging between extremes, my aries wants white t-shirts, jeans and an old pair of sneakers (taurus moon), and my libra ascendant and venus in the 7th like pretty, feminine clothes, fur, stuff like that. I feel most attractive when I got my mojo But if I don't, I'll wear something provocative or trendy, maybe something that screams "look at me" and put on make-up for half an hour ) IP: Logged |

I'm a Venus in Pisces. Venus Trine Jupiter(In Cancer) Venus Sextile Uranus(In Capricorn) Venus Square Ascendant(In Gemini)I feel that what I wear affects the way I feel. I feel better when I am clean. I'm more likely to be cranky if I skipped my shower. If I have a pink halter dress on I will act more girly and flirty. If I have hoodie and sweats on I'm more likely to act chill, and crack jokes. Either way I feel awesome. Just different kinds of awesome. I'm sorta young, so I like to show a little cleavage sometimes. I'm proud of my D's. (I hated when I first got boobs at 15...but I think thats normal for alot of girls to be embarrassed at first) And I feel like wearing a necklace while showing some cleavage makes it look more tastefully done. I live in Michigan so it's really exciting when it gets warm and I can show some skin. Like my knee caps! And if I have put alot of effort into my hair I'm more likely to act high maitenance. lol I like to experonment with different make up looks too. It's seriously a hobby of mine. IP: Logged |

venus in pisces - I love playing with contrasts, like colour, hard/soft, and texture. I'd say my style is hipppie meets 90s alternative meets Bettie Page. If I'm wearing a flowy dress, I feel weird if I don't harden it up a little with combat boots or something. Actually I love wearing boots with pretty much anything, and over half of my wardrobe is black and the other half is funky patterns. I adhere to the attitude that "fairies wear boots" (black sabbath). Dresses are so low-maintenance, you just put one on and you're good for the day - easy on and easy off. IP: Logged |

I feel most attractive when I have a partner/ borfriend, but not in a co-dependant way! Repeat, not in a co-dependant way! I just feel beautiful knowing that I have a special connection with someone who finds me beautiful and intelligent and who is also my best friend. I may have Venus in Gemini, but its placed in the 7th H, giving it a much more partner oriented aspect than would seem otherwise. Plus I have Mercury in Leo and I love luxurious things and deep golds and reds, my bedroom is quite lavish. IP: Logged |

Venus in Sagittarius here.There's a book I've glance at in B&N that talks about astrology and your girlfriends/female friends. It pointed out that even with a Sun in Capricorn or any other "stiff" sign, a girl with a Sagittarius Venus will have a colorful wardrobe, favor clothes that aren't constricting, and will probably prefer sun dresses or anything outdoorsy. After many, many stages of trying to find what style works for me, that description couldn't be any more correct. I'm a Capricorn Sun with a Cap Asc & Mars as well. A Gemini moon might contribute to the need of variety. I like clothes to be fitted as I was fortunate enough to luck out with an hourglass figure and the curves in the right places. Baggy or loose clothing on an hour glass figure just simply looks frumpy and I don't think my Capricorn dominant chart likes that. I can pull off simple outfits that hugs my figure without showing too much very well. I hate pants. I've grown detest them. I love shorts and summer dresses like no other. Like most Capricorns, I can rock blacks and grays and whites better than most. However, my closet is pretty half and half. It consists of bright, vivid colors and... black and navy. I don't do pastels. I can't do pastels with my tan skin. I prefer bold colors that get noticed and are "fun." (Hot pink, teal, marigold yellow, royal purple. No baby pink or sky blue or anything like that.) If my arms and legs are free, I'm happy. As for body image, I'm not in shape. I'm a little thick and am not as toned as I'd like to be. Until I have a nice, firm figure that has less than 20% body fat, I will forever be convinced that I'm fat. I'm at 23% and it makes a huge difference. I do like thin figures but now I understand why I've always favored healthy figures. When it came to celebrities, I've always idolized the fit looking ones like Kate Beckinsale as opposed to Keira Knightly. (She is fit actually, but a little too thin for my taste.) IP: Logged |

I have a Capricorn Asc with Saturn in Sag and that sounds like me too...I like colors. I don't normally wear neutral tones and classic stuff. Though sometimes I can do classic, with my own dramatic spin (probably a combo of the Asc and Asc ruler). IP: Logged |

There is something to it. I have Venus in Taurus in the 11th. And I physically strive to be curvy. In fact I would NEVER want to be skin and bones. And I envy girls who have larger butts and hourglass shapes. As far as with me I strive to be sexual and a friend as well. Basically one sec a friend and then the next sexual lol. IP: Logged |

As a male Scorpio Venus IV, I prefer the tighter form fitting shirts and T's. I also enjoy wearing shorts as I am fortunate enough to have a strong athletic frame from bottom to top. A lot of my colour scheme is either, black or dark hues with flashes of bolder colours, such as a dark green top with a flash of red in a logo or some pattern for example. I do have brighter, louder more garish pieces, such as pastel yellows, sky blues and sea green or pastel greens. Those are mostly summer and spring time clothes. I quite enjoy being suited and booted, clean cut and of course fitted shirts again. I'm not a big fan of long sleeve T's because I feel they restrict my arms, I prefer to be free although I don't mind long sleeve shirts. I also am typically more likely to notice women who dress in this manner, with those clothes that hug their figure more and accentuate their curves. I guess I prefer clothes that do this on all people because it highlights their natural body shape rather than disguising it and shows confidence about who they are and how they look. The barest hint of provocativeness is good a tiny bit more is also fine. Anything that doesn't leave much to the imagination is not in my tastes, I love the hints of sugestion and what it does to my imagination. My motto is, the simpler you the dress, the better you look. ------------------ Learn lots. Don't judge. Laugh for no reason. Be nice. Seek Happiness. Follow your dreams. IP: Logged |
