I have venus in scorpio and I don't pay attention to men's look at all. I even once thought they look all the same and I couldn't distinguish them lol. I once regarded myself as "unnormal" during my teens when my girl classmates were crazy about those handsome-looking celebrities. I only fall in love with "vibes" but I do care about my own appearance.

I also have a packed 7th house but the signs are Taurus/Gemini.

Not everything is about looks, certainly not the 7th house. You have a lot of action in there, it's hard for me to imagine that you don't have some life mission involving relating to other people. Despite my interest in things intellectual or creative things always veer back in this direction.

Attractiveness is a subjective quality. Who said there is one ideal body shape? There isn't, no-one on the planet would ever agree. If there was, then that wouldn't define attractiveness anyway. Confidence and the ability to get on with other people will get you further.

Flicking through the thread someone has used the word 'self-involved'. If you are obssessing about how you look then you are denying your 7th house. It is about other people and how you relate to them - appearance is the rising sign and 1st house.

1st: look through 100s of magazines and find a haircut and colour you like, then book yourself in at the hairdressers and have a consultation as to whether it'll work for you and if not, what will and what will make you look fabulous.

2nd: Book yourself in for a session at the MAC counter and get their makeup artist to do your makeup and teach you how to do it yourself so you can recreate the look at home, they're trained in knowing what colours and makeup will look best and natural on you (and to suit your new hairdo )

3rd: steal your most fashionable friend to take shopping for a new wardrobe that makes you feel like your reflecting your most beautiful inner self but make sure she tells you the truth!! And dont listen to the shop assistants cos they're just trying to fill a sales quota.

4th: Get yourself some nice lingere to wear so you feel sexy, desirable and naughty.

Looks are subjective in any case.

Body Fat percentage is not subjective though.

You can try workouts with a fierce resolve, like the cliched Rocky "Eye of the Tiger" workouts.
3 hrs of Cardio on alternate days and weight training to build muscles in the legs. The general physical well being will translate to you feeling that you look great.
A positive feedback loop will start.

Leg muscle growth automatically generates fat burning biochemicals. Skin friendly alkaline diets on top of this will create a
tremendous makeover.

Mars trine Ascendant is a certain booster for physical workouts.

Frequent sex is the next step. The body has amazing secret endorphins that enhance beauty but the more you use them, the more they are generated.

I think you have to find your own style
I'm thinking with Pisces on the AC and Neptune in Sagittarius in the 9th house..

I'd go for something that looks a little foreign perhaps.. in flowing colours, blues, pastels - sea colours - like sea green and dark blue..

I do help my friends shop. And I often do their make-up as well. I love matching colours, I always have.. I think that's courtesy of my Libra grandmother. She's the artist in the family.

Beth - I had a good idea while posting this..

You could buy the materials!

And then design your own clothing - the way you would like it to look. I'm positive you'd be great at this with your Libra planets..

And then go and have them tailor-made..
You'd have to find a good tailor though!

My skin is super oily with impossible to control blackheads and oil bumps even now

The only things I use on my face.. are:

- pure glycerine soap.. make sure it has nothing else but glycerine in it, you should be able to find it in a health shop.. If not you could probably find somewhere to order it online.

And this scrub:

(edit: btw that scrub is called "creamy".. but I have used it often and it isn't *actually* creamy. My roommate purchased it once. I was reluctant to try it because of the "creamy" thing.. usually "creamy" things make my skin oilier.. but this particular one is very good)

They've both been great for me, so try it for a week or so and see if it works. I'm Mediterranean looking with light olive skin and pretty oily myself lol so I feel you!

Gotta love the Libra, my grandmother was a seamstress so i got right into colours, patterns and textures. When i decided to go back to school i got into a fashion design course but my destiny is with psychology.

Hehe, im so Venus ruled (Libra Moon, Taurus Venus)..i love looking at nice things and having pleasant, harmonious, balanced surroundings and environments. And most importantly...COLOUR COORDINATED (lil fashion rule here..PINK & RED are a fashion no-no lol)

You do sound very Venusian

My Venus changes at the exact time as my AC. It could be either in Aries or Taurus.
But maybe I have Venusian traits simply because Venus is exactly conjunct my NN - regardless of sign.

"oh your so pretty".."Kat your beautiful on the inside and outside"..yadda yadda..

Attractiveness has to do with how healthy you are on the outside and the inside and I didn't realise that truth until I actually got away from my family and friends..

Of course the guy is going to pick the athelitic, almost clear skin, somewhat 20/20 vision girl with good mental stability of course she's not perfect no one is but she seems healthy...

Over me the poor eye vision, the oily breaking out skin, underwieght, depressed prone bipolar girl in and out of therapy and hospitals from attempted suicides it just is what it is and no amount of cookie cutting comments are going to change that..>.<

If you see yourself as ugly, bipolar, underweight etc etc then other people are going to think that of you too.

YOU ATTRACT WHAT YOU PROJECT

And before you assume i'm just another typical "athletic, 20/20 vision cookie cutter" chick, i've been where you've been with depression, psychiatrists, countless counselors, the prescription drugs, self mutilation, drug abuse, domestic abuse, self abuse, self medication..it wasn't until i started healing and nurturing myself, then it came through cos i wanted to project positivity in accordance with this new change in myself.

I really hate it how people think the attractive ppl have it sooooo good then hate on themselves even more. Stop it! You are beautiful, start projecting that thought and you will attract beauty in all forms, not just visual or aesthetic.

90% of the population has something.. It comes with the aging process.

Vision problems are very very common.. I'm surprised you think any guy would care about your eyesight.

I find practically everyone has either skin that is too oily or too dry.. When the skin is too dry you have other problems like you get sun-burnt easily and it gets all peely etc.. So don't stress about it too much.

Its like comparing Monica Belluci (typical of a girl with oily skin) with Gwyneth Paltrow (typical example of a girl with dry skin).. I'm sure they both have their fan base completely regardless.

Besides there are many guys out there with their own mental problems. I don't think a depressed guy would discriminate against your depression.

I ended a friendship based solely on this (it kinda got unbearable when she got a nose job and effectively shoved her own head up her arse)

Seriously, I've known hot, sexy as guys and girls who have what other ppl would think is a plain, boring girlfriends/boyfriends in comparison to "what he/she can get out there". Its what in your heart and inside your head that matters in the long run and that presides always.
