I have a heavy scorpio and pluto influence, and a hefty gemini element as well. (chart is here) Here is a clear picture of my face: http://img202.imageshack.us/img202/8355/dscf7347j.jpg
I look NOTHING like the typical descriptions of an Aquarius ascendant, other than being slightly odd in appearance. You really can't tell a rising by looking at someone, no matter what people will tell you. IP: Logged |

I have studied a particular personality theory for years now (MBTI), and have learned to type people by body language. It can't be done by photographs because things can look different from picture to picture. I think the same applies here. You'd have to see the individual in person. To highlight this, here are two different pictures of me. The energy I show here is different simply based off pose and lighting. You'd likely get a different read from both. first
second I think videos would be much more accurate, but it would take A LOT of practice to do it, and a lot of rules would have to be established to know what to look for. It took years for people to figure out the body language rules for MBTI, and just as much time for a person to learn for what to look for.
That's interesting.
I didn't know the MBTI actually studied body language. But yes you'd definitely have to see the individual in person to determine their Ascendant/MBTI type, and even then, it's not an easy task. But it's possible with enough training, I guess.

Could it be the decans? I guess you are third decan rising...it's the prettiest Virgo rising decan.Well, I don't think that Virgo Risings have a severe look. Most people think I look friendly and warm.
Thank you! My ascendant is actually at 28 degrees I think the severe look on my part is also attributed with my grand earth trine with my Sun and Saturn, plus I have an Aqua moon IP: Logged |

Wow blue-grey? You have an Aries ascendant but it is tempered nicely with that mars in Pisces in the 12th. given that it's your ascendant's ruler, and your ascendant is aries, this is actually quite a majestic balance....I can see the smooth watery temperance with the fire like Aries mixing to make your unique self come through. A dream rider perhaps....I bet you have some vivid dreams. I believe the mars in Pisces archetype is the sacred song writer/warrioress....maybe this part is latent in you since it's in the 12th house. Can I ask...do you play any instruments? Perhaps the flute? And do you have a slightly hidden artistic bending....I'd imagine that you are poetical to say the least....I can see then the dreaminess manifesting...perhaps a warriors mermaid....Do you know any volunteer work by any chance? I ask because I am interested in the mars in Pisces placement...also where is Venus? In Taurus? Does Martin Luther King or Bob Dylan resonate with you, does it stir the unconscious for you? Especially as it's placed with your ascendant....finaly...where is jupiter and neptune for you? CAncer and capricorn? Thank you...if you could, also, can you post your chart in another thread?

Yeah that is what I am thinking after seeing this. You can only pick up on someones energy to a degree through photographs. I am unsure if I could learn to guess someones individual signs even after knowing them in person for a long long time and knowing their body language. Astrology is something you can't guess at. You need the info and then you can explain everything through that. It doesn't go in the other direction because things are far too nuanced. ------------------

One thing is for sure. Gemini ascendants talk with their hands...if they use both hands especially...but I could see someone with libra rising and mercury conjunct the ascendant doing this too...only more refined, balanced and in harmony....IP: Logged |

Don't get me wrong, I think you can absolutely get a read of some basic astrological information. Such as what element is strongest in them, maybe a sign that has a heavy influence on them. Maybe in rare cases a specefic aspecet or planet sign.The thing is though, more then one possible explination for things is going to exist, and I don't think those can be discerned easily enough unless someone is supremely psychic which is very very very rare. I am a scientisit by trade so I am naturally a skeptical person and will look for a rational-real explination for anything and everything first. Being this way actually makes the psychic abillties I have stronger because I can filter false information. So I approach this with a grain of salt. As I mentioned before. Through a personality theory I know well, you can figure out someone type by person to person or video interview. Reason being is there are specefic and exact body language motions that are indicitive to specefic cognitive functions. It's actually a rigid model at the base which is what makes it possible to work. Astrology's base is too interpretive and loose for the same kind of system to work to a point where you can completely peg someone. ------------------

Heh, yeah. I never go anything trying to prove someone wrong through. That's deceitful and very very rude. If I get the sense that someone wants me to read tarot for them just so they can see if I am right or not, I will refuse to do it. That being said I am a bit of an odd one out in the spiritual community and those I interact with within it because I don't default to those reasonings right away. I've even had some react in anger for me denying spiritual explinations for some things they were experiencing. It was because they were being denied attention and feeling "special" in a way. Anyway there's much to it and I am already digressing enough . IP: Logged |

I know what you mean about skeptisms. I was eternally a skeptic always thinking in termso f logos...but the truth is time isn't linear...if it were...then we wouldn't experience precognition which is rampant and verifiable to the degree it happens spontaneously.I think alot of skeptics who are outright against the spiritualization of our tangible world are superstitious themselves...because they believing in cannons that are made by atrocious murderers and calling it divine inspiration...that to me is superstitious...of course I am comming from both realms of existence and tehrefore a little less biased...It's interesting that you're a scientist...I too have a scientific mind and based on my philosophical insights, and those of others...I am forced to believe that certainly their is a correlation between the planets and character to a degree...upon which it flows into a or over a threshold or a shore of a free will...but yes...my earliest memories our of death...and until I learned of the nature of transformation through astrology, did not have the power nor ability to overcome my greatest fears....of course, a young child musing on the nature of death with only a religious outlet is sad in itself...yet we draw strenght from our solarian placements...imagine it demonized or you told taht you are strange or ostrisized for musing on the afterlife... woe is me woe is that...woe is a rock and a baseball bat.
