It’s not ‘wrong’ to be attracted to beauty. However, if that’s your only priority then you have a problem.

I’m not ashamed to say it. I like looking at beautiful things, beautiful places, and beautiful people. It’s a natural part of being human. That being said, different people view different things as ‘beautiful’….. There are society’s standards, and then there is what appeals on an individual level to each person, which may or may not be inline with society.

Beauty is subjective. The only constant I’ve noticed is that looking healthy is important… I think on a biological level we are not attracted to mates that look unhealthy, because in theory we are intending to reproduce with them. On a biological level we all want to have healthy offspring and look for mates who can provide this opportunity when we’re ready. So if you don’t take care of your body, only eat junk, and drink and smoke too much, you may loose you sex appeal… If you are healthy, even if you don’t look ‘perfect’ someone will be attracted to you.

You don’t have to be perfect to have someone fall in love with you. You just need to be their ‘type’ and have chemistry with them. Synastry shows how we have chemistry with others, and the Natal revels what our ‘type’ is…..

There are two types of attraction…. Physical attraction, which is shown in planetary synastry…. And psychological attraction, which is the type of personality you’re attracted to, and shows in your natal chart…

Looking at the 5th,7th, and 8th houses by sign, planets in these houses, and the house ruler’s position, shows our psychological type… What type of temperament and values we want our partner to have, what type of sense of humor we like in a partner… That sort of thing. Psychological attraction shows how we find things like a kind heart, a sense of humor, and self assurance attractive…. Psychological attraction shows how ‘personality’ is beautiful to us. And if someone strongly influences your 5th, 7th, and 8th houses in synastry, often you are able to spot them from across a room even if they haven’t said a word. Somehow you just ‘know’ that they have the personality type that you’re attracted to….

If someone has Saturn in the 5th, 7th or 8th houses they might be attracted to authority figures…. Not because they ONLY care about status, but because that is just what they find this type romantically appealing. If they had Uranus there instead, they probably go for more of rebel type. And if they had both Uranus and Saturn placed like this, they’d go for a combination of both…. Like a manager with progressive ideas or something….

If someone is not your type in terms of personality as shown by the natal chart, and planetary synastry, they could be drop dead gorgeous and still not hold any special appeal to you. I’d be like looking at a pretty picture and having no reaction. If someone is your psychological type, and your share a Mars/Venus conjunction or something, even if their looks are so so, you’d find yourself drawn to them…

If you have lots of attraction planetary synastry aspects with someone, like Venus/Mars, but they are not your psychological type… They’d turn you on, but you wouldn’t pick them for a serious relationship.

If someone is your psychological type, but there's no physical attraction planetary aspects in your synastry… You’d really like them a lot, and wouldn’t mind spending time with them, only you just wouldn’t have enough physical chemistry with them to want them as a mate.

I think when it comes to love it’s more about perfect matches, then it is about perfect looks.

I also agree with Lotis White, that admiring beauty isn't bad. Beauty can just come down to Math when looking at symmetry also known as the "golden ratio" It is found in art as well.

A persons appearance is the first thing we see. Until we can get to know them and see the beauty in their soul, its the first thing people usually judge.

thre si so much hyprocrisy about beauty because it is not 'politically correct' but hey, beauty is all over, as you have said, in math formulas, in the sound of birds, in a sunrise, in a high mountain. nobody is accused to be shalow when they admire a beautiful landscape, but if you admire a well atletic body with nice facial features, you have to hide that this is VERY IMPORTANT. the fact that other things are important (as lothis white already explained in detail) does not mean that BEAUTY itself has not a place. this is similar to personality features. you may say

he must be FUNNY and it is all right. nobody will tell you. how superficial? but if you think about it. some gloomy people can make you better but helping you to look at yourslef and not looking others to make you laugh... not me... i like funny people as well as most people in earth

same with inteligence. what about compasion? anyway... BEAUTY is as important as any other quality and should not be seen as ugh... because yes, i need the phychological connetion adn the emotional connection, but hey, if the mental connection and emotional connection are there, but the man is a fat one...sorrry, but i cannot imagine having sex with the man.. no matter how strong the phychological connection. he will be a soulmate, but NEVER sex mate.

Gradually, we became friends.

Then I realized how nice his skin was. Then I loved that he wore his father's flight jacket. I really totally loved his handwriting. I was far gone when I realized I loved his hands.

Before it was over, I thought he was just perfect. Ha!

I have Venus conjunct Neptune in Sag....and it was always that way, when I was single. Beauty changing before my eyes, depending on how enchanted I was, how I focused my attention.

Most of you know that:
The strongest natal beauty attraction aspects are Sun conjunct Venus, Venus conjunct Mars and, Venus conjunct Uranus. The influences associated with these aspects have the potential to compel other people to approach the subject person. The subject person, with these aspects, is not normally looking for the attention or company of others and can become annoyed or irritated by the constant onslaught of unwanted attention.

In the Synastry chart, the strongest beauty attraction aspects are the same, Sun conjunct Venus, Venus conjunct Mars and, Venus conjunct Uranus, even if there is a lack of these aspects in a natal chart.

Not Impressed With Beauty?

In Synastry Astrology, it is possible to not be impressed with beauty if the Synastry Venuses are not aspected by either parties planets.

There are, also, some "turn off aspects" in Synastry that could influence your decision with or without the involvement of the beauty factor of Venus.
Sun opposition Mars
Moon square Mars
Moon square Saturn
Mars conjunct/square/opposition Mars

Many oppositions and squares in Synastry, can contribute to a standoffish influence/feeling between the parties. But various favorable aspects in the chart can serve as suitable workarounds.
