Aquarius Moon exact trine Gemini Venus exact square Virgo Saturn.

Honestly, i'm pretty vain, appearance wise. I just love myself, indulging myself in pretty dresses n daily beauty routines - even if nobody loves me, i really love myself.

but my libra dominant chart only focus vanity on myself. I prefer to mix w ppl w kindness n intelligence. I feel safer that way. I always like the way i can detect kindness in a person.. that's so important in survival in this bleak dark word. A person w kindness will use his her intelligence to help u but not one w/o that.

Yes, sadly.
I think the physical body is the greatest thing. The way someone walks and talks - the tone of the voice... everything. It is not like I look for a special list of physical attributes but the guy must be pleasant to look at. And intelligent, of course.
I never considered myself one of the people who have a type but looking back I definitely have one.
To be honest I've never been able to have celebrity-crushes because pictures and recordings of people do nothing for me. You have to be so close to me that I can touch you - that's the only way.

Venus in Scorpio, conjunct Jupiter, trine Saturn, sextile Virgo Moon, sextile Neptune-Uranus.

Moon in Virgo, sextile Venus+Jupiter, trine Neptune-Uranus, semi-square Mercury.

I find beauty in what can be seen as strange, dark, eccentric, etc. Like weird music, weird outfits - I'm very into the Alexander McQueen fashion and how he made what is seen as 'ugly' in society, beautiful. I like unconventional beauty. I like modern art and abstract self-expression in art work, like Pollack and Dali. I like to collect unique items that flow together harmoniously to create an interesting but somehow aesthetically appealing atmosphere. The less traditional the better!

As for preferences with looks, I usually prefer people who suddenly grab my attention somehow, with any thing - from having unique eyes to a cool necklace on. I see through the BS of superficialities [Scorp Venus] but appreciate it when someone tries to look classy. I would be offended if a date dressed too casually for our first outing. I think scars can be sexy. I like birth marks and other quirks. I find it a turn-off to see someone dressed too ordinarily. I wouldn't judge someone if they were a little on the short side, or maybe had a zit. As I said, in the end the emotional connection and initial sparks are very much essential for me to feel attracted to someone in the long haul, not just because they have a pretty face or a good body.

I have moon conjunct venus too (2 deg orb) in Pisces & aesthetics are very important to me as well. I do need things & people around me to be pleasant, serene & harmonious! This doesn't necessarily mean I accept society's ideals of beauty though. I have my own views & they resonate strongly with nature - harmony, balance, symmetry - which is sometimes reflected in society's ideals of beauty but not always. I can also appreciate a darker aesthetic if there is some genuine expression behind it, prob not if its just for shock value or gratuitous in any way. My concept of beauty does go beyond aesthetics though so someone with a nasty streak is not going to be part of my private life. Anyway I don't think it is shallow, I think it is a positive expression of an ideal - that life is beautiful. In my day to day life, I try to find the beauty in little day to day things and I will try to find something positive in most people I meet. My Venus is also square to Neptune, so maybe I am idealistic but I do believe, the inherent appreciation of aesthetics is a gift & possibly for me, it means I can help beautify the world around me (in small & subtle ways)

My own appearance matters A LOT to me and greatly affects how I feel about myself. The appearance of my sexual/romantic partners matters just as much.

Appearances of my friends, family, pets, or strangers does not matter..I show love and respect to them all, despite their appearance. If only I could be that forgiving with myself...

Venus in Scorpio, in 1st house conj ASC. Venus is also the ruler of my 7th house..since it is placed in my 1st, I think that's why my partner's appearance is just as important as my own.

they are very important for my superficial needs.

for my heart, for love, they are irrelevant.

for being happy though, they are relevant.

venus in libra, possibly 2nd house mars as well.

I care about my own looks a lot. Others, not as much.

I tend to think that people are nicer-looking than they consider themselves.

I don't like perfect-looking people, though. People who are too ripped/toned/skinny/pretty kind of annoy me, actually, except for Old Hollywood movie stars. They're just too inhuman, too unreachable.

In a group, I prefer to be 'the pretty one' or 'the stylish one'.

As for dogs, both of my own dogs were/are cute (one passed away), but I would love an ugly dog. Almost every dog that I meet becomes my friend lol. I have a soft spot for them.

I'm turned off by conventional looks and "standard" beauty.

Looks are not as important to me instead a smart and quirky personality always wins me over.


Although I always date active and fit guys. I have a problem with dating over weight people. It's not that I find them unattractive, but that I need a very physically active person to keep up with.

I'd say having Gemini Venus opposite saturn/ Uranus has created a attraction for personality than solely personality.

I am a humble person and do not exalt my looks.

Looks are important to me but they don't command my actions.

If I find someone beautiful, it doesn't mean I'll go and chase them just because I like how they look.

But I do always notice beauty in others, and it kind of fascinates me.

However, I can also like more "average" people, who have visible imperfections and be fine with it, because if I like their personality, they automatically become more beautiful to me. I guess that's a plus. =)

Beauty is very important and it's something we as humans naturally look for. Not just in people, but in our surroundings. Imagine if we all lived in a dark world with no trees, no sun, and no beauty anywhere to be found. Imagine if we didn't pay attention to beauty at all..which, by the way, most of society really doesn't as far as modern cheap architecture goes. But, we are used to things that look ugly as being actually literally unpleasant (rotten food looks ugly to us, therefore we assume it's unhealthy, for example. Try drinking milk with green food dye..it's an unpleasant experience only because it looks ugly! studies show that people imagine it tastes horrible and it actually does to them). We are drawn to beauty. It is something built in us. Something that looks ugly in nature is probably rotten, toxic, or unsanitary (let's go live in the mud and roll around with pigs, guys, what do you say? seem sanitary? not quite. Also, not pleasing to the eye.) So we are wired to associate ugly with unhealthy and not good for us, and for a reason. It's for a very good reason, too. What's not attractive is usually actually unhealthy. It is the same with people. The people who don't work out or take care of themselves are more unhealthy than those who do. Have frizzy hair ? Your hair tells a lot about how healthy your body is, thus it is one of the first things people notice about you. If your hair is shiny, automatically you look 10 times prettier, aka as you are now learning to also mean...healthier (and it's actually true, science shows). Have greasy hair or greasy skin? You don't shower...that's unsanitary. Also, beauty matters in our surroundings as well as in the people around us. We like well put together looking people because it gives meaning to life. It's not just for biological reasons, bc those who look attractive usually have healthier genes (research shows), but also because beauty gives our soul meaning. It's not superficial at all. In fact, in my opinion, it's more dangerous to abandon beauty. It can cultivate the beginning of the meaninglessness of human existence.

Beauty matters, but what's important is to define beauty. Beauty is being healthy, biologically speaking. It is the most natural definition of the word. Many think it is plastic surgery, but many times that doesn't look natural. So people are going to find the unnatural unattractive. So, at what point does obsession with beauty stop being beautiful? There are extremes of everything, and of course, when someone goes to too much of an extreme to try to look presentable, one can have the opposite of the intended results.

I find beauty in everyone. When someone say someone are ugly I lose respect for that person. When Im in love my feelings and the attraction made my choice.

hey

Venus in aqua moon in Taurus reporting in

I like beautiful things in general, yeah. But I cannot buy looks alone. And well I can't buy substance alone either, being good looking is a definite bonus. Obviously with some people looks don't matter, I am not judgmental, but if I'm introduced to a good looking person I feel spontaneously favourably disposed.

As for lovers they have to be appealing and seem desirable, no question about that! I would never consider anyone for a lover who doesn't strike me as hot from day one.

And I adore beautiful and stylish girls, even walking next to one feels cool

Walking next to one who loves you and walks to hold your hand is even more cool.

I like to put effort into my looks whenever I can. But I am not one to be late, or skip breakfast for them.

I hate rushing.

Getting to work/school on time come first. You can't afford to be fashionably late for those.

Having time to eat is a higher priority than having time to do a certain look with my hair or make up. Having a functioning brain is a higher priority. If I don't eat I get disoriented and snap at people.

But at the least I ask is to have time to shower. If I need a shower, and haven't had time to take one when I thought I would have time, I will also get cranky from that.

Dry shampoo is a life saver, still not the same as a shower though.

I don't like to shower at night because I am so much more relaxed when I am clean, and will fall asleep with wet hair. And if I shower and have to be somewhere in the morning I will either be late or show up with wet hair. Luckily I can usually shower in the noon/evening but sometimes I get thrown off and have to take someones shift and get stuck at work all day.

I try to eat as gluten free as possible. Because I was not blessed with a fast/good metabolism so I look pregnant when I eat too many carbs. (even if I'm on my feet a lot and work out)

I usually have time to experiment with different make up looks. I usually style my hair the same way after I shower. Sometimes I will try out a different hair look.

The most I can go with out a shower is a day. My hair gets greasy after that. I like my hair clean, and get p!ssed of if I have to go about my day with it greasy.

I also try to use natural products. Organic shampoo, conditioner, fluoride free toothpaste, aluminum free deodorant, organic body wash.

today I waited to talk to the teacher after class just to ask her where she shops and where she get her outfits.

She told me she doesn't really shop and she doesn't remember where she got her outfit from. UGH, I wasted 5 minutes of my life! haha
