It probably depends. My mom likes to wear her jeans tight to make the little boys come undone, but it's not so much a showing off (though there is that, too, Leo ascendant & Leo Mars) but her ability to control, which I think comes more from Scorpio. I think if she were a guy she'd go about showing off and establishing control in a very different way that didn't involve her (er, "his" in this hypothetical case) body. I have a Leo ascendant as well but I'm not an exhibitionist when it comes to showing off (if I want to show off my body I'll use clothes, and if I want to be sexy I'll tease and/or insinuate with clothes and might even come off as prudish in doing so depending on whoever I'm trying to impress, which can be sexy if done right). But neither am I shy. I sauna naked (that includes with naked men, btw), I've shocked more than one person in taking off my clothes for a skinny dip, and I've gone "skyclad" to Wiccan rituals in the buff with men & women, and feel no more weird than showering at the gym with others around. I would guess that my shrugging off nudity (my own and others) comes from so much Libra on the Scorpio cusp & Sag influences on mind & body as well as certain aspects of my growing up. IP: Logged |

I heard mention in this thread of Venus/Asc. aspects but Mars/Asc.? Wouldn't that make a person more assertive, independent, and "loud" (by that I don't mean volume)? ------------------ "Most people would rather be sheep and have company than stand out on their own with antlers on." — Tori Amos IP: Logged |

I wish I could be this way. I'm very much the opposite. I feel horrible about my body and very ashamed of it. Something always needs to be fixed. I'm extremely flawed and feel disgusting about my shape and weight. I hate the curviness of my figure. I hate my outer self but like my inner self so it's a battle every day. I'm just being honest. I really envy people who appreciate their bodies or make peace w/ them.If anyone is wondering I have Saturn-ASC and Chiron-ASC and there's Virgo influences too. It's from that. IP: Logged |

Yup. I do. I have Moon-Saturn. I have Saturn-ASC...Saturn-Venus. I feel best with a very slim and board-like body. I'm very unhappy right now. I want to be slim and toned. I had having hips and a large bust. Is it bad to be this way? I feel it's not. It's just my personal preference. I'm not sure why, but it is. I find other women who have curves to be normal, some are even good looking. Just not me. IP: Logged |

I thought I made my point in my post?It was that the people I know who are very comfortable in their own skin don't have Saturn/Chiron hard aspects to their Venus.So I became curious and decided to ask you guys if any of you have these afflictions. And your Mars conjunction probably helps with your confidence.  @sweet-scorpion I know what you mean. I just don't feel comfortable in my own skin.Even if someone compliments me,I have a hard time seeing it.But I'm kind of the opposite I'm petite,I wish I had more curves.My chart is loaded with Saturn/Chiron.

I do appreciate you saying that...thank you. However, I am a Venus in Scorpio. 11th h. Conjunct Jupiter...trine Saturn. I feel a lot of insecurities are rooted in my mind. I have body dysmorphia and have had anorexia nervosa multiple times. I don't talk about it a lot; it just is what it is. It's just tough. This is my dream body. It depresses me that I can't have it right now.... likely ever. IP: Logged |
