I've concluded that style can come through the ascendant, midheaven, or planetary dominants. What is the best way to go about this? And what about how styles complement a person's appearance (especially when Asc./1st house) is involved?

Scorpio ASC, Virgo MC, with Venus conjunct MC. Dominant planet Moon, in Cap. I am simple and understated. I like plain, non-patterned things. Earthy and natural. I do not go for fashion trends, but for things that last forever. Classic.

I do love black (thanks Scorpio rising).

So how to work backwards is what you are looking for?

Ok, my best friend is birth time unknown. She is very natural, wears blues and grays often. Always classic styles. Everything elegant. I see her mostly in earthy colors, like water- aqua, light blue, greens, and grays. I don't think I've ever seen her in bright reds, pinks or black. No patterns, nothing extreme.

Her Venus is Taurus. I think her Cap Moon plays a dominant role, but I don't know how. Maybe it's first house? Health and wellness is a huge theme in her life, and education. So I lean towards some Virgo type stuff, but I really don't think she is Virgo rising. By the way she has nothing in Virgo at all.

I find that the blog posts on using Ascendants to determine style are too simplistic, like what Star Style and Mystic Medusa show.

Interesting on how the moon is involved in style. I find that to be a valid indicator. Star Style has blog posts about moons in different signs, but it shows more of how a person makes him/herself at home and how they decorate their space. Again, Star Style limiting to this kind of interpretation is an example of how that observation could be too simplistic.

Do you like Vedic/Jyotish astrology? There is a youtuber by the name of Claire who has done extensive research on the different nakshatras of the zodiac and used it to interpret different beauty and public trends with each. All of her videos are very accurate. Not surprising, since Jyotish is typically very accurate, more so than I used to like to think. I think if you are concerned with fashion/style, you should definitely check her videos out! It's not an exact science of course, but it is all very interesting to look at regardless.

She has a lot of good videos where she analyzes each nakshatra and their style so I can't link a specific one... Here is her channel:

Speaking of which, I bought Vedic astrology book for Kindle called Your True Zodiac Sign. The author uses Niryana astrology (a branch of Vedic Astrology). His website and a test to determine your "True Zodiac" profile are found at: http://www.truezodiacsign.com/

What was going on during someone’s goth punk phase?

When I had Saturn oppose my Venus, I went though a I look like I “gave up” phase. Once Saturn was in Libra that’s when I had to start dressing more business casual once I got a job in the schools.

But before that job it was jeans sweat pants sport shorts and club clothes.

Saturn kind of makes sense to me because Saturn is rules. We all have our own fashion rules and we all have rules we have to follow while still trying to find our way to express ourselves obeying the rules.

I think back to how my style changes with Saturn transits.
Saturn oppose Venus was a low point in my life. I did not look my best at all. I’ll leave it at that.

Saturn in Libra no more spending money on jeans edgy shirts and club clothes. My style changed so fast “I had nothing to wear!” on my days off it seemed some days. 5 day work week. Having clothes for work is a higher priority.

Saturn in Scorpio my 6th house. House of health taking care of ourselves I lost 20 pounds and had to purge a lot. Lots of shopping and being my weight at 17 but being comfortable in my skin this time.

With Saturn in Sagittarius, Sagittarius has to do with other cultures belief costums outside my own. I had to tweak my work sense of style when I started a new job at an Islamic private school. Some looks that were okay at the private catholic school, will not fly at this Muslim school. Not even a centimeter of cleave can show. Knees are not for showing. Skirts, dresses, must be below the knees. The unspoken rule that your dress or skirt can be shorter if worn with leggings. Shirts must have sleeves. No professional tank top blouses. The four finger tank top rule was at my school growing up. Not here. If I wear that it’s now with a sweater with no buttons so I can show off the tank top with out showing off my arms.
I also got into infinity scarves so that I don’t have to stop wearing my low cut shirts. The scarves have grown on me, I’ll wear them on my day off sometimes.
Added lots of leggings to my wardrobe so I can still wear my shorter dresses and skirts.

For me Saturn is the “you need to grow up now” with my fashion sense.

Could this be Jupiter transiting my 6 house making my style more active?

Also ever since Neptune has been in Pisces I've been wearing dresses and skirts more frequently.

Another thing that has been going on for a long time...I'm a free clothes magnet. How can I not take free clothes? And like most people, dressing trendy and hip does not pay the bills. Plus I'm in my late 20's now anyways. Some of its great and some of its like whatever this is something I would only wear at work. Though sometimes it gets a little out of hand and makes me feel like I have identity issues. I'm saving money on clothes and my weight has not changed dramatically since 2013. So with that and people giving me their hand me downs. I don't need anymore and no one lets me shop! (Well besides unmentionables these days)
It's just not me at all to get rid of something cause it's so 3 yrs ago.
Saving money and doing my part for the environment.
