I do believe there is a balance of quality over mass consumption though, difference being is the "mass" normally is told what beauty is the individual with taste decides for themselves

#ScoprioVenus here as well, when I like something..I like it and the world can burn down if "they" don't like it.

Think it is a function of Scorpio Mars and a wee bit of Neptune

I was once a contrary creature that would be appreciative of the strange and different, simply because it was so. I would reject the "cool" & have disdain for the commercially beautiful. Then i turned twenty something and began to get out of my own way and experience people and things before casting my judgments and seeing beauty under the pretenses i had built up.

Beauty can be so simple, yet so deeply personal and complex. It is awesome to read about what others find beautiful. As simple as a hemline and as complicated as a feeling that exists which no words can describe.

I personally think that rust and buildings that are falling apart are absolutely beautiful. Just because something's broken doesn't mean that it's not beautiful still. to quote Henry Miller: "I have always looked upon decay as being just as wonderful and rich an expression of life as growth."

~just to be clear, in case I wasn't.

the world tears down the old and "ugly" eyesores - to make way for the new and "beautiful" it restores that which was made "beautifully" and neglects that which was commonplace then and unnecessary now because it is considered a commodity that can be replaced by something more functional and more "beautiful" by their standards.

That is not my line of thought exactly - that is just the way things work, and have worked forever...

As I said earlier... I agree most with Hera - beauty is indeed, in the eye of the beholder.

My Venus is in Leo - yet, i can find beauty even in places that others find unappealing ^^. Some personal photos of such places:

The "beautiful people"..hate other people, those considered "homely" love other people.

Artists tend to be very self contained, "average guy" tends to be very open.

Cappies, for example, tend to be artistic, but shy, Libras adore art and beauty (generalization of course).

As a Saggie sun, I tend to either love or hate things, and find beauty where most won't see it as it is not mainstream.

Can adore a 300 pd woman, and despise a 98 pd one, one to me is real, the other quite fake and merely getting by on their appearance.

Man or Woman, they annoy me to no end.

The genesis of this is my dear friend, a Libra, whom many find attractive (but I find it comical) is very much into beauty and pleasure yet..lacks an aesthetic.

What is beauty? Which signs appreciate beauty? And is beauty physical or artistic or is it found in the common?

Lol. That is exactly how i feel about gorgeous looking guys that look like they're cut out of magazines. My impression is always how they are lacking in something, and they are very boring...so readable in just one meeting, you feel there is no need for the next.

I've used to analyze tht it may be due to their circumstances - they have girls throwing themselves at them, opportunities come easier, that feeling and life experiences they did not have to put much effort into anything.

Libras are an air sign and while they appreciate beauty, it seems to be in more of a relationship sense. They communicate beautifully and are often detached or trying to speak or make peace. They can appreciate beauty like no other, but 'make it' .... with their own hands....? I've not noticed that. Relationships are an art and can be beautiful too. They tend to be professionals at that and have an eye for beauty in general. Their words are more beautiful than anything. I like my Libra NN. Comes in handy, but I don't think lends much to my artistic abllity. I give that to my earth signs.

I would have said no, as a Libra I do create beauty; but as I am double Taurus otherwise, you may be correct.

I think this is true of Sagi suns-my ex is a Sag who loved me when I was 300 lbs as well as when I lost the weight.

It was a bit weird for me for a while when I had a purely physical reaction to one of my best friends. He's like my big brother. I was reading something he wrote about smooth talking a girl and got embarrassed. It was tame to stuff I've read/seen/done before, but it was like smut. Oivay.
