Ascendant Physical Traits

[JamieGallo]

My birth time is not specific, I know its around 9:30 (Libra rising) but 9:31 makes me a Scorpio rising. My mom thinks I was born after 9:30 but everyone tells me I look like Libra rising. What specific physical traits do both of these Ascendants possess?

Is there anyone on here who can tell by a photograph?

The only quality of mine that matches a Scorpio is that people have told me I have intense eyes. However, I think its mainly because my eyes are large and round and the intensity could be coming from my fire sun sign. Also, I'm not secretive or quiet, I'm usually very talkative and socialize easily on almost ANY topic. I also use my hands to talk, and smile a lot when I'm out. I have Sun in Aries, Moon in Leo, by the way.

Any help is much appreciated!

If you have a scorpio rising, I think you would have deep eyes....intense and perhaps large....(scorpio woman are the only people I can pick by asc.....)
I dont have a lot of faith in these methods, but just throwing out my 2 cents worth anyway

Are you a man or a woman? Libra women tend to be curvy...do you like belts or feet?

[Susan Harding]

There is a great book with descriptions of 144 physical descriptions of Sun sign plus Ascendants and it is very accurate.

It is a small book called "Sun Sign Revelations".

I'm a woman. I'm not very curvy, however I do like belts a lot.

[Arian Maverick]

Physical appearance is just as determined by planets in the first house--especially planets conjunct the Ascendat--just as it is determined by the sign the Ascendant is located in.

For example, my birth certificate gives me an early Aries Ascendant, which is a sign that is generally associated with tall, wiry individuals. However, I also have the Moon conjunct my Ascendant, which has bestowed me a traditional feminine figure.

I recommend that you read Keys to Your External Self: LIBRA Rising and Decans--particularly the interpretation of the last decanate of Libra--and Keys to Your External Self: SCORPIO Rising and Decans--particularly the interpretation of the first decanate of Scorpio. I have my time of birth recorded on my birth certificate, but like you, I am uncertain about my Ascendant sign because I was born three minutes after the Ascendant changed from Pisces to Aries. This sight suggests that I have a Pisces Ascendant, yet the traits could also be associated with the Moon conjunct my Ascendant. Therefore, I recommend that you take planets in the first house into consideration as well.

Thanks for your interest! to confirm, I so have thick, wavy hair growing down low on my neck. However, I am not big boned or even broad shouldered, neither do I have wide hips; I am quite petite - could that be the Aquarian sun leaking through or the Capricorn moon.

I agree that you should consider first house planets for appearance.
Also, I believe if a planet is strong, that might have an effect. For ex, if venus is in libra or conjunct your sun.

But in general, libra rising -
a more mild & sweet appearance. Do people tell you that you have a nice smile? Do you have dimples? I've got a lot of libra in my chart. I'm not curvy though.

For scorpio rising, -
a sharper, more intense look. Piercing eyes. Sharp, strong nose.

[Lunatic]

Sweet smile and dimples = definitely libra trait. A lot of Libras I know have a cleft chin. I'm very good at guessing someone's acendant or moon, by their physical appearance, but I don't know what configuration makes someone look more like another aspect in the chart than their sun sign.

Yes, except for my thick, wavy hair, I do not have much Leo-rising like appearance, but then my AC starts at almost 25° Leo, so the major part of my first house falls in Virgo - which could give me the shy, delicate look. My AC is opposed by mercury (retro), which is in Aquarius. My guess is that with women, the moon - mainly the sign it is in - comes to the foreground when it comes to appearances. I have my moon in Capricorn, though I'm not bony, but am considered thin; and above all though I am Leo AC, I'd wear any colour except yellows and orange. My wardrobe is all black or at least dark(capricorn); or blues and greys (aquarian colours).
One more thing: you always read about Aquarians having a love for loud/ beon colours like neon yellow, pink etc. With an Aquarian sun; I can't confirm that at all; except that I have a style of my own; am a trend-setter (though nothing extraordinary) and do have people turning up with what I had on a day or two before.

Best way to rectify a chart is with solar arcs..

Solar arcs are really simple, especially for beginners, just move the Angles, Asc, Desc, MC, IC 1' for each year of your life onto planets and vice versa. Not just used for rectification either. Under age 12 though these interpretations are directed towards family changes, maybe relocation, job changes, illnesses, additions to family etc. Another example is my Pluto is 28' Leo in 7th house and my Uranus is 3' Leo in same house to subtract these and you get age 25. That year my then husband and I had an almighty explosion (Uranus) and transformation (Pluto) of that marriage that started the demise and ultimate ending thereof....

Further research on solar arcs try these threads.

· Transiting Pluto square, conj opp Asc, Desc, MC, IC
· If under 12’ when it conj an Angle then their age was under age 12 it’s parents adjustments. A death, change within father’s work, a separation, remarriage.
· Adults or teens, 1st job, identity transformation MC.
· Pluto conj Desc = death, health concerns, geographic, significant relationship or break up, but has to be ‘life transforming’
· Also try transiting Neptune, something dissolving, disappearing, confusing etc.
· Timings of transits… is it the 1st hit? More often it’s the middle retrograde hit… but could be the last direct hit also. 1’ =4minutes in time.

I know this is an older thread, but I will comment anyway.

I have yet to see a Libra rising, including men with the rising sign who didn't have a "pear shape body" or carry most of their weight in their lower extremities. No offense to anyone, it's just what I have seen with every Libra rising I have come across...

With Scorpio rising, I do notice the compelling eyes as a usual trait. What's more, they are usually on the shorter side yet have very "sturdy" looking bodies.

What about Virgo ascendants?

You know I haven't noticed as many "tell tale" physicial characteristics of Virgo rising as other signs. In general, usually average height and well proportioned bodies if I had to say any thing. Maybe a little smaller boned. Of course any ASC is altered by planets in the first house. Uranus is the 1st house will always make one tall. Moon on the ACS will usually give a round face, Sun to a lessor degree. Moon, Jupiter, and sometimes Sun on the ASC will denote weight problems if not watched. Also, the before mentioned in aspect to the ASC can do this too. Saturn in the 1st or on the ASC will make one thin. Sag ACS, usually they are skinny when they are children and young adults, then they have a tendency to put on a lot of weight as they age. Of course aging in general can do this, but I notice particularly with this rising sign.

Lol! I know 2 Virgo ascendant men who are Tall and thin with "perfect" noses.

[Graviton]

I would actually say that the observer's astrology may better explain this. I have Cancer ascending and I can pick up a person's emotions almost as if they're my own.

[lilcanadien19]

anyone really good at geuss ascendants cuz im more curious on what my greats aunts ascendants are, more for the one with the blonde curly hair, cuz i look like her when she was young, spitting image, but anyones me and her get along really well, we have both moons in libra, bother water sun signs, now im just wondering if are ascendants match, mine is a scorpio risng,cancer/leo cusp sun.

[byjove]

Are there any Leo asc here or do you know any who aren't...(please excuse the cliché) loud and attention-seeking? I've always followed my hospital-given birth time but have gone back and realized I've chosen not to go with 3 people's accounts which differ. I'm dealing with later Cancer rising, Leo or Virgo. I've Moon in Virgo and heavy Pisces (Mercury, Venus) and strong Aries (Sun, Jupiter, NN) regardless. Pride and a burning willpower of Leo I understand but I'm not showy much, when younger yes, now no and the loud part always turned me away. I have Sun trine Saturn exactly regardless and that changes things big time.

Body:
Medium sized face, small eyes, can vacilate between watery to strong and piercing. Medium sized nose, notoriously small ears, (Mercury input?) round jaw but strong jaw line. High forehead.

I'm of medium height, very slim. Stomach shows some muscles (I didn't earn them lol) and very muscled legs incl. thighs. My hands are medium sized, palms are large with short fingers.

i've met a lot of aquarius sun people who love wearing super LOUD, neon, tacky 80s and 90s colors and patterns... and they're in their 30s. every time i go out with any aqua friends, they would pretty much do their upmost to wear the brightest colors to make sure to blind everyone on the dark dance floor. i think it's hilarious but i think this tendency goes to 2 reasons: 1. aquas love to shock others and wearing bold colors is a good way to get that sort of reaction 2. all aquas deep down want to be like leos (attention grabbing, striking, automatic limelight) but won't admit to it

also, i've known quite a few aqua sun, cap moon combos who shun the loud color schemes and opt for capricorn/conservative colors (black and grays) and clothing. probably the moon has a lot to do with clothing choices.

i'm a libra-libra rising and i do not have a pear shaped body. my weight is pretty evenly distributed. granted, i have jupiter and saturn conj ascendant so maybe that's why my weight is fairly stabilized. i do know what you mean by pear shape being tied to libra because i've noticed that too... but see it with libra sun women. libra rising can pretty much go either way from what i've observed (chubby or thin).

as for the scorpio rising, the intense eyes are very noticeable. it seems like there's even a red ring around their eyes and makes their eyes extra pronounced. i've met several scorpio risings and they tend to be pretty extreme of either being remarkably thin to being morbidly obese.

my ex is leo, scorpio, virgo. he's striking because of the leo sun, scorpio intense eyes, and tall thinness from virgo rising with a perfect nose.

Ascendant Physical Traits is an intriguing subject for study

Likewise within the race of white/whitish people some siblings are darker complexioned than others.

Focusing on height, weight, bone structure, eye colour gives overall good results

Lucky you to have Saturn on the ASC. My friend has this and she had her thyroid removed and STILL didn't gain an ounce! She's very thin. But yes, planets on the ASC will definitely change the appearance. The other thing I have noticed with Libra rising if they aren't pear shaped, they typically will have very small if any breast at all and nice bubble butt's even though not pear shaped. Still, the weight is distributed in the lower half.

Where does the perfect nose come from, Virgo Rising? My ex was Virgo rising, guess you could say he has a perfect nose.
