Mav,

I am not that knowledgeable about astrology. There are still many things I need to learn. Also, I believe there is no fixed rule in astrolgoy. If you want to know how the native's fingers look like, in my opinion you should consider the following elements in a chart:

1. The planet having rulership over the fingers: Mercury
2. The sign having rulership over the fingers: Gemini

How shall we look at these indicators?

First, we must look at where Mercury is. Having found the sign where Mercury is, we must apply the physical symbolism of the sign to the part of the body ruled by Mercury. Fingers, in your case. (But also other parts of the body and organs, such as arms, lungs etc.)

Then, the aspects casted/received by Mercury will give you further details about this part of the body.

Also, repeat the same process, this time starting from the sign symbolizing the fingers, Gemini, and analyzing the planets you find in Gemini.

When planets are evenly spread in different signs, this is quite easy to do. When in a chart there is just one big stellium, or most planets form stellia, it is a lot more difficult. But in this case, I normally refrain from using this method and employ another technique to understand how the chart works,

I have my natal Mercury involved in a tight stellium with the Sun and Venus in Aries in my first house...therefore it shares a conjunction with each of these planets. Mercury's next tightest aspect is a sextile to Mars in Gemini, which has a one degree orb; it also makes a loose square to Saturn (three degree orb) and Neptune (four degree orb), both located in my tenth house of Capricorn.

I do not know much about the physical characteristics of Aries except that it rules the head and may incline a person to have a reddish tinge to their skin and/or hair, especially if its ruler Mars is exalted there. However, as I mentioned before, my natal Mars is located in my third house of Gemini, which leads me to the next part of my post...

Also, repeat the same process, this time starting from the sign symbolizing the fingers, Gemini, and analyzing the planets you find in Gemini.

Mars is basically unaspected in my natal chart with the exception a double inconjunct received from Saturn (two degree orb) and Pluto (one degree orb). Jupiter, also located in Gemini but in my second house, makes a perfect square with my twelfth house North Node in Pisces; it also makes an inconjunct aspect (one degree orb) to my natal Uranus and loosely sextiles my Ascendant (three degree orb).

When planets are evenly spread in different signs, this is quite easy to do. When in a chart there is just one big stellium, or most planets form stellia, it is a lot more difficult. But in this case, I normally refrain from using this method and employ another technique to understand how the chart works

My chart consists of two main stelliums--one involving my inner planets in Aries and the other involving my outer planets in Capricorn--but fortunately, Mars and Jupiter are somewhat spread apart in Gemini and my eighth house Pluto singleton in Scorpio provides some much-needed energy on the left side of my chart. Hopefully, I will still be able to employ your methods...

Thank you!

I have mars in gemini and a scar on my left palm, howzat! and some good aspect to merc such as jupiter sex and pluto trine. Don't think they add much to the appearance of my hands.

Otherwise mercury in Aqu, conj sun and opposed by saturn.

 

[Arian Maverick]

Jupiter sex?

I'm sorry, I know you meant sextile, but you have to admit that was funny

[Shimmy26]

Jupiter sex?

Hehe AM, I was laughing right along with you.....maybe it's just our age - perhaps we still have some of that "youngin' immaturity"? We shall see if anyone else finds "Jupiter sex" amusing.

And that whole long/slender hands/fingers thing is quite simple for me, as I have Mercury in Gemini in the 3rd . I would take a closer look at it, but it's getting late, I have school tomorrow (oh, how I look forward to my spare though!), and I'm basically running on a caffeine high (but a tea one at that).

Hmm, the eye thing has me thinking though, as I am a late Aquarius rising (26 degrees, if my mother is right - AM ever since you found out your real birth data, it's had me paranoid that my mom was wrong also), with all 30 degrees of Pisces in the 1st. Maybe my eyes are some sort of combination or something. They are green with gold flecks, and have a largeness to them, but I still can't completely distinguish whether they are Piscean or Aquarian. Maybe I'll post a picture of them sometime soon, but I am a little paranoid of having my picture out there......maybe I can find a baby pic of them.

Jupiter sex - when you have a jolly good romp but then your partner crushes you.

I was wondering that because pisces rules skin and pisces ruler is Neptune that the reason why I get bad eczema is because I have neptune opposed mars. This might explain the inflammation of skin.

 

[blumen]

Yes, and if I am not wrong Neptune rules allergies as well. Check also the Moon and see if it casts hard aspects to either Neptune or Mars.

Hi all,

This is a good idea to have a board to post our pictures. I would love to post a pic, but I don't yet have a digital camera and I can't work out how to bring up photos on a forum from a mobile phone (how do you do this?).

Draco

 

[Arian Maverick]

Draco, I don't have a digitial camera either and I've never had a camera phone. Do you have a scanner by any chance? This is how I was able to upload pictures to the forum...

Sorry to steer off track here but I found this discussion interesting.

I am terribly allergic to cats. They make give me terrible eczema if my skin comes into contact with cat fur, and if the fur subtance, whatever it is, gets into my eyes, then I'm in real trouble, they'll swell up so much I can hardly see and they get terribly itchy and watery.

I had wondered where skin allergies might be in my chart, and I find the Moon, Neptune and Mars to be probably significant.

My Moon is in Leo, the feline sign, in the 6th house of health disorders and also small animals. I think this might say something about my allergy, but the Moon is also square from Mars in my chart, and Mars has packed a good punch to the Moon as it is conjunct Uranus, and has great power being in it's domicile and triplicity of Scorpio.

I have Neptune, right upon the MC, so it dominates my chart, and Neptune also aspects the Moon by trine.

I think these could be indicators of my allergy, my Moon in the cat sign in the house of cats and allergies, coming off a punishing and powerful square from a Uranian Mars, giving rashing, irritation and itching. I'm not sure quite why Neptune would rule allergies, I'd go for the Moon, but if it does, then it's trine to my Moon and conjunction to the MC can't help. : (

Why does Pisces rule the skin? I cannot come to a logical deduction as to why this would be. What is your justification for this association? Perhaps Neptunes association came from the association with Pisces. While I accept the outer planets as having some astrological effect, I strongly disagree with them having rulership of any signs.

I have always had extremely sensitive skin, and I think the Moon might have a lot to do with this.

Mav,

Unfortunately I am without a scanner too - although I wouldn't up for scanning my face anyway! :? That might look rather strange.

I am sure that photo's on mobile phones can be brought up onto a computer but I have no idea how to do this. Probably by texting the picture to a certain address or something, or connecting the phone with the computer somehow, I have no idea.

I imagine in the future, it will probaly commonplace to have a live moving picture of yourself in the corner rather than an avatar.

I will send a pic when I find out how I can.

Draco - I think any affliction of neptune might suffice for eczema. I'm not sure how the moon is related though, but your Moon square Mars might have an impact. After all, mars is about anger, heat, red, hot, aggravation etc.

My moon is in positive relationship to neptune (sex) and mars (trine).

 

[eonechoes]

My Ascendant is Gemini, and I have rather long arms, "air hands" (long palms, long fingers), my eyes go from grey to green to blue. So, that makes sense.

I'm quite thin though, even now at my "heavy" weight of about 93lbs., so I would say my rising sign does very much reflect how I look.

 

[Arian Maverick]

93 pounds...? Dear God, I wish I was that "fat"!

Alas, I have my natal moon within a few degrees of my Ascendant, giving me a rather "womanly figure." Oh well.

I do count myself very lucky. I've had a strange appetite lately though, either wanting to eat a lot or nothing. It could have to do with my messed up sleep schedule; I haven't been able to sleep due to a restless mind, my Mercury is in Pisces and my Moon is in Gemini, so I feel like I cannot use any logic, and instead of having thoughts I have feelings, when thinking to myself, and yet I have no patience with my feelings because of my annoyed Gemini Moon. So I'm slow and I have no patience with myself *rolls eyes*. I love my chart but my ambundance of Gemini and ambundance of Pisces are definitely at war with each other often. So it makes me take sleeping pills. Lol.

Ugh, I'm getting more disgusted with myself by the minute...life is so unfair

Rasputin was a notorious monk in Russia and the parmour of Tsarina Alexandra.

I remember reading in Encyclopaedia Britannica that his birthdate was 22 Jan. Whether this is old or new style calendar, I don't know. But as far as I am concerned, he definitely has Aqu traits and must have something in Aqu - famous for corrupting and charming people. While the spirituality and monkness must be pisces or a powerful neptune which probably has been afflicted in his case.

Astrodatabank says, with regard to Rasputin's data:

'Lina Accurso writes on 2/1998 that she saw an A&E biography on 11/25/1997 in which Rasputin's church records read January 10, 1869 (OS). Filipe Ferreira quotes BBC-Timewatch documentary of 6/08/1994, "The Real Rasputin," which showed a recently discovered birth record with the information of January 10, 1869. Ferreira wrote to the Rasputin Museum asking if a time is known, but there was no answer. The same date is given in Edvard Radzinsky's "Rasputin: The Last Word," Phoenix, London, 2000, pp 30-32 (copy in LMR files). Becky Altschuler writes, " Grigory Efimovich Rasputin was born in the Tyumen district of the province of Tobol in the village of Pokrovskoe...... A census of the residents of the village of Pokrovskoe was found in the Tyumen archive, and appearing next to the name Grigory Rasputin in the column for 'year, month, and day of birth' is the date 10 January 1869." Book notes this is the day of Saint Grigory for whom he was named. This is from Edvard Radzinsky "The Rasputin File," Doubleday, 2000. pp. 24-25. A notation in the front of the book states that all dates are from the Old Style calendar."'

So, yes, Sun and Mercury in Aquarius by the looks of things, with Mercury squared by a Moon/Pluto conjunction in Taurus, and sextile with Neptune (which is also conjunct Jupiter)

 

[Arian Maverick]

When I visited my local Barnes & Nobles about week ago, I was browsing through a book about Rising Signs and read that Rasputin had an Aries Ascendant...I admit that I was a bit skeptical, though, as I have not yet seen any reputable source verify an accurate birth time.

I have actually added one of my photos to Astrofaces and it is under the Sun Taurus Moon Taurus part. There are only 3 people there with Sun/Moon Taurus and Leo rising. I'm the one in the middle. The lady to my left has similar eyes to me but isn't smiling so it's hard to tell if her eyes do what mine do when she smiles.

Anyway, I'll try to add a picture here - another techno-challenge, lol!

I have a big mouth when I smile - often wondered if that's something to do with having Jupiter rising. I have dark brown hair, dark brown eyes, which fit with Taurus, but have never put weight on. I'm 5ft 8 and very slim. My skin colouring has a yellowish tinge to it. I'm also supposed to look quite young for my age (according to other people) - I'm nearly 39.

Apologies if the pics are a bit big :?
I'm still not sure why it is that I don't put weight on as far as astrological signatures are concerned - Jupiter is meant to do that, as is Taurus. Shouldn't I be huge? Lol! All I can think is that it may be a nervous energy thing? I have Uranus/Pluto in Virgo closely trine Mercury and the Sun in Taurus. Mars also quincunx Mercury.

This is my chart to make it easier to see what's going on...

 

[Draco]

Hi Lou,

I'm nearly 39.

Really? You certainly don't look it! Are they recents pics?

You're rather gothic looking. Saturn on the MC perhaps?
