I've been interested in how astrology influences the natural physical adult body in a native. I've only been studying this practice for 9 years, but I've had even newer people ask me what in the chart refers to the body. It's a peculiar yet interesting question I would like to get more insight on.
I've read a few forum pages on the subject, but few talk about the 6th house or the 2nd in relation, neither are the planets in 1st house regarded towards body (just mostly face and personality).
I'm particularly interested because I'm doing a project where I digitally piece together someone's appearance from the past (without a photo) just using other information. I decided to use astrology to assist me, but this is turning out more difficult than I anticipated. XD
I particularly see the Ascendant/Rising often being referred to the body, but I'm not sure if this is the most dominant factor.
The ruling planet of the Rising and its decanate, aspects to the Rising, some websites have said the Rising sign's, decanate (?), and planets in the first house (especially in close range to the Ascendant).
Then there's people who refer to the Sun sign, which I can't deny as Miley Cyrus, Taylor Swift, and Janelle Monae (all Sag Suns) have that distinct wide-toothed, horsey smile. However, I'm not sure if the Sun influences the body type. Some astrologers consider the Ascendant more influential than the Sun.
Some people have said the Moon sign influences chest size in women. Not sure how accurate this is, but other websites have referred to the Ascendant when thinking of chest area.
But I've also read that the 6th house rules the body, health, exercise, which can change the body type, both with the sign cusp and the planets within.
The 2nd house can change the body type as it rules resources (which I assume goes under the bracket of food too), both sign and planets within.
However, I had an astrologer tell me that those two houses aren't as distinct on the appearance as the rising sign...
Mars rules energy, and I'm assuming that someone with low energy may not exercise as much as someone with high energy...But maybe I'm wrong with this...
I'm especially having a problem with the contradictions with the websites I've been reading, especially regarding my own rising.
Many websites have said that Scorpio Rising produces a Plump figure, which I'm not and never have been. As a female, I'm super, super skinny and petite, even frail. I have Moon in Scorpio in 1st and Pluto in Scorpio in 1st. Mars is in Pisces.
The same website also referred to Taurus rising as plump, but Miley Cyrus doesn't fit that description (though maybe her round face could indicate that plumpness in the future is possible...)

Two websites got it right with me: 1) http://reocities.com/athens/delphi/1601/physical.html
2) http://www.serendipity-astrolovers.com/astrological-signs-2.html#axzz4Ke0mJWMI
Regarding the first link, the one thing I disagreed with was his take on Taurus Rising with the decanate of Taurus, as well as the one with Capricorn, which he said was mostly flat chested. Observing both Mariah Carey and Mae West, I disagree that Taurus rising women have flat chests, and think that Amelia Earhart has other influences giving her a flat chest...
But I would like to study this more and learn. If anyone can recommend books, websites, or any insight to assist me, I would be very happy and appreciative.
