As I mentioned earlier, Scorpio is a definite possibility, but we must keep in mind that this man has an emphasis upon fixed signs--Mercury in Aquarius, Venus in Scorpio, Mars in Leo, as well as the generational Saturn in Aquarius and Neptune in Scorpio. Additionally, he may have the Moon in Taurus if he was born later than 8:34 AM. (Yes, I checked!
) This may account for his squarish features.
I'm unskilled yet at applying Kannon's principles, but as an exercise, I'm going to read through the descriptions and see which physical characteristics may fit. Please tell me if you interpret a word or phrase differently, as I am learning the vocabularly of physiognomy.
Aries:
"Bony or chiseled ovate head that in men can have a skeletal suggestion"
Personally, I wouldn't characterize his head as ovate, but it certainly appears "bony" or "chiseled."
"The jawline can be narrow, but most often will be stronger than the other cardinal signs, and the neck is slimmer than normal."
His jawline appears strong, but his neck looks rather thick in the second picture.
"The eyes are active and can have a sharpness or brightness to them and there is a demeanor of energy."
He's not looking directly into the camera, so it's hard to judge this. They appears to be a sharpness to his gaze, but I don't detect the "brightness" I associate with Aries.
"They eyebrows may be bushier or thicker than normal."
His eyebrows are slightly bushy, but I don't think this is a prominent trait.
"The men can be rugged with a jutting or bony chin..."
I'd describe his chin differently than this.
"...and both sexes can be fair and ruddy, regardless of hair color (Caucasians)."
The picture quality isn't the best, so I can't judge this.
Taurus:
"Taurus rising has a head and face that is more softly rectangular, and eyes to match: often brown, rounded, full, heavily lidded with long lashes and with a more steady gaze than Aries types."
He certainly has a squarish forehead, but as I observe more closely, his face does not appear softly rectangular; it's too long.
He appears to have heavy eyelids, however.
"The nose tends to be broad or rounded at the tip."
Broad nose--check!
"The neck or throat is thicker than normal."
Thick neck--check!
Gemini:
"Gemini has a narrower head that is often longer than normal. Sometimes it is normal in length, but tapers to a narrow chin."
Longer head than normal--check!
"There is often a high forehead..."
I think I'd say he has a high forehead.
"...and the eyes can be wider apart than average."
No, his eyes do not appear to be wideset.
Cancer:
"Cancer has a rounded or oval shaped face."
Again, his face seems too longish.
"The mouth tends to be wide and there is a generally a feeling, sympathetic look to the face."
If anything, I'd say he has a narrow mouth, and I'm not sensing a particularly sympathic look.
"The skin is usually soft and the eyes will reflect this softness rather than a sharpness or intensity."
I don't know if he has soft skin, but his eyes seem sharper.
Leo:
"Leo rising has a rectangular or squarish head that is rarely small."
I've mentioned the squarish features repeatedly, but the overall face shape is more longish than rectangular.
"The eyes are usually large, even bulging, and can be especially attractive and magnetic. These eyes are more often widely-spaced than with any other sign."
His eyes aren't particularly large or widely-spaced, but they may be magnetic.
Virgo:
"Virgo rising has a tapering head that is sometimes clearly v-shaped."
This may apply.
"The cranium is large, if only at the occipital area, and the forehead may be higher than normal, but the head narrows to a small mouth with modest lips."
I didn't peg this man as a Virgo type, but this description seems accurate enough.
"The chin may look chopped off short of a full triangle."
His chin does appear to be chopped off!
"The nose generally has a pinched bridge and is often straight and down-pointing."
The bridge of his nose appears to be wide, and I woudn't describe it as down-pointing.
"The eyes are closer together and smaller than most any Leo rising."
This I may agree with.
Libra:
"Libra rising produces a rounded, ovate head that is normally smallish unless altered by planets."
No, his head definitely is not smallish!
"Even the chin tends to be rounded and with a dimple or cleft."
No, his chin clearly is not rounded.
"The eyes and mouth are generally well-shaped and attractive, even if they are not models or beauty queens. The eyes are generally light, and in Caucasians can be of mixed color (blue-green). The skin is normally smooth, soft and complexion good."
I'm getting increasingly lazy, so I haven't separated these sentences. His eyes appear to be light, but it's difficult to ascertain is skin texture or complexion.
I've run out of energy, so I'm going to stop here. I know I haven't analyzed the traits of Scorpio Ascendant, yet, but I still get this "vibe" from him.
