BEAUTY INDICATORS IN NATAL CHART

✦ Hi there!I did a little poll asking whether you’d prefer a post on fame indicators or beauty indicators in astrology, and beauty ended up getting more love — so I put together a post all about that.

Just keep in mind — beauty is subjective and influenced by many factors beyond astrology. Still, these indicators often show up in the charts of people widely admired for their looks or charm. Also, these are just my personal observations, so feel free to share more beauty indicators in the comments!

I will analyze the asteroids in my next post! Hope you enjoy it!

PLANETS & POINTS

1. Venus – the planet of beauty, love, and aesthetics

Strong Venus (e.g., in Taurus, Libra, or Pisces) – enhances beauty, grace, and charm. The beauty of these three signs are very different tho. Taurus brings sexy and seductive beauty, Libra brings elegant and noble beauty, Pisces brings ethereal, mysterious and dreamy beauty.

Venus in the 1st house – beautiful appearance, charm that’s obvious to others.

Venus conjunct or near Ascendant – one of the strongest beauty aspects, often seen in people considered physically attractive. Of course it depends on the aspects that Venus has too but most of the times even if their faces are not that symmetrical, they have this elegant/beautiful/charming aura in them. Venus conjunct ASC – often seen in celebrities like: Angelina Jolie, Cameron Diaz (Cancer – captivating eyes); Bella Hadid, Charlize Theron (Virgo – clean, sharp elegance); Rihanna (Aries – bold and fierce beauty); Beyonce (Libra-elegant beauty), Selena Gomez (in Leo, they often radiate that ‘IT girl’ or ‘IT guy’ energy), Sandra Bullock (in Gemini, these folks mostly look cunning/smart/young),  Aamir Khan (in Pisces, these folks have enchanted/impressive eyes just like Neptune conjunct ASC).  This aspect often brings striking beauty. Men with Venus conjunct the Ascendant often have soft, elegant features, a fashion-forward sense, or an appreciation for art and aesthetics. E.g. Jude Law (in Sagittarius).  Folks that have this aspect in Scorpio look so sexy and mysterious at the same time.

Venus in aspect to Moon – adds softness, femininity, emotional appeal. Hard aspects also count.

Venus in aspect to Jupiter – generosity, charm, attractive energy. Again, hard aspects also count. E.g. Mila Kunis and Monica Bellucci (Venus-Jupiter square).

2. Ascendant (Rising Sign) – how others see you physically

Libra, Taurus, Pisces, or Leo Rising – often associated with symmetrical, attractive, or artistically appealing features.

Ruling planet of Ascendant well-placed or dignified – enhances physical presence and magnetism. E.g. If you are a Gemini/Virgo rising with an exalted Mercury (in Gemini or Virgo), in 1st/3rd /5th/7th/10th/11th house, and has aspects with Venus, Jupiter or Neptune, the likelihood of your beauty increases. This beauty will most likely be youthful, smart, clean (with Virgo) looking beauty. I’m a Gemini rising with Mercury in Virgo, at the end of 4th/beginning of 5th and my Mercury trines with Neptune. People always tell me I look so young, around 23-24 even though I’m already 30 lol.

Venus Trine, or Sextile Ascendant – Enhances physical beauty, grace, and pleasant facial features. E.g. Ariana Grande (Capricorn Rising with strong Taurus Venus), Britney Spears (Libra Rising), Mark Hamill (Capricorn rising with Virgo Venus-when I tell you it generally gives a beauty just like a woman has, I guess you got the meaning), Natalie Portman (Sco rising with Cancer Venus), Jennifer Lawrence (Sag rising with Leo Venus).

3. Moon – face, femininity, softness

Moon in 1st house or near/conjunct ASC-Pure, innocent, or soulful beauty. Their eyes may be especially expressive. There's a gentleness and softness in their appearance or aura. E.g. Henry Cavill (Aquarius), Scarlett Johansson (Scorpio-Sag), Miranda Kerr(Cancer), Michael Jackson (Pisces), Kirsten Dunst( Leo), Jackie Chan (Gemini), Kate Winslet (Libra), Katie Holmes(Leo), Rihanna (Aries), Audrey Hepburn (Aqua-Pisces), Katy Perry (Sco), Taylor Lautner (Taurus), Mariah Carey (Cancer), Bella Hadid (Virgo), Kendall Jenner(Pisces-Aries).

Moon in Taurus/Libra or Cancer – soft features, nurturing energy, feminine appeal.

Moon-Venus or Moon-Neptune aspects – dreamy, gentle, emotional beauty. E.g.:Emma Stone (Moon-Venus conj. in Libra + squares Neptune); Keanu Reeves (Venus-Moon Conj. in Cancer+ trines Neptune); Brad Pitt (Venus-Moon conj. in Cap+ sextiles Neptune); Rihanna (Venus-Moon conj. in Aries+ squares Neptune); Blake Lively (Venus-Moon conj. in Virgo); Halle Berry (Cancer Venus conjuncts Leo Moon ); Kendall Jenner (Moon Venus trine + Neptune sextiles both of them); Will Smith (Moon conj. Neptune in Scorpio); Justin Timberlake (Moon conj. Neptune in Sag).

4. Neptune – ethereal, mysterious beauty

Neptune conjunct/near Ascendant – dreamy, otherworldly appearance, alluring presence.   These individuals often have fairy-like, dreamy features with mystical eyes — often light or blue in color. Also they look good on photos. E.g. Sebatian Stan (Sag), Dakota Johnson (Cap), Naomi Watts (Scorpio), Zac Efron (Cap), Marilyn Monroe(Leo), Ariana Grande(Cap), Kim Kardashian (in Sag), Adriana Lima (Sag), Anne Hathaway (Sag), Mila Kunis (Sag), Kylie Jenner(Cap), Nicole Kidman(Sco)

Neptune-Venus aspects – magnetic, enchanting, creative beauty. E.g. Hugh Jackman-Matt Damon-Demi Moore-Miley Cyrus (Venus Neptune conj. in Scorpio), Rose Leslie-Michael B. Jordan-Meg Ryan (Venus-Neptune conj. in Cap), Gigi Hadid (Neptune-Venus sextile), Hailey Bieber-Gal Gadot (Venus-Neptune square), Zendaya (Venus-Neptune opposition), Kylie Jenner (Venus Neptune trine).

5. Jupiter – amplifies whatever it touches

Jupiter in the 1st house – attractive aura, warmth, sometimes a larger-than-life presence.Brings a healthy, attractive glow. E.g. Margot Robbie (Cancer).

Jupiter-Venus – charm, luck in love and social graces. Trines: Kit Harington(water), Emma Stone(air), Emilia Clarke(water), Blake Lively(earth-fire), Tom Hiddleston(air) , Emma Watson(water). Conjunctions: Scarlett Johansson(Cap), J. Rhys Meyers (Gemini), Austin Butler(Leo-Virgo), Demi Lovato (Virgo), Beyonce ( Libra), Jennifer Lawrence (Leo), Anne Hathaway (Sco), Halle Berry (Cancer). Opposition: Jennifer Anniston.

6.Pluto-Magnetic Beauty

Pluto conjunct or near ASC- These folks are mostly hypnotic, mysterious, powerful, even if they can’t explain why. Their beauty may not be “traditional,” but it’s deeply captivating — there’s a dark allure to them.

 They can intimidate and attract people at the same time — like a siren call. They have piercing or intense eyes and a serious or watchful expression even when relaxed. E.g. Leonardo Dicaprio (Libra), Keanu Reeves (Virgo), Kate Winslet (Libra), Al Pacino (Leo), Jack Nicholson (Leo-Cancer), Katy Perry (Scorpio), Justin Bieber (Scorpio), Kurt Cobain (Virgo), George W. Bush (Leo), Beyonce (Libra).

Venus, Neptune, or Moon in the 1st – physical attractiveness or softness in looks.

Sun in the 1st – radiant, noticeable, strong presence.

Neptune in the 10th House- They might be known for their aesthetic, artistic, or spiritual presence — People may see them as angelic, graceful, elegant, or dreamy. E.g. Monica Bellucci.

FIXED STARS ASSOCIATED WITH BEAUTY

Regulus (Leo 29°50’) – Associated with charisma and royal beauty. E.g. Dua Lipa has Sun-Venus conjunction at the degree of Regulus.

Aldebaran (Gemini 9° 47’) – Enhances attractiveness with striking features. E.g. Marilyn Monroe and Heidi Klum have Sun conjunct Aldebaran.

Spica (Libra 23° 52’) – Brings grace, charm, and refinement. E.g. Kendrick Lamar has ASC conjunct Spica.

ASPECTS TO NOTE

Venus conjunct, sextile, or trine Ascendant – very strong beauty indicator.

Venus conjunct Moon, Jupiter, or Neptune – graceful, warm, or dreamy beauty.

Sun-Venus – radiance and magnetic charm.

Mercury-Venus – cute, youthful, witty beauty.

BONUS: SIGNS OF BEAUTY

Some signs are associated with beauty more than others due to their ruling planets:

Libra (ruled by Venus): symmetry, elegance (Beyonce has strong Libra placements)

Taurus (ruled by Venus): earthy, natural charm (E.g. Gigi Hadid and Jessica Alba have strong Taurus placements)

Pisces (ruled by Neptune): dreamy, soft, poetic looks (Kurt Cobain, Lily Collins, Jensen Ackles have strong Pisces placements.)

Leo (ruled by the Sun): radiant, striking (E.g. Selena Gomez has strong Leo placements)

Gemini (ruled by Mercury): youthful, lively (E.g. Kylie Minogue and Heidi Klum have strong placements)

That’s it, guys! See you in my next post!

If she does get cast, then it's obvious the show isn't about adapting Narnia--it's about The Message. And honestly what better way of driving that Message home than by basterdizing a Christian story.

Cos Christianity is the antithesis of the Liberal modern media Message. Its about self sacrifice instead of self-centeredness. It's about finding identity in Christ, instead of in ourselves and our actions. It's about worship of God, not worship of Me. Its about freedom through obedience, not freedom through doing whatever you want. It's about The Truth.

Taking a preexisting, loved story as a vessel of The Message is common these days with all the reboot remake live action culture. Taking a preexisting, loved Christian story pushes The Message even more and has the additional 'benefit' of attacking directly at the enemy of The Message.

But Christ has already won, and every act against Him and His people and the beautiful art of His followers are just the devil throwing a tantrum and ruining what is good because he can't win.

I know you probably get this everyday, but would you be so nice as to show the proper hieroglyphs for Osiris.

It was my dogs name and I lost him unexpectedly yesterday. He was my best friend and I’m devastated. I’d like to engrave his proper name in his urn.

Oh love I'm so sorry, losing a companion animal is awful, and when it happens unexpectedly it can be so much worse.

Here's Osiris' proper name in hieros, most commonly rendered as Wesir:

However, since it was your dog's name, I've taken the liberty of rendering it with a dog hiero at the end, and adding mAa-xrw, meaning "true of voice" or "justified", which was a common epithet for the deceased.

Because I didn't know what shape of urn you were thinking of, I also rendered it vertically (and more vertically) for you:

Sending you many good thoughts. <3

Thinking more about Akechi's rank 3, and about its flow into rank 4 at the jazz club—where Akechi begins to open up to Ren, by taking him somewhere special to him that he hasn't shared with anyone else.

Don't you think it seems off, on a first glance? Like it doesn't work? Because Akechi does not seem to entirely appreciate Ren's intervention. If you look at their phone call afterwards, it seems like Akechi lost control in the café, and is trying to take that back from Ren. He threatens him with what Ren "took" from him!—"I'll be dictating everything, from hair to accessories". Ren dictated the hair and accessories in rank 3, and now Akechi needs to do the same!

Make no mistake, this exchange, while cute as a button, is also Akechi struggling to regain some control that he feels he lost. He needs payback; he needs to meet Ren's challenge; he needs more.

So what's going on?

always in chains

As Akechi mentions in the engine room:

This line, of course, suffers in translation, so let's take a closer look:

Akechi 君は、今までの自分とか、人間関係とか⋯そういうものに囚われない。 kimi wa, ima made no jibun to ka, ningen kankei to ka… sou iu mono ni torawarenai You don't allow yourself to be enslaved by such things as human relations or past selves…

Did you understand this line on its first pass? Or at all? "Past selves"? What is this, Akechi, are we bringing in reincarnation now? What do you even mean by "human relations", is this a biology class?

Let's rework it a little. ima made no jibun—that's "the you until now". We might say "who you've always been". And ningen kankei—well, that is "human relations", translated very literally. But nobody would ever say that—it just means "relationships"! When you talk about your ningen kankei, you're often talking about your skills with relationships—how you get on with people. And Akechi gets on with people very well.

So what is he actually saying?

You don't allow yourself to be enslaved by such things as human relations or past selves… You're not a slave to expectations, or to how others see you.

Akechi will later tell us that these chains have bound him since his earliest days:

Those chains are the core of the resentment and envy he feels for Ren. More than anything Shido could potentially do to him, the expectations of others are what bind and torment Akechi. And this difference in how Akechi and Ren respond to outside pressure is one of the most important contrasts between them.

back to rank 3

So what does all of this tell us about rank 3, when Akechi is spotted by celebrity hunters?

In this situation, Akechi can't do anything but leave. He has to be the good boy everyone expects. He can't just sit there soaking up the adulation, and it seems clear that he isn't so inclined—look at the way he cringes away in his seat, and more to the point, look at his face:

Before he's accosted, his sprite and model match—he is probably genuinely pleased! But afterwards, though the sprite is sad, the model looks angry. Akechi can't confront his fans and ask them to leave him in peace. He can't dare to be angry with them, even though he's spitting tacks. He is chained—he can only ever do what people expect "Goro Akechi" to do.

Not just as a celebrity, but in every sphere of his life, even when he's carping to Sae or showing off for Shido, he is a slave to his public image—to the expectations others have of him. He cannot act outside that box. Society put Akechi in chains from babyhood—and his response was to own them, to build a bigger, better cell for himself. That he understands—he tells us how it works repeatedly!—and that he recognises, but can never escape.

So what is it that Akechi learns about Ren, in rank 3? It's that if you dare put Ren Amamiya in a cell, he'll tear it down.

Akechi could only dream of acting the way Ren does in this moment. Ren takes a huge risk here—on how Akechi will react, on how the crowd will react—and it pays off. Rather than submitting to the chains others place on him, Ren refuses to be bound. Ren is ungovernable.

Of course that's catnip to Akechi. Of course, even though it unnerves him, he wants more. He's drawn to Ren like a moth to flame—and this is the genesis of the bitter envy that will become so toxic by rank 8.

Today my therapist told me she thinks I have ASPD, just in a really atypical way. Like I am super hyper aware of both myself and what I'm feeling, and other people and what they're feeling, and I react accordingly. So like I have cognitive empathy and I'm also good at catching and analyzing impulsive thoughts/behaviour in myself. Which makes it so I don't externally present typical ASPD symptoms. But I still have like the lack of respect for rules/authority, and absence of emotional empathy, and inability to connect with people, and like a general malaise for people as a whole, and alllll the other bits that are characteristic for ASPD. So like ???

Idk. I've known Something beyond just autism and generic trauma responses was going on for a long time now, and I've been suspecting a cluster B of some kind for about a year. It's just. Relieving? To finally have someone be like "yeah you probably have ASPD". Because like now I have a name for all these symptoms and experiences I feel, that makes sense and legitimizes all of it.
