Its not how you look, its when you were born. When were you born?
I heard that ascendant can tell allot about your physicall features.
I heard that ascendant can tell allot about your physicall features. And some people who share the same ascendant share many similar traits.
I'm not sure about my exact time of birth, i just know that I can be a Cancer or Leo rising.
It is possible to do a rectification of your approximate chart to determine what your time of birth is. You use significant dates in it such as major deaths of loved ones, births, marriages, other events that would have had a major impact. If enough of these can be provided, it is possible to determine the correct time. However, the farther the approximate time is from the actual time the harder it is to do.
For example we don't know the exact time of the creation of the USA. There are a large number of rectifications, and most are around July 4, 1776, at the signing of the declaration of Independence. But there is another one done by the late Richard Houck that puts it at the beginning of the Continental Congress in June, and in many ways it matches the events of the last 200+ years more accurately.
This is specialized work. Every astrologer should try their hand at it. I did it for my own chart, and for some others. Sometimes it shows up immediately. Other times it take hours and hours, and you still aren't really sure.
Its not an exact science but its more exact than using physical body characteristics.
Do you know how to do it?

Raquel there are Rectification Tips - Verifying Ascendant/MC/IC/ANGLES at http://www.astrologyweekly.com/forum/showthread.php?t=51626Do you know how to do it?
Thanks byjove, the ascendant is a perennially intriguing subject! Worth also mentioning that even within the same race there are differences of skin tone and eye colourI just thought I'd add that I have a genuine interest in these tips, both for myself and for future practice of astrology - I'm not trying to be difficult! So I'm all eyes and ears here.
Physical appearance indications are worth checking out as wellhttp://reocities.com/athens/delphi/1601/physical.html
During a wedding, particularly at the time the vows are spoken,
(a) the Ascendant Ruler and the Ruler of Cusp Seven must connect to the Natal Horizon DESC/ASC axis because that is what a wedding is, astrologically!
(b) On the wedding day - Sun, Moon, Venus and Mars must also connect to the Natal Horizon DESC/ASC axis
Why?
Venus and Mars must connect in order to symbolise the 'Archetypal Lovers'
Sun and Moon must connect in order to symbolise the 'Domestic Couple' – now united and involved in 'house-keeping', child-bearing, child rearing
Some of the ways the ASC/DESC rulers may connect to the Natal Horizon:
(1) Trine, sextile, square, opposition, conjunction
(2) Any ASC/DESC ruler conjunct the MC is considered to connect to the local horizon via the MC/IC AXIS
(3) I have noticed from my own personal observation, that the Midpoints of the transiting ASC/DESC rulers of the wedding date, frequently connect to the Natal Horizon.
A much older astrological friend (who has since died) told me they learned the technique to verify an ascendant while a student decades ago - they never asked for payment for the information: I continue to pass the method on freely to others so that anyone may test it for themselves.
If it does not work for you then check out another method – there are plenty!
Dear Raquel, I tried my level best to set your birth time ..... my suggestion is you are Leo Ascendant with sun in Virgo 29:04, Moon Pisces 4:56 ..... check out this time. I wish you all the best.Being myself a Libra Sun and Pisces moon, do you think I resemble more like a Cancer or a Leo rising?
This is very important to me.
Thank you![]()
