from all my time in astrology these are the tidbits of knowledge i have on appearance and physical features that i gathered and remembered:
1. for beauty we of course look at venus- here it is very interesting to note physical beauty can come from the two extremes of venus- venus being very very strong like in pisces, libra or taurus- or venus being at her lowest- in virgo- both give an enhanced appearance- why?
with venus in pisces libra or taurus- because she is so strong and in her element there- she brings her best qualities to the table- it is a natural beauty- long lashes, full lips, symmetrical face and so on
with venus in virgo- the person is so absolutely self-conscious and critical over their appearance they do everything they can to enhance it and pick on every single detail until it is perfect- this also gives beauty- albeit with effort, blood, sweat and tears.
2. both sag and gemini rule length of limbs- as we now prefer as a society- more skinny and long women and men- when such a sign is strongly emphasized in the chart it will make the person longer, skinnier (especially gemini) their legs longer (especially sag)
3. as we now live in the age of contouring- high cheekbones are now a distinct feature of beauty although men may not contour- it does enhance their appearance when they have a nice bone structure to the face- saturn rules bone and bonestructure- so a strong saturnian or capricornian or 10th house emphasis would give that to the face (for example the queen of contour herself kim kardashian has a stellium with sun, pluto, saturn and jupiter all in her 10th house in libra- original house of capricorn and saturn is of course exalted in libra- add to that her venus in virgo - going back to the first point i made about venus in virgo adding her sag ascendant and we can see how many would think she is quite attractive and known for her beauty
4. the second house rules our face in general- and i have seen 9/10 times that venus placed there gives a pretty face, gentle and appealing always
5. a stellium in the second house where 4 or more planets are concentrated- usually gives someone that is known for their face (check out leo dicaprios chart for example) now this can be interpreted in any way- but i would say usually when you know someone for their face is because they are probably pretty
6. venus conjunct the north node- the node makes any planet, point or house a specific point of obsession for the native- so when your north node conjunct venus the planet of beauty- you will be obsessed with how you look and i have seen quite a bunch of pageant queens/those men that work out too much and are all pumped up and shiny with this combo
7. venus on the ascendant for men and mars on the ascendant for women gets a special shout out- as of course now your literally representing venus and mars here on earth as they blend their feminine and masculine energy with YOU- and that would give all those nice venusian things like symmetry and an ultra-feminine figure- and martian things like a sports-like build, lean muscles, athletic figure
8. if any of the above combinations are nicely aspected by pluto and also somehow in relation to the ascendant- it moves from just beautiful- to an obsessively magnetizing radiant appearance
9. but the aspect that wins- that almost always promises the most beautiful people- is sun conjunct jupiter- why? because the outer appearance actually doesnt matter- even the most beautiful women/men i have seen that are unpopular, hated by their spouses, insecure and never admired- but i have seen the ugliest women/men that are hailed by society, with twenty admirers, everyone in awe of them- and those are the ones that think they are the best thing that ever happened to humanity and that people should be thanking them for just being alive- and those people i have noticed- almost always got that special sun jupiter conjunction near the ascendant. this gives the most spectacular person- who thinks he/she IS beauty incarnated!
