More specifically, the area of appearance is best understood through our rising (AKA ascendant) signs.

Your rising sign is the zodiac sign that was ascending on the horizon at your exact time of birth.

It is not the same as your Sun sign, which is based on a general set of dates.

Its the ultimate precedent of everything you were, are, or will become.

you could still check your Sun signs and somewhat resonate with the descriptions below.

Especially if your Sun sign is also a few other signs.

However, appearance in context of astrology is best understood through the ascendant/rising sign.

Check both for further insight on your personal situation.

You have bright and alluring eyes with a generally nice complexion.

Favors dark and red hues.

Along with the natural look, you sure do rock it.

The women may feel self-conscious wearing their hair up for this reason.

Because of overactive hormones playing into your younger experiences, you started out self-conscious until you reached late adolescence.

Neck:Your neck is either long or wide, depending on your lifestyle growing up.

Be mindful of this and correct your neck posture.

With Mercury on the ascendant, your appearance is unembellished yet prominent.

A well-defined Cupids bow and/or lips are a signature of this placement.

Even if your lips arent plump or you consider them thin, their puckered shape is considered attractive.

Casual wear, simply chic, festive, dresses for the occasion.

Favors lively yet flattering colors.

Either way, this doesnt stop you from regularly wearing tank tops or sleeveless shirts.

Arm or finger tattoos may also be up your alley.

Ribs/lungs:Your waistline is likely slender or well defined.

Favorable for athletes and singers, as many stars share this placement.

People sometimes wonder whether you run out of breath.

With the Moon on the ascendant, you have a soft and doll like appearance.

The womans femininity is more pronounced, while the man has a gentle yet well-groomed appearance.

Favors neutral and cool pastels such as silver, gray, navy, creme, lavender, etc.

Lifted or sculpted breasts more specifically for the ladies, whereas pecs may be more prominent on the men.

If you dont resonate, then consider certain chest exercises and yoga stretches.

Because the chest is your ruling part, your body is more receptive in this general area.

Stomach/diaphragm:Depending on your lifestyle and genetics, you may have a smaller or easily susceptible abdominal region.

It may look like you have abs or can seemingly achieve them easier than the average person.

On the other hand, you may find your weight easily fluctuates whenever youre stressed or upset.

Sometimes people cant tell whether your personality makes you attractive or if your attractiveness magnetizes your personality.
