Is there a way to discover the Ascendant by just looking at someone?

[Thunder]

Any tips? You don't know the hour of birth, but you have a photo of the subject. Since the Ascendant (and relative ruler/co-rulers) rule the body, can you discover the ascendant by just looking at their look/body?

LOL, the description you gave for people born with the same Ascendant as me is spot on.
Clearly, all the planets have to be taken into consideration...but again, spot on.

Depends on the sources. I've found many Aries AC to have diamond or square heads, and Cancer to have round faces. I only briefly skimmed what you posted, Neoma Isadora.

Also, take into consideration any sign intercepted in the 1st, this can greatly affect the appearance, and the person will look like a blend of the 2.

Gemini AC is often taller than average in family, I've never seen a short or average height Gem AC actually.

Cap AC will often have prominent or noticeable teeth or facial bone structure... a bit hard to describe, but their looks are not as soft and harmonious as say Libra AC.

Leo AC tend to hold their head in a regal manner, even if not aware of this. Proud, bold facial features, straight nose.

Virgo AC rarely ever has noticeable cheekbones, their face is more straight, narrow.

Libra AC will have the oval shape face, this is considered by stylists to be the most harmonious face shape as it goes with every style.

Pisces AC will have the "ethereal beauty" look, large expressive eyes, more likely to have long hair.

I tested myself in the past, I went over many celebrities and guessed their AC based on their appearance, and found their birth info to see if I was correct. Not all had their time of birth though, so then I would do more digging (I often get carried away with astro) and rectified their AC based on transits etc. I have a pretty good average going with guessing AC's.

@ Neoma Isadora: The 7 general face shapes are diamond, heart, round, square, triangular, oval, oblong. Some faces may be a blend of the these, such as oblong-square to make rectangular.

As well, since there are only 7 main face shapes, and 12 zodiac signs, then of course some will be repeated.

Pisces is more likely to have heart-shaped faces. Again, keep in mind that other emphasis of signs will affect this. Heart shaped is a wide forehead and cheekbones, narrow jaw, pointed (or softly pointed) chin. Aries generally have strong jaws, but I can see how new-age astrologers might call it heart shaped based on the chin.

Now, on to your post about some characters from a TV show, keep in mind those are not real people. They are characters, portrayed by people. So, ignore the characters. Look at a picture of someone, and find their birth info. Ignore the make-believe personality of the characters....

Which leads to the next point. The AC alone does not determine the personality. The entire natal chart does. So don't go by the entire personality, to guess their AC. Someone who is proud and flamboyant, does not necessarily have a Leo AC. They might have a luminary, Mars, or a ruler in Leo.

@Lydia. Alright I was just having some fun plus these are examples of how signs may play out, really it's no different then my first post either, these also weren't real people.
Anyway I went with GoT because it's very popular and people will probably know the serie (it has been the most known series of the last years) and it's always possible to study them as case examples. Besides I have close to 0 interest in actual "celebrities" lifestyle so I would be ill-fitted to use them as examples. Plus it's hard to find the real ascendant data, not all of them are publicly known.
Also that's interesting to speak of roles because the ascendant is pretty much the same, a role we play in public. And the topic was about that, how each ascendant might appear. If we ignore the make believe characters and talk about zodiac suns or moons well that's also fine by me.
Interesting for the head shapes, I never looked into their classification until now. I just went with the feeling.

@AncientShaodow666 : Okay. That seems like a happy combination of very different energies

@Neoma Isadora- That's why I was stressing on physical appearance, as in, their looks. Not personality. I also don't pay attention to celebrities, I don't even watch much tv or anything, I was looking at their picture and then finding their birth info. More than 1/2 have their birth info online, astrodatabank has a lot.

The title of this post, is exactly what I wrote about, "by just looking at someone". I took it to mean exactly that, whereas I think you extended it to be about their personality, how they appear to the world (we both used the different meaning of appear, you for personality and me for physical appearance, ie looks). This was not in the title however.

what might help you guys understand me as pisces, is that my how do i say it... "under"sign is scorpio, and ALL that you said about scorpio IS ME.... all of it... and im glad of it because that kind of balances my "weak" spots as pisces.. you know just so you know if this could help you in any way... which is funny actually because I AM pisces and yet not everything you said about pisces is true about me but my under sign is scorpio and EVERYTHING about scorpio is true

The first house is how we project ourselves. And people project themselves not only in the way they dress, the way they look at you (or refrain from doing so), their body language, or their physical appearance in general.

People project themselves 'energetically' as well. One should also 'look' at the energy of the person, not just the pretty cheekbones or eyes. Is the person open, closed, or whatever, and in what way? I think most people do this (at least to some extent) when they gauge someone, but since most people aren't sensitive enough, they sometimes mistake a momentary emotion the person may experience for an innate trait which is then ascribed to the ascendant.

IMO, unless you are very psychic, determining someone's ascendant solely from how the person projects him or herself is unreliable, as there are other factors involved. A person can have a Cancer ascendant but with the Moon and Mars conjunct in the first house. Or Cancer on the ascendant but with the Sun in the first, which makes the person stand out... This is where the body language and the physical traits become relevant and should be taken into consideration, along with the above.

I also believe the above can change with awareness. Say you have an aggressive or even intimidating presence at times, this can balance itself out with awareness and meditation. The opposite as well, if someone has a weak and frail presence and want to appear stronger. This is what actors do, ironically - sometimes temporarily, but at other times for longer periods as in cases of very Neptunian/Piscean actors who can have a hard time leaving their characters behind after a movie is completed. These are the good actors as well.

To add to my previous reply,

As the OP wrote. Knowing the planets in signs, their physical looks can narrow down the birth time. Nothing to do with their roles in life or their lifestyles. All my replies were about this exact original question.

For Sagittarius I have to add this, the legs are a prominent feature and they stand out or are really developed. Ice-skaters, dancers, strippers... all good on their feet, great mobility and circulation in the legs. I'd love to dance or do Track running or something

Hello Nick.

Can you please contact me? I tried to find your e-mail but couldn't. I have some questions regarding your (awesome) translation.
