Moon and Appearance, Pt. 7:
Virgo Rising [Aries-Virgo Moon]
š„øFor entertainment and learning purposes only.
ā°Clockwise: Zabine, Helen Hunt, Gena Rowlands, Salma Hayek
š8th house moons so mysterious, darker vibe+ air house so more detached and calculated
š§©The patterns that keep emerging with these thoughā every single one of these ladies has their chart ruler Mercury conjunct the Sun!!!
š„“Also I just realized this (@ #6 of this series) that they will all have their Moon in the same houseā in this case itās 8th house Moon
š Theyāre so composed, elegant and well-spoken. Theyāve perfected this balance of being reserved yet down-to-earth and wanting to make the other person theyāre interacting with comfortable at the same time. Probably have really good boundaries. Theyāre so warm.
š§ÆItās crazy cause fire moons would typically be fiery but I think having it in the 8th house subdues it considerably. Salma is probably the most fiery with her Venus+Mars in Leo in addition to the Aries Moon
āŖļøThey sort of have smaller/petite/slender faces like Aqua Moons kind of the opposite of Cancer Moons
ššļø The eyes seem to be a downturned shape. I actually see Nine of Wands when I look at themā like Virgo Rising is the outer fence consisting of sticks in the ground, all lined up evenly in a row as a front defense, while their Aries Moon burns in the heartā Iām seeing The Light Seerās Tarot Deck Nine of Wands. They arenāt defensive but theyāre not unprepared for a fight/argument should they need to defend themselvesā and will likely not be empty-handed should that happenā giving like sneaky but only in a self-protective way and not of nefarious intention. They definitely are open to trust others and give them the benefit of the doubt but are not afraid to fight, if needed, I feelā again, strong boundaries here
šTheir thinner lip on top makes the larger bottom one more prominentā lowkey does a sort of natural pout at rest
šš»Moons šÆ represent the symbols via the nose. Their nose tips look like the āļø symbol (and itās different than āļø bc itās narrower)
šš»Mercurial risings love their earrings š
š¶šAnimal lovers!! I watched an interview with Salma and she had like 9 dogs at the time 𤣠she picks them up on the road and gives them homes š„ŗ Helen has/had chickens! Gena was a supporter of animal rights and wrote a letter to stop the Carson & Barnes circus in Wisconsin. šŖ Zabine is a Russian star and has no info about her in our American internet waters
šÆGena & Helen both have Gemini stelliums. Helen has Sun conjunct her MC too
Virgo Risings/Taurus Moon
ā°Clockwise: Michelle Kwan, Helen Hayes, Nicole Scherzinger, Janet Gaynor
š9th house moons so otherworldly and well-spoken/traveled vibes. Also our spiritual girlies but not necessarily loud about it. Probably quite naturally optimistic as well. Very wise, through experience.
āļøThese ladies have very dark eyes, Virgo influence mixed with an earth moon could do this. Simply a hypothesis š§Ŗ
šš“āā ļø but also their eyes are just very dark, almost like what Iād expect from a Scorpio Moon. This rising+moon combo is probably actually the scariest? Gives Scorpio energy/Pluto energy vibesā so wild how energy actually plays outā itās just the eyes bro š± šµ
š¤«With the mercurial influence, itās extra intimidating bc you know theyāre smarter than you and someone dark+smart is terrrifying. Iām thinking of the serial killer villain in Hushā š¬about a deaf woman who lives in the remote woods and is targeted by a murderer whose choice of weapon is a bow+arrowā and showcases his countā whom shows up to steal+savor a seemingly fish in the barrel type scenario only to be showed up and outdone by a woman who was at a few disadvantages from the start. A battle won after a long and difficult journeyā she makes it out alive and the cat is unharmed. šš» šš» š An ending I wish Iād see more of. These women are def fighters. Probably not one to instigate it but definitely one to finish it, if you dare to test them.
šŖ©I feel like their eyes and lips are larger with nicely shaped noses to embody a face that very much resembles classical beauty standards. Their faces seem to be naturally wider at the top (showcasing the eyes) and sort of narrow out at the chinā their perfectly rounded chin, not too long or short
šŖ I love their eyebrowsā the medium side of thinner and arch perfectly at the pupil and end only where the ācrinkleā endsā not like an actual crinkle but just like 2-3 mm? past where their eyes end. It frames their haunting eyes priming them to trap you in. Letās be honest, you want to get trapped ;)
ššSimply side note and no shade at all toward this gorgeous and talented womanā but the Janet Gaynor pic, I almost didnāt grab it bc it spooked me out. Something about it is haunted, no? Itās really giving Mars opposite/square Pluto vibes with the dark eyes and hauntingly black background. š It reminds me of that Bojack episode where he opens the door and the nothingness oozes in threatening tentacles ready to snag his ankle and pull him in with the slight hook of its wristā pulling him into utter nothingness forever. The shirt gives me Pennywise costars Insidious vibesšŖ. Something about old school pictures are lowkey terrifying always though. Death reversed card bc that void is coming for you whether you like it or not. Which is funny bc Scorpio rules Death and opposite of it (reverse) would be Taurus š
šŗš The thing with the Gloria Gaynor pic is that she does look so innocent and sweet and kind but like sheās not gonna just give it to you, you have to work for it. Dualities here with these folksā a challenge that differs in its more earthly vibe than a more fiery one. She has her chart ruler Mercury trining Pluto conjunct the Sunā now the spooky rant makes sense š but no for realā older pics are creepy. Period.
Virgo Risings/Gemini Moon
ā°Clockwise: Lauren Graham, Doris Day, Rue McClanahan, Brooke Shields
š10th house Moon so these are the career-focused women, typically successful and very hard workers; probably very reputation aware+wise. Also the types to intimidate men quite easily, similar to 1st house Mars womenā they genuinely donāt need you. I think it would take a very strong and secure man to snag one of these women.
šWith Mercury ruling both the ascendant and moon, they are extra shiny and blessed bc Mercury beauty is a serious thing and their eyes will always be the most captivating, period. Itās their depth and intelligence mixed with their overt physical beauty that brings them success.
šļøThe eyes all have this half š crinkled to perfect tips on both endsā very symmetrical and evenā cat eyes (cat-like reflexes) like the exact shape of the leading emoticon here
šš»They have the moon nose tooā the one where that one cartoon witch wiggles it (similar to Leo rising+moon)ā they sort of point upward but in a cute way. Air moon vibe noses, very enviable in their sleekness
šØHeavy air in charts are typically well-liked due to their social awareness and camaraderie conformismā social chameleons. Ok remember Frank Underwoodās right hand guy Doug Stamper? Heās so valuable in that position bc of his ability to know just what the public want to hear + how to manipulate that information. Enough social awareness but with tempered emotions due to the air influenceā making them very calculating and very powerful. High emotional intelligence without being held back by emotions.
ā°Clockwise: Olivia de Havilland, Elizabeth Olsen, Olivia Newton-John, Nicole Ritchie
š11th house Moon so definitely the type to hold friends in very high importance, likely the friend others feel comfortable sharing with, could be seen as the softer, more emotional friend too but pretty hidden bc this is an air house. Wouldnāt necessarily realize how sensitive they truly are
š„¹šCancer Moon gives them big doey eyes and as I said in a previous post, Cardinal moon noses are a vibeā theyāre the curve in a cat tail at rest
š»The longer features above the eyes as well (since a cat tail is longer than a scorpion tailāpt. 2 Gemini risings post) as well with longer, thinner eyebrows
š¹š¹Noticed they all have earrings as well. This is a very common thing amongst the mercurial risingsāGemini + Virgo risings. Also in Gemini/Virgo moon as well
š§øI really like how the plush touch of cancer moon in the checks here is sort of elongated as wellā theyāre remind me of cap rising faces with moon influence. I think earth risings gives really good bone structure esp with cancer influence on moon or ascendant
āļøTheir faces are so small which is funny bc isnāt Virgo like the largest constellation?
šI feel like this could be one of the most āput togetherā Cancer placements with the mercurial influence/built-in detachment tool
ā°Clockwise: Loretta Lynn, Shelley Long, Charlize Theron, RenĆ©e Zellweger
š12th house Moon so psychic af, definitely keep their emotions hidden but this is a water house and having your moon here, I imagine, is difficult. Possibly expressing emotions just doesnāt come easy for you and may choose to just allow for a misunderstanding instead of actually be vulnerable
šš»Leo Moons and how the Leo symbol starts with a circle and then swoops upward, in a large curve to the right before ending on another smaller swoop up and backward? Thatās how their noses were made. You can see the point and then the backward trajectory of its substanceā itās like idk how noses are typically made but thatās how these ones were made. š
šŖ©Leo Moons always have this radiant shine to them, but itās definitely more on the radiant vs matte side that you see with Cancer Moons. They just ⨠shine. Like I bet Leo Moons are probably top 3 Moons to make it big in Hollywood.
šCancer Moons seem to have a softer bone structure hence the Moon influence but Leo Moons have sort of more pronounced bone structureā sharper but not sharpā sort of like how the Suns rays emit in straight lines as they shine in through windows. Notice the Moon doesnāt do that, itās more of just like soft and blended, no lines
ššThe eyes capture you in a more āalive+party+party on the yacht during the dayā way than the more āsubdued+mysterious+classy exclusive nighttime cruise shipā eyes of Cancer Moons. Think orange juice vs like tea+milk/bubble tea.
šāļøI keep comparing the two Moons bc theyāre both ruled by the luminaries
š I feel like fire moons always have larger, more luscious lips
šEyebrows seem to be on the longer+thinner spectrum, similar to Cap Moons
š»š„I remember watching Ghost Adventures and seeing Loretta Lynnās estate on thereā she continued to live on this haunted-ass land for years/decades. 12th house Moons have this innate understanding of the spiritual world without necessarily being taughtā they arenāt ones to deny or get scared or even get too taken away with spiritual mattersā likely to remain more grounded than, say, a Pisces Moon.
ā°Clockwise: Shirley MacLaine, Madonna, Bella Hadid, Dolly Parton
š1st house Moons you would typically think very feminine and soft but that is hardly the case with these women. They all have a very strong presence and are the exact opposite of how you might imagine them to show up. Every one of them are naturally elegant+composed+well-spoken with their chart ruler being Mercuryā very sharp, quick and not one to miss anything. They are actually quite fierce and fiery but in a mental kind of way. They can run circles around you but are so poised, you wonāt even realize it until after they so elegantly excuse themselves from your presence.
š¦The Moon bringing a softness to the face but the chart ruler is moreso important in how this plays out individually. I think this is the case with any 1st house Moon bc the nature of it is adaptable.
šBeing mutable rising and Moon, again, is the hardest to note discernible patterns in appearance but ultimately comes down to their energyā which I feel is expressed via their chart ruler degree the most
š“They all do seem to be blessed with perfectly shaped lips š literally like the emoticon and their eyes are sort of the main header noticed at first glance. They exude a more air beauty but with a stable, steady foundation being in earth. Theyāre like literal forest nymphs
š„ With Shirley, her chart ruler is an Aries degree: she actually played for a boys baseball team while youngerā earning the nickname āPowerhouseā for her many home runsā Aries being a more masculine degree sort of overtakes what typical feminity Moon in the first wants to naturally exude.
š¦With Madonna, her chart ruler is at a Leo degree aka fire degree and thus more masculine as wellā thus bringing those qualities of leadership, frontrunner and spotlight magnet to the front of her personality more. Pluto within 5 degrees of her chart ruler + her Moon applying to both malefics Mars+Saturn in a grand Earth trine truly makes her a force to be reckoned with. Sheās very unique if youāve ever watched her interviews and she very much sets her own style.
šWith Dolly Parton, her chart ruler is in Capricorn at a Gemini degree (another masculine degree). She is literally the epitome of class and authenticityā truly just a beautiful person inside and outā while maintaining strong boundaries and a flawless reputation bc of this. Mercury ruling both the first and emotional selfā in a mercurial degreeā in the classy sign of Capricorn, this is really no surprise.
šŖBellaās chart ruler is zero degrees Libra but Libra is masculine bc itās air so I find it interesting that every single one of these ladies has masculine degrees on their chart ruler while they have that feminine Moon sitting in their first house. Iāve noticed that charts tend to make up what they lack or try to balance energy out via the degrees. Ex) someone lacking fire+air in their chart may have a lot of fire+air degrees. Bella has an exact trine from Aqua Uranus to her chart ruler Mercury in Libraā sheās so mesmerizing, quick and interesting in her interviews. Gives sort of Neptune vibes but with the electricity of Uranus
š®š±With all of them, though, there is sort of mystery to themā they can stand strong in their femininity yet refuse to take any of your shit. They embody that quote āclass/poise is telling someone to go to hell in a way that they look forward to the rideā
