If you’ve ever wondered why some peoples appearance changes drastically over time.

The answer is the D9.

Miley Cyrus

Miley has Taurus rising in D1 and Aquarius rising in D9.

Her earlier image was very Taurus. Pretty, earthy, country-coded, voice-based, marketable, Disney-friendly. The public could package her very easily.

Then the Aquarius D9 started showing and the whole image got shocked open.

The hair got shorter. The styling got harsher. The body language changed. She stopped looking like the cute Taurus product and started looking more electric, rebellious, strange, and harder to own.

People thought she was just acting out. Nope this is who she is when she’s in alignment.

Ariana Grande

Ariana is interesting because her D1 and D9 Ascendant are both in Sagittarius, so the shift is not about a totally different rising sign taking over.

But in her D9, she has Venus, Saturn and Rahu in the 1st house. Her relationship karma is visible in her appearance.

And that is exactly why people have been talking about her appearance for years.

But Saturn in the 1st dries, refines, thins, sharpens and matures the body. It can make the person look more delicate, more controlled, less soft, less “full” than before.

Then Rahu in the 1st makes the image impossible for people to ignore. People project onto it. They obsess over it. They keep asking, “What happened to her face? What happened to her body? Why does she look different?”

A lot of people think this is a phase, it’s not. This is Ariana’s new matured look.

Drake

Drake’s D1 has that Leo throne energy. Early Drake was very legacy-coded.

It was giving: I want the crown. I want the ranking. I want to sit with the greats. I’m building a name.

But his D9 Ascendant is Gemini, and over time he became so Mercury-coded it’s actually funny. He’s now tatted and way more flamboyant with his outfits.

The face became memeable. The lyrics became captions. The dancing became GIFs. The outfits became jokes. The public started using him as internet language.

Hotline Bling was not just a song. That was a D9 trailer.

D1 Drake wanted to be great.

D9 Drake became the group chat.

Nick Cannon

Nick Cannon is such a literal example it’s almost rude.

In D1, he has Libra rising with Mercury and Saturn in the 1st. So the first image already has performance, speech, comedy, hosting, charm, public presentation, but also Saturn sitting on the identity. He was always image-conscious, always performing a persona, always socially readable.

But then his D9 Ascendant is Pisces.

Came across this art installation, Liza Lou's Kitchen, at the Whitney Museum of American Art, NYC. It's a kitchen made of tiny glass beads, that artist Liza Lou did, taking 5 yrs. to complete, from 1991 - 1996.

My favorite part is the sink.

...color smokes everything else 😬

seasonal palette dominates. going cool or warm makes or breaks how the fabric connects to one's complexion, the face being the center of ourselves after all. the clothing has to be bright or soft enough for you, light or deep enough to match your hair, it has to be as close to your season as possible. a well-fitting piece of clothing that matches your proportions can be ruined if it is aggressively warm-toned while you are cool in undertone and vice versa. if your palette is allergic to black, and that color swallows details anyway, even a perfect kibbe type match jacket still switches off the face. it's almost infuriating how much i had to pay attention to color. neutral toned people have more leeway here, and winters hit the jackpot because black and white clothing is everywhere. bonus, seasonal color also has the most gender-neutral background in styling, it is easily accessible (even if it is the hardest to learn and discern later, but that's because it works down to the nuance). bc color matters so much there is no room for error. i always regret picking the wrong undertone. makeup and tops/jackets that are too warm for me will collect dust later, i wind up giving it away again.

silhouette is second: kibbe type ranks after color and before any other clothing system because it combines proportions, contrast level, pattern, and unlike the other body systems, your height. it really did show me that cut and curve matter, and the length of the garment especially. i immediately see a difference picking floor length pieces with statement contrast for my vertical D characteristic. kibbe really does make you look amazing, it's the real deal and very consistent. if a store does not cater to your type you will leave empty-handed. david really knew what he was talking about, seriously. if a garment does not mirror your lines, it flops, something is always off. clothing needs to match your body's signature, e.g. through waist emphasis (yin types), shoulder padding (yang types), line break (gamine), fabric density...

skeletal analysis is not as famous or known - looking it up is recommended - but perceptive imo, but if it clashes with your kibbe type it will not work (e.g. i am a wave type which means i should add ruffles, puffed sleeves, volume on the torso, small floral patterns etc but that's the opposite what suits me as a dramatic). i know in japan and korea, stylists do add a face type to further narrow down how the style comes across + one's visual weight is factored in for makeup and i find it accurate too. skeletal analysis can expertly teach you where to place line breaks like belts and necklaces, that was my main takeaway.

the fruit system is incomplete and eclectic, i guess experimenting with it can be nice but color and kibbe have advanced more. you can tell it fell of by how people aren't really fascinated with it anymore while kibbe keeps you hooked -> it encompasses a lot more factors and gives you styling goals. the understanding of the silhouette and drape it more complete not to mention presented at length and more poetically even. what the fruits do tell us is where the proportion falls by numbers, but skeletal analysis also does this and with more extras.

80% of astrology communities tend to feed their delusions, and if any astrologer say the real facts even based on ancient astrologers books? They be like you’re fake astrologer”..

Many of them tend to be like the passenger not the drivers ..

They always think “ohh! People are envy of me, blah blah blah”

This is YOUR CHART .. it means 80% of your actions, your personality etc, NOT “other actions towards you.”

Reminder : the whole chart matter especially the aspects + combining!!

Venus in 1st house ? Yeah it’s an indicator of people are envy of your charm, but IT MOSTLY indicator of YOU being competitive towards people especially in beauty / appearance / attractiveness

1st house is about YOU not others! It’s self it’s the ascendant ( self ) it’s NOT descendant ( others ).

Don’t forget goddess of venus/aphrodite was always competitive and pysche is more 10000x pretty than aphrodite but aphrodite/venus cursed psyche because VENUS GOT ENVY of psyche for getting more attention than venus😂

Mars in 12th house ? It’s an indicator of hidden enemies YES but mostly YOU who’s unconsciously are the hidden enemy and competitive, 12th house represents unconscious / repression which leads to unconscious competitiveness. Also, in planetary joys mars in 12th is bad. YOU ARE the hidden competitive and the hidden enemy.

Sun in 7th house ? Yeah it’s an indicator of many authoritative people into you and many people / rich and authoritative men “irl” into you, but have you stopped thinking about men and social relationships? Yes you have many opportunities with rich and authoritative people/men in real life but deep down we all know that you seek validation from them. It doesn’t mean you’re a pick me girl, i mean deep down you want validation from them.

Venus conjunct midheaven ? Any planet conjunct the mc it amplifying the planet’s energy and broadcasting it to the public yes, but you always compete and compare yourself with other girls appearance, you always want to be the most beautiful and you just want all people consider you as the most beautiful woman. Deep down you get jealous if you see a pretty woman and start comparing yourself to her.

Sun conjunct venus ? Is a BIG indicator of being attractive and stylish, but relationships and romance is the most important thing in your life, you’re always want to be in a relationship and always seek validation from others, you’re always focused on romance and love. Always want to be on a relationships always want to be valued and loved all the time like there’s nothing in life than love / romance? Lol.

Venus here is combust, whenever planet conjunct sun you will be too focused on it, sun is the main thing in the chart.

Venus square mars ? You worship relationships more than venus conjunct sun and MORE than sun in 7th house.. lmao

Gemini risings are the REAL PROBLEMATIC. NOT ARIES RISING/placements!

Aries placements give off fiery vibes BUT gemini placements/risings? Are the real problematic.

If you’re alone in cafe writing? A gemini risings will approach you there and will say ohh you wrote this word wrong! They always look towards people’s flaws.

Cancer placements are not always nurturing and soft, most of them are moody than geminis ( cancer is ruled by moon, moon transits to another zodiac sign each 2 days ).

Leo placements play victim personally MORE than pisces placements especially leo risings, the 8th house of leo is PISCES. 8th house represents your hidden personality that you won’t show it up but with the people u trust. You will rarely find leo play victim in public, but when you know them personally? Hahaha goodbye.

Capricorn / 10th house placements they CARE A LOT about people’s opinion MORE THAN LIBRA / 7th house placements.

Capricorn represents traditional. 10th house represents “reputation, public, people’s opinion”.

Leo placements are more dramatic than cancer placements, cancer are dramatic but towards the people they love, but leo placements? Are dramatic to everyone.

Scorpio placements always think that they’re targeted, relax baby no one is that special.

Taurus represents materials, self-esteem yes, but taurus also represents being too obsessed with material world and they forget their own value, some of them don’t mind to be treated poorly but if the person have money? They don’t mind.

Mars square moon anger issues? Ohh, i bet you haven’t met mars in 4th house yet.

Sun in 8th house doesn’t always represents being mysterious, sun is VISIBLE. Any aspects, whenever the sun placed it will be VISIBLE.

STOP BEING DELUSIONAL.

Not just libra/taurus/scorpio/leo/venus/mars represents attractiveness, if someone doesn’t have prominent venus OR don’t have leo/libra/taurus/scorpio in their chart that DOESN’T MEAN they’re not good looking or not stylish.

Everyone can be stylish and attractive when they work on themselves.

10th house placements / many aspects to the midheaven ? Yeah it’s an indicator of being too recognizable, but it also an indicator of being competitive. Mc is the highest point in the chart, this will leads them to always compete and compare.

Scorpio risings tend to need validations more than leo risings, because they have midheaven in leo!

Mars in 7th house makes people and ur social life so enthusiastic / bold towards you? YES but you also likely to be enthusiastic, aggressive and bold to other people! 7th house is YOUR PERSONALITY but with others not alone.

Neptune conjunct ascendant / neptune in 1st house ? Yeah neptune is a higher octave of venus blah blah blah, but neptune represents addiction, these native tend to be too obsessed of looking good all the time OR overdressing.

Lilith in 1st house ? I know many people told you that lilith in 1st house people consider you as bad. But have you heard the actual truth and the history of lilith? She’s NOT first adam wife..

Don’t play dumb, you really love when you seduce many people even if they’re in relationships. You love letting people get h*r*n*y over you.

check my post about lilith.

“8th house placements tend to attract obsessive people” lol.. ITS YOUR CHART, YOU ARE THE ONE WHO’S OBSESSED😂

“Pluto represents obsession so many people are obsessed with people who have prominent pluto” LOL NO.. ITS YOU who are the obsessed.

“Neptune represents addiction so many people are addicted to people who have prominent neptune” LOL NO.. ITS YOU who are the addicted here.

Ascendant ruler in 12th house / ascendant ruler in 4th house .. stop playing the victim we are all suffer not just you.

The truth about Rahu:

The house where you feel the most restless is often where your greatest growth awaits.

☿ 1st House

Your personality IS your thoughts. People meet you and immediately know what you're thinking because your face has already leaked the information. Built for talking, questioning, narrating your own existence, and accidentally becoming the spokesperson of every group.

☿ 2nd House

Your mind is constantly calculating value. You collect facts the way dragons collect gold. You can talk for hours about money, skills, resources, or that one niche interest you've mastered. "Knowledge is power" is not a metaphor to you.

☿ 3rd House

Mercury is at home here and honestly? Nobody is surviving an argument with you. Your brain moves at WiFi speed. You know everyone's business, have seventeen tabs open, and somehow still have room for one more random fact.

☿ 4th House

Your thoughts live in the attic of your childhood home. You remember conversations from ten years ago word-for-word. Family stories, memories, ancestry, and emotional patterns become subjects of endless analysis.

☿ 5th House

Your creativity speaks before you do. Natural storyteller energy. You flirt through jokes, process life through art, and somehow turn every random observation into entertainment. The group chat survives because of you.

☿ 6th House

You notice everything that everyone else misses. Typos. Mistakes. Inefficiencies. The one thing that's slightly out of place. Your brain runs quality control on reality 24/7 and would really appreciate a vacation.

☿ 7th House

You discover yourself through conversation. Relationships need mental stimulation or they die immediately. You are either having a life-changing discussion or wondering why everyone else is so boring.

☿ 8th House

Normal small talk physically pains you. You want secrets, motives, psychology, mysteries, taboos, and the reason someone said "I'm fine" in that specific tone. Human behavior is your favorite unsolved crime.

☿ 9th House

Your mind was born with a passport. You're always chasing bigger ideas, bigger questions, bigger perspectives. Philosophy at 2 a.m., researching random countries at 3 a.m., existential crisis at 4 a.m.

☿ 10th House

People know you for your voice, ideas, or expertise. Reputation is built through communication. The career path somehow involves speaking, teaching, writing, advising, networking, or becoming the person everyone asks for answers.

☿ 11th House

You collect communities the way others collect hobbies. Friends introduce you to ideas, and ideas introduce you to friends. You were made for internet culture, group chats, fandoms, and accidentally starting movements.

☿ 12th House

Your thoughts exist in another dimension. Half your best ideas arrive through dreams, intuition, or mysterious downloads from the universe. You understand things before you can explain them, which is both a gift and a problem.

☿ Remember:

Mars men appeal to women because they embody one of the most enduring romantic fantasies as the man who cannot help himself. On the surface, Mars presents as controlled, disciplined, independent, and emotionally self-contained. These men often appear uninterested in attachment, critical, skeptical of vulnerability, and/or actively resistant to romantic entanglement. Sometimes this resistance stems from duty, ambition, personal principles, prior commitments, pride, or simply the belief that pursuing a particular woman is not worth it. In many cases, he convinces himself that whatever attraction exists can be managed and denied through willpower.

The key point is that the resistance is authentic. Unlike archetypes that instantly chase after what they want, Mars starts by resisting it. Attraction feels like a disturbance rather than a call. Desire challenges established structures, routines, priorities, and self-views. Therefore, the initial emotional response tends to be rejection, avoidance, or denial, even as attraction secretly intensifies.

But it is precisely this contrast that fuels the sense of romance. What makes Mars intriguing isn't just desire, but the way restraint is visible. The audience observes a man struggling not to fall in love, yet gradually failing. Each prolonged glance, each unnecessary gesture revealing care, every sign of jealousy, and every emotional or physical response that surpasses what's expected logically serve as evidence that something beneath the surface is shifting.

Mars men typically don't fall in love gradually. Instead, they collapse into it. The attraction builds pressure until self-control breaks down. From an external perspective, the emotional change seems sudden, but internally, it has been progressing for a long time. Once a certain point is reached, previously stable structures begin to crumble. Boundaries break down. Priorities change. Distance becomes unbearable. Unlike moon men, who never seem to care about rules, Mars men start to ignore them because of the person. What once seemed like unbreakable principles become fragile, leading them to lose themselves.

Mars stories often focus on escalation instead of emotional stability because of their inherent contradiction. The character may say one thing but feel another, trying to distance themselves while also craving closeness. They might reject emotional reliance but still become overwhelmed by it. Each act of resistance paradoxically highlights the strength of their attraction. Fundamentally, this archetype embodies a conflict between discipline and impulse.

Mars symbolizes discipline, while desire relates to impulse. Mars isn't inherently driven by desire; he prefers celibacy and self-control. When a man influenced by Mars acts against his natural traits, it becomes a significant event. The narrative then centers on a struggle between discipline and desire. Women are often intrigued by this tension because when impulse eventually prevails, it confirms emotional depth and her power over him. If a man who usually resists others cannot control himself around one woman, it heightens the erotic tension. This makes the conquest seem earned, emphasizing the intensity of emotions involved.

This is where the power fantasy originates, often portrayed as a woman taming or softening a difficult man. More precisely, it's about becoming the exception in a previously closed system. The woman isn't necessarily overpowering him; she's observing the limits of his self-control. The more resistance he shows, the more valuable the breakthrough seems. This leads to a strong validation cycle: an immediately affectionate man is straightforward to appreciate, but a man who initially seems impossible to influence provokes a different emotional response. His eventual attachment feels significant because it involved overcoming barriers that appeared insurmountable.

Many popular romantic tropes follow this exact pattern. Examples include enemies-to-lovers, forced proximity, grumpy-and-sunshine, the emotionally unavailable man who changes, the stoic protector, the rival who becomes obsessed, the bodyguard who breaks protocol, the powerful figure bending his own rules, and the soldier abandoning discipline.

Women aren't just observing a man fall in love; they're witnessing a man struggle and ultimately fail against his own inner conflicts. Few things are more captivating. The illusion isn't that he carefully chooses love; it's that, despite all reasons to retreat and all barriers built to suppress his feelings, he is unable to do so.

The key point is that the resistance is authentic. Unlike archetypes that instantly chase after what they want, Mars starts by resisting it. Attraction feels like a disturbance rather than a call. Desire challenges established structures, routines, priorities, and self-views. Therefore, the initial emotional response tends to be rejection, avoidance, or denial, even as attraction secretly intensifies.

It is this very opposition that fuels the sense of romance. What draws us to Mars isn't just the desire itself, but the way restraint is visibly maintained. The viewers see a man struggling to stay in control, yet gradually losing it. Each lingering glance, every unnecessary gesture revealing his cares, every sign of jealousy, and every emotional or physical response that surpasses what the situation normal requires serve as clues that something beneath the surface is beginning to crack.
