sorry if this is a stupid question lol but in Vedic astrology which planets/placements affect appearance the most? Or does it stay the same? thx 💗
Oh, there's no stupid questions. I was super confused by pretty much everything when I first started learning astrology.
The good news : your big 3 matter ☀️🌙 🚀
But....
The ascendant is super important of course. The moon sign is the key focus. But there's an additional nuance to it. Let's say your (sidereal not tropical) ascendant is cancer. So the ruler is the moon right?
Not necessarily.
For example, If its between 3 and degree of cancer that would make your rising Nakshatra Pushya Nakshatra which is ruled by saturn. Now people with dominant moon energy would most definitely have more rounded / gentle physical features compared to someone more saturnine.
Do this for your moon and sun Nakshatra also. In some cases the moon's Nakshatra lord is the dominant planet and you need not look further.
Sometimes your sun-moon-rising can give you three different Planets. Mine does. So I look at the planet in the ascendant and what sign it's placed in. Mars in the first in a Mars Ruled Nakshatra. My moon is also Mars ruled and that's the one I resonate with the most. This is the same as looking for sign and house placements for first lord or Planets in the first house.
