Astrological Body Types

The classic idea is that you can determine what someone looks like by the sign on their ascendant, and that simple idea does work more often than not. But you should also examine the moon and the 6th house for a larger view. A Sagittarius ascendant with a moon conjunct Jupiter in Taurus in the 6th is not going to make for a slender person!

	ASTROLOGICAL TYPES - Illustrated & Described by Howard Duff, $6.00 Contents: Introduction; Aries; Taurus; Gemini; Cancer; Leo; Virgo; Libra; Scorpio; Sagittarius; Capricorn; Aquarius; Pisces; Cusps. Comment: Describes the physical characteristics of each sign & for each, a full page head profile as well as a second page of "doodles", consisting of secondary profiles, key physical features, overall body sketch, etc, often humorous in nature. Many of the sketches are classics, one sees them elsewhere without attribution. From the introduction: "These profiles are TYPES; that is ALL the known characteristics associated with the signs are here assembled in one face. In real life this does not happen, for we are all mixtures, showing Sun, Meridian, Ascendant, Moon and angular dominance characteristics of many signs, which, since they are active in our consciousness, show in our faces. The caricatures on the right hand pages are not meant to insult anyone. They are exaggerations to bring out points more dramatically than would a simple fact sketch." Self-published, 53 pages, paper.
