Physical Appearance and Astrology

(could anyone help with some information?)
I'm not entirely sure about my ascendant:I either have a Libra ascendant,at 0 degrees,or a Virgo Ascendant(the Taurus Decan).(I'm putting my two-possible charts in the photos file).
In the first case, Moon,Mars and Jupiter form a tight trine to with my Ascendant,and is Uranus square my Ascendant.How exactly does that affect my appearance?
I've read an article about Jupiter conjunct the Ascendant,and how that makes people look "large".I have always had problems keeping fit,because I love food(I used to be overweight),and am rather self-indulgent,typical for someone with an Jupiter-Ascendant trine,but I'm quite short..about 5'2'' feet tall(shorter than both my parents).Is the trine that different from the conjunction?..I also have a pretty wide face,with a rather squarish jaw,despite the claims that Libras have oval-shaped faces.Other than that,my body is pretty well-proportioned,although I tend towards a healthy-looking,robust constitution:I'm broad-shouldered,but with equally wide,rounded hips,and a thin waist.My facial features are quite harmonious,I am told,which also makes me tend to believe I have a Libra Rising.
In the second case,My Rising sign would be Virgo,at 20-something degrees.In this case,My Sun and Venus(both in Pisces)would be opposite my Ascendant,and Pluto sextile my Ascendant.I have no idea what these aspects inflict upon one's personal appearance,since I can't find any information about them....if anyone knows,please share!
Oh,and I also want to ask about the stellium thing...I thought I had a stellium on the Taurus/Gemini Cusp(Moon-Mars-Jupiter in Gemini,at 0 degree0),but someone replied to me that a stellium requires a minimum of 4 planets in conjunction,and that planets at 0 degree in a sign are not on a cusp.Is that true?
I would also like to know to what extent do other planetary aspects influence physical appearance...like Moon conjunct Mars,Moon conjunct Jupiter,Mars conjunct Jupiter,Venus trine Pluto,Venus sextile Neptune,Sun trine Pluto(if it's a loose aspect,at 7 degrees,how powerfully can it manifest in a chart?)Neptune trine Ascendant.
And what about planets' positions in houses?Could the Sun's position in the 7th house give you a Libra appearance?Could the presence of several planets in the 9th house make you look "large"?etc....Please say as much as u know;examples would be good....

    sandra,

    not too convinced on the appearance sign thing. seems that natal charts can be a lttle too complex to look at someone & say you look like a ...
    i agree more with the person ( sherpa i believe) that stated that the ascendant is more about mannerisms. but found this on the internet

    PHYSICAL APPEARANCE OF VIRGO RISING: The Virgo native is usually of average height or a just a little above average height. They tend to be moderately plump, although well figured.

    PHYSICAL APPEARANCE OF LIBRA RISING: Libra natives always look great. They have a well-formed body that is usually slender and most of the time they are tall individuals.

    OK I don't know anything about how all these aspects would effect your appearance, but from your photo, you look more like a Virgo rising to me, I think Libran features are more rounded, oh but you do look more Piscean than anything else! I have noticed that quite a few Pisces women have a voluptuous figure but from their face alone they appear slim.

      I dunno if I put validity on how Astro affects the physicality of people, but I will say this: I'm a Taurus with a Cancer rising and, despite having two skinny motherf*cking ectomorph parents, I'm the lone mesomorph in the family. But I've got a prominent Jupiter (expansion) and you know how we Taureans love to eat!

      so...I guess point is maybe it's more than just your Asc you need to look at if, at all, you wanna bridge astro and physical together?

      "you do look more Piscean than anything else!"-that's quite strange,actually,since most astrologers say Pisceans have no particular appearance,Neptune being the planet of illusions and dreams,of chaos...it gives no particular form,and I wouldn't call myself "voluptuous"...but rather "robust"...dunno,but I'm really curious about what mars trine one's ascendant would do to your appearance,since I read a while back that Anais Nin had Mars conjunct her Ascendant,and that turned her into a rather feminist,warrior-like person,despite all the feminine,watery influences of her chart,which would've pointed out to an introverted,sensitive,reflexive person...

    One thing I put a lot of consideration into when guessing an ascendant is which house a particular ascendant would place the moon in. The moon placement is something I seem to have a knack for guessing more so than the ascendant, probably because I pay more attention to emotions than appearances in people that I know.
    I also strongly consider planets that would end up in the first house as blending into a particular ascendant's appearance. Leo rising by itself will look very very different than leo rising with neptune in the 1rst house.
    Third, I think a lot about what would end up in a person's 12th house with a particular ascendant. The 12th house seems to represent things that are more active on a subconscious level and therefore appear "unavailable" in the person in some ways.
