Those born under the influence of the Moon have round-shaped heads,
broad at the temples (showing ideality--the Moon gives imagination).
The forehead is full over the eyebrows, but retreats at the top; it is
broad and low. The complexion is pale, almost colourless and the skin
is soft. Their hair is fine, soft, of a colourless fairness, no golden
tint in it and it is never very thick. The faces of those born under
the dominant influence of the Moon are large and round; the nose is (in
proportion to the face) small and short and its tip is round rather
than pointed. Their eyes are of the same colour as the hair, very
lightly marked, but joining over the nose. Their mouths are small; but
their lips, which are of a pale colour, are full and pouting and are
rarely quite closed. Their teeth are large and often irregular. Their
chins are round, fleshy and retreating. Their ears are also round,
medium size, pale coloured, set in a very sloping direction and lying
close to the head. If born during an eclipse of the Moon, those born
under this influence are sometimes blind.
People born under the influence of Venus have a great resemblance to
those born under Jupiter, only their beauty is more feminine. They have
the white and delicately-tinted skin of the Jupiterians, but it is
still softer, finer and more transparent. They have round faces, the
cheek-bones and the jaw-bones are not at all apparent; their cheeks are
softly rounded and generally ornamented with dimples; their foreheads
are a delicate oval, rather low and have delicate azure veins at the
temples. The eyebrows of persons born under the influence of this
beautiful planet are dark and beautifully marked in long sweeping but
very delicate lines, but not meeting over the nose. Their hair is long,
thick, soft, undulating and of a light brown colour. Their noses, which
are broad at the root between the eyes, are straight and delicate, not
at all pointed, but rather rounded at the tip;[20] the nostrils are
round, but dilated and very flexible. Their eyes are large, clear,
humid and somewhat projecting; the pupils are large in proportion to
the white of the eye, which is limpid and of a clear, transparent,
bluish white; their eyelids are well formed and blue veined. Their
mouths are small and of a beautiful red colour; the lips are full,
especially the lower one, the right side of which is slightly larger
than the left. This is a particular Signature of Venus, as is also a
small dimple near the corner of the mouth. The teeth are white, small,
evenly set in coral-tinted gums and the chin is soft and round and has,
like the chin of Jupiterians, a dimple in it.
[20] The noses of those born under Venus are frequently
slightly upturned at the tip; they are never bent downwards
over the lips.
