Question about venus opposite ascendant

Hi i wanted to ask a question because ive been desperately trying to find an answer. All my life up until high school i was a guy who you would consider unattractive or even ugly. As i got older i started working out, changing my hair style and i started to look and feel a bit more attractive and while i did catch girls attention it was a far cry from my goal which was to be the exact opposite of what i was growing up(i was the guy who couldnt get a date so i wanted to be the guy who could get a date without trying) eventually i stumbled upon astrology and found out my rising was cancer which explained why i thought feminine looking guys were the most attractive and why i wanted to look more like a feminine pretty boy than a masculine hunk or something. Eventually i heard that libra rising were considered the most physically attractive sign and that depressed me because as a cancer rising i felt at the best id be ok or kinda attractive frok the descriptions i read. I eventually learned that your planet placement also effects your physical appearance(among other things) so i read that venus conjunct ascendant can you make you physically attractive even if you werent a libra rising. I had so much hope and excitement after learning about venus conjunct ascendant that i went to check my placement and unsurprisingly my placement was venus opposite ascendant. At that point i just broke down and cried because i felt that i was just destined to be ugly or unattractive. I did research on venus opposite ascendant and the best i could find is that im apperantly destined to have a very attractive partner or something. Im hoping anybody with more input on astrology can fill me in on what venus opposite ascendant means for me. Does it mean im doomed to be average at best? Is there some kind of hope for me to be as physically attractive as i want to be? I cried myself to sleep for the past couple of days because i feel like no matter what i do being attractive wasnt written in the cards for me and im doomed to be dissatisfied with my appearance forever. I had a panic attack yesterday from just how much being unattractive or the fear of it has affected me.
i have a libra ascendant, my venus and jupiter are conjunct each other and my ascendant and i work in retail where a LOVELY customer said that i looked like a holocaust victim.

i grew up being called anorexic...told i looked like a horse...have horse teeth...even a sloth. my chin is very small and id need corrective surgery to get it pulled forward to look like a normal human being.

so i’d say clearly venus conjunct the ascendant and having a libra ascendant hasn’t done much for me in the appearance department. we can blame saturn for being so dominant and strong in my chart. i look frail.

i kind of accept it though. if we always look at our appearance for answers, we will always be incomplete. because somebody out there will always call us ugly or average to make us feel badly about ourselves. don’t let it get you down. i have a leo friend with a pisces moon and cancer ascendant and she is beautiful imo. she has mars opposite her ascendant and her moon opposite her venus.

don’t give up friend. and look to your insides to find your own beauty. you will find it. stay strong and stay positive. don’t let the world and it’s cruelty bring you down.
beauty is a feminine word near the end, but you get my point.

“attractiveness” can be substituted since i know you are a male. but i felt like beauty was a more appropriate term in regards to the subject as i wrote a response.

🙋 I too have Venus opposite my ascendant and cancer rising, and I would agree that growing up I was not pretty, like puberty never did any good, now I'm in my mid twenties and I look fairly better then when i was 16 or 18, not pretty as in guys would hit on me but easy on the eyes (atleast I think lol) also I prefer men with rather feminine looks, not too girly. But macho isn't exactly a turn on, a lean body type. I'm also a bit chubby but if i were to choose my own body I would prefer to be lean muscular. I hope this plays out well for us! And dont freak out (although im a tad late there) confidence is key!! Cheers!!
