while doing research on indicators of fame in the natal chart I came across this interesting theory by Serbian astrologer Nikola Stojanovic, which is: people with their ascendant or ascendant ruler in the 5th degree of a sign are HOT

so let's play HOT OR NOT, Astrology Edition!
we'll use @astroseekcom's phenomenal celebrity search engine to look up Rodden AA rated charts (exact birth time from birth certificate), look at the charts, and decide whether this idea has any merit (and specifically, the type of "hot" Nikola discusses is _eroticism_)
young Kiefer Sutherland was quite attractive with Venus right on the 5 degree Ascendant ruled by Saturn in the 2nd house in Pisces, and I think the dreamy Piscean look definitely comes through (esp. if you browse his images)

so

HOT ✅
Debbie Reynolds (1932-2016) had a 5deg Libra ascendant ruled by Venus in the 8th house of Taurus had a very clean, high-fashion look. interestingly, both she and Kiefer Sutherland have their asc. ruling planet conjunct Chiron. no idea if this is important

HOT ✅
Charles Manson has a 5deg Taurus rising ruled by Venus in Scorpio. despite the fact that he was a psychotic mass murderer, he was indeed, extremely alluring in an intense, Scorpionic way and this was also reflected in those cheekbones

HOT (by historical consensus) ✅
Sophia Loren--5 deg Capricorn rising, with Saturn conjunct her Moon. incidentally, she also has Venus conj Neptune, lending an "otherworldly" quality to her beauty.

HOT ✅
French fashion designer Christian Dior, of, you know, Dior. 5 deg Scorpio rising ruled by Mars, right on the Ascendant! as a young man--he has a very striking, bold, intense smoldering look. look at that jawline

HOT ✅
Sandra Nasic is a German singer with 5deg ascendant in Scorpio, ruled by Mars in Leo. it's interesting that she has Uranus conjunct her ascendant which I feel gives her "unusual" characteristics, more Aquarian features that makes her less _conventionally_ attractive >
I'll say HOT (in terms of the 5deg Asc rule working) because the "modifiers" to appearance are very noticeable in the chart as well. ✅
Liberace has a 5deg Asc in Capricorn with his Saturn in the 8th in Leo, which I think shows through with his broad yet stable Taurean features

tbh _I_ don't think Liberace is _that_ attractive, but according to his wikipedia he was called a sex icon in 1954, so...

HOT ✅
Jean-Jacques Annaud, French film director, 5deg Gemini rising with Mercury in the 5th with Venus and Chiron

I'd say he was pretty attractive in his prime, yeah

HOT ✅
Dorothy Dandridge, 5deg Leo asc, ruled by Sun in Scorpio. an obviously gorgeous actress, HOT ✅
I found someone that _I_ think violates the general "look" of these 5deg asc people, Arantxa Sánchez Vicario w/ Cancer Asc. interesting to note that Pluto and Chiron square it, while both True Node and Neptune are inconjunct to it. will need more ex.

NOT CONVENTIONALLY HOT ✔️
overall, barring harsh aspects from malefics/outer planets, it does seem like the 5deg Ascendant-ruler idea "works". we did NOT look at Venus/Neptune in 5deg either, but that's worthwhile.

here are some more 5deg asc people I chose randomly
and a few more--interesting that the men's faces overall seem LONG. anyway, /thread
actually one more note for good measure--it's important to keep in mind that browsing celebrities you will naturally get attractive people. and that I went off the path with this a little bit--Nikola specifically says that this is _eroticism_, so it's difficult to know about >
the inner worlds of the people I looked at. if you framed them properly or encountered them in person, you might find the people (I found a few more who are conventionally unattractive) alluring or compelling.

dunno. more research is required, as always
