There are the indirect factors as well.My mother was born with a lot of Leo and Scorpio which gave her some incredible self-control and obsession when it came to her body and I do believe it was more of how she was as a teen (and thus more indirectly caused by astrology, since her appearance was affected more by will and interest) that made her model material.
I, OTOH, was tomboyish and athletic, and became more so as an adult. I doubt most women (or even men) with my placements have the well-defined arms and abs that I do, it's just how my natal energy got nurtured and applied, and also the resources available to me.
Though interesting enough, me and my mom have an identical Leo ASC, and we both have a walk that others describe as feline, though distinct (I know because I can imitate my mom's walk and demeanor in a way that inspires howls of laughter among relatives as my impression is so perfect, and unlike my own), hers is more proud while mine is more stealthy. But the difference is probably again nurture: she'd been practicing model cat walks since she was a child while I learned the value of stealth as I was raised by two alcoholic and dangerously unpredictable parents, though in both our cases it has become innate. More than one has sworn that they were going to put a bell on me so they could hear me approach!
Nevertheless, there is a feline aspect to both of us, and that probably is our Leo ASC.
Our eye color is just genetics, though, only mildly affected by astrology, if at all. (Though those of us with ice blue eyes, such as myself and my mom, can see in the dark much like a cat as well, but so can others born with the same blue eyes, at least within my family.)
There is one aspect of my features which MIGHT be affected by astrology: I have strawberry blonde hair, and to my knowledge, no one on either side of my family has that shade, though my mom is towheaded (probably comes from protecting her hair from the sun since many in my family are born that way but the hair gets darker as they get older) and my dad is ginger. I have wondered if it's because so many of my planets and sun are on the cusps.
I'm shorter than most on both sides of the family (and both Mom and Dad were unusually tall for their respective families) but I suspect that has something to do with some heavy meds I was forced on as a child, among other factors, rather than a manifestation of astrological forces (at least in a direct way).
ETA: both me and my mom have the famous "lion's mane." Which can be rather annoying for me with my athletic hobbies (my hair gets all tangled up and such).
