I figure some people have placements that would make them skinny, as discussed in an earlier post. And others would have bigger bodies, bigger penis, or breasts or anything, with the right placements.Weight loss is something I've been dealing with my whole life. Trying to get rid of unwanted yucky things off my body, with diets that have been attempted and failed, exercise routines that would kill a regular person, and constant battles with esteem and confidence, and yet my weight is always, always MY issue. Just like placements would sway a person to be heavy, Would there be a link with successful weight loss and a person's chart?
Perhaps certain placements would give someone a different approach that will work? IP: Logged |

I have to say, I completely disagree with that assessment. I've always found the linkage between astrology and the physical body compelling, but in every survey I've ever seen, there just isn't enough consistent evidence that proves certain astrological placements indicate ANYTHING regarding to physical features.However, I do believe that it influences psychology (obviously) and ones demeanor/the way they carry themselves, which is a huge component in a personality, and enhances whether or not they'd stereotypically be attractive to people or not. Air placements add to a certain nobility/royalty, fire placements give an indication of a certain vibe of energetic, rebellious restlessness, water would be indicative of more a more reserved thoughtfulness, etc. Weight and body type has so little to do with that. Of course, this is just my opinion. But I've researched around enough. Your genetics are your genetics, period. IP: Logged |

I have eating disorder. I lose and I gain weight fast. I think it's my Moon square Venus that makes me wanna eat for comfort, to feel better.
When I exercise and eat less, I lose weight normally. Are you really trying and not succeed.. then it's a problem with metabolism.IP: Logged |

Why don't you post your chart and I can see what the dynamics are, hopefully you have a time of birth.
And you're right, different approaches work for different temperaments.Genetics play a part and you can really only lose so much weight before you start to endanger your health. Some people are just meant to be big no matter what they do and others are meant to be small no matter what they do they stay small.
Saturn is implicated in control and discipline, and it takes discipline to stick to a certain regimen of any kind.
Saturn/Capricorn are typically ascribed to thinness....For example a classic astro sig for eating disorders is Moon square Saturn.
Saturn rules self-control and self-denial so that's the connection. Moon rules nourishment.
I have Moon Capricorn sq Saturn and when I start to feel sad I'll starve myself cos I don't believe I deserve to eat, but I have to be feeling pretty bad. But before anyone jumps on me this is not true in all cases. IP: Logged |

Hi maddi, I didn't read your chart, as I'm familiar with the astro format only, but in my opinion Jupiter = weight gain, Saturn = weight loss.Jupiter conjunct asc or a luminary could make a person prone to gaining weight easily. Watch out for the same in transit. Saturn transits bring weight loss (sometimes due to depression, lol, and also teeth problems and spine, but that's another story). IP: Logged |

I think you should look for signs of extreme, such has Pluto, Saturn, and Virgo influences...A 6th house in Moon or Mars for example, I think, can make someone a little hard on their self with exercise and what they eat. I went through a long period of being controlled by food and my weight since I as 12. People were thinner than me and I wanted to be just as thin, so I starved myself, ate very little portions, and exercised a lot...Not to stay healthy, but to burn off what I ate, more like a punishment.
The problem is an obsession with food. I love food and yes, I can eat, but I no longer binge. It's really rooted deep within in the psyche. Usually, self-esteem. Once you deal with other problems in your life, you can see why your self esteem is low. The long run in working on your confidence = healthier image of yourself and what you put into your body. Food should be an enjoyment, not a constant stress.Taurus 12th/Scorpio 6th/Cancer Rising.

I think yours is a Solar issue, as well as Saturn your Asc ruler sq Neptune.
The Solar issue may have something to do with feeling powerless as a result of something to do with the father, either abandonment or abuse, something of that nature, maybe something kept secret. The Saturn sq Neptune is the shattered dream, or if you make it positive working hard to achieve a dream.
Your Moon (nourishment) is in Exalted in Taurus, and at home in the 4th, so if this feels like a safe place for you, you may keep returning to it when other things don't seem to work.
I think once the root issue is tended to, that the weight will either be accepted or drop off more easily.
You have Mars conj NN in Leo in the 8th, so you may want to try accessing your body through meditation, your sexuality, and try tantric sex, and branch off from that and go into yoga, something to center yourself in that realm first, esp since that's Saturn's house, you need to have that aspect of your chart under control and working.
Either way Sun opposed Pluto needs to regain their own power, your Sun is in Aries in the 3rd so you need to be direct in your communications and enter the realm of the mind in order to shine. Make positive contacts with those in your community to help you through this. Go to a yoga center in your town and take a class, that would combine Saturn, Sun h3, and your h8 placements, that may be a good start for you.
Mars conj NN in Leo is quite a strong and athletic placement, in the 8th you enter into deep practice such as tantra so that's why I mentioned that exercise as a way to get to the bottom on Sun-Pluto and explore your power. It may seem strange to approach weight loss through sex and meditation but I think it may be a good avenue.
