My brother binge eats a lot and he has Moon in Taurus and venus conjunct jupiter but I dont know at what time he was born so I am not sure what his rising sign is or what house his venus/jupiter conjunction fall on. He is also strict with his diet so he stays in shape and slim in spite of his binge eating episodes but everyone in the house has to set clear boundaries with food and this has been an ongoing issue through out his life. He is also very tall which makes me think that maybe he does have jupiter conjunct venus in the first in aquarius. His venus/jupiter in aquarius conjunction SQUARE his moon/mars in Tauraus conjunction. Also his Venus/Jupiter conjunction trines his pluto. I think his sun in cap is why he is discipline enough to NOT let this problem get so out of control that it would lead to health problems or becoming overweight.

My husband does not have a serious binge eating problem, I dont see a compulsion like with my brother but he definitely resorts to some serious comfort food when he feels depressed or very stressed ALWAYS and he has Moon in Cancer in the 2nd house (the second rules the throat and cancer the stomach as Rosalind pointed out for me) squaring Sun in the 6th and squaring Saturn in the 5th, He also has PLUTO in the 6th but his pluto only has nice soft aspects EXCEPT for PLUTO in the 6th SQUARE CERES. As a result he has always been a little over weight, he needs his comfort food always in times of stress... is his way of coping with stress.

However ED's are usually related to the Moon, especially in (hard) aspect to Saturn and the outer planets. Food = nurturing = Moon. Venus and Jupiter can expand the desire for food and cause self-indulgence - I've seen Venus in aspect to the Moon play out in unhealthy relations to food. The 6H doesn't have to be part of the picture. Moon, Venus, and the outer planets connected to them can all point to emotional frustration and lead to unhealthy eating habits (as a way to cope / transfer emotional issues onto the body).

I did think that the moon played a role, it crossed my mind. When I think the moon and eating problems, I think "emotional eating" but I didn't think that the moon aspecting stressfully to saturn could result in eating problems specifically. Why do you think Saturn? Could it be since saturn has to do with restrictions that a stressful aspect from the moon to saturn could mean that difficulty expressing emotions can result in EDs if there are other placements that are heading this direction like moon in taurus or cancer or moon squaring jupiter?? I am thinking that is why

Your input was a tremendous help in helping me understand a lot more how EDs looks like in charts. THANK YOU.

Amelia, you're welcome. Yes, that's what I had in mind when I mentioned Saturn. Difficulty "feeling" and expressing emotions, which in turn creates internal blockages and a need for compensation - it could lead to a restriction of food consumption (to control emotions) and consequently moments of intense food consumption after periods of self-restriction - that would be especially true if the Moon is connected to Mars or Jupiter (impulse, expansion), Pluto (extremes of behavior) or Uranus (brusque changes in moods and behavior).

Well you really hit the spot with the moon/saturn stressful aspects and EDs. All three people that I know that have issues with food have moon aspects to saturn with a few other markers as well but that was a consistent one in all three people.

Namaste

The majority of people I've known with ED's also have Moon in aspect to Saturn (or Pluto). It's quite saddening, but I think there's a lesson to be learned there. It all comes down to lunar issues (dysfunctional relationship with the family that undermines the person's trust in themselves/others/life and leads to compensating behaviors).

Her natal Jupiter at 29 Gemini was progressed into Cancer at the time she struggled most with this.

She also has Chiron in Taurus opposing 1H Scorpio Uranus...I wonder if that's a factor? And NN-Pluto in the 12H.

- I have the aspect that mentioned before , cancer moon square libra saturn and jupiter &saturn both conjunct AC. ,my taurus has only chiron .

- when I was young , food is my comfort when I 'm stressed , also when I study . I remember everyday with a long exsausted from school/uni back to home, the first thing that make me happy is food that I love , but after I ate I have guilt that I consumed it too much to relieve my stress . I think it should be an issue when you use it not for living but for released your stress , your brain will also think that Food= Reward mechanism and this will make you overweight when you 're out of control.

Although when I was young , I used food as my cimfort but luckily that I'm not that overweight because I can manage not to eat a lot in another meal....after the stress has gone

Jupiter for excess.

I wanna say Moon-Jupiter for emotional binge-eating, especially if one of those planets also aspects Pluto.

Saturn for a lack of self-control.
