I am wondering if some of these could indicate weight loss.. What's your opinion?

posted June 24, 2015 04:52 AM            

It's not just my ASC.. I know many cancer ASCs that do not like food / sweets at all.
I think it's fault of both Venus Mars Jupiter in the 2nd H
and the fact that 6th H cusp is in Saggi (Jupiter's lordship)

I can attest to health issues with tSaturn in the 6H, and challenges related to work/studies.

I've never really had weight issues, except at some point I had some eating disorders; but currently my weight is pretty much stable and I am happy with it.

Still have some troubles with the food I eat (my body is extremely sensitive to all kinds of food, especially "junk" food and drinks) so I'm still trying to find the right diet for me. The issue here is health vs. pleasure. Now, I know it's entirely possible to eat healthy and love it, but I have an incredible sweet tooth and it's hard to just cut the carbs/sugar out. Besides, eating healthy (paradoxically) costs a lot of money, and I genuinely can't afford it at this time (though I still try to not go into extremes and binge eat and so on; however it's always a challenge).
I must add I have a packed 6H with Venus and Jupiter conjunct (Venus being the ruler of the 6H)...

I already have health issues
(one of all those issues has to do with my heart)

OP, if you have a heart condition and find it difficult to do exercise, you can still loose weight!! Start counting how much calories you take. You will be surprised how much you are eating. I wanted to lose weight so I started to weigh and calculate calories for each meal and recorded into Excel sheet together with my progress! Then I really stuck to my daily calorie which was about 1200kcal. I still ate desserts and whatever I wanted but the point is to sticking with 1200 kcal. It's simply science, if you eat more than your daily calorie amount, of course you are going to store the extra as fat. Cut carbs. You can eat tons of veg and meat but carb is the problem because it gets converted into fat.

I didn't go for run or gym. I did a bit of Callenetics for tum which use microscopic movements but very effective. My weight loss was due to calorie counting though.

I wouldn't say carbs get converted to fat. I know what you mean but I think the phrasing is misleading.

I'd say avoid carbs because they're ultimately unsatisfying in terms of satiety for the amount of calories you would eat. You'll overeat with carbs because it doesn't fill you as long as vegetables or protein sources. The overeating of carbs will lead to excess calories which will then lead to fat gain.

I'm just nitpicking the wording a bit because people take platitudes like that and run with it without understanding.

Other than my nitpicking on wording Astra gave great advice. Calorie counting is a must in my book. Take it from the Taurus Ascendant with Jupiter in the 1st - all I do is eat. If I don't count my cals and follow my wants I get fat. I've counted my calories every day for the past 6 years.

An excel sheet is quite fine; I use the app Loseit.

If you want to lose weight--try to Dr. Furhman's Eat to Live. It's nothing crazy--just unprocessed, whole foods. It's pretty much Vegan (can have a little meat a week) and no to little salt/oil.

My mom was a 180 pads, and 6 months later she was 120. She also did some moderate walking and weight lifting. This diet will help you finally get off of meds and feel energetic!

Generally, yes, but these are opportunities, not necessarily outcomes. Saturn + Neptune transits can result in weight loss, but not necessarily from healthy means.

I went on Paleo for half of a year + CrossFit.

Recently also have taken up interest in fitness:

I've had some of those aspects.
(especially those mentioned by Kanon) that helped some of you losing weight but I didn't lose any weight at all.. or I lost liek 3 kgs the most.. and then gained those weight twice thrice etc..

I've been eating like a pig since I was 12 years old. But I started gaining weight when I was 18 years old.. What transits could indicate weight gain for 5-6 maybe more years? I am eating less than ever and gainin more than ever..

Those last 2 years I had T. Jupiter in my 1st and now he is in my 2nd conjucting N. Jupiter Venus and Mars in 2nd.. Natal Jupiter is lord of my 6th..

St the time Jupiter was in my 1st and in my 2nd H T Saturn squared my Asc Moon Sun Mercury Mars Venus Jupiter Saturn Neptune Uranus Pluto.. and if I am right.. Saturn transits began before T Jupiter was in my 1st.
