Astrology and Weight Loss
By Maria Shaw
Ever think of astrology as a way to lose weight? It can be a great tool. Not for just timing weight loss periods but weight gain times too. You can prevent the extra pounds if you're aware. Everyone has good times to lose weight naturally and easily. So what are they? The first aspect is called Saturn on the ascendant. You'll need to know your rising sign to determine this. However sometimes when Saturn conjuncts your sun sign, you can lose weight too. Although you may feel too darn tired to notice or care!
Saturn is a planet that "restricts". So if it's on your rising sign which rules the physical body, Saturn will work wonders. If you started a diet under this aspect, you'd probably be quite successful. Saturn would supply you with the discipline you need to lose the weight too. This aspect only comes around every thirty years.
Here's a rundown where Saturn will be over the next twelve years. If you don't see your sign listed, don't give up. Just know you'll have to go it alone without Saturn's help for a little longer.
Saturn Transits
Now and until July 16, 2004 - Cancer
(So those with rising signs in Cancer or those born under the sign of Cancer could lose weight. I lost 30 pounds in 3 months when Saturn hit my sun sign)
Leo - July 17, 2005 - September 2, 2007
Virgo - September 3, 2007 - October 29, 2009
Libra - October 30, 2009 - October 5, 2012
Scorpio - October 6, 2012 - December 23, 2014
Sagittarius - December 24, 2014 - December 20, 2017
A good time for weight gain is when Jupiter conjuncts the rising sign which happens about every twelve years. Jupiter expands things. That's usually good except when it expands your waistline. You can take precautionary measures knowing ahead of time when Jupiter will visit. Diet or exercise more before, during and a little bit afterward Jupiter comes to call.
These are the years Jupiter will be in seven of the twelve signs: Look for your sun or rising sign below so you'll be prepared:
Libra - September 27 2004 - October 26, 2005
Scorpio - October 27, 2005 - November 24, 2006
Sagittarius - November 25, 2006 - December 18, 2007
Capricorn - December 19, 2007 - February 5, 2009
Aquarius - February 6, 2009 - January 18, 2010
Pisces - January 19, 2010 - January 22, 2011
Aries - January 23, 2011 - June 5, 2011
More questions I get asked from clients about weight:
1. Why do people get fat after they married or get in a comfortable relationship?
My answer: Sometimes, when we get involved with someone, we have a tendency to lose a part of ourselves. So the body puts up a safe wall of weight so it doesn't lose anymore of "you". You will see many women who are married a while and sacrifice their lives for their kids and husbands gain weight.
Side note: To get down to a normal body weight takes a lot of courage for some people because basically your body is then choosing to live life unprotected by the layers of fat....and protected only by it's spirit. So when one gets in touch with their spiritual side and lives through spirit, the body does need protection nor the extra weight. It takes two years to adjust to your new weight. You'll find that when you become thin, you're vulnerable and must trust inner resources more because you don't have a wall of fat for protection
2. What about food addicts?
The food addiction signs are Cancer and Virgo. Taurus tend to put weight on easily too and some Pisces types as well. However the number one culprit in putting weight on, astrologically speaking, is the planet Neptune. Neptune can sabotage weight loss efforts. The addict looks at food as a reward and can easily be caught in self defeating patterns. Neptune helps one to let their guard down, to raid the fridge at midnight. Neptune destroys your boundaries.
Other tidbits:
Also did you know people who have had abusive homes, over protective parents or a lack of privacy as a child, tend to be overweight?
- People who can't say no to the demand of others will find it hard to say no to supersizing their fries at McDonalds.What was your quick fix in childhood, going shopping or having a cookie to make everything better? Think about. Early childhood conditioning lasts a lifetime.
- People with a Moon/Pluto aspect in their chart will bury their anger by getting fat. Some people eat hardly anything and still can't lose weight. This issue may because of anger issues. When they let go of their anger they often lose weight. Transiting Pluto will help you lose weight. It's a long process because it has to works also to remove old anger issues at the same time.
If someone has lots of childhood issues, a transit form Pluto will help heal Aquarius natives are more often to carry baggage from early upbringings than other signs. They can be quite rebellious as children.
Eating Disorders
It is said you can tell a person who has an eating disorder by the way they keep their home and car. If their car is messy and their house cluttered, their lives seem out of control. Therefore, their eating patterns may be out of control too.
Reasons People Eat and Remedies
Sadness - instead of eating, relax yourself, meditate more and become creative. When you are creative, you feel happy.
Anger - Get a drum and do drumming exercises. Affirm yourself releasing your anger and fear with every beat. Anger is fear.
Caregiver - For those of you who can't say "no" and are constantly taking care of other people, it's easy for you to put extra weight on. Start saying "no" when you can and do more for yourself. Wear red more often. Red gives you energy and sends out the message "Don't mess with me!" |

If you've been thinking about going, don;t put off signing up any longer. Clay Thomas has been working very hard on getting some of the most respected speakers from around the country together for our cruise. All of the classes and workshops are included in the price of the cruise. We are sailing from New Orleans on December 4 for seven days on Royal Caribbean's; Grandeur of the Seas. I will host a Bon Voyage Party for everyone at my French Quarter courtyard the evening before we sail. Here's a list of our speakers and topics.

Letters We Get
Please tell Maria she is amazing (I am sure she knows); on July 25, she told me I would meet a powerful, highly successful man; two weeks later I met him. She said I would meet several men and one would have the letter "J"; he does. He is also foreign (european) as she said; he is a highly successful surgeon. I plan to have a 2004 July reading on a yearly basis. I love the tape and it keeps me very optimistic.
Regards,
Janis V. |
