Weight is one of our greatest "enemies". Almost 95% of people have sometimes faced this problem - how to adjust their weight and reduce it. Diets are good, but unfortunately no one loves them. Or at least not for a long time. We see them as a treatment - we follow a regime for a few months or up to a year after which we want to return to our freedom and we don't want to be careful about what we eat any more. Diet should not be seen as a "treatment". It is something which is for life. Every person has a certain type of digestive system which functions in a certain way and at a certain pace. And it is advisable to stick to your digestive system's needs, so that it will work properly for you. No one puts petrol in their car, if the motor runs on diesel. But we do this to our body regularly.
Today's article, however, is not about diets. It concerns the reasons why and when we gain weight. We usually focus on a diet to lose weight and rarely think about the reasons why we put on weight. Experts found out long ago what the main causes of obesity are, but the problem is that not everyone gains weight because, for example, he or she isn't doing active sports three times a week. Not that sports and movement are not recommended, but certainly there are people among our readers, who take regular exercise and are physically active but still put on weight and cannot handle the extra kilograms.
Obesity always involves emotional factors. The Moon in the horoscope has a priority meaning for our internal comfort. Purely physically, it is responsible for the stomach and its function. When we lack internal comfort, the most direct way to fill this lack is to fill our stomach. It is known that if you eat less food, the stomach signals a lack and appetite increases. If we don't provide food, the body starts accumulating. It may seem strange, but even if you do not partake of large amounts of food, when you lack inner comfort, the stomach tends to change the way the digestive mechanism functions - the stomach "feels" a lack and thus the body accumulates more substances. What happens is something almost literal - filling the stomach with food and filling the body with reserves of nutrients creates the illusion of internal comfort and fulfilment. And this stockpiling always leads to weight gain.
Therefore, you should understand under what circumstances you lose your inner comfort which causes your body to store more "comfort" food than usual. Read the information about the sign in which the Moon falls in your horoscope. The analogue of the Moon is the fourth house in the horoscope. The sign and the planet, which rules it, together with the Moon, give us information about all visible and invisible reasons why we gain weight.
Read the information about the sign of the Ascendant, to find out in which sign the 4th house falls, which is the ruling planet and what reasons for weight gain it is associated with. Then check out in which sign the Moon falls. The more obvious reasons are related to the planet ruling the 4th house. The Moon is associated with those deeper and more unconscious reasons for comfort due to which we tend to lose our inner comfort and our body compensates for this loss by gaining weight.
Ascendant or Moon in the sign Aries
The planet we are interested in is the Moon. It rules the 4th house (sign Cancer). For you, internal emotional balance, stability of your parental home and connection with your birthplace as a whole are extremely important. You are extremely vulnerable to emotional disorders, no matter how level-headed you may seem. If you find yourself in emotional disharmony or your feelings are hurt and disturbed, this leads to a sharp increase in appetite and you can eat everything your fridge contains until you calm down. Relationships in the family, in the home, and especially with your mother are very important to you. If they are frequently destroyed, if you lack the connection with your birthplace, you gain weight quickly. Any change in residence affects you - sometimes in a good way, sometimes in a bad way. When your internal comfort is disturbed, your body loses its water balance. Therefore, if you see that you are gaining weight, drink plenty of water - as much as possible. This is your magical remedy for calmness and achievement of emotional balance.
Ascendant or Moon in the sign Taurus
The planet we are interested in is the Sun. It rules the 4th house (sign Leo). The greatest sources of inner comfort for you are creation, a well energized ego, love and children. A wounded ego and love disappointments are the most frequent reason for why you overeat. For you, it is very typical to associate your ego with your personal creativity, and love and children with food. The more problematic those areas are - ego-confirmation, love and relationships with children - the faster you gain weight. For you, these are the sources of "fire" to burn calories with. When this "fire" fades away, you tend to gain weight very quickly even if you don't consume too much food. You should partake of hotter and spicier food in order to strengthen this "fire".
