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".

Ascendant or Moon in the sign Gemini

The planet we are interested in is Mercury. It manages the 4th house (sign Virgo). For you, a source of inner comfort is the order in your life and the opportunity to be helpful, to take care of people around you. Relationships with colleagues and subordinates are particularly important. If you happen to be in some kind of chaos, if the order and discipline you have created are destroyed, if there is no one you can take care of, or if your relationships with colleagues and subordinates are disturbed, you lose your inner comfort quickly. In such cases, you seem to lose your stability, you lose ground, so your body puts on weight quickly according to the principle "the more I weigh, the more firmly I stand on the ground". You should try to maintain impeccable cleanliness and order around you, spend more time in nature, walk and use vehicles only when absolutely necessary. Or get a pet to take care of.

Ascendant or Moon in the sign Cancer

The planet we are interested in is Venus. It manages the 4th house (sign Libra). Intimacy and partnership, harmony and peace in life are the source of inner comfort for you. If they go out of balance, this becomes the most common reason for abnormal weight. Lack of closeness and intimacy, destroyed peace, lack of beautiful things around, make you eat any kind of food, especially sweets, in order to compensate this lack. Relationships with your intimate partner/spouse are the most important for you. If they shake, this leads to vehement loss of inner comfort. This is the source of "oxygen" for you. If you see that you are gaining weight, this is a sign that you lack "air" and the oxygen it contains. You should compensate this with more time outside, a colder home (cold air is saturated with more oxygen) and more social contacts which to bring "oxygen" into your body.

Ascendant or Moon in the sign Leo

The planet we are interested in is Mars (and Pluto). It rules the 4th house (sign Scorpio). Ambitions, activity, action and control over life, destruction and creation, relationships with your partner's family - this is your set of tools to achieve inner comfort. If all this is destroyed, if you cannot be active and if you are unable to achieve a particular ambition of yours, if you lose control over something important to you and if you cannot recover afterwards, if you get into a "checkmate" situation, your body starts to compensate by gaining weight. If there is nothing for you to "fight" for, nothing to conquer, if you don't get into challenging situations or shocking circumstances over which you cannot achieve control, your body loses its water balance. Therefore, if you see that you are gaining weight, drink plenty of water - as much as possible.

Ascendant or Moon in the sign Virgo

The planet we are interested in is Jupiter. It rules the 4th house (sign Sagittarius). Faith and optimism, generosity in life, travelling, getting to know different cultures and everything enriching your horizon, contacts with strangers, these are the ways through which you achieve inner comfort. The relationship with your father, with tutors and teachers, relationships with all the people who have such a function, are very important to you. When these are disturbed in any way - if you cannot travel freely, if you are unable to enrich your horizon, to believe in something and defend it, then your body responds with a compensatory weight gain. You lose the "fire" maintaining your inner comfort. 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".

Ascendant or Moon in the sign Libra

The planet we are interested in is Saturn. It rules the 4th house (sign Capricorn). For you, a source of inner comfort is the well built structure in life, the public and social status and the continued climbing of the ladder of success. Relationships with your father, with all the authorities you encounter - heads, bosses - are very important for you to live comfortably. When these things are at a standstill, your body compensates with more weight on the principle the more physical volume and weight, the more weight in life. The lack of success, social status and structure can be compensated with a more frequent contact with earth and nature. Walk and use vehicles only when absolutely necessary. Set yourself short-term and achievable goals, no matter how ordinary these may be.

Ascendant or Moon in the sign Scorpio

The planet we are interested in is Saturn (and Uranus). It rules the 4th house (sign Aquarius). For you, a source of inner comfort is the sense of individuality and unlimited freedom in life. For you, the existence of constraints and frames is necessary to have something to demolish and jump over. The more restricting circumstances exist in your life, the more your momentum to jump them over and thus to achieve inner satisfaction increases. Relationships with friends and belonging to a certain class are also very important factors for your inner comfort. If you have your unlimited freedom for granted, without having "fought" for it, if your relationships with friends are disturbed, if there's no reason to show your personality, your inner comfort dies. You lack "air" and the oxygen it contains. You should compensate this with more time outside, a colder home (cold air is saturated with more oxygen) and more social contacts which to bring "oxygen" into your body.

Ascendant or Moon in the sign Sagittarius

The planet we are interested in is Jupiter (and Neptune). It rules the 4th house (sign Pisces). For you, a source of inner comfort is the ability to live in a world of beauty and seduction - in what we call a paradise, with all its mysterious pleasures, and to which we always look for a way to escape. Some of you also look for an escape into the so-called spiritual world, filled with special rituals, dedication to spiritual pursuits and practices. When real life with all its problems requires you to take more time for it and when the opportunities to get away from it become fewer, when you can't afford financially the temptations and pleasures of life, or when you are unable to get into your spiritual world, your body reacts with weight gain. Your body loses its water balance because of the inner comfort loss. Therefore, if you see that you are gaining weight, drink plenty of water - as much as possible.

Ascendant or Moon in the sign Capricorn

The planet we are interested in is Mars. It rules the 4th house (sign Aries). Activity, initiative, action in life, always being the first, at the centre of everything, always competing - this is your set of tools to achieve inner comfort. When this is destroyed, when you are unable to be active, and especially to initiate things, when you cannot always be number one, your body begins to compensate by putting on weight. If you do not have a field for action, when you lack rivals and opportunities to prove yourself, when you are not number one, nor in the centre of events, you start to lose the "fire" maintaining your inner comfort. 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".

Ascendant or Moon in the sign Aquarius

The planet we are interested in is Venus. It rules the 4th house (sign Taurus). Material security and stability, family, home as a possession, everything that ensures survival and well-being on a purely material level, are the greatest sources of inner comfort for you. Family relationships as a whole, not just your personal ones, but also the relationships between other members of the family, are very important. When the possessions giving you a secure existence are threatened, you lose your internal comfort and your body reacts by weight gain on the principle "the more I weigh, the more I have in reserve to survive". Try to maintain your relationship with the earth, which is the source of all that is necessary for survival, spend more time in nature, walk and use vehicles only when absolutely necessary, cook only your favourite food.

Ascendant or Moon in the sign Pisces

The planet we are interested in is Mercury. It rules the 4th house (sign Gemini). For you, a source of inner comfort is communication, communicating with others, constant movement and availability of news, books, reading, interesting facts about the world and people around. You are the biggest consumer of other people's stories, the more interesting and spicier (even if these include gossips), the better. Relationships with classmates, neighbours, brothers and sisters are also a source of inner comfort. If you fall into news blackout, if there is no new news in your life, if your curiosity to the world is destroyed, if your relationships with your brother/sister or neighbours are disturbed, you lose your inner comfort and your body gains weight. Boredom is your biggest "weight" enemy. For you it is very important to constantly read, to learn something, to communicate with someone. When you lack "air" and the oxygen it contains, you should compensate this with more time outside, a colder home (cold air is saturated with more oxygen) and more social contacts which to bring "oxygen" into your body.
