Indians seem to have caught up with the cultural premium that the western society has been putting on looking young with a slim and trim body and generally paying more attention to their shape and size of it. Astrologically, we are paying more attention to the First House (or Ascendant or Lagna), which represents our body, than any other area of our life (or Horoscope).

Understanding some basics of medical astrology can help you in planning your process of weight loss.

I have been pushed (by my doctor and wife – who happen to be the same person) into losing weight for medical reasons. So, I fully understand the trials and tribulations that you might be going through if you are on the journey to shed 10 Kgs or more.

Most often (but not necessarily!) Fat is an end product of the process of metabolism of Carbohydrate and Protein, which are ruled by Venus and Saturn respectively. There are many astrological reasons for severe accumulation of fat in the body.

Let us examine just one of them today. It is fairly well established principle in astrology that when Jupiter moves into your First House (also called Ascendant or Lagna), your potential to expand your physical body and put on excess weight increases exponentially. Luckily, this happens only once in 12 years!

And Jupiter has moving into its own house of Sagittarius on 22nd November 2007. Do you have Sagittarius as your first house in your horoscope?

If you have Sagittarius as your Ascendant/Lagna, you require some special advice to help you resist putting on weight and if you are already over weight, a plan to reduce the same.

For those who are interested in understanding the process of weight gain/loss through the prism of Astrology, here is a brief analysis.

The process of breaking down any complex substance or using up the complex substance is ruled by Mars, including the breaking down of the fat in the body; whereas, the process of combining simple compounds into complex structures is ruled by Venus.

The products that are results of the Mars Processes (which are usually toxins or waste products) are ruled by Saturn and the body needs to get rid of it. Whereas, the end products of Venus ruled processes are ruled by Jupiter. They are stored in the body for later use. Fat is one of them.

In short, dieting is nothing but a Mars ruled process resulting in a Saturn ruled by product! So, to lose weight all you need to do is increase your Mars and Saturn energies and reduce the Mars-Jupiter energies. It is all about balancing the two sets of energies.

Venus rules the sweets, starches (rice, idli, dosa etc.), appetite and your pleasure seeking senses. The output of these is products ruled by Jupiter, which causes expansion and heaviness.

So, here is a simple formula for weight loss:

a) Reduce Venus ruled products and processes;
b) Increase Mars ruled processes (like exercise);
c) Get rid of Saturn ruled end-products (like toxins);
d) Use-up the Jupiter ruled products (like Fat);
