Impact of Planets on Weight Management – Sun

We have seen how Lagna or Ascendant impact weight management in the previous four blogs. Lagna determines the physique or frame you are born with.

• Karka (Cancer), Meena (Pisces), and Vrishik (Scorpio) Lagna’s are water signs that retain water weight as well as cling to past traumas that can cause issues with weight management.
• Meena (Pisces) lagna native sometimes uses food to escape reality
• Vrushabh (Taurus) lagna native loves the good life, which includes gourmet food. Those who belong to Taurus are great connoisseurs of good foods. It is rather difficult for Taurus to keep to the healthy eating regime.
• Karka (Cancer) lagna natives use food to pacify and comfort while Vrishik (Scorpio) lagna might be stuffing down those intense emotions and drives and tendency toward food addiction with excess calories.
• Vrishik (Scorpios) may become addictive to foods hoping to pacify emotions that sometimes overwhelm them.
• Simha (Leos) avidly consume their preferable foods and any food limitations may become a torture for them.
• Sagittarians are predisposed to energy accumulation and so to overweight.

All these facts are subject to placement of Lagna Lord, strength and aspects so individual charts should be checked carefully.

That being said, the position of the nine Vedic planets also affects different areas of life causing stress and health problems. The energies given by the planets as seen by the native charts can only fructify when these planets have appropriate strength. Let us start with Sun / Surya/ Ravi planet in this blog.

 Planet Surya represents the soul of the native. Surya is Agni / fire Tatva / element. It governs the vitality, heat, digestive system, eyes, heart and the perceptive aspect of the mind. Surya is the bestower of health, giving physical vitality and positive vital force(prana). A well placed and positive Surya gives an individual good health with strong resistance to disease and helps the native maintain an active lifestyle with good weight management.

Some points to ponder while analyzing

• Position and strength of Surya.
• Strong placement of Surya benefits with good health and vitality.
• Strong will power to achieve their weight management goals
• Weak position or strength of Surya
• Poor health and lack of vitality
• Persistent and recurring health problems
• Poor metabolism
• Exalted or debilitated Surya can give health problems.
• Surya is Pitta causing planet in Ayurveda (ancient medical science), capable of causing acidity and related problems.
• Proper remedial measures will help in alleviating the issues

Surya is the Lord of Simha/Leo Lagna as discussed in the previous blog.

We will continue this astrological weight management with discussions of other planets in the subsequent blogs.
