I'm a newbie to the astrology world but have a keen intrest.I just wanted to know if anyone could tell me when looking at your chart what kind of transits are the best to start a diet?

... any transit... just pick one... Yeah, that one will do...

Just get on it and get started, THEN look at a chart, any chart will doooooo... 

LOL Chad.... yeah.... I need to take that advice myself. :P

Starting anything at the new moon is good for staying power.

I've also heard, for short-term type diets, that to diet from the full moon to new moon hitches on to the "waning" energy...ie, as the moon gets smaller, so do you.

Aspects from Saturn to the ascendant, or Pluto to the ascendant are good for contracting (saturn) and transforming (pluto).

Transits through the 6th house can bring attention to diet and daily health habits.

But of course the best time to start a diet is always now, like the people said above...good luck!

Yes I thought 6th house transits - for instance Jupiter when it goes back into Aries will be transiting my 6th, and I believe it is fortunate for diet, exercise, finding the right physicians, etc.

Good luck to you - taking the first step is the hardest! 

Hi Jadex,

This book helped me out the most in this area, especially thinking about exercise as part of the whole package of your emotional makeup and life trajectory.  And I agree, the time to start is now...getting past the first internal resistance is so rewarding.

It's hard to find in bookstores... here's the amazon link:

Good luck!

Thanks for all the advice your right the best time is to start now just had a baby 6 weeks ago and I cant help eating biscuits biscuits and more bisciuts I think I will find will power soon enough, and I will look at my chart for the transits Vajra and Dorothy mentioned not to mention mabey getting hold of the book that Belle put up...Everything Helps.  Thanks..x

Congratulations! I had a baby 5 months ago.  Yeah babies!

I would usually agree with the "Now is the time" sentiment, but if you just had a baby, go easy on yourself.  You deserve those biscuits.  

Also agree the new moon is superb for setting intentions.  

I'm with Nota on this one.  Normally I borrow Dixie's "your butt doesn't know what day it is" (LOL) but honestly, you just produced another human being.  HOW COOL IS THAT?  I'm betting the recovery time is a lot longer than you might anticipate, though. And your little one is only six weeks old - I don't imagine anyone expects you to be hitting the sidewalk in your trainers just yet.  Do what feels right on that one.

Good luck and congrats!

lol @ shannon.

igood luck, jadex.

Thanks Guys for your comments really appreciate it..xx
