Astrologically, when is the best time to begin a weight loss program?

Is it the new moon?? I need everything behind me, lol :)

for weight loss, look for Saturn to be on your ascendant , opposite the ruler of your ascendant or square the ruler of your ascendant.

If Jupiter (of expansion) is on your ascendant, it;s gonna be hard work ...lol

:hi:

during mercury retrograde or when the moon is void of course. i have a "witch's" calendar (llewellyn's) for such reason....i love buying it when some fundie is manning the cashier stand...ok, i know, my bad.

(like bad habits) it's best to start at the waning moon (sometime after the full moon). Fixed signs (Leo, Scorpio, Aquarius) are best for sticking to a new routine or regimen. This is what I've heard and read over the years -- little to no personal experience to validate for you.

From a personal experience viewpoint, as I've been paying attention recently, it begins to feel to me that the energy at the Dark of the Moon ( the day or two, maybe 3 before the New Moon) is NOT good for doing much going forward with anything. It's a very winding-down type of time, where the energies are nearly depleted and that lunar cycle is literally decaying or falling apart/dissipating. Not a negative time, because the ending of cycles and decay is part of Nature and not in and of itself "negative," but just not a time that's well-supported for much external, out-in-the-world activity.
