Gulzarilal Nanda (Chart 1), one of our most honest and principled politicians, was slim
and reed thin. The Ascendant is the suska or dry sign Aries occupied by its ruler, the dry
planet Mars. No other planet, especially watery ones, influence the Ascendant Aries or its
ruler Mars resulting in a personality that never put on any weight.
Apart from Mars, Saturn is another dry planet. In fact, Saturn is the Karaka for an
emaciated-looking frame. Saturnine sign natives, that is, those born in Aquarius or
Capricorn, more particularly in the former, are relatively safe from putting on extra weight

though Capricorn is defined as a watery sign. The rulership of Saturn is not without its characteristic
influence unless overridden by other weight-producing factors. Saturnine signs with Saturn influencing
the Ascendant directly, especially from dry and airy signs, usually works against putting on weight.
P.T. Usha, Indias golden girl as she was known in her heydays, is a good example of the
Saturnine check on overweight.

The Ascendant is the airy Aquarius in Chart 2 occupied by its ruler, the dry Saturn. The
Moon, a watery planet, aspects the Ascendant but being in Leo, a fiery dry sign and himself
aspected by the dry Saturn, his influence ceases to be weight producing.
The watery and dry signs produce corresponding kinds of bodies but Aquarius is more of
an exception under watery signs. Likewise, though Sagittarius figures in the list of dry signs,
its nature as a common sign contributing to girth takes control. Libra is a watery sign but
being airy, is not really over-weight producing.
There are also specific combinations (Jataka Tattwa) which show thin bodies.

Indias most successful film star currently, the native of Chart 3 has Leo rising with its
ruler Sun in a Venusian sign Libra and which has endowed the native with a charismatic,
not necessarily handsome, personality. The Ascendant Leo is a dry fiery sign and is aspected
by the dry planet Saturn from an airy sign Aquarius. The actor is slim and may need no extra
exertion to continue that way.
Though Libra and Aquarius are shown as watery signs in classical texts, they belong to
the airy triplicity of Gemini. Rarely do these signs produce heavy bodies unless overcome by
weight producing factors.
When airy and dry signs are predominant on the rising sign and dry planets influence the
Ascendant directly with no watery planets interfering, then one gets a trim figure and
physique. More often than not, when Aries, Leo, Libra and Aquarius are aspected by Mars
directly, such natives rarely put on weight. When these signs are aspected by Saturn, then
they are also slim but tending more towards thinness and a scraggly appearance. When
Venus is also involved in directly influencing the Ascendant by aspect or occupation, then
such natives would not only have no problem staying slim but also have proportionate well-
formed bodies. An example for such a body is the late Princess Diana (Chart 4).

The sign Scorpio rising has its ruler Mars in the dry, fiery Leo with Rahu. Mars is
aspected by Moon-Ketu who themselves are influenced by the airy sign Aquarius which
they occupy. Venus aspects the Ascendant which endowed the native with a tall, slim
attractive frame. The fact the aspect of Venus on the Ascendant is from his own sign Taurus added to
the beauty of the frame.

Saturn from the fiery dry sign Leo. Thin and wiry, the natives appearance belied his intellectual

Another example of such a personality is of a British scientist (Chart 6) whose discovery
of theories related to Black Holes brought him global recognition. Thin and gawky, he can
lay no claims to looks of any kind. The scientist is confined to the wheel chair after he was
struck by motor neurone disease. That apart, what is to be noted is the fact many people
confined to wheel-chairs tend to put on excessive weight, especially waist downwards. In
this case that has not happened. We may note the airy sign Libra rising is aspected by suska
Graha Mars from the dry fiery Aries.
In all cases where only dry and fiery factors influence the Ascendant, the natives in a way
are blessed with bodies that refuse to put on weight. Mars and Saturn are dry planets and
give high metabolic rates. So they do not help fat to accumulate. If Mars alone is the factor
causing a slim or thin body, then the natives are smart with trim waistlines. With very little
effort they can even develop muscular looks. If Saturn is the planet, then muscular looks are
next to impossible even with exercising with weights. On the other hand, since Saturn is

sometimes a planet who does not exactly contribute to looks, he could give a tendency to a
nice little paunch even if the rest of the body is thin. Such natives need to consciously fight
this tendency through exercises that focus on the abdominal region.
Summing up, fiery and airy signs on the Ascendant make one naturally thin. The
influence by aspect or occupation of Mars or Saturn or of both on such an Ascendant adds to
the characteristic of staying thin. If Venus, under such circumstances, influences the
Ascendant, one is slim and attractive in build. If Mars alone aspects or occupies such an
Ascendant, then one has a good physique and an athletic frame. If Saturn alone is the planet
in such a position, one is thin and gawky. As always, afflictions mar the results. Favorable
influences enhance the results. In all these cases, exercise may or may not be necessary to
retain the slimness. If perchance, such natives tend to put on weight for any extraneous
reason life style basically simple exercises can help shed the extra pounds. The awareness
that one has such combinations as described above in the chart should make one realize that
ones body is structured that way and very little effort, if any, is needed to stay that way. It
can be a blessing then but if they want to gain weight, they must work harder than others to
acquire a well-rounded figure.
But what of those with obese bodies? Do they have a chance of reducing based on
astrological factors? More of it at a later date.
