It’s a fact that the stars play an important role in what we are. Astrologers say that different astrological sun signs have different attractions to food and it shows in the way we put on weight!

Astrology has four basics signs which are fire, earth, air and water. These different sun signs have different susceptibilities to diet. So here's a quick synopsis of how different groups eat and their metabolism are.

Fire signs

Aries, Leo and Sagittarius are all fire signs and are the most energetic of all the signs. As fire is the dominant sign of these sun signs they also have faster working digestion systems and as a result, they burn up and use food faster.

They do not put on weight that fast and do have the will power to lose that same weight.

Air signs

Gemini, Libra and Aquarius, are all air signs and are most sensitive to external stimuli. As air is responsible for controlling and influencing their nervous and circulatory systems and their digestive system, they are easily influenced and are easily stimulated to eat when they are upset or angry.

They do put on weight fast and find it difficult to lose it!

Water signs

Cancer, Scorpio and Pisces are more emotional and thus tend to over eat. The water element causes these sun signs to have a tendency to be swayed by fad diets and supplements.

They can't really make up their minds about dieting and are easily swayed by criticisms from other people regarding their weight and appearance. There is a tendency that these sun signs will put on weight easily in later years and it has to be controlled when young.

Earth signs

Taurus, Virgo and Capricorn, are the steadiest and most balanced in their diet and commitment to good health. The earth element does have a tendency towards easy weight problems. They are extremely patient and as a result of all the sun signs are most capable of sticking to a weight loss diet.

For these sun signs overeating, lack of exercise and sedentary habits are more that likely to cause a fast weight gain. But they are persistent enough to stick to a good weight loss plan.

Sun signs have a strong influence on our personality and the way we live our life.
