Love life? What love life. <img src="https://www.astrologyweekly.com/forum/styles/smilies/tongue.png"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":tongue:" title="Tongue    :tongue:" data-shortname=":tongue:" />Interesting what you write about Venus "Venus playing the substitute role of con-fection sweetness for 'the real thing' that is based on affection shown by love."Yes, I very much do understand the physical and nutrition aspects. I spent a many years thinking I could "heal" myself that way thus so many types of "diets."  Controlling what you eat, don't eat can occupy a lot of mind space thus I think in can also be a distraction into the why one binges. I am now clear it is not my mind (understanding/control) that is going to really create change. I've cleaned my body of sugar and carbs numerous times for months on end, only to go back and usually more intense than pre-cleanses.I've spent time in and out therapy dealing with the "mother wound." Definitely deep and definitely hard to put to rest. It's a tricky one even therapists will reinforce the statement "our parents did their very best."Interesting what you write about Saturn in Aries. I have taken in a lot of poor behavior. Haven't set boundaries. Definitely VERY lethargic in the last three years more so than any other time in my life. This last year I have been working with developing my assertiveness as well as bringing consciousness to a lot of things in my life. It a bit shocking really how unconscious I have been to a lot of my feeling life. I approach most things with my mind and detachment. I had a therapist once tell me I talk of my childhood as if it wasn't me, but telling someone else's story. Perhaps my Aquarius moon.  BUT maybe this is the block and I don't address the feelings, but eat sugar instead. I do think the eating is psychological, but can't seem to get to the root of of the psychology thus the draw to astrology. I have also been doing a shadow work online course.  I guess astrology is my hope to find what am I missing.  However, perhaps it is just another way to be in my mind about it.I did see a somatic bodyworker for the first time on Friday. She said my body, in particular, my stomach region is very very tight - has a lot of holding. Perhaps dropping the mind stuff for awhile and doing body centered practices may help.As you state I need to lay the past to rest and I have been doing a lot of work, but this binge eating habit is strong, really strong and has been with me the longest. If this upcoming transit of Saturn/Pluto can give the healing work a boost that would be ideal.Again, thank you for the insight.</blockquote>
