August Health Check: Cooling Down with Cancer

Look at the current sky. We have both Mercury and Jupiter sitting in Cancer. It's a heavy water signature. This combination often creates excess heat in the system despite the water element, as digestion slows down during this transit. You're likely feeling a bit sluggish or prone to inflammation if you aren't careful.

My suggestion is simple: shift your diet to favor cooling, astringent foods. Avoid heavy, oily meals that tax the gut. Stick to steamed leafy greens, cucumber, and plenty of room-temperature water. Don't ice your drinks—that just confuses the digestive fire.

Since the Moon is in Scorpio, focus on your hydration routine. It's an ideal time to prioritize gut health and avoid processed snacks. If you're feeling mentally scattered, ground yourself with a consistent evening walk. Keep it practical. Don't overcomplicate your meals. Your body needs efficiency, not flair, while these planets pass through these specific signs.
