Cooling the Fire Within

The Sun’s heat in Ashlesha, combined with Jupiter and Mercury in Cancer, is stirring up a lot of internal pressure. You’re likely feeling restless. Your Pitta dosha is spiked right now. When the fire burns this hot, you’ve got to prioritize cooling down before it spills over into irritation or acidity.

Stop reaching for icy drinks. They just kill your digestive fire, which makes things worse. Instead, try drinking room-temperature water infused with fresh cucumber or mint. It’s simple, but it works to settle that agitated energy in your gut.

Eat your main meal when the sun is at its peak, but favor cooling foods. Think sweet fruits, soaked almonds, or a bowl of basmati rice with cilantro. Avoid hot spices for a few days.

You’ve got to slow down your pace. Your nervous system is frayed with Mars sitting in Ardra. Keep your evenings quiet. Avoid screens after sunset. When you give your body a chance to cool its own internal temperature, you'll find you aren't so prone to the sudden outbursts that this transit triggers. Stay grounded.
