Finding Stillness in the Pushya Glow

The Moon is drifting through Purva Bhadrapada, stirring up a bit of intensity in our minds. It’s a fiery, transformative energy that can leave you feeling restless or scattered if you aren't careful. Meanwhile, the Sun and Jupiter are cozying up in Pushya, the star of nourishment and protection. Because Pushya is ruled by Brihaspati, it's the perfect time to ground yourself. Your nervous system might feel a little frayed right now. I’d recommend starting your day with a warm oil massage, or Abhyanga, using sesame oil. It’s grounding, heavy, and exactly what you need to counter this airy, lunar movement. Keep your meals simple today—think warm, cooked foods like kitchari or steamed root vegetables. Don’t rush your morning routine, even if the world outside feels like it's spinning fast. Pushya loves discipline, so stick to a consistent bedtime to soothe that Purva Bhadrapada heat. Take a deep breath and let the lunar energy settle before you charge into your to-do list. You’ll find you have much more focus when you aren't fighting the natural current of the stars.
