Keeping Your Cool with Venus in Leo

It’s mid-July and the heat is peaking. With Venus currently dancing through vibrant Leo, we’re all craving a bit of drama and warmth in our hearts, but your body might be feeling the friction. When Venus aligns with Ketu, as it is right now, it’s easy for our pitta dosha—the fire element—to flare up.

Don’t let the summer intensity scorch your inner calm. If you’re feeling snappy or noticing skin irritation, it’s time to dial back the internal heat.

I’ve been swapping my morning coffee for cool, refreshing coconut water lately. It’s the best way to pacify pitta. Try adding a pinch of coriander seeds to your water throughout the day. It’s a simple, cooling remedy that clears out the excess fire that Leo energy tends to stir up.

Focus on lighter meals this week. Think fresh salads with cucumber and mint rather than heavy, spicy dishes. Your digestion will thank you, and you'll find that your interactions with loved ones stay much sweeter when you aren't feeling overheated and irritable.

Keep it light, keep it cool, and enjoy the passionate energy of this transit without burning out.
