Krittika's Fire and the Cooling of Summer

The Moon's current stay in Krittika brings a sharp, piercing heat today. Since we're deep in the summer sun, this lunar placement can stir up excess Pitta dosha in your body. You might notice it as quick irritation or a dry, burning appetite.

It’s time to cool things down.

Focus on your diet today. Skip the spicy curries and fried snacks that fuel that internal fire. Instead, go for sweet, juicy fruits like watermelon or cooling cucumber salads with a touch of mint.

Drink plenty of coconut water. It’s the best way to soothe your digestion while the Moon moves through this fiery mansion.

Try to keep your evening activity light. Don't push yourself through an intense workout when the air is already thick and hot. A short, mindful walk in the shade is all you need right now.

Rest early. Your body will thank you for the extra calm before the morning heat sets in again. Treat your routine like a soft buffer against the intensity of these transits.
