May 2026: Balance Your Energy

It’s May 23, 2026. The Moon is moving through Ashlesha, and Mars is burning bright in Aries.

You’re likely feeling the heat, both literally and energetically.

In Ayurveda, this is the prime time for Pitta imbalance.

Your internal fire is high, so don’t overdo the spicy food or heavy exercise.

Focus on cooling foods: cucumber, mint, and coconut water.

Keep your digestive fire steady. Eat your largest meal at midday when the Sun is strongest.

I often check the VedKal calendar to time these shifts, as timing your meals with the daylight helps your body regulate.

Don’t push through exhaustion.

If you’re feeling scattered, stick to a routine.

Wake up early, drink warm water, and avoid screens before bed.

Western numerology likes the number 6 for harmony, but here, I prefer the grounding nature of 8 to stabilize the current planetary energy.

Wear earthy tones today. It helps keep your focus sharp and your temper cool.

Stay grounded, stay cool.
