Staying Grounded with the Moon in Mula

The Moon's transit through Mula nakshatra today brings a restless, probing energy. It's the root star, and it often pulls us toward the past. When things feel scattered, you’ve got to get back to the basics of Dinacharya.

With the Sun and Jupiter sitting in Cancer, your gut health is tied directly to your emotional state. Don't ignore the heaviness in your stomach right now.

I’ve been practicing a simple grounding routine to balance this Vata-heavy lunar movement. Start your morning with a warm glass of water mixed with a pinch of ginger and cumin. It helps clear the digestive fire, or Agni, especially when you're feeling anxious or unmoored.

Eat your largest meal when the sun is at its peak. Avoid cold, raw salads until this Moon transit passes; they’ll just pull more warmth out of your system. Opt for cooked root vegetables instead. It’s not complex, but it keeps you present. When your digestion is stable, the mind follows suit. Keep it simple, eat mindfully, and let the intensity of the day pass through you without grabbing hold.
