Staying Balanced in the Summer Heat

It’s mid-June, and the Sun is currently moving through Gemini. You’re likely feeling that extra heat building up in your body.

With the Moon, Jupiter, and Venus all hanging out in Cancer, there’s a strong watery influence trying to cool things down. Still, don't ignore the Pitta rising. When it’s this hot, your digestion can get a bit sluggish.

I’ve found that sticking to a cooling routine is the best way to handle this transition.

Skip the spicy curries and heavy fried foods for a bit. Reach for hydrating options like cucumbers, watermelon, and fresh coconut water. If you’re feeling sluggish after work, a simple drink of room-temperature water with a pinch of fennel seeds can really settle the stomach.

Try to wrap up your main meal before the sun is at its peak. Eating when your appetite is strongest is key, but don’t force it if you’re just feeling dehydrated.

Listen to your body. If it’s craving rest, give it rest. We’re part of nature, after all, and following its lead is the simplest way to live in harmony with our karma.
