Staying Balanced with the July Heat

It's July 2026, and the planetary transits are bringing some intensity. With the Moon currently in Aries and Jupiter comfortably in Cancer, you might feel a bit of internal heat. Aries is a fiery sign, and when your system is exposed to this energy, it's easy for your Pitta dosha to flare up.

Don't ignore that sudden irritability or acid reflux. Your body is trying to tell you something. To counteract this, focus on cooling foods. I’ve been recommending fresh coconut water and sweet, juicy fruits like watermelon or pears. They’re excellent for pacifying that internal heat.

Avoid heavy, spicy, or fried meals for the next few days. They’ll only burden your liver while Mercury moves through Punarvasu. Instead, keep your lunches light and favor cucumbers and cilantro in your salads.

If you’re feeling scattered, try a simple evening routine. Soak your feet in cool water before bed and apply a little sandalwood oil to your temples. It’s a small, practical habit that works wonders for keeping your mind clear and your energy stable. Stay grounded, stay cool, and don't overexert yourself while these transits settle.
