Staying Balanced with the September Sun

It’s September 4th, and the Sun is strong in Leo. We’re in that late summer transition where Pitta dosha can easily flare up. You might feel a bit more irritable or notice your digestion feels a little sharp.

Here’s a simple tip: scale back on the raw salads and spicy curries for a few days. Focus on cooling foods instead. Cucumber, fresh mint, and coconut water are your best friends right now. They’ll help calm that internal heat that this Leo transit tends to stir up.

Don’t forget to hydrate, but avoid ice-cold water—it messes with your agni, or digestive fire. Room temperature is perfect. If you’re feeling restless, try a short evening walk once the Sun has set. It’s a great way to ground your energy without pushing your body too hard. Keep it simple. Consistency in your routine is better than any drastic change. Take care of yourself today.
