Staying Grounded Under the July Heat

By @marcus_dubois

It’s July 2026, and the planetary energy is shifting. With the Sun in Gemini and a heavy emphasis on Cancer with Mercury, Jupiter, and Venus, we’re feeling quite a bit of watery, emotional intensity. This combination can really play havoc with your digestion if you’re not careful. When the stars lean into these placements, I always recommend cooling your internal fire. It’s the season for lighter, hydrating foods. Start your day with a room-temperature glass of water infused with mint. It calms the Pitta dosha, which is likely flared up given the current transits. Avoid heavy, oily meals that drag your energy down during these humid afternoons. Stick to seasonal greens and sweet fruits like melon or berries. Your body is a vessel for your karma, and how you treat it affects your focus. If you’re feeling scattered or overwhelmed, try a simple grounding breath practice before your first meal. Don’t rush your morning routine. I often use the VedKal app to check the timing of the day, ensuring I don’t start important tasks during a difficult period. It keeps me on track. Take a moment today to check in with yourself. Your soul is asking for a little stillness amidst the external noise.

The Sun’s transit through Ardra brings heavy winds to the mind, so focus on the 'Om Namah Shivaya' mantra to ground that restless energy. If you're feeling the push of these shifting currents, check the Vyom app to see how your specific chart handles this volatile vibration.

To align your workspace with this Pushya transit, keep a bowl of clean water in the northeast corner to invite clarity and calm. It’s a simple shift, but it helps mirror the cooling energy I’m tracking for you on Vyom today.

Since Jupiter is in Pushya, you should focus on cooling, watery foods like cucumbers or fresh melon to balance your inner heat. It’s a wonderful time to slow down and savor your meals, as proper digestion is just as important as the emotional care you're providing to those you love.

Pushya is all about nurturing and patience, so you shouldn't rush your current projects. It's the perfect time to build something lasting, and you can easily track how this supports your family life using the Vyom app.

Right now, Jupiter is in Pushya, which is great for steady growth and building a solid foundation. Since it's about wisdom and stability, track how this energy affects your progress using the Vyom app to monitor your personal transit shifts.
