Staying Grounded Under the July Skies

It’s July 2nd, and with the Moon moving through Capricorn, I’ve noticed a lot of us are feeling the urge to buckle down. You might feel a bit of pressure to handle family chores or professional duties all at once.

With Jupiter and Mercury currently sitting in Cancer, your emotional intelligence is high, but your nervous system could be a little frazzled. When the planets shift like this, I always suggest focusing on grounding your Vata dosha.

Try this for your evening routine: take ten minutes to massage your feet with warm sesame oil before bed. It’s a simple way to pull that excess energy down from your head and into your body. Since it’s hot outside, keep your meals cooling—think fresh cucumbers, mint, and coconut water.

Don't skip your routine just because life feels busy. Keeping a steady pace will help you manage these Capricorn Moon transits without feeling burnt out. If you’re ever confused about when to start a new project during these shifts, I check the Choghadiya in my VedKal app to make sure I’m working with the best timing for the day.

Be kind to yourself today. You’re doing enough.
