Summer Digestion and July Transits

It's late July. The Sun and Jupiter are together in Cancer, creating a heavy, watery energy. This transit impacts how our bodies handle digestion. You'll notice your digestive fire, or Agni, is a bit lower during this humid stretch. If you're feeling sluggish, don't ignore it. Stick to light, cooling foods that aren't overly processed. Avoid heavy oils or ice-cold drinks, as they'll just shock your system and stall your metabolism.

I've found that incorporating fennel seeds after meals makes a real difference right now. It aids digestion without adding heat to the body. Since Mercury is in Gemini, your mind might be running faster than your digestion can keep up. Keep your meals consistent. Don't eat while you're working or stressed. When you're eating, just eat. A regulated schedule is the best way to keep your energy stable while these planets move through their current signs. Keep it simple and you'll avoid the mid-summer burnout.
