September Health Check: Balancing the Virgo Season

We’re currently sitting in Virgo season with Mercury also tracking through the sign. It’s a period where the mind is sharp, but your digestion can easily get sluggish if you’re too focused on work.

With Sun and Mercury in Virgo, you’re likely overthinking your to-do lists. That mental clutter usually hits the gut first. In Ayurveda, this is a classic Vata-Pitta disruption.

I’ve been tracking the transit data, and it’s a good time to focus on grounding. Stop eating at your desk. You need to reset your digestive fire, or Agni, before the shift into the next season really settles in.

Try this for the next week: incorporate warm, cooked root vegetables into your evening meal. Avoid the cold salads that are still lingering from summer. Use a bit of ginger or cumin to assist with processing.

It’s about maintaining the engine, not just pushing it harder. If you’re feeling scattered, stick to a consistent bedtime. Your body isn't a machine, even if your current workload demands efficiency.

Keep it simple. Eat warm, stay consistent, and don't skip the basics.
