Why does everything feel so heavy when the Sun and Moon are in Krittika?

Why does everything feel so heavy when the Sun and Moon are in Krittika? I’ve been getting messages all week from people feeling this sharp, burning intensity. It’s no wonder. With the Sun, Moon, and Mercury all clumped together in Taurus under the star of Agni, we’re all carrying a bit of that celestial friction. It’s like a forge. Things are getting burned away, but it’s painful while it’s happening.

This might sound backwards, but when things feel this combustible, you don't want to fight the fire. You want to channel it. I’ve found that working with the Gayatri mantra isn't just for show—it’s the best way to handle this Krittika energy. It balances the solar heat and brings that much-needed cooling to your intellect.

But you’ve got to be consistent. Don't just do it once and expect a miracle. I sit for ten minutes every morning, usually checking my Vyom app to see where the transits are pushing me for the day, and then I just breathe through the friction. You don't need a fancy altar. Just find a quiet corner. If you feel that classic Krittika edge—the irritability, the impatience—use the mantra to turn that combustion into clarity. It’s not about ignoring the tension. It’s about letting it cook the ego, not your peace of mind. Give it a few days. You’ll feel the difference.
