Why does spring make me feel so lethargic and heavy?

Why does spring make me feel so lethargic and heavy? It’s a common complaint, but looking at the current transit, it makes total sense. We’ve got the Sun and Mercury pushing through the end of Aries, building that heat, but the Moon and Saturn are anchored in Pisces. It’s a strange friction.

Because the Kapha dosha tends to accumulate over the winter, spring is when it finally starts to melt. But if your digestion isn't sharp, that 'melt' just turns into internal sludge. I’ve been feeling it too—that mid-afternoon fog that just won't lift.

So, here’s what I’m doing. I’ve switched to a lighter diet. Think bitter, astringent, and pungent tastes. If you’re used to heavy grains, try swapping them for barley or millet for a week. It’s simple, but it stops that dampness from building up in the body.

Also, avoid cold drinks like the plague right now. It sounds counterintuitive because the weather is warming up, but cold water just douses your digestive fire when it’s already trying to work overtime.

If you want to track how these shifts impact your personal energy levels day-to-day, I’ve been using Vyom to map these transits against my own routine. It keeps the data grounded. Keep it light, keep it moving, and watch how that heavy spring feeling starts to dissipate.
