#342 - Weekly Energy Update for August 25, 2024: Summer to Fall Transition

Do you feel it? There's a hint of fall in the air. The transition from summer to fall is a big energetic shift. You may not feel like yourself. You may feel burned out, and sluggish with no energy. 

The transition from one season to another is a vulnerable time when we want to pay attention to our health. We want to prepare ourselves for these transitions so that we are aligned and work with them instead of spending our energy and health fighting against them.

According to Ayurveda, the hot Pitta summer gives way to the cool, windy fall Vata season. Our immune system and digestion weaken during that time. We experience issues linked to dryness, such as gas and bloating, constipation, chapped lips, anxiety, or insomnia. 

We want to balance this transition from hot and wet, to dry and cold, otherwise, a Vata-Pitta imbalance leads to burnout. The key to a smooth transition is to gradually shift your daily routine and diet. 

The good news is that we were officially in Virgo season. Simply put, it's simpler to establish routines and get organized during Virgo season. Routines balance all the dosha, especially Vata. 

We can breathe a sigh of relief on the 28th when Mercury goes direct. Because of the retro shade phase, which lasts for two weeks, we aren't completely clear. But things get better when it comes to traveling, technology, and communication.

Venus moves into Libra on the 29th. Libra is Venus’s home sign and it loves it there. Venus in Libra restores balance and harmony to our life. Venus in Libra is the ideal remedy to help calm any potential Mercury retrograde symptoms that may have arisen.

We’re in some great energy as August comes to an end.  Summer might be almost over, but these next few weeks will be peaceful and lovely.
