Remedies During This Transit

The Sun in friendly Mars-ruled Scorpio does not need weakening -- it needs directing. Channel the intense investigative energy toward productive ends: research, therapy, financial auditing, or creative deep-dives. Offer water to the Sun at sunrise. Practice pranayama (breathing exercises) to manage the intensity. Chant the Maha Mrityunjaya Mantra for protection and transformation. Donate red lentils and copper items on Tuesdays and Sundays. If power dynamics at work or home become toxic, step back before reacting -- Scorpio's stinger can cause damage that takes months to repair.
