Balancing Virgo Energy: Durga’s Wisdom for Summer

As we embrace the late summer and Virgo season, and the season of Pitta dosha from an Ayurvedic perspective, we find inspiration in the fierce yet compassionate presence of Goddess Durga.
Durga, a powerful representation of Shakti, embodies both the roles of a warrior queen and a divine mother. Adorned with a flowing red sari and mounted on a lion or tiger, she wields both weapons and tools in her multiple arms—each symbolizing a unique aspect of her divine energy.
Durga’s dual nature teaches us to navigate life’s paradoxes. Her weapons, such as a knife and trident, represent her ability to cut away what no longer serves us and clear obstacles on our spiritual journey. Her tools for awakening, including a conch and a bell, guide us towards spiritual growth and discernment. This embodiment of creation and destruction highlights her role in protecting the cosmic order while empowering us to face our deepest struggles with courage and compassion.
During Virgo season, which can amplify fiery Pitta energy, connecting with Durga’s essence offers profound support. Her guidance encourages us to balance our inner heat with calm, grounding practices.
