Hi, I'm Joni Petrie and welcome to my YouTube channel. Well, today I'm going to be talking about the second week in April, from April 8th to the 14th. And with that, I'm going to be looking at where the Moon is and how the other planets are in relationship to the moon to give you a better feel of how you can navigate and plan your week according to the stars. So with that, before I move on, please I want to remind everyone to sign up for my free newsletter. Go to Galactic Center.org and while you're there, check out my Patreon page. With this you will be in connection with me and get exclusive information that you cannot get anywhere else. And last but not least, my love is teaching astrology. And check out my university. It's all online and I teach live classes every week. Universityofvedicastrology.com so with that, let's get going. Let's start with April 8th. Why am I getting excited about this day? It's a solar eclipse. And with that, so much is pending and happening and building. The sun and the Moon are together exactly at 25 degrees of Pisces. And Rahu sits at 21 degrees of Pisces. So this deals with the immense emotional energy. This is profound. You have to understand that this is a day that I want you to really focus on deciding what you want to do with your life. It's a powerful day, but it's not necessarily a day that I would go out and begin new projects or start businesses or have meetings. This is a day of inner reflection for you to do some prayers or rituals, whatever you want to call it, that empowers you to improve and make your life better for the following year. This is like a mystical day, a turning point. Now, looking at the moon, it will be in Pisces most. Most all of the day. Yes, the whole day. But let me see, when does it change out of Pisces? So you will know that it's really going to be around.
Around 9:30pm Central Standard Time, that the moon will will change from Pisces to Aries. So it's going to be in Pisces all day, till the evening. And with that, Pisces is that creative force. But the moon is going to be changing signs late in the day. But take advantage of this. Being in Pisces, it's a time of healing, compassion, speaking to people. Your truth, what you really feel. Love and gratitude. Why do I say that? Because Mercury is with Jupiter in the second house from the Moon. That's our voice, that's our speech. Another thing is it's a good day actually for finances and money. Things are improving, but still we've got the Mars and Saturn in the 12th from the moon. No, I'm not going to say it's a. It's not a day for you to do anything around investments. Maybe it's a good day for you to look into your money matters, organizing it. And maybe you might spend some money this day. It's not going to be all bad, but it's not a good day for investing. That's what I want you to know. It's a day of emotion, radical change, and it's a day of inspiration where I want you to do some kind of prayer or ritual or affirmations as to what you want to achieve in the coming year. This is a starting point.
It's a solar eclipse, but that's a new moon right before the beginning. So let's move on to April 9. The moon is in Aries all day today. And of course it's approaching Jupiter. So this is a day of positive energy coming forth, new beginnings. Now that Mars, Saturn is going to be in the 11th house from the Moon, which is actually the best place you can put these two planets. So it means that you're going to be able to really come together with your dreams, your goals, your ambitions, your desires for this day. But it's not a great day to meet with friends. The 11th house deals with friends and groups and organizations. And these two malefics here would definitely mean you would have conflict with friends. Friends. So be careful with meetings today. And the sun and Venus and Rahu are in the 12th house from the moon. The 12th house is the house of endings. So with Mercury being retrograde, and by the way, today is the day that Mercury leaves Aries and goes into Pisces in its retrograde backing up. So it backs up and it's at 29 degrees of Pisces, which this means. Well, it's Gandanta, so people are really kind of out of control, really. This. It's really hard for me to find good days this month because of so many things going on. Mercury is now debilitated, it's retrograde. It's Gandanta. People are not acting rationally. Just be aware of that. It's not always going to be like this, but I do like the Moon being with Jupiter. So there's a certain degree of optimism and hope and opportunities. But it's not necessarily a good day at all for gatherings with friends, with groups and.
Yeah, Mercury changing signs, people change their minds, people are fickled so. But all at the same time within yourself you're feeling okay. So looking at April 10th we have the moon still in Aries and it will change out of Aries late that evening around, let's see, yeah around 10:30pm Central Standard Time. But being in Aries it's going to be in the Nakshatra called Kritika which is sharp and cutting with a knife. This is a very difficult Nakshatra for the moon to be in. Plus the moon is conjunct Uranus which represents unexpected events. Very nerve wracking, very upset setting with the moon being with Uranus the public, the people are unpredictable. But the worst aspect today is the Saturn conjunct Mars exactly at 20 degrees of Aquarius. And this conjunction deals with obstacles, with head on problems, with conflicts, with setbacks, delays, problems. Be aware this is a very difficult aspect and it doesn't happen but once every two years. But when it does it's like it's a very intense day for problems. Don't set out to do anything new on this day even though they're in the 11th house it's problematic. And I want to say that Mercury, Sun, Rahu, Venus, Neptune are all in the 12th house from the moon. Very difficult day. Lay low, don't plan anything new. I'm concerned about this Saturn Mars conjunction can cause some kind of violence or upsets somewhere in the world.
So April 11th the moon will be in Taurus.
And it's going to go into the Nakshatra Rohini. And this is a wonderful place for the moon. As a matter of fact it is the best place for the moon because it's exalted as well as the Nakshatra is the favorite Nakshatra of the moon. Now the planets, all the other planets to the moon are in much better positions. I know Mercury's retrograde, that's okay. Mercury is exactly conjunct the sun today. So it's combust the sun actually it's, you know it is really in a difficult place. So people aren't thinking clearly With Mercury being with the sun in Pisces, retrograde debilitated. And actually the sun and Mercury are Gandanta. So the thinking mind is really obsessive compulsive and not forward thinking in a positive way. But there are positive points about this day. Jupiter goes to the 12th house from the moon. This is a day of generosity, of wealth. Jupiter 12th brings people being more generous, more kind, more compassionate. And most of all, Mars and Saturn, that conjunction goes to the 10th house from the Moon. What does that mean? It's a great day to go out and try to find a job. This is a pressing matter. I know Mercury is retrograde. It's not everything. But it is a good day because Mars and Saturn being 10th will push you forward. And if you've been asking, needing to talk to your boss about something.
Could be a good day for that. But it does bother me that those are two malefics. It's a good day for finding new work. It's a good day for working hard and finding your purpose. But you might find that your boss is a little uncomfortable to deal with because of this. The 10th house deals with your boss. Be aware of that now. The Mercury, sun, Venus, all those planets are in the 11th house from the Moon. Actually, that's not a bad place. It would be a good time to come together with friends. I love the Venus with Rahu. Important and powerful people can come about, but communications are off. Just be aware that people don't necessarily know what they want and they may change their mind.
So now I want to talk about.
April 12th. April 12th is the day that the Moon is in Taurus and it's going to change out of Taurus that late evening. Let's see what time it will actually move into Gemini the next day. So it will be in Taurus the entire day. And it's going to be in the Nakshatra Murakashira. That Nakshatra deals with finding things, deals with the search, the journey to find things. And this could be when you find that missing piece to a collection or shopping. Because Venus, Rahu, Mercury and Sun are all in the 11th house. So it's a good time to come together with friends and people or go shopping. Venus is exalted in Pisces, extraordinarily strong, coming together with Rahu, expensive items. Or you could come together with some very influential people or friends and the workplace. Be careful around your boss because that can be very difficult, dealing with your boss, even though it's a good day for work. Finding your purpose, finding direction, finding missing pieces. That's what April 12th is for. So let's go to April 13th.
The moon is going to be in Gemini all day and it will be in the Nakshatra. Ardra. Ardra is the symbol of a teardrop. So there's something not quite right. There's a certain degree of sadness in the air, a heaviness, sort of like eruptions of storms. Could even be Literally bad weather. But the Sun, Jupiter, Uranus are in the 11th house. This can be a chance unusual meeting with a friend. Now the sun is just entered into Aries today. So now the sun is exalted in Aries and in the 11th house from the Moon. This is a great time for friends and meetings coming together with people because in the 10th house from the Moon sits Neptune, Venus, Rahu and Mercury. And even though Mercury is going to cause disruption and misunderstandings, it is still, still with Exalted Venus. So it's in a better position.
But people are still kind of not together with their thoughts. People are still absent minded with, with retrograde, debilitated Mercury. But it's in the 10th house. So be aware around your workplace people will be very opinionated and be very confused, but all at the same time. There's some good things that are going on around work with exalted Venus there. So you might find that people are agreeable on one level, but their communications are not clear. But there's something good coming out of the workplace. Now. The Mars, Saturn being in the ninth house from the Moon is good for lawsuits, getting things done. But there could be some problems legally in the world that are going on that need to change. So maybe change in government rulings. These are things that are having to be worked on. There may be a standstill, but there is definitely an issue and a problem that we all realize has got to be addressed.
So now I'm looking at April 14th. This is the last day of this week that I'm going to talk about. The Moon will be in Gemini all day and it's going to move into the Nakshatra called Poorna Vasu. It means return of the light. So things actually move up to get better today because the Nakshatra is more agreeable, more positive. Communications are good today. Why? Because the Moon is in Gemini in a good Nakshatra. The Jupiter, Sun, Uranus are in the 11th House. Meeting with, with friends, with groups, with unusual people that can help you. The Venus, Rahu, Mercury are very intense in the 10th house. So things are getting done around the office. But still there has to be some major changes with the laws. And people know this. People are working on it. Yes, there's been some major setbacks, but things will change. And there's just probably something like a setback going on with the government too. That's what I can tell from this day as well. So with that, I conclude the second week of April. So stay tuned, come and listen and hear what the third week in April will be about in my next week's video. Thank you.
