Hi, I'm Joni Patry, and welcome to my YouTube channel. Well, today I'm going to be talking about the second week of July, so I'm talking about July 8th through the 14th. And in this, we are going to be looking at how the moon changes signs, how it is relative to all the other planets. This will create the mass consciousness of how we all feel on planet Earth. And with this, if you want to know how this affects you personally, how your birth chart all these planets will go through your individual birth chart. You've got to try my Galactic Planner. Try it out, you will be amazed. So you can go to the website, which is galacticplanner.com, and all of this will make more sense to you. So let's get going here. I am going to be talking about July 8th This is a Wednesday, and on July 8th, we have the moon has entered into Aries today. And whenever the moon's in Aries, things start moving quicker. Aries is all about speed and getting things done as quick as possible. Now it is in the nakshatra called Ashwini, and Ashwini is actually a nakshatra that deals with travels, quick fast travels, getting places. But we do have Mercury still retrograde, and it's going to be retrograde for a while in Gemini. And this means things can go a little hectic. Be more conscious and aware. Don't be in a hurry to do anything. You have to be aware. Okay, so looking at this, um, Jupiter is in the 4th house from the Moon. And if you are looking to buy real estate or purchase anything with real estate, this is a good day to do it. And Jupiter being— it's right now, it is by itself in Cancer, and it is operating solely on its own, it is all-powerful. So take advantage of this day if you're looking for real estate, buy, purchase, invest in anything with that. Now Mars is in the second house from the Moon, and this represents some— just be careful what you say, because Mars in the second house from the Moon means you could be impulsive, impatient, and say things you wished you hadn't. And another thing is, with this impulse— impulsiveness, be careful about buying things. Don't be over the top, too fast to make a decision, because that's what I'm seeing with this transit. Be careful. Now let's go to July 9th. This is a Thursday, and the moon is in Aries all day today, but it is shifted to the nakshatra called Bharani. Bharani nakshatra is about new beginnings, fresh starts, but things usually happen with a big bang. It's not a, uh, an easy nakshatra, but it does deal with new beginnings and births. So This is what this day should be used for. And we still have Jupiter in the 4th house from the Moon, so this is still a good day, this Thursday the 9th, to look at real estate because this is actually Jupiter's day, Thursday, and Jupiter is extremely strong where it's positioned in Cancer. So I want you to think about all of the good things that this day is about, even though Mercury is retrograde. So now let's go to Friday, July 10th, and on this day we have the moon has shifted into Taurus, but it is in the nakshatra Krittika. Krittika is sharp, gets to the point, and it's direct, too direct. Slow down, don't be so intense, because that's what the Moon in Krittika is all about. It will be crossing over Uranus today, which makes things very unpredictable. Things will happen suddenly, unexpectedly. Think about things before you act. And the Moon is coming together with Mars, so it could have a little bit of hostility and anger today. Now we do have Jupiter third from the Moon. It is a day you're going to want to, uh, come together, communicate, talk with people. Just be aware not to be too sharp or intense with what you're doing. All right, so now we're going to move to Saturday. This is July 11th, and on this day we still have the Moon in Taurus, and it is now in its favorite nakshatra. So things ease up a little with the Moon in Rohini. Rohini is about sensuality, it's about sexuality. It is about the finer things in life, so it might be a good day to go shopping, but be aware. Now, it's also a good day for relationships, Moon in Taurus, except I do have to throw in this exception because this is true, that we have— oh my goodness, we have The Moon is with Mars, and that makes anger, that makes hostility. People are upset today. And we just have Venus is with Ketu. Actually, Venus was with Ketu exactly on the 10th. It's still here on the 11th. And this, you know what, this could bring people from the past, thoughts about old relationships actually. And this actually goes for July 10th and 11th, that thinking of old relationships, old love. And it is an interesting day for how we approach people and how we react, more than anything. Don't be too reactive. That's what this day can indicate. So now I'm looking at Sunday, July 12th, and we have the moon in Gemini. Now it's in the nakshatra Murugashira, which deals with searching, seeking answers. And with that Mercury is exactly conjunct the Sun today, and with Mercury retrograde, this is called an inferior conjunction. So when Mercury comes together exactly with the Sun when it's retrograde, it is more intense for forgetfulness, for— because Mercury, even though it's, it's called kasimi on this day, there's something that's really good, but there's something that's really bad about it. And I'm thinking, be prepared. This day, things could go haywire, especially with travel plans. Be cautious and on the lookout for delays or setbacks or things like that happening, especially around the area of traveling. So the Moon is being Gemini, and people are very, very talkative during this time, and they're seeking out answers for things with the Moon being in the nakshatra Murugashira. So let's move on to July 13th. This is a Monday. The Moon is in Gemini all day, but it's in the nakshatra called Ardra. And Ardra's symbol is a teardrop. You always hear me say this. It deal— it's called the moist one too, so it deals with severity and weather. It's ruled by the god of the howling winds, Rudra. So severe weather around this time. And let's see, are there any— yeah, Venus is in a square to Uranus exactly on this day. So when it comes to love and romance, expect the unexpected. Things might happen that surprise you, where the carpet's kind of ripped out from underneath you suddenly, especially in the area of relationships. Now let's move to July 14th, and this is a Tuesday, and the Moon comes into Cancer and it is going to conjoin Jupiter. So things are feeling better today with the Moon. It's also in the nakshatra called Purnavasu. Purnavasu means return of the light, and actually I have to say that today is the new moon, and the new moon is a new beginning, a fresh start. And with this, because this new moon happens in Purnavasu, there are going to be new things, revelations that give us hope for the future. Yes, it will. And another thing I want you to know about this moon, it's in its own sign of rulership, very, very strong. And when I look at the new moon, the freshness, the brightness, the new beginning, this is what it's truly all about. And yes, that is an amazing new moon that's occurring. And I really like that the moon is going to conjoin Jupiter later on in the evening. So with this second week, we have still many ups and downs. I think you're going to want to know what's going to be happening this third week of July. Because things will change quite rapidly. So I'm going to close here.
