In this YouTube short, astrologer Joni Patry warns that on Friday, August 21st the Moon will spend the day in Scorpio, specifically in the Jyestha nakshatra, which she describes as treacherous and associated with jealousy, violence, and war. She notes that the Moon will cross the fixed star Antares, the "star of war," intensifying these themes. Simultaneously, the Sun will be almost exactly conjunct Ketu, a configuration she says is especially difficult for world leaders. Patry predicts heightened emotional instability, loss of control, and potential conflict, urging caution throughout the week. She also mentions that former President Donald Trump has his natal Moon in Scorpio, implying a personal emotional impact for him on this day.

Friday, August 21st, and on this day, the Moon will be in Scorpio most of the day, if not all of the day, but it will be in the nakshatra called Jyestha. This is a treacherous nakshatra. It deals with jealousy, it deals with violence and war because within this realm, The Moon has crossed over the fixed star Antares, star of war, fighting back. And on this day, the Sun is almost exactly conjunct Ketu. This is very difficult for world leaders. I'm telling you, this whole week is the worst. So caution must be taken into account. And this debilitated Moon means people are going to be completely out of control. And that is, you know, the Moon being in Scorpio— very treacherous. And I do happen to know that President Trump has his Moon in Scorpio, so this is a very emotional day for him.
