In this YouTube video, sidereal Vedic astrologer Joni Patry interprets the September 10th new moon at 24° Leo. She explains that the new moon falls in the Purva Phalguni nakshatra, emphasizing relationships and how we should seek support, communication, and service to partners. Ketu’s placement on the fixed star Regulus in the Magha nakshatra highlights ancestral heritage and a collective need to honor ancestors, prompting a deep, global reflection on the past. Mercury’s exaltation in Virgo (2nd house from the new moon) signals a focus on finances, new perspectives, and intelligent problem‑solving. Venus in Libra brings a drive for balance, peace, and truth‑seeking amid worldwide upheaval. Saturn’s retrograde motion beginning after the new moon suggests upcoming governmental shifts, while Uranus’s stationary retrograde in Leo (10th house) warns of sudden, shocking events such as earthquakes and abrupt political shake‑ups. Joni advises listeners to practice heartfelt loyalty, lay low during disruptions, and use the new moon’s energy to improve relationships. She concludes with a promotion of her website, newsletter, Patreon community, and a Vedic astrology course starting September 30th.

Hi, I'm Joni Patry, and welcome to my YouTube channel. Well, today I want to talk about the new moon that occurs on September 10th. This new moon will be at 24 degrees of Leo. And remember, yes, I'm a sidereal Vedic astrologer. This is different than Western tropical astrology, but these are the true placements of where the planets are in the sky. Very important difference. So what's interesting about this new moon being in Leo, it actually sits in the nakshatra called Purva Phalguni, and this nakshatra deals with relationships. So this will be the Really the focus of our life this month, especially the first portion, the first few weeks. How do we look to our relationships for support? How do we communicate to make our relationships meaningful? And how are we serving and helping our partner? Very important to attest to and think about for this month. And the other thing that is very meaningful is Ketu is in Leo. They are quite a distance from each other, but still, all in all, Ketu is still right there on that fixed star Regulus in the nakshatra called Magha, dealing with our patronage to our ancestors. And Leo is all about our ancestral heritage, where we've come from. And I say this is the month that we should pay homage to our ancestors and thank them for all that they did to help us get to where we are today. And sometimes that may not be so positive, but everything happens for a divine reason. And we're here now because of it. And even if you don't like your situation, it doesn't matter because you're where you need to be for your most optimal growth in this lifetime. So we have got this Ketu in with the Moon and the Sun, which means deep, dark look at the past. That is really what it's about, not only for us individually but for us globally as a consciousness in the world. This is so important. And another thing I might add with this powerful energy here, that the Sun rules Leo, and this makes it the heart That we are going towards— the heart and loyalty and dedication. This is really what this new moon is about for us all this month. But you know what I find interesting about this month, and especially around the time of this new moon, is we're going to have Mercury exalted in Virgo, and it goes to the 2nd house from the sun and moon. This is a great month for looking at spending money, finances, and making a difference in your life. And the world is really trying to get things rolling in the right direction financially. Even though we got a long ways to go, there's work that's being done. And after the first few days of the beginning of this month Progress will start to unfold. You see, at the very beginning of the month, we were stuck. Now, because of hitting that wall, we're trying to look at things from an entirely different perspective, and that is how we're going to change it. We can't keep forcing, doing the same thing over and over again. What's the saying? The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result. This is what we got to wake up to this month and at this time, because Mercury being in its exaltation sign Virgo gives us the intelligence, the wisdom, and the power to look at things differently and learn. Now, all at the same time, Venus is now in Libra, and it will be in Libra Till, well, for a while, because it's gonna— that for the rest of the month, all the way through till it turns retrograde, and then it's going to change. But let me tell you that Venus in Libra is trying to bring balance and peace to the world, even though everything is being uprooted and everything is changing. And it is a crazy, unbalanced, out-of-control world right now. Venus is working on this. Venus is trying to get things in order, find peace, find our truths, really. But now that Saturn— it's retrograde, but it's starting to move after this new moon, because the new moon is a new beginning, let me remind you. Then things are going to change. And I find a lot of changes that we're going to find this month will deal with government. And at this time, Uranus is stationing and turning— yes, it's stationary retrograde. And this means that so many things are happening concerning the energy of Shocking events and changes. That's what Uranus is all about— unexpected, sudden events. And this is exactly the time that it is turning retrograde. So there could even be earthquakes around this time, considering the fact that Uranus rules sudden, unexpected events, which— what is an earthquake? And the world is shaking. And though, because Uranus does sit in the 10th house from where this new moon sits, there are sudden unexpected changes and shakeups in governments around the world. And that also has to do with the fact that Ketu is sitting there stationed at 5 degrees of Leo in the nakshatra called Magha. So many changes and disruptions And this is the month just to lay low and to move through it all. Things will get better by the things that are uncovered from this time onward. So this new moon, use it to improve your life in terms of your relationships and your connections to others, deep commitments. And one last thing, Leo is the sign of loyalty. And remember, when you are loyal to others, you will have loyalty returned back to you. What you put out, you get back. So always remember to practice the deepest heartfelt loyalty to others, and it will vastly improve and make your life better. So with that, I think I'll close.
