Hi, I'm Joni Petrie and welcome to my YouTube channel. Today I'm going to talk about the month of February. And this is a very special month because we have a solar eclipse. Eclipses are one of the most powerful tools we have as astrologers for prediction. And what I find most pertinent about eclipses is they really intensify the energy on planet Earth. And always around two weeks before, two weeks after an eclipse, you, you always see intense emotions and what starts rumbling is the earth. You're going to see a lot more earthquakes. And as I said before, this is a year of earthquakes. A lot is going to be shaking and a lot is going to be changing. But for right now, two weeks before, two weeks after the solar eclipse, which is solar eclipse, will occur February 15th. We have more earthquakes, more volcanic eruptions and more intensity all around the world. And that's already happening right now. And let me also remind everyone that the last time that Ketu was in Capricorn and Rahu was in cancer was 1999, 2000. And the stock market was so high back then, everyone was so excited, just as they are today. But everything's cyclic. And yes, there's going to be a big change. It's going to really start to change by this summer. So hang on. But there is a lot of things that you can invest in to do very well, not only in the stock market, but of course, as I've been telling everyone, cryptocurrencies, these are going to be the trends of the future. They're not going away. But for right now, this particular month, we're seeing a lot of things be uncovered because every time we have eclipses, which are only twice a year, there's going to be another series this summer. But for right now, these eclipses are all about the gains in finance and the economy growing and being so high that nobody understands how all of last year the stock market has been at an all time high and every month it has stayed consistent. This is unheard of. But things will change. But for right now, we're still on that roll, going high or staying higher. So this is going to be a great year for wealth and finances. So everyone needs to take the time to look at what they want out of their life because this is a prosperous year. But when we have eclipses, they always uncover things from the past. But we can always go back to the last time, 18 and a half years ago, that the eclipse points were in the same sign to better understand why what's going to be happening now. And a lot of things are coming up about the uncertainties and not being clear and the corruption in the governments. And this has been brewing for a long time. But I believe that where the planets are, are going to finally clear things out and make the world a better place for prosperity. That's where we're headed.
Now. This month we have Mars in Scorpio. This is an intense sign for Mars to be in because Mars in Scorpio pulls up intense feelings, anger and hostility and possible terrorist attacks as we have been having all along. But it intensifies now. Now looking at the date of around February 12, March, Mars will conjoin the fixed star Antares In Scorpio, around 15, 16 degrees of Scorpio, that is the star of war. So you're going to find things really intensify during that time of the month in terms of anger, in terms of fighting back, in terms of governments breaking down.
And really turning on the governments protests, things of that nature all around the world. This is just, this is not just in the United States. Although I will say this, looking at the United States chart that I use, this Rahu in Ketu, Cancer, Capricorn fall across the second and the eighth house of the United States chart. It's all about finances, money increase, major shifts and major changes. Just like the last time you these planets were there. And in the chart that I used for the United States, Rahu and Ketu Natally in that chart are in the second and the eighth house. And this is why when these planets go into Capricorn, the stock markets do well, the economy does well, and this will continue for a time.
So another very interesting aspect that is occurring this month while Mars is in Scorpio, it's going to be aspecting Neptune. And when this transit occurs, always.
I have found in the past oil and gas increase in price. So watch that and you can even look at the stocks concerning that because that those will increase. So Mars will Square Neptune exactly February 17 and it will be at 19 degrees of Scorpio. Aquarius, whenever Mars aspects Neptune, it brings out the deceptions, the denials, the deceit, the lies. And particularly along the path dealing with humanitarian efforts. And if people have not been honest, they will be exposed, particularly if they're dealing with charities or humanitarian efforts, because that's what the sign Aquarius is all about, helping people and humanity. But when Mars squares that things start unraveling, showing the truth of where people have been and how they have been corrupt. So the whole theme this month is exposing corruption Bringing the truth out. And that's what eclipses are all about. So another thing that I want to take note of this month, all the planets are direct. There are no planets that are retrograde. So things are moving along quite nicely. And this is a good time to make plans because in the next few months, everything's going to pretty much turn retrograde. And that causes delays and setbacks. So if you have some projects you want to initiate, this is the month to do it. Another thing is that Venus will be traveling with Neptune. So this is a time that beautiful things come out such as movies and music. This is a beautiful time of creativity, the arts, and so many things that empower people to be creative during this month. Now, interestingly enough, this eclipse, which is out of sign, another words, the new Moon. When we have a solar eclipse, it's when we have a new moon and it's tied up with either Rahu or Ketu. Now this one's with Ketu, but they're in different signs. So this is called a partial eclipse because it's a wide orb between the sun and the moon and Ketu. But this makes it where it's not as intense as a total solar eclipse. And the thing that makes it an eclipse is the degrees. They have to be within 18 degrees of each other, but this is a wide orb. So it's not going to be quite as intense as that total solar eclipse that we had last August. But that's still, still causing a lot of the discord and eruptions around the world because eclipse energy still stays intact for about a year.
So another thing that I see happening is all of the power is coming back to the people because for so long the governments around the world controlled the economy. And not so honest before. All these things are unraveling and surfacing about governments and the corruption and how they control the economy and the money and how it works around the world. But now the people are taking back their power. And the way that I see this happening is through cryptocurrencies. Because now people can exchange money around the world with each other, excluding banks and excluding governments. Now, the government and the banks aren't too pleased with this and will probably.
Not down talk it somewhat, but it's still here to stay. Just remember, I know I repeat this many times. We couldn't understand credit cards or we couldn't understand the Internet. This is the next big thing and it's giving back the power. So all these different cryptocurrencies are going to give back the power. Now some of Them are going to make it. Some of them are not.
And I have some classes that I'm teaching that you may be interested in, where I'm going to analyze which cryptocurrencies are going to be big in the future and the ones that will not. Now these classes you can find on my website, which is galactic center.org and this is probably one of the most exciting times to be alive on planet Earth with the power being returned to the people, especially financially. This is exactly what this is going to do for the world as people start to be able to know exactly where their power is and where their money is. And this is going to make this a more prosperous, more exciting and better world. So stay tuned. And you can, you can get involved with this, you can get involved with this. Time is the time that you can make money because this cycle doesn't last forever. But right now, pay attention. These cryptocurrencies are the wave of the future and will give back freedom. And I find many of the governments around the world are definitely going to get involved. They're going to get involved by putting more taxation, regulations and rules. And maybe we do need some rules. But right now you're getting in on the ground floor. That's the best time to get in on anything. That's going to be really big. So this month, so many things are going to be exposed and so many things are going to come forth that are going to give power back to the world. And every country around the world is connected now. It's a global economy.
