Hi, I'm Joni Petrie and welcome to my YouTube channel. Well today I want to give you a little forecast on what I think could be happening for the year of 2023. Everyone towards the end of a year is always looking forward to the beginning of a new year and hopes that things will be better, things will improve. We'll see more light at the end of this tunnel. Right. So I'm going to give you a little preview of what I'm going to be talking about for my 2023 predictions. Now I'm going to have a two hour class I want you to be aware of that's going to be December 17, two hours from 12.30pm Central Standard Time till 2:32 hour class after. Afterwards I will, I will answer any questions live in this broadcast. So all of it will be recorded. And yes you will get the recording of my 2023 predictions. So it's December 17th, 12:30 noon Central Standard Time. You can go to my website to purchase this two to three hour class. Go to Galactic Center.org and I will have a link below that you can directly go to it. Because I'm limiting it to a certain amount of people. I do not want this class to be massively full. I want to be able to have personal time with all of you. So with that let me give you some previews of what you can be expecting from for 2023. First of all, so many people, psychics, astrologers are saying this is going to be such a horrible year. It's worse in 2022. I don't necessarily see that, but what I am seeing is the first part of the year will not be that good. There's going to be some aftermath of everything that's really going to be happening. I see the end of this year 20 leading into 2023. So the main feature that I see that's causing so much disruption, it started in October with the Mars retrograde. Mars went retrograde on October 30 and it will not go direct till January 12 and around this time when it's stationing the end of December. And the first few weeks of these are going to be crucial. This is going to be a very crucial difficult time, especially in the United States, but China as well. In this class that I'm going to present to you, I'm going to go over all the country's charts. But I'm going to give you today a little look at the different charts of different countries and what to expect because China will be in the news, there's going to be many outbreaks and rebellions, possibly with the United States. I'm seeing so much happening with China because as Mars does turn retrograde, direct, I mean, around the 12th of January, expect some very difficult things to be happening, particularly with the U.S. then I see in China, because as Mars travels into Gemini, which will be around the 13th of March 2023, I'm seeing really difficult things happen that are very warlike. Why do I say that? Well, let me just show you a few charts. First of all, I want to put up the chart of the United States that I use. It is an amazing chart for, for prediction for what's going on in the US and looking at this chart, you're going to see that there's four planets in Gemini and with Mars moving slower than normal because of the retrograde cycle. Remember, everything's cyclic and it's a process. Nothing just happens on a day. Everything has its aftermath and cyclic process. So what I'm seeing is Mars is going to go into Gemini around March 12th to 13th and it's going to be crossing over all four planets in Gemini. In the United States, chart one right after another. This will take place between March through April and by the time we hit April, around the end of April 21, when Jupiter changes signs into Aries, there will be freedom. There will be something that happens that is going to slowly but surely change the tide to the better. And I have to say this, with Mars being in Taurus all the way till March 12, this affects the economy. The economy is going to go through a downward plunge at 4 because I'm seeing so much happening, especially in the United States States. And let me put up the chart of President Biden right below the United States chart, because here is what's so important. Whenever you're looking at what could be happening to a particular country and its people, you must always pull up the leaders chart. This sometimes reflects more what's going on in the country than it does in their own personal life. So it's vitally important to always study the leaders chart. So look, looking at President Biden's chart, well, his chart looks very, very difficult. So is this talking about his health, his life, or is it talking about the United States or both? Sometimes I think it is a little bit of both because it's affecting both he and the U.S. but here's what I see for him. He just entered into Saturn's cycle. We call it the Maha Dasha in Vedic astrology. These are huge cycles of radical Change in our lives. He just entered it at the end of September. It is a 19 year cycle. But in this respect it makes his natal Saturn much more powerful and important. It does. So in other words, planets that transit over any of the natal planets that are rulers of your Maha Dasha ruling planet, which it's Saturn for him, are going to be ten times more powerful, make a powerful impact on the person's life. Now here is my concerns that transiting Mars in its retrograde cycle around the in December when we have it slowing down all the way till January 12 where it stops and it moves direct, it is going at its slowest rate of speed. What degree is it going to be stationing at? But around 14 degrees right there in Taurus. So if you will look at President Biden's chart, his Saturn, which is his Maha Dasha ruling planet, sits in his seventh house.
Around 14 degrees. It is actually 16 degrees. So to be exact, Mars will be sitting on Saturn the end of December, the last few weeks of December, the first few weeks of January. This is where I see great danger. And as it sits on Saturn, Saturn.
Is in Taurus, in his seventh house. Now the seventh house has a variety of meanings. Most people would think of it as marriage partner. But I think of it when we're looking at mundane astrology, in other words, world related astrology. The seventh house is opponents. And so this can mean some attacks from opponents. But if I'm looking at this chart from a personal perspective of him, yes there can be some problems with relationships. But in his case too, Saturn.
Is a Marika planet. What's a Marika planet? Any planets that are ruling or in houses 7 and 2. Marika means killer and it is very difficult. So Mars is going to be pretty much activating and standing still on Saturn. And this represents some very difficult things that I will be predicting for the end of this year. The beginning of the year 2023 due to Biden's natal Saturn and Mars crossing over it at a standstill. It is stationing that makes it more abrupt and more powerful. Now Mars, as I said for the United states chart by the 12th or 13th of March will enter into Gemini and it will hit first Mars, natal Mars at 0 degrees. This is crucial because it's going to be in the seventh house of the United States chart which is what opponents and then it's going to cross over Venus, Jupiter and the Sun. The sun rules leadership and even when it crosses over Jupiter we're going to see some great difficulty. Here's the situation Mars is moving very slow. And actually it won't even change out of the sign of Gemini till the summer. That's how slow it is moving. It will be in the sign of Gemini till around next May and June. So that is really, really significant. Furthermore, when I think about where Saturn's going for the United States, looking at the United States chart, the Moon sits there at seven degrees of Aquarius. And from that vantage point, also notice in President Biden's chart, his Ketu sits at seven degrees of Aquarius. And transiting Saturn will be crossing over this degree repeatedly throughout the year of 2023. And I believe the very first hit will be around March of 2023. So this is actually what we could call sati sati for the United States. What is sarai sati? It actually means seven and a half years. But it's when Saturn comes to the natal moon in a chart. And it is very much determined as the most difficult time. So this is something that we have to pay attention to. Now. If we go back around 30 years ago, that would have been the last sign, Saturn, the time that Saturn crossed over the moon. Saturn takes around 28 to 30 years to go through all signs of the zodiac. So this is very important. Going back 30 years ago.
The economy and everything wasn't horrible, but it was difficult. And I will say that this would have been around the year of, well, 1960, let's say three. So that was critical as well. Much happened, if you can remember, in the United States. So that was 30 years ago. Now let me talk a little bit about where that Mars is again, because that Mars, I want to say this. The very last time that Mars was retrograde.
In this portion of the zodiac, in Taurus, in Gemini, was first of all, 1990 to 1991. And this is crucial because realize that this was the time of around Desert Storm. This was a time of war. So this portion of the zodiac is critical. Another thing, if we go back, we're going to find out that Mars, every time it was stationing and going retrograde, there were problems with the economy. Problems with the economy. The very Last time was 2008 when Mars was retrograding through the sign of Gemini and Taurus. And we all know what happened in 2008. That was an incredible financial crash for the stock market. So this is vitally important for us to understand. Now, another thing that's going on, I call it the effect, and this is what I'm going to talk about in my prediction class. I call it the effect of After a pandemic, you know, I went back and researched what happened after the 1918 pandemic. And it lasted 1918, 1919. And, and then we had 1920. And we all know what happened in the 20s. Well, it was the roaring 20s. It was a time when people were, it was World war, World War I finished and the pandemic finished. People are so starved to be together again after being so alienated and sick and problems that we just really want to come together regardless of what the economy is telling us. I mean, I don't know about you guys, but they keep talking about a recession, right? Every time I try to go out to dinner, I can't get a seat. You have to make reservations. It's overcrowded. And I went to Europe, it was overcrowded. People were everywhere. People are so tired of being locked up, up. And so the spending keeps happening. So I think even though they keep talking about a recession and the economy, yes, there's going to be more war, there's going to be more fighting, there's going to be more separation. Look at these charts. But all at the same time.
People want to come together. And therefore, if people are spending and going out, there's not going to be this crash, not the way people are talking about it. Yes, there's going to be problems, but people are unwilling to stop the work. And there's a need for work with people going out. It's not going to be as bad as all the other psychics and everyone are speaking about. But I will say for the first, till we get to the end of April, there is going to be mass calamity, especially also in China, because if I show you the China chart, well, here, let's put up Xi Jinping's chart in the place of where Biden's was, because I want you to see all the planets in Gemini. So looking at this, with Mars moving so slow between March through May, it's going to cross over first his sun. And I want you to see that in the United States chart, Xi Jinping's sun, zero degrees of Gemini sits right there on the US Natal Mars. And transiting Mars is going to cross over it. And during this time, I'm looking at around March through May, there's going to be major uprisings and problems with China and the US And I wouldn't even, I wouldn't even think this before, but looking at Xi Jinping's chart, he's in trouble too. So maybe his dictatorship could possibly be threatened because Mars is going to cross over his son, then his natal Mars, his Mercury, then his Uranus, before Mars enters into cancer. And when Mars enters into cancer, which will be around May, June, July.
It'S going to be debilitated. I don't think this debilitation is going to be that difficult. I'll tell you why.
Because I checked it out. When Mars is transiting through cancer, it is actually.
In the Navamsha in Scorpio for a lot of this time. But here's what I think could happen during that time. Because Mars in Vedic astrology rules real estate. There's going to be problems with real estate. And as the interest rate rates rise, people aren't moving, but people have to move. And there's going to be major issues in the real estate markets. Things are going to have to change. And if we're looking at fighting with China, and yes, Taiwan is in trouble too, we're going to be looking at all of these charts and we're going to see exactly what this next year is predicting for us. Because I know that the first five months of 2023 are going to be the worst. Now, one more little, little thing I'm going to throw at you. By the time Rahu and Ketu shift signs next November 2023, they're going to go into Pisces and Virgo. And Ketu going in the sign of Virgo will have more, even more to do with the possibility of another pandemic. Ketu and Mars are going to come together in the sign of Virgo around November. Yes, November of 2023. We're looking at now that I think all of these world leaders are looking at. Well, you know, should we bomb a country or just drop a virus? What is more effective in destroying a country? I think they know now from the results of what's been going on. Think about the 1918 pandemic as well as what just happened to us in 2020-2022. It's been catastrophic. We have lost over a million people in the United States and I don't even know how many worldwide. It was catastrophic. And I think now we're looking at a world where people, if they are not conscious and aware, they are not going to shy away from using.
Chemical warfare viruses to get what they want. The problem is it backfires and comes to their country. That's the only thing. And it can threaten their own life. But when we're talking about these kind of things.
We'Re not talking about the most evolved leaders in the world and people.
