Hi, I'm Joni Petrie and welcome to my YouTube channel. Well, today I want to talk about Mercury because Mercury's about to go retrograde. Seems like it's always retrograde, but yes, it's going to be going retrograde to make things crazier in all of this chaos. So Mercury Turns retrograde on November 25th and it's going to be retrograde at the degree of 28 degrees of Scorpio.
And I find this so interesting that Mercury is going to spend a lot of time in the sign of Scorpio, which we all know. Scorpio is the most intense, passionate sign of the zodiac, right?

Mercury turns retrograde November 25th at 28 degrees of Scorpio. So we know that this is a pivotal time because the elections are with Mercury going retrograde like this. They're not final. Things are going back and forth because Mercury rules communications, Mercury rules information, and it's going back and forth, right? So this is like we may not know what the results are and there is chaos going on. So here's what's interesting for from October 29 through January 4, we have Mercury in the sign of Scorpio. Now Mercury usually stays in a sign for less than a month, but right now it's going back and forth in the sign of Scorpio during this time. So once it turns retrograde, it will not turn direct.
Till December 16. So it is from November 25 through December 16 that it is retrograde. And when it turns direct on December 16, it will be at 12 degrees of Scorpio. So one thing is that degree of 28 degrees of Scorpio being Gandanta, when it turns retrograde, Gandanta means out of control. It actually means a knot, which means things can't continue on correctly. And we're talking about water signs. Scorpio, the most intense and passionate. One of the deeply emotional signs. We're dealing with deep, powerful emotion. And when it turns retrograde at this 28 degree of Scorpio, it's in the Nakshatra called Jaista.
And Jaista is one of the most powerful Nakshatras it deals with. They equate Jesta to black magic because it deals with this manipulation and control on a deep core level. But I always say black magic when used positively, simply magic. And black magic is traditionally said to use magic to harm people. No, I don't want to. You know, we're never to inflict any problems onto other people in any way. So if you use the energy of Jaista, it can be used for manifestation. Because when you use the power of the Scorpio energy for passion and intensity and put towards passion and intensity towards good and manifesting something positive in your life, it will create. That's how I see Jaista in the positive light. Jaista means the eldest one too. So it deals with the old wise woman.
And the eldest, which comes from a place of deep wisdom.
So Jaista is intense and another variable that Scorpio all by itself does represent and mean. And especially Jasta, it deals with jealousy. As a matter of fact, in the story of the Nakshatras, when the moon was traveling from a Nakshatra through all of the 27 Nakshatras, it happened to stay a little longer in the Nakshatra called Rohini, because Rohini is very sensual and beautiful. But the eldest sister of the 27 nakshatras, which was Jaista, had a real issue about that and told the gods about this. I'm not going to go into all the story, but. But to make a long story short, jsta is associated with jealousy because of this. And this is a time of great jealousy. Jealousy is such a negative emotion.
Because it causes great harm and destruction to people.
People that are jealous usually can't even admit they're jealous too. I think I'm not jealous when they really are. But here's the whole thing. This jealousy is brewing across the world. And this is a negative, dark emotion.
That'S going to cause great destruction. Mercury being here is bringing it all up. Remember, whenever a planet goes retrograde, it brings up things from the past.
Mercury deals with the past. I mean, Mercury deals with the conscious, thinking, mind, communications. All this stuff is re emerging from the past.
And traditionally, I believe things coming back from the past should be viewed and looked at for a healing.
And with this powerful sign of Scorpio, you better believe this stuff. Revenge is another thing that Scorpio deals with. Why do you think it's a scorpion with a stinger?
And I'll say this too. Where Mercury is, is in the tail of the scorpion, the constellation. The end of Scorpio is the tail of the scorpion. Scorpion, which deals with what? The stinger.
Wow. Do we ever have a lot going on here? Jealousy, revenge, Scorpio's intense passion, water signs, emotions. Look at this. Mercury retrogrades, bringing up everything from the past. It deals with these heavy duty, extreme emotions, emotions.
You'll see.
Everything happens when it's supposed to, when and for a reason. Scorpio brings everything to light.
From the past. And people feel, well, this is going to be the time of.
Like I keep saying, Donald Trump's going to get in, but I keep thinking there's going to be some kind of backlash where it's taken away, given, taken away, whatever. There's going to be so much going back and forth, we're probably not going to even know by the time you see this video. I'm doing this video actually before the elections.
But. But by the time of the elections, it's going to go back and forth. We're probably not going to know.
Nobody's going to go down without a fight. Big fight too. Let me just say that lots of retributions and things will go back and forth.
It's not going to be a time of surrender or peace. No one is giving up at this point. I mean, really, this is the craziest time ever. And you know what I say as above, so below, what does that actually mean? What's going out there in the world of everything and everyone is actually occurring within us as well. And as our lives deal with passion, intensity, emotion.
Jealousy.
Revenge, all these things are kind of brewing within everyone and it's being reflected out there and out there. It's being reflected within. Disassociate with this negative energy. Find this Mercury retrograde a time for healing. Then again, what Mercury retrograde is about the thinking mind. I just think it's so profound that it's in the sign of Scorpio this whole time. Now, a good thing I see during this time period is that right before Mercury goes retrograde, Jupiter and Mercury will oppose. And I have noticed they're going to both be at 24 degrees. Jupiter at 24 Taurus, Mercury at 24 Scorpio. And they align with the charts of Trump and J.D. vance in the United States. So I thought this could be something where.
It could be decided upon the presidency. But it's not going to be taken. It's going to go out with a lot of backlash.
Mercury goes retrograde and tries to reverse everything. Because what is a retrograde planet? A reversal, it's going backwards. So things are going backwards to re associate and see what's going on. And Mercury will oppose Jupiter again.
By December 26. Now, Mercury will be of course forward motion direct at this time, but it will oppose Jupiter. Mercury will be 19 degrees of Scorpio and Jupiter 19 Taurus. So there could be some healing come about from whatever happened during the first time. November 18, December 26, something else comes about you, you'll see.
It'S just going to be.
Mentally and with communications completely totally confused. And meanwhile people are rioting and having issues with things. It's not going to be an easy time.
And then I'm looking at December 7th, when Mars turns retrograde. Remember this, these retrograde planets are so important in prediction because when they turn retrograde or direct, they make a huge impact in the world. And what that planet represents, Mercury's communications. And Mercury is thinking, it deals with the intellect, the mind and communications. Therefore all of this is going to be going backwards and in great confusion with all of that. So.
It'Ll work its way out, it always does. But this is a time to rehash.
Re, evaluate and review. And that goes for everything in your own individual life, as well as what's going on globally in the world. So with that, I think I'll close.
