March Predictions 2017: Chaos to Acceptance, Our Ultimate Healing

Hi, I'm Joni Petrie and welcome to my YouTube channel. Today I'd like to talk about the month of March, what we can expect from the predictions of the planets. One thing that I'm really big with is always looking at eclipses. And you see we just had a major solar eclipse on February 26th. And when we have eclipses, they're remnants of what they cause exist for a long, long time. Actually, they influence the entire year. But for about two weeks before and two weeks after eclipses, they really cause havoc and chaos in the world. So many times you're going to see even earthquakes and just people being irrational. And dangerous things really do occur around the time of eclipses because what happens is the light of the sun or the light of the moon, whether it's a solar or lunar eclipse, is obliterated. And what that means is in the darkness, some secrets and some truths come out. So you're going to see a lot of truth that's being revealed, but many people just simply cannot deal with it or won't believe it, even though the facts are out there. But let's talk about how this eclipse is affecting the United States. Because when I look at where this eclipse is falling in the United States chart, or which I use, July 4, 1776, around 6:30pm in Washington, D.C. you're going to find that the moon is around 7 or 8 degrees of Aquarius in this chart. And there is where transiting Ketu is during this time of the eclipse. And what this means is the moon in the third house of this chart. Well, the third house is all about communication skills. It's about how we relate. It deals with anything that connects people, such as the Internet, such as social media, such as news, television, radio, anything that gets information across the world. And as you can see, the media is mess right now. Some say you know, it's fake news, some say it's not. And even on YouTube you see so many things that are untruths. So we have to be very discerning. But during this time with Ketu on the moon, it represents there's some type of loss going on because Ketu is where something's missing, where there's a loss. And so there's something to say about that. The media is definitely going through a transitional change. Now, the moon in this chart rules the eighth house of endings and change, major change. And Ketu means this whole thing is going to be reinvented. How we communicate with one another through all these means of the media. So a lot of things are being projected. And a lot of things are so connected, confusing. But there is this deep sense that something isn't right, that there is loss going on. And the third house does also deal with transportation and travel. So there could be some event concerning travel that has things in an uproar or confused, and maybe even an event concerning a loss with some kind of trains, airplanes, or things of this nature. Watch how this transpires during this time.

Now, after I was really contemplating how everyone is behaving and how people are so angry and distraught still over this political election. Things are still in an uproar. It made me think about some ways of healing. Because really, when we consider this moon in the United States chart being in the sign of Aquarius, Aquarius does have specific meanings around healing, healing of humanity. And so what I thought about is all these stages. And sometimes when anyone goes through a major, major crisis in their life, it is very reminiscent of something that I used to consider.

It's Elisabeth Kubler Ross's Five Stages of Dying and Death. But this can be applied to any big event in your life that causes radical change. And you see, the world has been going through so much change right now that I felt like these stages were very much reminiscent of this whole pattern and what the world is going through, or at least what the United States is going through with this most recent political event.

And really, it's going on all over the world. I've checked in with people from Germany, from France, from Turkey. Everywhere people are going through something similar. It's not just here in the United States. And this is a time when people are so uncertain. So they're going through these five stages that are reminiscent to Elizabeth Kubler Ross's Five Steps of Death and Dying. So this whole event, consider this. Here are the five stages. And I think that we're probably, for the most part, the people that are still, you know, in the media, in the news that can't accept.

This new precedent, that they're still. That they're going through these stages. Let me describe these stages. The first one is denial. So when someone finds out that they have a terminal disease, the first thing they do is they say, not me. No, this can't be happening. This is not reality. So the first reaction is simply denial. And look across the board when we're talking about the emotional upheaval that's going on in the world right now. First there's denial. The second stage is anger. So what do we do when we come to terms like, you have this terminal disease and you're facing your mortality, then you get angry. Why me? Why does this happen to me? And it's just. It's so upsetting that people get really angry. And you can see that this was the result of what happened during the time when right after the disbelief, of the denial, then the anger sets in. But the next stage, the third stage, is called the bargaining stage. And it's like when you find out you've got a terminal illness or you know what, this can be applied also to divorce or any major issue where you go through these emotional. This emotional pattern, the bargaining is, oh, I will change my diet, I will change my life. If I am given one more or a few more years, just you start to bargain with, God help me, I can change, I'll do anything. But the fourth stage is depression. And I kind of get a sense that right now that is the stage that we're in. There's the depression, there's the sadness. It's like, yes, we've gone through all the other stages, but. But we feel depressed about the result. But there's many times that there can be jumping back and forth from the depression to the anger to the bargaining. It doesn't always follow in this pattern, but the end result is always the end result. And the end result after the depression, where you start to give, where you start to give up and you come out of it, it's acceptance. And acceptance is the key to healing of any kind, any kind in the world. Because when you come to the point of acceptance, you realize, well, maybe I don't have as much time left, so let me make the best of it, because this is the reality.

I love the fact that acceptance, in a way, is very reminiscent of the emotion of forgiveness. Because forgiveness is when you come to this point where it's not. It doesn't bother you like it did before. It doesn't push all those anger buttons and all this hostility. And this is what our world needs to come to right now. Otherwise these eclipses and patterns that are shaking things up are going to destroy us and the world. And you don't want that.

So when I think about Vedic astrology, I always think about moksha. Moksha is spiritual liberation from this world. And ultimately that does kind of equate to acceptance. Because when I think about this, I think that everyone has to come to a point where they accept things. You see, the moksha houses in astrology are 4, 8 and 12. These are the houses that are relative to the water signs in astrology. The fourth sign Cancer, the eighth sign, Scorpio. The twelfth sign, Pisces. Therefore, these are the houses that give us spiritual liberation from this world. And they deal with water signs which deal with emotion, which deal with our feelings. And when we can heal the emotional body, that's when we are free. That's when we have the spiritual liberation from this world. But as long as we stay connected to the past and the hurts, the resentments.

The attachments to the past, when we never heal and we never will experience moksha, which is liberation. So this is so important, because where I'm going with this is we all have to come to this, regardless of this political nonsense going on. We all have to come to this state throughout the many stages in our lives where we have to detach from the past, because the past, when we live in the past, we're stuck. And we will never ever achieve the goals that we want. So letting go of the past, letting go of the resentments are what are going to heal our life and heal everyone around us, our life and bring us to a point of freedom where you're not upset and angry and hurt. So we must get rid of our expectations for others because we cannot change other people. And we have to come to a point where we accept things for the way they are and work with it so that we can make the best of what's happening. And always remember that all of this deals with letting go of feelings that make us stuck. So what I want to say is many times disease can occur due to blockages in the body that are due to emotional hurts that we're attached to and can't let go of. This destroys a body. But going on to the political thing of what's happening right now, people are over the top.

Emotional about this. And what I want to inspire people to do is to understand that this is all in the laws of karma and nature.

Nature is the force that brings balance to this world. And if you'll just look back with me for a moment of the political patterns when we had Bill Clinton as president, this is when the liberal side expanded and grew and this was a part of the government of the U.S. but after that, George W. Bush came in, so it went back to the conservative ways. And after eight years of that, people were ready for the liberal ways again. So then we had eight years of Obama. So now it only goes to show that in the pendulum of balance, it's time to swing back. All over the world, people are reverting more to conservative ways because the pendulum of balance was way out on the other side now it swings back. And that's simply the law of balance, bringing things into balance. And you have to accept the way this law of nature to bring balance is occurring and it's happening. So I also want you to know that this eclipse that has just occurred has brought all of these emotions and things to the surface. It's a crisis point. And we all have to come to understand how human behavior evolves and how we must accept these things. So I want to talk about this month in terms of. Uranus is at the very last degree of Pisces. The very last, not only the last degree of a water sign, which is Gandanta, which liter means drowning. It also deals with specifically the last degree of the zodiac. So endings of a major source and big, big revolutionary change with the emotions with water. There will be floods during this month, there will be extreme weather, there will be all sorts of changes with the earth that will deal with flooding. Because this is what Gandant is about. And Pisces are the oceans, the seas. This is an extreme scenario and situation. Another thing I want to talk about as Uranus is right there at 29 degrees of Pisces. We have Jupiter that's been in the last degrees of Virgo. They've been in opposition and throughout this time the stock market has been going off the charts, record highs. Why? Well, I figured it out. I was looking at the chart from the New York, New York Stock Exchange when it first began. The moon in that chart is at 28 degrees of Pisces where Uranus has been stationing, opposed where Jupiter was stationing, stationing at 29 Virgo which made the stops go sky high. Will it stay there? Probably not. This is probably the highest will revert again in the fall to a high when Jupiter crosses over that 28 degree mark again in Virgo. But I also see that there's major events with healings, with disease and the way that medical, you know, with insurances will all shift and change this year due to this opposition. Because remember, Jupiter is in the sign of Virgo, which deals with, with healing, with health and all aspects of this, whether it deals with the doctors, whether it deals with the insurance companies and disease. All of this is coming to a head and there's major change for the positive. Why? Because Jupiter has been cycling through on the fixed star that deals with major positive change. Spica. 29 degrees of Virgo, 0 degrees of Libra. And always remember I am talking about the sidereal zodiac. I'm not talking western astrology.

So this is the sidereal zodiac used in Vedic astrology.

Another thing that we have going on this month of March is Venus is retrograde. And Venus will be retrograde around March 3 through April 15. It is in the sign of Pisces, which is this exaltation sign, which is fabulous. But when a planet goes retrograde and it's exalted, it begins to act like a debilitated planet. So in that window of time around March 3rd through April 15th, you're going to see things drop probably somewhat in the stock market because Venus does deal with luxuries and beauty. But I suspect that stock market is going to be up and down, up and down throughout this year. But watch, watch where things will change. Another thing is that Venus deals with relationships and love and romance. Therefore, for many of you, you're going to find that possibility of an old love will re emerge. And even if they don't in the physical, you will be reminiscing about old loves, experiences, good memories from the past, dealing with romance with people that you had an affinity or love or relationship with before. This is a time when Venus, the aspects of it go backwards. So you start looking at the past and hopefully this can bring a healing and maybe even a new romance. But generally when you get into a romance, when Venus is retrograde, it doesn't usually last, but it can all depends on your personal chart. So another thing that's happening this month is Mars will be in Aries and it is conjunct Mercury. So this creates more arguments, more fighting, more contention, more anger. So it's not a good time to get into an argument because things will not end in a good place. And generally you can see a lot of losses around friendships and people and confusion because of so much anger, because Mercury is the form is communication. Mars can deal with arguments. So watch that. And additionally I noticed that Mercury for this month is really placed poorly because it not only is aspected by, it's not only aspected by Mars, it's aspected by Rahu. And this can make for Mercury is afflicted. So it deals with all forms of communication, signing contracts, agreements. Be careful and be aware because the outcome could be very difficult in these areas.

So people are going to be more aggressive and there's going to be more anger and there's going to be more fighting. And I noticed there could be some attacks in the United States based on the placement, dealing with enemies. Mars can deal with enemies and attacks. So things need to be put in perspective and in control.

I want you to be aware that the sign Aquarius as well as the sign of Aries, has some difficulty in terms of malefic planets aspecting these signs. So if you have major planets in Aries or Aquarius, this can be a frustrating month where you feel like you're arguing and fighting and never moving forward with these kind of kind of planets. Or either you could have a deep sense of loss and possible depression. Remember that it's temporary and it will end. And do try to find a healing. Try to find a sense of acceptance, of healing within your own life. Because remember, these planets definitely spur on what's happening out there in the world. But ultimately, ultimately it's all fabulous information for you to look more within yourself to see what needs to be changed and healed. And what you're going to find. You must come to through all of these emotional events in our lives that when you come to the point of acceptance, then you're healed, then things in your life will only improve, get better and ultimately bring you to yourself sense of peace and happiness. And that is what we want for the world. So with that I'd like to close. If you'd like more information, you can always go to my website, which is Galactic Center.org or if you would like to study Vedic astrology with me, you can always go to my university, which is universityofvedicastrology.com thank you.
