Mars' Cycle: Pisces - Aries, Retrograde DANGER!

Astrologer Joni Patry forecasts turbulent global effects from Mars transiting Pisces and Aries through late 2020. Mars squares a June 21 solar eclipse, conjuncts the Rahu-Ketu midpoint on June 26 (flagged as particularly dangerous for flooding and earthquakes), and retrogrades from September through November. The transit threatens the US chart and President Trump's 8th house.

Hi, I'm Joni Petrie and welcome to my YouTube channel. Well, now I want to talk about Mars, because the cycle of Mars really does dictate the energetics and what's happening globally in the world and especially the signs that it's in that is so telling in terms of what will be happening in the world. So let me start with when Mars goes into Pisces. This will be a huge turning point because when Mars goes into Pisces, it's going to start to Scorpio Square, where the eclipse is happening June 21, and Mars will go into Pisces June 18. So this is really important that Mars is going into that hard aspect to square that eclipse degree that happens June 21st. That's what's making this solar eclipse in June so intense, so powerful because of the Mars aspect. So Mars will be in Pisces from June 18 to June 16. And not only is the aspect to the eclipse incredibly strong and powerful, but there's something about whatever sign that Mars is transiting in, it activates that planet that rules that sign. And it's almost like the dispositing sign of Mars gives us the reason why everything is happening. So when Mars is in Pisces, Pisces is ruled by Jupiter. That means wherever Jupiter is transiting will become far more important and will be the telling signs of what everything is about and why everything is evolving. And I think it's so significant that by June 29th and 30th, Jupiter is going to retrograde with Pluto. Exactly. They will conjunct on those days at 29 degrees of Sagittarius. So Jupiter becomes more powerful being in this sign because it rules Sagittarius. It's about truth, it's about fundamentalism, it's about spirituality, and it is about fanatics. People that believe so strongly about something will take action. So this could even be the result of terrorism. So Mars, while it's in Pisces, it's starting to slow down because it's getting ready to go retrograde. But while it's in Pisces, it's going to be activating Jupiter. And Jupiter will be in the sign of Sagittarius from June 30 through November 20. This is all, of course 2020. And during this five month period.
We'Re going to see more acts of terrorism, more violence, because Mars is bringing up that Jupiterian essence while it is in Pisces. And Jupiter's placement is vitally important, being exactly conjunct Pluto, now Mars, because it's slowing down. It's going to be in Pisces from June 18th to August 16th. And then it's going to turn retrograde on September 9th at 4 degrees of Aries. So you see, Mars is going to venture into the sign of Aries, which can even intensify things all the more.
And Mars is coming close to Uranus. So many explosive events are starting to stir up and action is starting to take. But Mars won't stay long in Aries. It's going to retrograde back into Pisces and that will be October 4th. So Mars will be in Aries from August 16th through October 4th. That will really intensify the energy. But I don't think there's anything quite as intense as Mars being in Pisces squaring the eclipse degree. You see, when Mars first goes into Pisces, that degree, zero degrees of Pisces will exactly square Mars in the United States chart that I use. So it's bringing up some kind of violence, some kind of war. Maybe it's just a civil war around all of this political fight for who's the president in the United States States. Regardless, this is an intense time. And once we have Mars come to the point where it is going to be exactly at the midpoint between Rahu and Ketu. This is actually called the bends. Whenever you have a planet at the midpoint of Rahu and Ketu. So it's squaring both nodes. This is June 26th. Now June 26th, watch out around that day a few days before and after. But that's the day it's exact. This will be very, very difficult. Some things are going to happen that we probably can't foresee. But let me just say it will involve violence because Mars is a trigger. Let me tell you why I make this assessment. It's not just that Mars is, well, huge at Mars is at the midpoint of Rahu and Ketu, but it's at 4 degrees of Pisces. And that is conjunct the fixed star called Sheet. And this is said to be. Well, they do say that Agul is worse. But I think reading about Sheet, it deals with drowning. So therefore in Pisces, the water sign, there can be floods, there can be tsunamis, there can be extreme severe weather. And Mars, whenever it squares the nodes also makes us more prone to earthquakes. So everything is shaking and burning.
Because of this aspect and what's going on, the turbulence in the world. There is so much turbulence that's being brought up. Mars squaring the Eclipse point, Mars being conjunct sheet which deals it is probably one of the worst stars because it deals with sorrow and sadness, drowning, murder, violence. This is not a fixed star that you want to be hanging around. So it happens to fall sidereally at 4 degrees of Pisces. And this is that pivotal point between the nodes. And not only that, it squares the eclipse degree at 4 degrees of Gemini. And to add turbulence to this whole time, we have Mercury there going retrograde. This is going to be a difficult, difficult time. We have to be mentally and spiritually prepared and not be sucked into all the negativity that will be rampant in the world at this time. And furthermore, consider the fact that Mars, while it's in Pisces, and once Jupiter shifts into, well, Jupiter at the very start will be 0 degrees.
Of Capricorn. So Mars being in Pisces around June 18th.
Till Jupiter shifts on the 29th 30th of June, Jupiter's in Capricorn. So the dispositing planet Jupiter in Capricorn represents the mess the government's in around the world. But then when Jupiter gets back into Sagittarius starting the 29th 30th of June, that's going to be where the anger and the righteousness and the truth finding is going to evolve. But the anger that exudes from the reality of what's going on, fanatical behavior will be the norm. So another thing is.
I also noticed that when Mars is here in Pisces, it will be also affecting.
The President of China, Xi Jinping's. All of his natal planets that are in his 12th house, which he has Mars, Uranus, sun.
And these planets, sun and Mars, are hidden in his 12th house. And the transit of Mars will be aspecting it with the eclipse falling on all of his planets there. China's in trouble too. And there are some secrets because the 12th house are things from the past will be revealed.
This is going to cause great chaos in the world as we have China very upset and maybe striking out at the rest of the world. But something is bound to happen. So once again, remember this, that Mars will be in Pisces from June 18 to August 16. But then it will return.
Because remember, it's going to go retrograde into the Aries. Then it's going to return which is back into Pisces from October 4th to December 24th. This is very important because while Mars is in Pisces, here's another thing to concern yourself with. It will be in the fourth house of the chart for The United States, which can mean a tax on the land, on the homeland. There's stuff going on, whether it be economic attacks, physical attacks, violent attacks, something to do with war.
But here's another variable to consider, that each time that Mars goes into Pisces, both in June and August, then again October and December, it will be in the 8th House of President Trump's chart. Now, this is the most difficult house of all and does deal with endings, does deal with turbulence. It could just mean the mess that Trump's got to deal with with the economy.
And I must say this, the eighth house is a very dangerous house. So something has come up. He is dealing with something intense during this time. You may think, well, maybe he won't be re elected and that's what he's dealing with. But I think it's something more than that.
There may not even be the elections as we know it. Something is going to revert and change and it's all happening due to the cycle of where Mars is. In his eighth house, he must watch his health and his safety. The eighth house is dangerous and it's difficult. So this reflects what's going on in the country.
That's what we have to remember when we are as astrologers looking at leaders charts, not our political feelings or emotions. How does this reflect what's going on in the world?
That's what's most important as an astrologer, to help give guidance to people. So as Mars transits realize, another thing is it will go retrograde. Remember, it will go retrograde on September 9th at 4 Aries and direct November 14th at 21 degrees of Pisces at this stationing point, November 14th. That is almost exactly opposing the sun in the United States. Chart of America now, excuse me, it's squaring the sun, not opposing, it's squaring the sun. The sun in the United states chart is 22 degrees of Gemini. So as Mars stations, it's squaring the sun, but it's also opposing Saturn, which is in the 10th House of the United States of America at 24 degrees of Virgo. So Mars opposes Saturn in the chart and it squares the Sun. In this chart. The sun represents the leader, the president. Saturn in the 10th house. There's something huge happening to the United States and the government. This is.
This is different than, I think, just a political election. I want you to consider the transit of Mars in terms of how we can see the future and what's evolving by also looking at its placement in the charts for the United States, the President.
These aspects conjunct fixed stars and eclipses. There's so much happening. So with that, I think that's enough for today. I'll close.
