Hi, I'm Joni Patry, and welcome to my YouTube channel. Well, today I want to talk about Mars and its time that it's going to be spending not only in Cancer but in Leo as well, because in January— it's going to be around January 9th— Mars is going to go retrograde. So essentially, seriously, starting September 18th through November 12th, it will be in Cancer, and then it will go into Leo. But then it will retrograde on January 9th and return back into Cancer by March 9th through April 26th. So let's talk a little bit about what Mars is all about and how important Mars is, because we always love to talk about Jupiter in terms of Jupiter's Expansion opportunities, brings wealth. Saturn is serious, gives us the discipline, the focus. It's karma. But Mars, did you know, is the trigger for events? It makes things happen. Mars is energy. Mars is red. It rules blood. It gives us the life force. And Mars, did you know, is the planet of courage? So it is courage, it is energy, it rules Sports. It rules competition. It deals with willpower, and we can't get anything done unless we have willpower, and that equates to a strong Mars in a chart. But on the negative side, Mars deals with anger, conflict, weapons, war, anything that can deal with attacks, and it also rules accidents. It is this fiery planet, but when you put it in certain signs, it doesn't operate very well at all. And let me tell you, Mars does not operate well in Cancer. And that's why I wanted to do this video on the length of time that it's in Cancer back and forth and what this can mean globally for our world, because Mars is the big trigger of events. And we have so Conflict, polarity, anger, frustration going on. That's all Mars. So Mars, once again, as I said before, will go into Cancer September 18th, and it will be in the sign of Cancer from September 18th to November 12th, only to return again next Springtime, March 9th through April 26th. So, but what's really interesting is it's going to be lining up with different planets. That makes it totally different. So Mars rules anger, hostility, and Cancer is a sign of family. So I find that when Mars is in Cancer in a birth chart, many times people have dysfunctional families. They do. And many times there's breakups of the parents, not always, but it isn't good for family life, Mars in Cancer. It's debilitated. So Mars is lining up and transiting alongside of Jupiter. Throughout this time that it is in Cancer. And guess what? Even interestingly enough, when Mars goes into Leo around November 12th, Jupiter will be in Leo. So Jupiter and Mars are kind of like traveling together in Cancer, then in Leo together. And Mars is a trigger, it's empowering, it's energy. It's going to energize wherever Jupiter is in the sign that it's all about. Jupiter in Cancer should bring families and people together. And really, I know you'll agree with me on this, the family is the structure, the focus of any society. If there's broken families, societies do Do not work, period. It is a fact. So Mars and Jupiter are kind of aligning together in Cancer. And yes, an exalted planet, usually Jupiter exalted in Cancer, usually uplifts the debilitated planet. But I kind of feel like they're going to be fighting for the energy, both of them. Disruption, change. Therefore, that's why I think there's so much polarity people pulling things apart, people that are trying to pull things together and it's being pulled apart. This is what's going on with the Mars-Jupiter in Cancer. And don't forget, Cancer is the sign of protection, the need for protection too. And another thing is, while this Mars is in Cancer, in the chart that I use for the United States, both Jupiter and Mars are transiting in the 8th house of this chart, digging up all the old secrets about government problems. It's deep, dark, and dirty because that's what the 8th house is all about— the secrets that they keep, the corruption. Mars-Jupiter the whole time, September 18th through November 12th, is digging that up. And whatever it starts to present at this time, which is going to be unbelievable Will come back and be processed again when Mars returns to Cancer. Because when it returns to Cancer, and this again will be March 9th through April 26th of 2027, guess what? It will be with Ketu, and Ketu is the planet of loss. And separation. When you put both Mars and Ketu together, it is vile, and it is actually the determinants of terrorism. It is. I know that they come together quite often, about every 2 years, but there's something about this retrograde that makes it different. Mars retrograde, it's closer to the Earth, it's more intense, it makes it more powerful. So I know that this is— something's about to blow in November, and I think it's going to be the first week of November. And I'll tell you why. Mars will hit 25 degrees of Cancer, which means it crosses over the previous eclipse degree, which was 25 degrees of Cancer. August 12th. This is a trigger. I always say Mars, when it crosses over a previous eclipse degree, is like a landmine exploding, and it is. This is November 3rd. What's going on November 3rd in the United States? There is the voting, the midterms. And it's supposedly a huge big deal because if one party overturns the other, they're going to take over like crazy. Okay, so this is vitally important. So September 18th through the 24th of September, very short. Mars will be in the nakshatra Punarvasu, and it's just a few days, not even a week. Punarvasu is return of the light, so there's a little hope here. But then September 24th through October 17th, Mars will be in the nakshatra Pushya, and Pushya is said to be one of the best nakshatras because Its symbol is the udder of a cow, giving nourishment, giving food, giving protection. But I know Cancer is the sign that requires and wants security more than any other sign. It is in many cases insecurity. Cancer is insecure. That sign, I'm telling you, has a lot of issues to work out because they feel the need, they want to find protection and security. That's Cancer. So this is a time that we need it. We need to be finding security and protection between September 24th through October 17th. But October 17th through November 12th The most crucial, critical time of all. Mars will be in the nakshatra Ashlesha, which symbol is a snake. And yes, it's exactly what it means— some sneaky, underhanded events that will cause great destruction and problems. This is a serious time to prepare yourselves for. And then not only that, what is being dredged up and pulled up and really processed in the month of November? Because once Mars goes into Leo, then it's going to be aligning with Ketu. Remember, Ketu Mars is terrorism, and that will be Basically, it's going to only be a short time that Mars is going to be with Ketu in Leo. Why? Because by the 25th of November, Rahu and Ketu shift signs. So we're going to have Mars and Jupiter and Ketu aligning around 1-2 degrees of Leo. From around November 12th through the 25th. That is the crucial— that is going to be a time that crises will happen with world leaders, with events, with war. And most of all, this is in the nakshatra Magha that deals with leaders, so you're going to see major leaders change out in that window of time of November 12th through November 25th. Then you're going to have Ketu in Cancer and Rahu in Capricorn. And then by the time of March through April Mars is going to collide with Ketu again with Jupiter, but this time in Cancer. And I think Mars debilitated in Cancer is far worse. And Jupiter will have retrograded back into Cancer. So I think sometimes Jupiter makes things bigger. And here's the other issue at hand— Mars being retrograde. Mars is more potent and more dangerous when it turns retrograde January 9th, 2027. It will be 16 degrees of Leo. This is a powerful placement dealing with leadership, kings. That's Leo. So we're going to see a huge revolution of change in the area of leadership, dealing with war attacks. Mars is being activated, and when it's in Cancer, that will be the most difficult time, I believe, of all. And just remember, whatever happens in November, whatever's uncovered, which I think there's going to be some really nasty stuff uncovered, they will have to pay retribution by the time Mars returns with Ketu in March and April. So whatever occurred in November, there will be payment by, by those that are accused. And I think there will be justice in a sense by March and April. And then there's a big cleaning house. And then by July I think we'll finally be looking at some peace of 2027. So I thought I might give you the lowdown of Mars going into Cancer, what this can mean for all of us, and the fact that it's not only going to be in Cancer in September till mid-November, it's going back in March and April. So get ready, you're going to see how the planets unfold. This divine plan. It's not going to be fun or easy, but I think it has to happen. So that concludes my Mars transit during this time in the sign of Cancer. So if you want to find out how Mars in Cancer is affecting you personally, you're going to want to get my Planner.
