Hi, I'm Joni Petrie and welcome to my YouTube channel. Well, today, now I'm going to be talking about the third week in July.
You guys have been hearing me talk about this week forever, actually the last two weeks. But this is where I think it's going to get really, really intense. So what I'm doing as I'm looking at the chart or where the planets are in the sky every day relative to where the moon is. This is how we can really track what the people, the masses of people, the public are thinking and feeling. Therefore, it really does help us predict event in the world. So with this, I am looking at July 15th. This is a Tuesday. Tuesdays are really intense. They're ruled by Mars. A lot of intense things happen on Tuesdays because of that. As a matter of fact, September 11th was a Tuesday. I always think about that. Now Mars is within 3 degrees of K2. So this is the week. It's getting intense. And right now, look out, things are heating up, people are angry, things are getting crazy. Now the moon today is in Aquarius all the way till. And remember, I'm talking about central.
Central Daylight time, Central time zone. We're on daylight savings time. The moon will be in aquarius till about 2pm Central Time Zone. So adjust your clock, adjust your time to when it's 2pm Central Time, whatever time it is for you is what time this is happening. So the moon changes signs into Pisces and the moon from Aquarius to Pisces is intense. Aquarius. It was, let me just say the whole day though it will be in the Nakshatra. Purva Bhadrapada and Purva Badrapada is the Nakshatra that can deal with the man with two faces or the visionary that sees the future. What is it? Probably a little bit of both. That's what I'll say. So be careful the people you come in contact with now with this moon being here.
It'S approaching the Saturn Neptune. So be aware that this is a day that the truth can become unveiled. People can really start. Well, it's heavy though. It's not like, oh good, people are seeing the truth. Oh no, people are seeing the truth is more like what it's about. And it's not easy. People are waking up and it's difficult. Purva Bhadrapadak can mean a deception as well. And Neptune's deception, a lot of deception. So another thing is that Jupiter sun are in the fourth house from the moon. This is actually good for real estate. Getting some deals with real estate if that's your interest. Now Venus is in the third house from the moon and this is good. Well it's good for coming together with communications. I'm not going to say it's good for travel because even though Venus is a benefic, everything else is saying stay low, don't be doing, don't be going to crowded places. I'm going to say this whole week please lay low and just take care of yourself, you'll be fine. It's just don't be doing things risky, especially with Mars K2 coming together. It's just everything is heating up in the world. There's craziness, people are being completely irrational. But during the time the moon's coming together with Saturn people are depressed, there's a heaviness going on and the Mars Ketu are in the six house house from the moon which can actually mean accidents. And yeah, it's not a good time health wise. It's like take care of yourself, don't be impulsive. Impulsive or impatient during this time. That's what I'll say. Now let's go to Wednesday July 16th.
And on this day the moon is still in Pisces the whole day and it's going to go into the Nakshatra called Uttara Bhadrapada. Uttara Bhadrapada and I should have mentioned that the first part of this Nakshatra which is Purva Bhadrapada which is where the moon was yesterday. Yes, let me see. Yes, it was in Purva Bhadrapada you yesterday and I mentioned that it is a man with two faces. But now it's a Nutara Bhadrapada which Purva is the front end of a funeral cot which is, you know, when you're carrying the coffin in other words. And Uttarabhadrapada is said to be the back end of the funeral cot. So this deals with death, both of these. So I don't like the moon being here in Pisces and Mars Ketu being in the sixth house from the moon representing accidents and those type of problems. So please be aware that things are heating up intensely around the world. Even though Jupiter is all by itself.
Gemini which is actually a good, good day for real estate and with Venus actually being in Taurus in the third, it's a good day for you to be creative, write, express yourself. It's wonderful for that. So stay home, stay away from crowds and be more creative. You could spend time with, with your brothers or sisters or communicate with them. This is the third house. But it's intense. I don't like like this at all. And yes, things are just not calm. Okay, so let's go to.
July 17th.
And.
July 17th.
We are looking at the moon being in the last degree of Pisces. This is a Thursday by the way. And while it's in Pisces, the last degrees it will be there, let's see.
Till, yes, till 6pm Central Time. Then the moon will move into Aries. Adjust your time. If it's six o' clock Central time where I am in Dallas, then.
When the moon changes signs it will be.
7 o' clock in Eastern Time. And if you're in California, it'll be two hours earlier. Okay, so what is that? Six o', clock, five o', clock, four o'? Clock. Okay, so adjust. Know that that's the time, your time. Because it's the same time all around the world when these things happen. Just it's different times on your clock. All right, so looking at this, the moon goes into Aries, but it was in Taurus. I mean, I'm sorry, it's in Pisces half the most of the day. And while it's in Pisces, it will be Gandanta. And that is before 6pm so Gandanta means people are out of control. People are not behaving properly. They're too emotional and they're crazy.
I'll put it simply, people are acting irrational. Okay? And it's probably that we've got Mars almost exactly on Ketu. When we have these exact conjunctions, it is a weak around that time that things could happen and fall out. So we are in very dangerous times. Be, be cautious now from the moon being the last degrees of.
Pisces, just remember it is a good time for.
Writing, doing things creatively. Because Venus is in the third, but the sun and Mercury are in the fifth. So it's a great time for self expression, being creative, getting things done like that. It's not a good time to go work out too strenuously. Remember it's a time where you're more accident prone.
All right, so now let us move to an out hour later. So it's my 6pm when the moon goes into Aries, everything kind of changes. And that's 6pm Central Time.
The Moon in Aries means people start to move faster, get more impatient, more irrational too because it's still Gandanta and early fire. But we have Venus in the second house from the Moon. It is actually A good time to buy expensive, expensive things, believe it or not. And, you know, maybe prices will go down with all the insanity happening. Jupiter's in the third house. It is a good time for expressing yourself, being more creative.
And.
With Saturn, neptune in the 12th, some things can come out from the past that you didn't expect or know about. And it's also a difficult time for sleeping. Now the moon is going to be in the Nakshatra, Ashwini. And Ashwini means fast movement and travel. So it is ruled by Ketu. It is a tough Nakshatra, but it is known to deal with healing. So, you know, hopefully this can deal with healing some of the insanity that's going on right now in the world. Okay, now let's go to the next day, which will be July 18th. It's a Friday.
And on this day we have Mars almost exactly with Ketu. Anything could blow today or really this whole week. Anything dealing with violence, anger, hostility and war.
Doesn'T look good. It's a crazy time on this planet. So.
With this, Mars and Ketu go to the fifth house. And this can agitate the mind. The fifth house deals with our mind, our thinking. But Jupiter is in the third house. So like I said, it is a good time for being expressive, creative writing. Jupiter is in the sign of writing. It's in Gemini, so that's a good thing. And Venus being in the second house. It's a good day to work with your finances, to look to balance the books, things of that nature. But pretty much, I'm telling people, don't be going out to crowded places. This is difficult. It still with the moon being in Aries, things are moving fast. The moon is still in a Sweeney till.
4Pm Central Time Zone. So 4pm we have. The moon will be in the Nakshatra Bharani. Bharani is a tough Nakshatra too. It actually deals with new beginnings and birthing things. The moon is in Bahraini, but it's in Aries, which means fast action, getting things done.
But it's still a really difficult, crazy Nakshatra. It's like the birth of something, but the pain you have to go through to get to the other side. That's what's going on right now. It is intense. That's all I have to say. Saturn, neptune in the 12th. It's hard to sleep at night. I think everybody feels it. Everyone's worried. It's. It's a tough time in the world. People are anxious, especially with the moon here. So on this day, Mercury turns retrograde at 21 degrees of cancer. And this means confusion. This means people change their mind today. So don't be doing any business negotiations or signing of contracts because I'm telling you people will change their minds. This is not the day that you want to set up your meetings. And I'm telling you a lot of people are going to be so totally confused. And this represents a lot of outages, electrical outages, as well as problems with computers. So this is not a day for travel. Please stay home and rest, otherwise you might be stuck in airports with so much confusion you'll wish you never went. And people are so disconnected with Mercury going retrograde, especially in cancer, people are so much more emotional. Mercury is with the moon. People are over the top with their emotions. This is craziness at its highest level. Let's go to Saturday, July 19th and we're on it. The Mars Ketu are within a degree.
Remember what I say about Mars Ketu, they are about.
Terrorism. Mars is violence. K2 is likened to Mars. Put them together, it's attack. So I hope I'm wrong but I know this, people will be feeling it. I don't care if there is an event happening in the world. People are angry, they're upset and they're feeling it. With Mars together with Ketu, this is the aspect, aspect of violence. So be aware. Venus in the second house from the moon is, is good with money, finances. Jupiter in the third.
Yeah, it's a good day to express and write. Sit down, journal. That's what this day is actually good for. Journal your feelings, get it out what you're feeling. Don't hold it in. It's going to bottle up and express, explode.
And the moon will be in Kritika. It will be in Kritika. Let's see. Yeah, it will change into kritika by around 3pm.
Out of Bahraini. And Kritika is a sharp Nakshatra symbol, is a knife. And it cuts to the chase, gets to the core, gets to the bottom of things. Kritika, I mean it is a harsh Nakshatra. And with Mars on top of K2 right now, get ready.
It's a crazy time on planet Earth. Now let me move this day forward to the day that Mars and Ketu become exactly.
So Mars Ketu are exact at 25 degrees.
And I'm looking at, you know this, this brings up something I remember.
The President or the Prime Minister, excuse me, of Canada, his planets right here. So I'm going to predict here Canada is under stress and pressure There can be some blow ups and things happening in Canada. So I just remembered his chart. Now of course, if there's any country or world leader that has these degrees, look out. That's when things happen. So the moon today actually is not so bad. It goes into Rohini, but it is going to cross over Uranus, which is, which means sudden unexpected events today. But it is in Taurus and that's a gentler sign. And actually the moon likes to be in Rohini. So there are some graces of God here going on, I hope. And Jupiter in the second house. Hey, it's a good time for financial investments. It really is. So it's like what I say, if the stock market is falling, it's an opportunity, but a lot of us don't have the money to invest in it. So just lay low and pay attention to opportunities that you could make money with. Now.
Looking at this, Mars and Ketu are in the fourth house from the moon. That does not look good. That's the, the homeland. And what I keep expecting but not wanting are an attack on the homeland.
Hey, depends on where you are. But I'm looking at this from the United States. So the world is angry, full of violence and people are reacting. Let me put it all this way. Saturn, Neptune are in the 11th house. People are not connecting with each other. People feel alienated with each other. This is a tough, tough time. Okay? And if personally it is a time to check on your mom, if she's still alive, it could mean some accidents or she's not happy, could mean an argument too. So be careful with that. And around your house there could be some disruption or things breaking down with this going on and maybe something.
Like blow ups in your house, things like that. Be aware.
