Hi, I'm Joni Petrie, and welcome to my YouTube channel. Well, today I want to talk about what I've been asked to do. Many of you said, why don't you give us what's going to be happening for all the signs while Mars is in Taurus? And I understand why you would want to know that, because Mars is going to be in Taurus for quite a long time. It's going to go retrograde. Actually, it's going to be in Gemini for a short period of time, but for the most part, it's going to be in Taurus for about six months. That's huge. You got to know how this is going to be affecting you according to your Ascendant, your Moon sign. Remember, the Ascendant is pretty much what's happening, but the Moon sign is going to be how you feel about things, which is vitally, vitally important. As a matter of fact, in India, they say to look at the transiting planets from the Moon before you look at them from the Ascendant. So that is why I always tell everyone, look at them from the Moon. Now, if you don't know your Vedic sidereal Ascendant or moon sign, go to my website. That's where you can figure this out. So go to my website, Galactic Center.org and click on the free chart calculator. And once you put in all your data, scroll down to the very bottom. Don't try to read those charts. I'm going to teach you guys how to read those charts one day. But right now, don't try to read them because you won't understand them. I'm telling you, if you don't know Vedic astrology, go to the bottom and look what your as is as. That sign is your Ascendant and your moon Mo. That's your moon sign. Listen to these two signs and they will make a lot of sense for you over the course of the next six months. So Mars goes into Taurus on the 10th of August, and it's going to go into Gemini for a short time, though. It's going to actually be in Gemini from October 16 to November 13. And so then November 13, it goes back into Taurus, where it will remain till March 12th. So basically there's just, you know, what about three weeks or so that almost a month that it will be in Gemini? Yeah, it'll be in Gemini for a month, October 16th through November 13th. But regardless, August and September, part of October. Then November through March, it's in Taurus. So listen up. So that you can see what is going to happen for you now.

Joni Patrie Astrology Insights. You're gonna love it. It is an online magazine. All this information is so wonderful. Check it out. Now, continuing on, let's start with the sign Taurus. Taurus is a sign that we' to have Mars in and going retrograde. So remember, when a planet is retrograde, it is so much more intense. That's why this is a huge big deal to listen to where Mars is going to be for you. So if you have a Taurus rising or a Taurus moon, then this means Mars is in your first house. And the first house is you. Therefore, it's going to activate you in so many ways. It's going to give you energy, it's going to give you drive, but you're going to feel very impulsive and impatient. Mars has that type of energy about it, therefore it can make you a bit accident prone. Please pay attention to what you're doing. Don't get overly excited and be in a rush or hurry or drive carelessly because the first house can mean you could have some problems or accidents. Plus, you know, the first house rules the head. Be careful. Don't be running around where you can, you know, do anything that could hurt you or fall on your head. I would have to say don't be riding around on motorcycles during this time. This is the time for you to take care and use this energy wisely. So what does that mean? Use. Use your added strength and energy and courage to get more done, but at a reasonable pace. Okay, if you're rising or your moon sign sits in Gemini then means this Mars is going to be in your 12th house. Gemini Moon or Gemini Ascendant. And what that means is you're going to find that lots of things from the past seem to come up resurface. You got to deal with some old memories and things from the past, healing them, getting them to the point where you feel rested. Now, another thing that may happen is you may not feel like you can sleep well at night. Why? 12th House deals with sleep. And another thing is be very cautious when you're traveling to foreign places or even dark places in the night. Be careful. The 12th house deals with foreign lands, but it also deals with secret enemies. So you may not see what's happening. And therefore I say make sure you protect yourself. In other words, get, get insurance or get a safe. But lock things up during these times. Now, if you're rising or your moon sign sits in cancer, this would be a time when you might find that your friends, your associates could cause you some problems. Mars is a little aggressive, but I must say, Mars being in the 11th House is actually good for meeting people, getting things done, coming together, finalizing things with friends, with groups and organizations. And if you have an older sibling, you might find that this is the time that you're, you're going to have to sort things out with them. Now, Mars is a malefic, but still in the 11th house, it could bring you wealth and money because Mars likes to be in the 11th house. And this could bring you some, some wealth, added wealth. But be careful with your friends or with an older sibling. Now, if your moon or your rising sign sits in leo, then this is a great time for opportunities with work and career. Mars loves to be in the 10th house. The 10th house is the house of our career. So it could deal with promotions, with opportunities, with getting a new job if you're looking. But be aware your boss may be difficult, very difficult to deal with. And don't, don't provoke your boss during this time. Mars is anger. And in the 10th house, your boss may become very angry and you might be looking for a new job if you're not careful with Mars transiting your 10th house.
So if your rising or your moon sign sits in Virgo, this means Mars is in your ninth house and Mars in the ninth house. It's aggressive. It could be that you're changing your viewpoint spiritually or the way that you believe. Your belief patterns may change. Or you might even find that suddenly you have to go on a trip unexpectedly. Mars can be very spontaneous in a hurry, but you might find that you've got to be traveling for some reason. And you might find that you might be provoked according to what you believe and your father. The ninth house deals with the father. You might find that you might have some confrontation with your father if he's still around and in school. Don't provoke any of your teachers. 9th House deals with teachers in higher education, which you might be. You might be encouraged or have a desire to take on more studies. But don't be arguing with your teacher. You're not going to win. So if you have your ascendant or your moon sign in Libra, this means Mars is going to be transiting your 8th House, the 8th House. With Mars being there, your ability to Research and analyze and get to the bottom of things is astronomically great. So. So research projects, they should put you on and you're going to get the answers. But don't forget the eighth house with Mars being there can indicate scandals and upsets. So you know some of the things that you've been hiding may be revealed with the eighth house. And this is also the house that can deal with psychic intuition. So you will have more insights, deep insights. But remember, this is a house that can deal with secrets and scandals and things may become unraveled, be very uncomfortable for you while Mars is there in your eighth house from the Ascendant or the moon.
Now if your Ascendant or your moon sign is in Scorpio, then this means that Mars is in your seventh house. This is going to be a difficult six month trial for you in the area of relationships. Your partner will be confrontational, not easy to get along with, argumentative, just lay low. If you can get past this, things will improve and get better, particularly after March. So. But maybe there's things that need to be addressed in your relationship brought out to the surface and heal and work on. But it won't be easy. Mars can be aggressive and you might find your partner suddenly is blaming you for things that you know is probably their fault. But you know what, if you throw it back at them, it's going to get worse. So bite your lips, be calm and be very reasonable. Try to bring balance during this time in your relationship. Now if your moon sign or your Ascendant sits in Sagittarius, this puts Mars in your sixth house, which is actually by itself a good thing to get you motivated at work, get more things done. But you're going to find that your co workers or your employees may be a little bit more difficult to get along with. Now I know that make you feel good. And the other thing is Mars being in your sixth house. Be aware that your digestion, you might have stomach upsets or problems with Mars in the six plus. Another thing the sixth house can deal with is your pets. So be cautious dealing with your pets because they could have some problems or accidents with Mars being there. Furthermore, the sixth house deals with your health. And I know I said there can be digestive upsets, but Mars can also be fevers or accidents. So please be cautious during this time. If your moon or rising sits in Sagittarius. Now if your moon or your Ascendant sits in Capricorn, then this means that Mars is in your fifth house. If you have children, they may Be acting up. They may need a lot more of attention. But for the area of creativity, you're going to be alive. Your creative juices are going to be really strong. You're going to come up with all sorts of new ideas. Jot them down, don't lose them, because this is the time things are going to be realizations. And ideas are just going to be coming at you one after another. Take note of them. They're brilliant, they're good, and you will have the power and the energy to start doing something with these ideas. This is like, fantastic for creative ideas. I wouldn't be investing too much during this time because, you know, Mars is malefic. You could be a little overly aggressive in your investments, and that may not cause gains like you think it will.
Okay, so if you're Mars, if you're. Excuse me, if your Ascendant or your moon sign is in Aquarius, and this means transiting Mars is in your fourth house from the moon or the Ascendant. And what this means is you might be thinking about renovation, doing something different to your home. Mars in the fourth can tear things up. So if you're renovating, it could be quite a mess. But hey, the after effects will be wonderful. But it can also mean that things could be breaking down in your home, because Mars.
Could break things. It's not a good place to put Mars. And there can be arguments with the family or even your mother. So if your mother's still around, this would, you know, be careful about what you say around her. Furthermore, if you have a car, this can cause some car trouble. 4th house actually deals with vehicles and cars. And Mars could be a breakdown of sorts. Even in your house, you could have like air conditioning or heating breakdown during this time. Be aware, with Mars in the fourth house, it could deal with fixing things as well. It's in the home or the house. Or it could even mean that you're moving. This could be an opportunity for a move. Remember, Mars is the planet of real estate as well.
Okay? If your moon or your Ascendant sits in Pisces, and this means that Mars is in your third house and transiting your third house. And this could mean going on some spots, sporadic trips, especially road trips. Mars in the third. And maybe you're doing a lot of traveling by car anyway, like a commute during this time, a lot of back and forth and a lot of traveling. But it also deals with learning. And this can mean that you're learning something new and you're really excited about it. Mars in the third house, learning new things, new classes, courses. It's time to open your mind. Also, the third house deals with brothers and sisters, so you will probably have some conflict with a sibling, especially if they're younger than you. There can be some conflict or problems.
With siblings. So take it easy. Be careful what you say. This is not the time to provoke your siblings because it can get worse. But Mars in your third house does give you a lot of drive, ambition and courage. So you can get a lot done during this time and maybe even some creative projects that you have been putting off, such as writing. This would be a great time to start these things. So if you're. If your rising sign or your moon sign sits in Aries, then this means that transiting Mars is in your second house. You're going to be organizing your financial matters more, trying to figure out where your money's going, how it's being spent. But be careful with Mars in the second house. Sometimes you're more impulsive with your spending. So it means a lot of money going out, a lot of expenditure. Be careful about where your money is going, don't get too excited and, you know, spend a lot of money off the top of your head. Now, the second house also deals with family, so there can possibly be some disregard discord with family members at this time. You're going to want to be careful around particularly what you're saying because the second house is speech as well. And Mars being there, you may.
Spout out things you didn't mean to say and you regret later. Think before you speak. That's what I got to say with this and with Mars being in the second house. Take your time eating. It also deals with how you eat and what you eat. So be cautious to take care and eat healthy and take your time. Don't be in a rush, don't be eating in your car, please. That is no way to spend time to digest your food in a big hurry. Take your time, sit down, eat, and give gratitude to the food that you have and that will help it digest so much better. But this can be a time that money can come in. But usually when Mars is there, money comes in but it goes out because there's a lot of expenditure. And be careful around family members. Don't be saying things that are hurtful because you will regret them later. So with that, I have covered all of the ascendant signs as to what to expect during this long trek of Mars being in the sign of Taurus and how it's going to affect all 12 signs. So with that, I'd like to close. Remember, if you want to learn Vedic astrology with me, go to my university website, which is universityofvedicastrology.com. thank you.
