Hi, I'm Joni Petrie and welcome to my YouTube channel. Well, today I want to talk about this Mercury retrograde that I believe is going to be quite a doozy about how it's going to affect all 12 signs according to what your rising, which is your Ascendant sign is, or your lagna, as we call it in Vedic astrology. Now remember, I am always talking about the sidereal Vedic chart. I'm a Vedic astrologer. So if you don't know your sidereal Ascendant or your sidereal moon sign, I want you to listen to both of those. But if you don't know what they are, insidereal Vedic astrology, go to my website, look it up, put in all your birth information, and you will find out. My website is Galactic Center.org and go to my free chart calculator. Once you put all the information in there, be sure to scroll down to the bottom to see where your, your Ascendant AS or asc, your Moon sign are. Those are the two signs I want you to listen to. The Ascendant is going to give a sense of what's actually happening in your life, and the Moon sign is what you feel is happening. So they're both very important. They're two very important aspects of yourself in your life. So pay attention. And let me remind everyone, no, you cannot listen to your western tropical placements. It will be incorrect. So I want you to get the full benefit out of this. So please make sure you know what your Ascendant and your moon sign are in sidereal Vedic astrology. So now that I've made my point pretty clear, let's get to work here. Because let me just say this is going to be the last two weeks of January 6th. So intense. And it's going to be. Let's talk about the sign Capricorn. So if your moon or your Ascendant are in Capricorn, it's going to be an intense month for you because Mercury is going retrograde in Capricorn. And when Mercury retrogrades in your sign, it's more intense, it's more relative. You, you're gonna have more setbacks, more problems where if you don't review, reassess, reanalyze everything.
Then you're gonna have some problems. You're gonna have problems where things go haywire, where there's delays and obstacles and you feel like nothing's moving forward. But if you really do the work, reflect, bring back things, reflect, reanalyze, review what you're doing. You can Avert so many problems because this is really what it's all about. Mercury makes us look back because the planet's going backwards. A planet of intelligence and of the thinking mind is reverting backwards. So it's a good time to take off and go on vacation. Really just be aware that traveling will be very complicated. Getting places will be very complicated. But here is the situation.
I've got to say that with Pluto, Saturn, Mercury.
All in the sun, all in Capricorn, this will be a month where things are going to come to light big time. It's going to be major explosive events in your life. Now this is a time when you really need to reflect, take care of yourself. It's not time to push forward and try to get things done. And everything about your physical, you feel like you have. You're going to feel kind of like you have your hands tied behind your back. So take this time really to reflect, to go within, to reassess everything and this will really help. You got to go backwards in time and this is an emotional time and you feel like everyone's trying to control you. Let it go. Take the time to try to better understand why you're going through this. And remember, you can't blame other people. You got to look within. What is it, what is it that you're doing that's causing the reaction to happen this way? Because it has something always to do with ourselves. And this is a beautiful time for self awareness, analysis and transformation. This particular time period, while Mercury's retrograde for the sign Capricorn. Now if you have Aquarius as your ascendant or moon sign, then this will be a time of deep past introspection. And I gotta say, a lot is coming up from you for you when you dream at night. Because this Mercury retrograde in the stellium of planets, stellium means three or more planets all together in Capricorn are in your 12th house. The 12th house deals with the past, it deals with memories and it also deals with sleep and dreams. Yes, you're going to be dreaming quite vividly and a lot of information could come to you through your dreams, your dream state. So be aware of that. But you'll also find that indications, people and events from your past are going to show up. And this is what you're going to have to look at so that before you move forward again, you can make some better adjustments based on what you've learned from your past. People will come from the past, they will reappear in your life, and they'll be there to teach you a lesson. Now, it doesn't always have to be a difficult lesson. It'll just bring some awareness to yourself as to what you can learn from the experience, why these people have reemerged into, into your life from the past. And you may even find that you've got to travel unexpectedly to a foreign place. And if you do, there'll be complications in that, in those travel plans. But this is what it's about. It's also a time for you to bring things to conclusion and an end. Some long term thing that has been going on and on, an event or a problem, it's time to bring it to closure. Because the twelfth house is endings and closure. Now, if your Ascendant or your Moon are in Pisces, then this means that this is all happening. The stellium of planets. Mercury retrograde in your 11th house deals with groups, friends and organizations. So you, you're going to find that people do reemerge, old friends that you've been connected with and hadn't seen for a while, that you've got to make some kind of closure or transformational change with. You may even find that an old friend that you cared about could have passed on because Mercury will on the 31st be with Pluto. And this is endings. It's in the house of friendship. And this can mean whether it's like either through death or either through disagreements, you may move on from old friendships and people from the past. Another thing that could be happening, if your mother's alive, please pay attention to her health, because this is a very important house. It deals with the mother's health and well being. So.
Even financial matters you may find are kind of hung up and not coming through as well. So if your Ascendant or your Moon sign are in Aries, then this means there's going to be some major changes within your work, your career.
Your job. And it can mean that many things may be put on hold with your job. Maybe layoffs or delays at work, or even if you own a business. It was like major problems with things, with setbacks and finances and things that you've been wanting to move forward. It's going to be a time that you got to just lay low, let this time pass. In other words, don't expand and grow in any big way because it's going to cause some setbacks. And if you, if you might find that you're within your job, your boss may change, something will change. But also be aware of your communications with people at work because you might be misunderstood by people. Be very extra clear in your communications. So if your ascendant or your. Your rising sign. Ascendant is rising sign. Or your moon are in Taurus. Yes, Taurus is the sign where this is going to be occurring in your ninth house. The ninth house deals specifically with your beliefs, your spirituality. And you're going to find that the way you believe and what you believe in is changing. And that's a pretty big deal. Because when your mind set in a certain way of beliefs and your beliefs change or what you believe in, your whole world kind of crumbles and has to be looked at in completely different way. Because nothing you believed is right. Well, I wouldn't say nothing, but many things. And this shifts your whole thoughts about the world.
Now, the ninth house also deals with long distance travel. And I want to say things are going to go haywire and get hung up when you try to proceed with travel plans. So be conscious of this. Maybe rearrange to go at a different time. And if your father's still alive, be aware that communications with him may go haywire. You may be misunderstood or not heard properly. So make sure you speak clearly and get your point across in a clear, definitive way. So if you have your ascendant or your moon sign in the sign of Gemini, then this is a time of deep, deep introspection research going back to the drawing board, having to refigure and recalculate things from the get go because there's something that you didn't calculate properly. And your research is going to take you to another level of understanding to understand things on a deeper level and even metaphysical. You will have information come from other people on the other side, possibly that are trying to get a message across to you. Listen, be aware. Yes, it's real, it's happening. And that information can be very, very important for your future.
Now another thing, because it's in the eighth house, and this is a very difficult house, this might be a time when, when people around you that you've known for a long time, they could pass. This is the house of death. Not to scare you or anything, it's not your death by any means. But let me put it this way. You're understanding your interest in life after will become more intense. Sometimes that's because somebody you know does pass. But even if it's not someone you know, all of a sudden you become so interested in life after death. Yes, you will have these deep yearnings in searching for that as well. But be very careful. Stay out of Any scandals or anything that deals.
Scandalous behavior. Because at this time, you could get caught in something you don't want to be caught in. Okay, so if your rising sign or your moon sign and rising as your ascendant are in the sign of cancer, then this is going to be where you've got to be very aware of your relationships. Your partner. Your partner is not being clear, not giving you the information you need. And because of this, this can cause some great problem, problems in the relationship. You're looking to find the truth. You want answers. And let me just say, they are not being forthcoming with. Maybe it's just they are oblivious that they're not being clear. But at the same time, I think you're a little suspicious of something and you want them to come forth with information that you feel like that they have been keeping from you. And at the same time, this is. If you're not in a relationship, this is not the greatest time to start one just because there'll be disagreements and miscommunication with a new partner. So it's time just to lay low from relationships and not push any agendas here. And especially if you are in a relationship.
Make sure you're clear in your understanding and your communications with them. So if your ascendant or your moon sign's in Leo, it's a time for you to really reflect on probably your New Year's resolutions. Because it's a time that you've got to get healthy. You got to start looking at your health in a different way. Got to start really ramping it up with your vitamin intake, with your exercise, with your sleep. Everything that promotes good health. And you know, that really goes with the mind, too. So you got to get rid of all these emotional thoughts that bring your resistance down. Find a sense of peace, start meditating, start getting in touch with your spirit, with your soul, and. And take care of your health. And you may find also that co workers, people that you work with are so flaky. They're not clear. They mess up things. There's misunderstandings. So many problems in the area of your work with co workers or employees. Make sure that you're clear with them during this time. So if your ascendant or your moon sign is Virgo, then this means that the Mercury retrograde is in your fifth house. And the fifth house deals with creativity. You may find that you go back and you have the urge to recreate things, to get. To take up your artistic talents, to write. This is something that's being re evaluated. Re emerging into your life. This is, you want to bring something back, but at the same time.
The fifth house is children. If you have children, please pay attention to them. They're trying to tell you something. And many times children don't know how to, so they act out. And for the most part, with Mercury retrograde, they're not being clear, they're not communicating with you the way that they should. And it can deal also with their learning, their education. Take time to make sure sure that you know what's going on with your children, with education, with what they're feeling and what they're learning. This is so important.
So if you have an ascendant or a moon sign in Libra, then this means that this Mercury retrogrades in your fourth house. Fourth house deals with family, but mainly with your mother and your home, your residence. So you may be redoing things.
Redoing the kitchen, reanalyzing something within your property and just restoring it. So look at that, things can go haywire. And also sometimes you can have problems with your car. The fourth house actually rules vehicles. But make sure that you are clear with your understanding and your communication at this time time with your mother, if she's still around. And anything to do with family matters. The sense of bringing security into the home. This is a time that you've got to work to make sure things are secure. So in other words, make sure you have insurance on your car, your house, all those things that give a sense of security. This is what you have to focus in on during this Mercury retrograde. So if during this Mercury retrograde you have a moon in Scorpio or your ascendants in Scorpio, then this means that this mercury is in your third house. And the third house deals with your communications. This will definitely affect you pretty hard because this does deal with your ability to communicate with people. And you got to make sure you're more clear during this time. Because you could come off to people as being vague or leaving things out or not being aware. And because the third house deals with our thinking mind, you'll be more absent minded, pay attention and traveling, things will go haywire. But the third house also deals with your brothers and sisters. So make sure that you're clear with them.
Make sure that you tell them what you need to tell them, and make sure they understand. Because miscommunications and misunderstandings can occur with siblings during this time.
So the last one, if your ascendant or your moon sign is in Sagittarius, then this means that the Mercury Retrograde's in your second house. The second house deals with finances. Make sure you know exactly where your money's going because you may dig up that you've been paying an expense that you didn't know about for a long period of time. Check this out. It's a time for review, and that's what you must do. Review all your financials. Make sure that your money's going to the right places. At the same time, the second house deals with our voice. So please make sure that when you speak, you're clear, concise, you make your point relevant. Make sure, ask people do you understand? And let them retell you what you just said to make sure that they're getting what you're trying to communicate. Now, the second house is also a house of family, so there may be misunderstandings and problems within the family because people assume you know what what each other are feeling and you don't. So make sure things are clear, concise, people understand what you're trying to get across. And this Mercury retrograde will not be as much of a problem as it would if you were unconscious to the effects of this transit. So with that, I have covered all 12 signs how this Mercury retrograde is going to affect us. So it's only three weeks, it's not the end of the world. But please pay attention and take into account that Mercury retrograde is always about miscommunications, not hearing things correctly, not understanding things correctly. And it's a time to pull back and reflect instead of moving forward. So with that, I'd like to close. Remember, if you would like to learn Vedic astrology, go to my university website.
