Hi, I'm Joni Petrie and welcome to my YouTube channel. Well, today I want to talk about the month of October. And yes, something big is about to happen. This is a crazy time historically. We will look back at these times.
And be amazed that we lived through them because this is.
Incredibly transformational. Now, before I begin with my dissertation for the month of October, I want to remind everyone, if you would like a written transcript of everything that I'm talking about, the dates and explanations on the planets. Sign up for my free newsletter, go to my website. Sign up for my free newsletter and it will be delivered to your personal email, which is galactic center.org. so this is a very important month historically and really all the way to the end of the year because we've got so, so many astrological events occurring most of all while Mars is retrograde. Mercury is going to turn retrograde this month. So everything to do with communications and anger and emotion is going to just fly. You're going to see how the planets were really do have their effect on this world.
Mars went retrograde September 9th. It will remain retrograde till it turns direct on November 14th. But I feel like the most.
Angry and frustrating time will be when Mars retrogrades back into the sun from Aries into the sign of Pisces. Yes, I'm doing sidereal Vedic astrology, not tropical Western astrology. You'll see this really makes a difference. So Mars being when it retrogrades into Pisces.
This is going to be where everything really mounts and starts to change. Because when it's in Pisces, it's going to go into Pisces October 4th. It will remain there till December 24th. And the reason why I think this is such a valuable time is that Pisces is ruled by Jupiter. Yes, this is the old rulership system. And Jupiter is in Sagittarius during this time. So everything kind of funnels to Jupiter, which in Sagittarius deals with so much belief and emotion, because Sagittarius is the sign of spirituality and truth. But people tend to go overboard sometimes with this sign and they tend to force their opinions on others. So this is a time when you're going to have radical feelings and emotions. And in the United States, with the elections coming, this is where everything is going to really heat up and explode. So it's interesting that there's been talk about a lot of talk about the mail in ballots and the votes because of the coronavirus and the fiasco that this is going to cause. Well, if you look at astrology, Mars retrograde, anger, frustration. It surfaces and brings up anger. Any old issues we may have concerning what we're angry about, and this goes for everyone.
Now. Mercury going retrograde. Remember, when a planet does go retrograde, what does it do? It brings up unresolved issues to be healed concerning what that planet's about. So Mars deals with anger, hostility, hostility. And all of this is going to be surfacing with Mercury, which rules communications of all kinds in travel. So put that together.
Mail in ballots, Mercury rules anything to do with transport connections and communications, and it's retrograde in Libra. Libra is a sign that deals with justice, with, deals with fairness, balance. But when a planet's retrograde, it means everything's out of balance.
And there's anger about it. So we can see the writing on the wall. Actually, Mercury is going to turn retrograde October 14, and it will remain retrograde till it turns direct changes directions on election day, November 3rd. It's going to be very, very, very interesting. So.
There'S going to be some explosive events. Let me get down to business and tell you what I feel like is going to be happening. But here's what I think we should do with this prior knowledge. We have got to remember we cannot be contributing to, to all the anger and mass pandemonium and violence.
If you're coming from a place where you really want to change the world, change your life, and come from a place of spirituality and truth, you can't be doing this. This is what is directing the emotions of those that are completely and totally unconscious. In other words, they react, they don't think about consequences. And where this anger and frustration are originating in their own lives. We're going to give you some clues on how to uncover and help with how you can really find the answers to your own issues. Because when we work on ourselves, we have an effect on the world. Yes, we really do. We have to get this down and better understand it. So another thing that's going to be happening that I think is very important to realize is that Mars is going to be.
In the Gandanta degrees. What is Gandanta? I talk about it all the time. It is so important when a planet is in the very first degrees of a fire sign and the very last degrees of a fire sign called Gandanta. And when Mars is going to be 29 degrees of Pisces, these dates will be around October 6th and the 7th, but it will actually be Gandanta before that. While it's in the first degrees of Aries. But realize Gandanta actually means not. But it's an issue, it's a problem. I was always taught in, from my teacher, it meant a sense of drowning. And that is exactly what drowning is all about, a sense of losing control. And that's what we're going to see. But because Gandanta does have that relationship to drowning, it means there's going to be violent storms all around the world. There's going to be floods, there's going to be severity with weather.
And I believe with the emotion building, it will shake the world. The world is almost like it's crying with the floods, the storms, and literally drowning, figuratively drowning, being out of control. Watch that time period. Very, very significant.
So if Mercury is surfacing, things that deal with our communications, I want you to realize a lot about this, that we have to be very cautious about what we say. Because with Mars retrograde, you may regret some of the things you say because if you just blurt out words, they're going to have some angry connotations behind it. Or people that are angry will completely take it wrong.
Because they're projecting their stuff onto you. And they. And what people don't realize is the outside world is a reflection of them. We'll talk about this a little more because this is so pertinent to understand. So with all of the anger issues coming out and Mars being in the sign of Pisces, this is the last part of the zodiac. So it means things are going to come to an end and things are about to transform and change. But a lot of what's going to come out is going to be the truth. The truth will surface. But here's some other issues I want to point out.
Because everyone's so vested in what they believe, they're going to be drawn to whatever supports what they believe. And that's going to be their truth, whether it's truth or not. And I want you to be prepared for many conspiracy theories and many untruths that are out there. So please be objective when you listen and hear some of the things that are going to be put out there. Because with Mercury retrograde, a lot of nonsense is going to come out. And with Mars retrograde, it's going to invoke anger in people all around the world. All around the world. This is a big event that's coming.
So on October 1st is the full Moon. In Pisces, it's going to be 14 degrees of Pisces, which is going to be in the Nakshatra of Uttara. Badrapada. This Nakshatra symbol is the rear part, the back end part of a funeral cot. Now.
The full moon this time of year will generally fall, will be in Pisces, but not always in this Nakshatra. But here's. It's not uncommon, but I find it very interesting that we have the full Moon in Pisces at this time of year, which is when we're preparing to close out the year. And what I think we should really try to understand is what we have learned through this coronavirus pandemic. So much has changed, and we have to realize everything happens for a reason. And this change, on some level will teach us something very valuable. And we must be grateful because it's nice to be able to reset, pull back and reset for what's to come. Because this pandemic is not going to last forever. Get ready. The world is going to go into fast motion in 2021. That is a promise. So get ready and prepare. But it's a time to really reflect till the end of the year and see what we can do to. To change our lives internally, spiritually. This is what this full Moon tells me. It's about closure for the year and preparing for what's to come. But this takes some real clarity to look within and to see how not only the world's changed, but how we've changed personally because of it.
So around October 4th, we have Pluto stationing. It is stationing to turn direct because Pluto has some very, very deep implications about.
Our shadow side. Pluto, remember, is the God of the underworld. And when we look at what Pluto is all about, we can better understand our shadow side, our dark side. And this can only bring light into our lives. Now, I have to say right now, I just finished my third book, my trilogy on the outer planets. I've written one on Uranus. Neptune just finished Pluto. It's not out on Amazon yet. I will let you know. But very, very soon, it is in the works. And.
It is the most psychological planet of all. It deals with psychoanalysis and Pluto coming to a station on October 4th. And another thing is going to be happening soon after. Mars is going to be squaring Pluto. This is October 9th. So all this dark energy is being brought up for us to see about ourselves. And like I said, this is the most wonderful opportunity. This Mars being retrograde, bringing up. It's going to surface the things that you need to see that can absolutely, I promise, if you listen, transform and change your life. Remember, Pluto is a planet of transformation. But you have to learn to surrender to get there. It's not about the ego, it's not about what we think is right. It's about surrendering to the higher power to open the gateways to make our lives work again. This is an incredibly powerful time. So I feel though with Mars squaring Pluto, this is a very dangerous aspect actually. It deals with violence. And remember, this is as soon as October 9th that this is all coming about.
And it is really about about obstacles and fear and anger. So moving through that, then we move to October 14th when Mercury turns retrograde. And I want you to realize anything to do with your communications will go haywire. Mercury is going to be retrograde this year. In the air signs, which is all about how we communicate Now Libra is about relationships, it's about love, it's about marriage. And here is the time that we can really work on ourselves and heal any issues that have not been working in this area. So I look at retrogrades as opportunities because remember, when retrogrades, they go backwards. So it's a time to review and reflect on the things that we need to change to change the course and direction of our Life.
So around October 14th as well, when Mercury turns retrograde, we also will have Mars opposing the sun. And the sun represents leadership, Presidents around the world and Mars opposition here means violence and attacks.
Now these attacks could be just incredible verbal attacks. I just hope there's nothing that is physical. But I have to say this is a very difficult time in the United States because the transiting sun will be in the 10th House of the United States. Chart represent leadership, represent the president. Mars opposing that represents seriousness and possible attacks. I believe they're probably going to be verbal, but this is a very dangerous time for anyone that is in a major leadership position, such as a president. So this is a turning point. Now by October 16th, this is going to be where everything changes because this is the time of a new Moon. And this new Moon is very interesting to me because it's going to occur at 29 degrees of Virgo.
29 degrees of Virgo. But it's a new Moon. The very last degree of a sign. But the very newness of the moon bringing a new cyclic change. What does that mean? It means that things have to end before the new beginning. And there's going to be massive endings that are going to create a new beginning at this time. Now, 29 degrees of Virgo is actually conjunct the fixed star Spica, which is the most auspicious star of the heavens. It deals with literary genius, it deals with the arts. And you will see incredible, incredible creative works coming out. Writings, movies, plays. This is creative. And this is a beautiful time to really get in touch with our communication skills ourselves. So moving on.
I'm looking at October 19th. This is where Mars will be squaring Jupiter. And I feel like it's so interesting that Jupiter and Pluto are coming together, but Mars is sending a square to them both. There are obstacles towards the new revolution of things that are about to change. Change. It's almost like a birthing process where things are so difficult and painful.
But they're going to birth a whole new world. This I want you to realize and recognize this is a promise. A new world is about to emerge out of all of this chaos. So October 23rd, this is when Venus will move into Virgo, which is a sign of debilitation. This is not great. And as a matter of fact, I think this means the economy will drop. But if it does, and I'm pretty certain with all the chaos going on, the economy, therefore the stock market will fall, I guarantee you in 2021 it will be in an all time high. It's time to invest. Bear that in mind. Another thing, when Venus is in Virgo, it's not a great time for relationships. I don't ever tell people to get married when Venus is in Virgo. Venus rules marriage. You don't want it debilitated. But at the same time, at the same time, it is a time when you can heal issues around your relationships.
So one last date I want to give you is October 29th. This will be when Jupiter is in a quincunx and 8, 6 relationship.
With Rahu. This can be treacherous. It can rule accidents and endings. So this is not the day for you to be doing anything that takes risks. That's all I'm going to say with that. It is not a risk taking day. The end of October, we're moving towards November where everything will change. But what's happening now in October gives the opportunity for the new beginnings and change to come. This is monumental. So I want to talk to these anger issues that everyone's feeling because this is such a great opportunity to transform and change your life. It really is. If you can look at it from the vantage point that I'm talking about now, when we get angry, realize what's triggering. That is always something rooted at a core, core, root of something within your past. And if you can trace these things, you can heal them. First you got to find the problem you Got to find the cause in order to work on it. Just like if you're sick, you've got to find out what's wrong with yourself before you can treat it. So finding out where these core issues originated because you know everyone is motivated by their past. We're born into this world. Certainly we have certain natural characteristics and personalities. Where does that evolve from? It evolves from who we were before.
And then when we're born into this life, we reenact all the same issues that were never healed before from previous lifetimes. And here we are again. Now it's time to be conscious and aware what these core issues are. Because when we react, look and see. Why am I feeling this way? Why am I reacting like this? This is where you can start to discover the blocks that are preventing you from achieving your highest dreams and goals in this life. If you're. If you can do this and be real with this, it's going to change your life. But.
If you want to and need to stay attached to your anger, so be it. There will be so many people that feel so justified with their anger, and they can't let go of that justification.
But realize it's only holding you back. All this anger actually has a very negative effect on your body. Cause it's high blood pressure, heart problems. Let it go. This is not the right thing to do. We've come here to learn how to change, not to just be vested in our anger and not get over it. So here's what I want you to do. I want you to.
Reflect. Introspect. Where did this anger come from? Childhood experiences. Was it your mother? Was it a sibling? Was it bullying? All these things? Yes, you feel a definite emotion and effect from these things, and rightfully so. But you can't let it control your life forever. That's what you're doing. If you feel like your life is not what you want it to be. So find the reasons, become more conscious. Yes, the anger is going to surface for everyone. That's why I say this is such an opportunity for. For us to resolve it now. This is. This is an opportunity to learn more about ourselves. But here is what I think we can do.
That will really help you. Because everyone's going to be enraged by what Here in the United States, it is going to be about this political race.
And if we can look at these presidential candidates now, I know everyone's vested in a certain way. It's always based on your past experiences. Why you feel the justice is. Why do we feel anger? Because we feel we can't stand that, which is unjust unfairness. It angers us. And certain people. When we see certain people get ahead because they walk all over other people. They're selfish, they're egotistical. They.
They're just not good people. And that enrages us because they get ahead and there's no justice. It's just not fair. That makes people angry. All of us get angry over this. But remember, anger is a very real emotion, but we got to take the emotion out to really analyze this, get the emotion out, and get outside yourself to look at what these issues are that are enraging you. And like I say, when we look at celebrities and these politicians.
We have opinions about them, strong opinions. And why is that? Because there's something that makes us angry about what. Who they are and what they're doing. And what we have to really understand with this. This is really hard to do, but you've got to be objective. Follow me through with this.
Whatever you're projecting onto that presidential candidate that you do not like, realize, it's not about them. They're simply a symbol of something that's within you that you're projecting onto them, and it comes from your past.
I know this sounds ridiculous, but I know it's the truth. I've worked with psychology and therapy and astrology my entire life to know how this works. Here's what we do.
What we don't like in that person, we are projecting all of our angers and our issues onto them. For, for example, not that long ago, I had a client that just was like, oh, my God, please tell me that Trump is not going to be reelected. Please tell me this. What do you see? And I said, well, first of all, she said, well, she told me that Trump represented everything. Her first husband was selfish, egotistical, and physically abused her. And so Trump represented all of that to her. And this is what's enraging her. But I told her it's not about Trump. It's about some unresolved issues that you have with relationships from the past. And if you can see what they are and not project them outwardly, take them in and heal them inwardly, then you'll heal your relationship issues.
And everyone wants to have a happy, healthy relationship. Everyone wants to be successful and prosperous and happy. You can't. When you're holding on to anger and rage, it comes out, these political elections, whether you want Trump or you want Biden, see what you're projecting onto that opposite to better see what you need to heal within yourself. So this can be a very powerfully healing time with this mars retrograde. I want you to use it properly and once thing I want to say that nobody likes and that is to be judged.
And remember to judge is human, but to come from a place where we cast blame on other people. When we blame other people or other circumstances outside of ourself, we give away our power to heal and work on ourselves.
So pull back the judgment.
And recognize that the world is not this terrible place. The reason why we have these judgments because we feel like the world is not fair.
And it's not just. It's a no wonder that people.
Are so emotional right now. Because what invokes such.
Drastic emotions.
Is the sense of injustice. And this comes with our beliefs, either in religion or in politics. These are the two things, things that really spur us on about injustice.
And we can heal this within ourselves. This will have a massive effect, massive effect on the planet. If you can take this back, use this time as a new awakening to heal all the angers, past judgments and quit judging, judging everyone else. It's time to look within and see where you can see through your own judgment of your past, how you can heal it. Because when you recognize where it originates and where it comes from, you will heal it. It's like.
I love the myth of Hercules and the Hydra.
Because Hercules was sent to go kill this monstrous creature with all these swirling heads, the Hydra, this dragon. And so what he did was every time he would cut off the heads, but every time he cut off a head, 10 more would grow back. And what this actually symbolizes is that when we hide from our fears, when we don't recognize them and pretend they're not there, our fears and our angers, they multiply and grow. But it was until Hercules.
Bent down on his knees and brought the Hydra to the light that it disappeared and dissolved. And that's exactly what we can do for ourselves. So what that says, symbolizes is when we surrender and bring the things that we fear and most angry about to the light, it simply dissolves and disappears. And that's what we all need. Because this will heal our lives. The world will open up in a new way for you. And that's what I'm here to help you with, to heal your life so that you can attract all the good things that you so desire. And you don't understand why you have all these blocks.
When you realize what they're about, these blocks and you bring them to the light, recognize and work on them, don't blame other people in things and circumstances outside your circumstances. Realize that everything you're about.
Is a reflection out there, is reflecting what's within here. And if you don't like what that's there, the way to change it is within your heart, within your soul, within your consciousness. This is going to be what you have to do to work on.
These core issues and change these beliefs that have held you back up into this point. So with all of that, remember this Mars Mercury retrograde will really bring opportunities to see the truth not only out there in the world, but more than anything within yourself that will transform your world. See, so with that, I'd like to close.
