In this short astrological forecast, Joni Patry explains that on Saturday, August 1st the Moon is in Aquarius and has just passed over Rahu, creating a Moon‑Rahu conjunction that amplifies radical emotions and change. The Moon resides in the Purva Bhadrapada nakshatra, which is associated with visionary insight and a sense of humanity’s transformation. Patry notes that the month’s Rahu‑Ketu axis is fixed at 5° Aquarius (Rahu) and 5° Leo (Ketu) within the Magha nakshatra, whose symbol is a throne; the Leo degree aligns with the fixed star Regulus, linked to kingship and leadership, while Ketu signifies loss, indicating a period of significant loss. Finally, she mentions that Venus has just entered Virgo, breaking the restrictive kala sarpa yoga formed by Rahu and Ketu, which will bring clearer thinking and easier decision‑making despite the heavy losses anticipated.

Saturday, August 1st. And the Moon today sits in Aquarius, and it is— it has already passed over Rahu. Moon-Rahu represents emotions, radical feelings, and change going on, on the planet today. The Moon sits in the nakshatra called Purva Bhadrapada, and this nakshatra is so much about visionaries seeing the future. People are feeling this deep change in humanity. Another thing that's going on the whole month is that Rahu-Ketu— whenever we have eclipses, they stand still at a particular degree. And Rahu is 5 degrees Aquarius and Ketu is 5 degrees of Leo. It is in the nakshatra called Magha which is— the symbol is a throne. But most of all, 5 degrees Leo is the point of the fixed star Regulus, which is the heart of the lion, rules kings and leaders. Ketu is loss. So there's going to be heavy-duty loss going on this particular month. Another thing that's happened today is Venus just entered into Virgo. This broke the kala sarpa yoga where Rahu and Ketu are. Things will be clearer and easy to make decisions with
