Hi, I'm Joni Petrie and welcome to my YouTube channel. Well, today I want to talk about the very first week of February. And remember what I'm doing here is I am giving you the best days to do whatever you feel like you need to do. Whether it is to travel, whether it is to set up business meetings and, or whether it's time for you to take that class or fall in love. All of these things I'm going to be talking about each and every day from the stars and the planets. So what I do, in case you don't know, is Vedic astrology, which is sidereal astrology and it's from India. And, and you might wonder why do I do Vedic sidereal astrology? Because it is the true placements of where the planets are astronomically. And because of this I feel like it really gives a new level of accuracy with astrology. So another thing that I do here is I am looking at everything relative to where the moon is because the Moon is the fastest moving planet in its prediction, pretty much the pointer in this chart to where all the other planets are processed. Now the Moon represents the public, the mind, the masses, the people. So wherever the moon is will give us huge indication of what we can expect day in to day out in our activities. So what I do is I'm pulling up each day and I'm going to tell you where the Moon is, where all the planets are relative to the moon as well as its Nakshatra. Remember that the moon's Nakshatras are part of Indian astrology, the lunar calendar, and they are so specific, their meanings are derived from the stars that they're located in those portions of the zodiac. So another thing I would love for you to tell me and in the messages down below in the comments where you live so I can get a better idea of how to gauge this. Because I'm in Central Standard Time, I'm here in Dallas, Texas and I know you may be in Australia or you may be in England and it's a different time. So please try to gauge where you are. But in the comments below, tell me where you are and maybe in the future I can start gauging this more according to where most people are viewing me from. So this is Central Standard Time. I know that in Australia it is the next day and it is going to be pretty much, I forgot how many hours different Australia is, but it's, it's quite a lot. And I think it's like, don't, don't.
Don'T get me on this. But I think it's about. It used to be 13 to 14 hours with, with Japan because I used to write for a Japanese website. So somewhere around in that, in that area and if you're in Europe, England is 6 hours, Central Europe is 7 hours ahead of me. Okay, so let's begin. I AM Looking at February 1st and February 1st is my favorite day of the month. This day is wonderful. Let me explain why the moon is going to be in Pisces and it is going to be in the Nakshatra Uttara Bhadrapada which that Nakshatra means the serpent of the deep, means depth, richness.
Nothing shallow about it. Taking things to why things are the way they are. Deep, deep resources, things that you question, why are we here? Those kind of questions. This is where the mind's at today. But on top of that the moon in Pisces sits with Neptune, Venus, Rahu and actually I'm Looking at about 3:3pm in the afternoon in Central Standard Time that the moon is exactly the same degree as Neptune, Venus and Rahu. All of the planets, moon, Neptune, Venus, Rahu are 3 degrees of Pisces at that time. Around 3:30 to be exact PM. So what does this represent for this day? This means this is a day of love. Venus rules love and attraction and beauty, creativity. This is a day for creativity for you to be using your talents but don't miss out on any social events because Venus rules social events, love, connections, beauty. And this is a Saturday here, Central Standard time. So there might be some parties, some celebrations go. You never know who you're going to meet. And if you're looking to fall in love, this would be the most romantic day of the month, maybe even the year to be honest with you. Because this Venus on this day is exalted, in other words, in Pisces is its most powerful position it can be in. So therefore it accentuates everything that Venus rules and what it's about. Love, beauty, harmony, peace.
The arts, music, painting, drawing, being creative. And most of all it does rule peace. And I just love Venus because it also deals with prosperity in the largest sense of the word. Because Venus rules the most, may I say, opulent wealth, whereas Jupiter rules wealth in and of itself and opportunities. So the reason why I brought Jupiter into this picture for this day and really throughout this time, all the way between now and mid May, Jupiter will be in Taurus while Venus will be all of that time in Pisces. Venus will be in Pisces actually all the way till June 1 about.
Because it's going to go retrograde. It's going to stay in that sign. Back and forth, back and forth. But my point is, Jupiter is in Venus's sign by being in Taurus and Venus is in Jupiter sign by being in Pisces. Yes, we use the old rulerships in Vedic astrology. So Jupiter also rules besides Sagittarius, Pisces. Now what does this mean? They exchange signs. This empowers these two planets remarkably. And both Jupiter and Venus rule money. So it is a time for investments. Venus will be bringing about great power through investments, stocks, Anything to do with increases in money? Yes, even cryptocurrency. All the things that you're thinking about investing in. Now is the time.
It couldn't be better. Now, Neptune being with Venus can make love and romance so romantic that it's like a fairy tale. But please be aware that it might be a fairy tale. In other words, don't be overly unrealistic with love, romance or anything in your life at this time. But Neptune also rules movies, it rules film, it rules things that look real but are not real. That's a movie. That's cameras, that's photography. So what I'm trying to say with all of this, there are going to be masterpieces of music coming out at this time. There are going to be or created during this time. And movies being filmed that will inspire and open our hearts. That's another thing I want to say about this. This is a time to open your heart. And Rahu expands everything. It makes it bigger than ever. So this is a day of love, romance, opportunities, money. This is my favorite day really of the year. And when I look to where Jupiter goes from Venus, it goes three placements, three signs. Jupiter being in Taurus, three signs away. So this gives opportunity for new learning, for new information, for travel. It's a good day for travel as well. Mars being in Gemini, though Mars is still retrograde. We've had to deal with this Mars for a long time. But I really do think that the Venus, Neptune, Rahu, moon on this day makes it the best day for falling in love, getting things done, money, wealth, all of the above. Go for it. So let me take you to the next day. Now I'm looking at February 2nd, which is a Sunday.
And February 2nd, the moon is still in Pisces, which is fantastic for Pisces is the sign of compassion, by the way. It's a very sensitive and feeling sign. And people with a lot of Pisces with in their chart really do feel deeply for others, and they're compassionate and loving. And the moon today is in Pisces, but it's in the Nakshatra called Revati. And Revati is the. The Nakshatra that deals with travel. So this is a great day for traveling. It's a day that you can look forward into the future. Being a visionary. Why do I say that? Because this is Pisces ruled by Jupiter. So Revati is one of the best Nakshatras. It's a positive Nakshatra for good things, such as the God of travels rules it. That's why I say it's a good day for travel. You are protected. But one more thing about the moon being in Revity, Revati rules small animals. And for those of you that love small animals, this would be the best day to donate money to, like the Humane Society. Do something good for animals. Adopt a pet. Do something for animals. Small animals and pets on this day. And still we do have Jupiter in the third from the moon. So it means that it's a good day for learning and traveling. Mars is in the fourth, so you might find that this is a day that maybe you want to renovate or change some things in your house. Be on the lookout, though, that things could be not going so well in the house. And because Mars is in Gemini, this deals with communications. Be aware that maybe your phones or technology may not be working, your televisions, computers in the home. So well. So be aware of this minor issue and problem. So let's jump to the next day, February 3.
And the moon moves over. This is a Monday central standard time. The moon moves into Aries today, and it will be in the Nakshatra called Ashwini. And Ashwini is the Nakshatra of fast movement and action. And yes, it even does rule travel as well. So. So these days are all good days for traveling. And I also want to make reference to the point that this first part of the month, all the way till the full moon on the 12th, are great days. They're moving forward, forward movement. Once we get to the full moon and we have the moon waning instead of waxing, it's not as good as the first part part of the month to begin and initiate new projects. Now, with the moon being in Aries, this is the sign of new beginnings. So the moon in Aries means it's time to start new projects, bring things out in the open that you've been wanting to do and move fast. You should be on the fast track right now because things are moving forward. Now Jupiter sits and in the second house from the moon. So this is a good day for making purchases, for going out, shopping and buying things. And it does mean that money will be coming in. It's a day of opportunities financially. But when I look to where all these planets are relative to the Moon, Venus, Rahu, Neptune, they go to the 12th house. What does that mean? Means people can come back from your past. Something about people and the past, and also pay attention to your dreams. You may have some old dreams about past relationships, love, things of that nature. Because this is the 12th, the past, and our dreams, our sleep cycle. So this is a time that great imagination, very vivid dreams. And it's also a time of deep intuition. Your intuitive powers will be so much stronger today than normal. Mars is in the third house, so be careful traveling. It's not a bad day. But it can mean that you're a little impatient and impulsive. So slow it down and you'll be fine. You'll be fine if you slow it down. The sun does go to the 10th house. So this is a good day for making plans, business wise, career wise, even asking for favors from your boss. This is what this day is good for. Now let's move forward to February 4th. And this is a Tuesday Central standard time. The moon is still in Aries today. It is in the Nakshatra called Bharani. Bharani is all about new beginnings. Its symbology is actually the baby about to be born in the uterus. So it deals with birthing process, new beginnings. It's breakthroughs, I want to say as well. But still Venus, Rahu, Neptune are in the 12th. So still pay attention to your dreams. You will have vivid dreams and people will visit you from your past. Maybe people on the other side that have passed on, you will have a dream about them. Be aware of that.
Now Jupiter still, all in all, is in the second house from the moon. And this is powerful for money, projects, making money and things of that nature. Now we have a special aspect going on today that is that Jupiter is and Mercury are in a trinal position. So this is actually. Actually this is February 3rd and 4th.
So it was the day before and today that Jupiter and Mercury are in a trinal aspect and that promotes traveling, that promotes moving forward. And it's time where your vision will be clear. You will have a clear vision. Actually, I could say it's February 3rd, that Jupiter and Mercury are exactly trying. But it's still in effect on the fourth. But these are all good days. I Want to say for traveling, as long as you do not make yourself in a hurry, because then, then you can get accident prone. But traveling and new visions, making plans for creative endeavors is the best during this time. Especially with the moon increasing in light. It's a quarter moon around this time.
Okay, so now I AM Looking at February 5 and February 5, we're looking at Wednesday. This is where Jupiter comes together with the moon. And this is the most powerful placement for the moon to be in Taurus. So today we have the moon, it leaves Aries. It's in Aries in the early part of the day. But around 3:30pm in Central Standard time, the moon will shift into Taurus and there it is in the Nakshatra called Kritika. Kritika is a sharp, pointed Nakshatra. Its symbol is actually a blade. So it's like on the blade it cuts, it gets to the point. And people that have a moon in Kritika definitely sharp and they get to the point. There is no kidding around with them. But this moon in Kritika deals with protection. And being exalted in the sign of Taurus is magnificent. This is a great day also, I must say, for getting things done because the moon is in its favorite position, conjunct Jupiter. Tomorrow is going to be even a better day because the moon aligns closer to Jupiter. So I'm talking about February 6, but February 5, while the moon is in Kritika. This is sharp. This is cutting. People are not going to take any nonsense today. They're going to be real and they're going to be very frank with everything they do and say. Now Mars is in the second house from the moon during this time.
Mars in the second house pretty much means you better watch what you say. And with the moon in Kritika, yes, people will attack you if you say the wrong thing. But think before you speak. Because when Mars is in the second house, the second house actually deals with second house from the moon. It deals with our speech, our mouth, what we say. And Mars means you're not thinking because you blurt things out. You. You say things you wish you hadn't. Just take it easy, pull back and think before you speak. So Venus and Rahu, though while the moon is in Taurus, they're in the 11th house from the moon. And Venus exalted with Rahu. This is a fantastic day to meet new people. It is a day for social events, coming together, parties, groups, organizations, meeting new friends. I love this. This is really what this is about. Interesting. And even Very spiritual people. You can meet them online, you can meet them at a party, but go be with people in some way. This is a fantastic configuration. Another thing that is kind of interesting for those of you that, that are looking to fall in love. You're looking for a partner, a partnership, dating. And this whole first week of February you might meet a foreigner. Why do I say that? Because Venus is conjunct Rahu this whole time. And Rahu is foreign people. So could be somebody foreign from another country, from another background or cultural heritage. But they will be fascinating and interesting to you. So it brings together people from unique and original far away interesting places. All right, so let us move up to Thursday, February 6th and I'm talking Central Standard Time around 3:30pm the moon is in Taurus. It is in its not only favorite sign where the moon is exalted, but its favorite Nakshatra Rohini. And the moon is going to exactly conjunct Jupiter on this day. This is one of the most blessed days. This is actually, remember I said the first was this magnificent day. This is actually better in many respects because today there's this spirituality that accompanies it. Jupiter is spiritual, the moon is enhanced by Jupiter. They come together. And let me just say this.
Because this is the day that I am beginning my University of Vedic Astrology Semester 1 class. I chose this day for class to begin because it is so auspicious. Auspicious means blessed. It is a day of blessings and goodness. And all those people, seriously that start my school on this day are blessed and good things will be happening. So hey, it's not too late to join UVA University of Vedic Astrology. And if you've always wanted to learn Vedic Astrology, this is the day to do it to start. Because remember, everything has a start. A birth chart when you begin a school that will depict your whole experience there. When you get married, that birthday depicts your whole marriage throughout your life. When you're born, when you start a business, even when you have a surgery, whether it'll be successful. That's planning according to the stars. It gives you an advantage. Why would you not want to do this? So I am looking at this day. It is magnificent. And Venus, Rahu, Neptune. In the 11th house you meet new interesting and foreign people. This is a social event to go to the school that I put together now Mars is in the second house, which can mean what? Be careful still what you're saying it be very.
Choose your words.
Patiently and diligently because that's what Mars in the second Means you must do. And the sun and Mercury are in the ninth house from the moon. This is spirituality, this is learning, this is higher learning. So Saturn is in the 10th house in Aquarius. So this means business, getting things done. This is a good day for you to do any of your business dealings. And anything, anything that you start today will develop and turn out the way you want. Because this is such a blessed day.
Now I'm looking at Friday.
February 7th. So this is the last day of this week that I'm going to talk about. Jupiter is together with the moon and they are in. They are both together in Taurus. But the moon is in the Nakshatra called Murugashira. What is Murugashira? The one who searches. It's like someone that's constantly searching, trying to find, find what they need, what they want. It's a journey. It is the hunt that's fun, that is a thrill. That's what Margashira is all about. Actually I always say Murgashira is kind of a great Nakshatra to go shopping because you're searching for that one thing, that one perfect outfit or shoes. And that's the thrill of finding it, completing whatever your search is all about. But of course we could take this much deeper into a mystical realm of searching for meaning in life. Now another thing this I'm looking at around 3:30 in the afternoon. The moon is in the last few degrees of Taurus. So it's going to be in Taurus almost all day till the evening. Probably in the almost late evening the moon will shift over into Gemini. But for the most part, Friday, February 7, it is in Taurus all day and it's close to Jupiter so it still gets that beautiful Jupiter aspect. And the moon being exalted in Taurus these three days really February.
Let'S see, February 5th, 6th and 7th. Fantastic days with the 6th being the most powerful because the moon is in its favorite Nakshatra and exactly conjunct Jupiter. So these three days are all about spirituality, learning, speaking and meeting very interesting people from other cultures and countries. This is amazing. So this pretty much covers the first week of February. Now I want to remind everyone about uva. How can you sign up for it?
