Hi, I'm Joni Patry, and welcome to my YouTube channel. Well, today I want to talk about the month of July, and I have been talking about this month throughout the entire year. This month is going to be spectacular. There are so many events happening. Seriously, this month is a giant turning point, and events are going to be radical. There are going to be major highs and major lows. I'm not just talking about spectacular in a positive way, but talking about it in a pretty shocking way, but the end result, I can assure you, is positive. Let me get into this and tell you all about what you can expect for this remarkable month of July. So we're starting out the month with Mercury retrograde because Mercury turned retrograde the very end of June, actually June 29th. And on that same day that Mercury turned retrograde, we have Mars right at the midpoint of Rahu and Ketu. Now that adds to the confusion. We all know what Mercury retrograde does— it makes for confusion with everything that Mercury rules, which is what? Communications and connections to people. So it deals with anything dealing with technology because this is how we connect through phones, through internet, through computers, through television, and even how we connect through travel. All of these things will be out of control as usual during the retrograde. And remember too, when Mercury is retrograde, it does play on our minds where we become more forgetful. We don't remember things, and things get messed up because we aren't thinking clearly. So during this Mercury retrograde, it's going to turn retrograde in Cancer, but then it'll retrograde and spend most of the retrograde time in Gemini. And Gemini is the sign that deals with communications, so there is going to be even mass media that will actually come to the forefront, and we will see some major awakenings in terms of the things that we are being told. And right away it's going to seem very odd, but the things that are going to come out of this, probably with all of the brewing scandals that have been going on, seems like forever, but throughout this year for sure. So everything to do with technology and social media will be a mess. Let me just tell you that. And there will be major highs and lows during this time, but I still want you to know the results of this month are going to be amazing because I have never seen a month with more spectacular and powerful energy occurring. So as I said, there's going to be major ups and downs And because of Mars being at the midpoint of Rahu-Ketu, there will be violence, there will be anger, there will be upsets. As I said, June was the month to relax. This is the month where it all heats up again. It seems like we'll never get a break. People are so angry and violent and so many people are alienating one another, it's going to be a long time if we can even see in the foreseeable future when peace will come. But we're working on it. So let's talk about July 4th. This is the Fourth of July. This is the biggest celebration in a long time. It's a 250-year celebration for Independence Day for the United States, and in Washington, D.C., they have some big events planned. But as usual, things won't go as planned. It can't. Why? Because Mars on that day is conjunct Uranus, and they will be conjunct at 9 degrees of Taurus, which is still in the nakshatra Krittika. Krittika is a sharp and hostile nakshatra. It deals with— let me just say, its symbol is a knife or a razor. So it's sharp, it's cutting, it's shocking. So Uranus, which is the planet of sudden unexpected events And Mars is action and can be very violent. Don't forget, planets in the sign of Taurus are in the Pleiades, and the Pleiades is a very— I mean, difficult place for Mars to be. So this will cause upsets on this day, things will not go as planned. But I think I've been made aware that some of the events on this day in the White House deal with fighting. I think it's wrestlers or fighters that are going to be fighting each other. I could have thought of a much better way to celebrate the Fourth of July. If it were my choice. This just doesn't seem— well, it seems apropos for the consciousness of human beings on the planet right now. But so maybe this Mars-Uranus and the fighting deals with what's going on at the White House, but it is going to be a bit shocking. And another thing that's going on during this time not only this day but the entire month, is that Rahu is conjunct the Moon in the United States chart that I use. And this only happens once every 18 and a half years, very rare. And the Moon represents the public, the people, and Rahu is another indicator of shocks and changes and difficulties. Now, in the United States chart that I use, the Moon does sit in the 3rd house, and the 3rd house deals with communications. And boy, has that been hostile and mixed up. So many things going on, we don't know what to believe. But another thing the 3rd house rules is airplanes and travel. And if there are any events around the White House that involve aerial events such as airplanes, this could be a problem. And throughout this whole month, aside from the celebration on the 4th of July, we could have some kind of problems with aviation. So be aware of that. Now, July July 7th, Neptune will turn retrograde. And I always make a note when planets turn retrograde because that means they're standing still. So basically the whole month of July Neptune is stationed. Neptune deals with deception, deceit, denials, illusions, and cults. So all of these things are rampant right now. You can't believe anything that's out there. And especially with AI, boy, does it make it difficult to see the truth. But I want you to know that the date that I've been referring to repeatedly over time has been July 22nd. And the reason why is that there is this grand sextile of planets, all 60 degrees from each other, all 10 degrees. On that day, we have Pluto 10 degrees Capricorn, Neptune at 10 degrees of Pisces, Uranus at 10 degrees of Taurus, and Jupiter at 10 degrees of Cancer. And there are amazing formations forming at this time. We have Uranus is in a exact trine to Pluto. We have Neptune trining Jupiter, and we have most of all Pluto is opposed Jupiter. This configuration will shift awareness and consciousness on the planet. And yes, many people will resist it because people don't like change. But this will shift the collective unconscious on the planet. The 3 outer planets rule the collective unconsciousness, and for them to be in this exact configuration to one another is so profoundly meaningful. This means people awareness, the planet is changing. And I have to say, because of this, it has to mean that something extraordinarily dramatic is coming out to shift the consciousness. And the thing that comes to my mind the very most is the government, the US government, coming out and recognizing we're not alone. Now, all of us that are watching this pretty much believe that already, but you have no idea how many people in the world don't believe it, and it will shock them. Yes, many of them are going to say it's AI. Many of them are going to say it's not real, it's, you know, they're making this up to get people's attention to look elsewhere. All All sorts of crazy things are going to come out. But what I believe can come out of this is if we really come together and connect with a higher intelligence from other worlds, they can help us evolve, especially with health and disease and our technology. We have to be open to this, but it frightens me that the low consciousness on the planet is why these— this alien life is staying away. We are so violent. I mean, even on the Fourth of July, the entertainment are people fighting each other. It's almost like the Colosseum in Rome. What is this? This is— we are not a peaceful world. Hopefully one day we will be, but we are not at this point. And by the way, this aspect with, with the 4 planets all in a sextile is extremely rare. I couldn't even find a time when it happened before. It is so unusual. So this is a new revelation. The world is going to change and wake up. This is the month. And let me tell you a little bit about the lunations this month because they are shocking as well. And I know that many people use that word shocking as clickbait on their videos, but this is shocking what I'm about to talk about. And the first lunation will be July 14th. This is when we have the new moon, and this new moon will occur in Gemini. Yes, I'm a Vedic sidereal astrologer, and what I want you to know is these are the true placements of where the planets are in the heavens.

It is in the nakshatra Purnavasu, which means return of the light, and that's exactly what will be starting to happen because we're coming to the spectacular time period. And essentially the whole month, these 3 planets, outer planets, are in this aspect. It's just that they're exact on the 22nd of July, but the whole month is really flavored by this. And furthermore, on this New Moon, I noticed there was another thing going on. Venus happens to be 10 degrees right there in Leo, and it's forming a yod with Neptune and Pluto. And this yod— yods are called the finger of God. Venus is the planet of peace. Venus is the planet of relationships and prosperity. So looking at Venus In a yod, something has to change, and something will be changing around this time that's going to shift everything as we know it in this world. So, and even your own personal relationships are changing, changing at this time. Be aware because you will feel this energy. It's profound. Another thing is this can be very political. This can deal— of course it's going to deal with politics. Everything's about politics these days. But I say that because Venus is going to be in Leo. Leo is the sign of kings and leaders and politics. So there's something about political leaders because a Yod represents something that needs to change, that something needs to change. And maybe there, there will be an event that shifts the energy so that things will change to try to work out issues around peace. Now another thing is, even on July 22nd, I noticed that the Sun will be in an aspect to Rahu. So this is another indication of kings and leaders and politics that are shifting throughout the middle of July. Now, July 23rd is the day that Mercury turns direct. I hope you all are still listening through this entire video because I've got lots more to tell you. Mercury direct, things will start to move forward. But here is what's so interesting: Mercury turns direct at 22 degrees of Gemini, which is actually the Sun in the United States chart. This is spectacular. This means there's a new awakening in information that's coming into the United States. And this can mean like finally some real truths are coming about. Wait and see. There is a huge turning point as, as Mercury turns direct, and this is July 23rd. Now let's talk about July 26th. Saturn turns retrograde. This means that Saturn is stationing the entire month, and this will be phenomenal because anyone that's been getting away with illegal things or lying or cheating, they will have to pay the price. That's why Saturn is karma. And when it stations, it exemplifies and magnifies everything Saturn's about, which is responsibility, which is karma, which is reality. So anything unrealistic, people are going to have to change and open up and get real. This is Saturn. I love that. But this is an amazing time. Saturn will station at 20 degrees of Pisces, and that goes to anyone that has planets in Pisces or Virgo. They're still having heavy effects, and especially with Saturn stationing. We'll get to that in the monthly sign predictions. So this is all heavy duty going on, and there's more because— let me get to the full moon. Oh my gosh, that full moon is going to blow your mind. It blew my mind to see what was going on with this full moon. So when is the full moon? July 29th. I have never seen a full moon like this. I'm, I'm not kidding you, you, uh, this is dramatic because here's what the situation is. Of course, you know, a full moon is when the sun and the moon are in opposition to one another, but a full moon is also when it brings things to light, because think about the darkness of the sky is illuminated by this full moon. This full moon is conjunct Pluto. Pluto is power, Pluto is transformation, but it opposes the Sun, and the Sun is exactly conjunct Jupiter. So we have a full moon with Jupiter Sun opposing it, lighting up this Moon. And it is said that when a planet is exactly conjunct the Sun, it is called 'cassimi.' And cassimi is only when a planet is within a degree or less than a degree with the Sun. And here's the situation: when planets get close to the Sun, They get burnt. The sun is too bright. It weakens them. It's called combustion. So actually, Jupiter, which is so high-powered in the sign of Cancer— it's a sign of exaltation. This is powerful in and of itself. This is an amazing time. But when the sun comes into Cancer which is basically around July 17th through August 16th. Yes, I'm a sidereal Vedic astrologer. This is not Western tropical astrology. But this means the closer that Jupiter comes to the Sun, and not being exactly the same degree of the Sun, it becomes weaker. So the powers of Jupiter are weakened by the Sun this month, except for the day that it's Cassini, which is a couple of days, about 3 days, that Jupiter is exactly aligned with the Sun, and it's during this full moon, July 29th. Pretty amazing. Now there's another variable going on. I'll go over this in greater detail on the new and full moon dates, but I have to tell you now because I was astounded. The moon forms an Adi Yoga, and you've heard me talk about this if you've listened to my videos before, but this Adi Yoga is exceptional because it's when the three benefics— Mercury, Venus, and Jupiter— Jupiter are in the 6th, 7th, or 8th house from the Moon, any combination. And on this day, Mercury will be 6th from the Moon, Jupiter will be 7th from the Moon, and Venus will be 8th from the Moon. Adi Yoga is incredibly auspicious. Now, the fact that the Sun is with Jupiter can kind of temper it somewhat but it is still an Adiyoga, and it actually means power and positive, beautiful, incredible energy that is transforming the world due to some leadership. This is the definition of an Adiyoga, and the fact that Jupiter is exactly conjunct the Sun. The Sun is leaders, rulers. There's some kind of saving grace that happens at this time. It's really amazing. Another thing I have noticed when Jupiter is kasimi the Sun, the stock market goes wild. It goes up. It does. Of course, it's, you know, the minute it gets on the other side and it's being burnt by the sun. You know, it's temporary, but it's like, like I said, this whole month everything is up and down like a roller coaster. Because you're going to say, well, she said this was good, but it's bad, and then it's good, and then it's crazy. This is like a roller coaster ride this month. But wake up and see what's going to be happening. This full moon will bring a new awareness, a new world. And I— did I say new moon? I meant to say full moon. Full moon. Okay, but here is another thing. The moon will be in Capricorn in the nakshatra called Shravana, and Shravana is the listener. And it deals with learning. So it is a very positive nakshatra. It is with Pluto, so controls of leaders around the world. This is pretty astounding. Now I noticed another thing going on on this day that adds and makes the day more complicated. Mars will be exactly squaring Venus. Okay, so I noticed they're exact, and basically Venus deals with— it can deal with females, and Mars aspect to it, there's going to be some angry women out there. And it also can deal with peace. So there's been some attempts for peace but too much is happening in the world. It's not going to stick. And there's a lot more to come in the next few months. But luckily, down the road, when Venus goes retrograde— and I think it's going to be in November— there's going to have to be some major events that have to be in effect because things are getting out of control. But I want you to know, with the higher consciousness consciousness, the collective consciousness that's shifting in the world. This is going to make a better world. And it's almost like all the things that are dark and dirty and difficult and just not good in the world are being shaken out right now. That's why it's become so chaotic and intense and crazy during this month, and it will continue to get even crazier. But I want you to know, we are being touched divinely, individually, because this higher consciousness affects us all, not only, only collectively but individually. This is an awakening, and you know Uranus is called the Great Awakener. And it is involved in this massive sextile of the outer planets. Pluto is transformation, Uranus is the great awakener, and Neptune is the deep spirituality. All of these things are awakening in all of us. And I will say this, after this month with everything that's happening, you on a personal level will feel different. I promise you, this is a fact. Furthermore, you will feel different about the world because after all of these events take place and transpire, the world will be radically different. And we need to learn to accept the change that in a sense feels very uncomfortable. Nobody feels comfortable when they're in a huge radical change in life, but like I said before, it is like a birthing process, and once it's complete we have a new world. But I want you to know that these shifts and changes are going to be intense, and many will reject these changes. But even though it's going to be unsettling, chaotic, difficult, this month marks the turning point of no return. So this is monumental. Get ready, I know you are, and accept and embrace the beautiful changes and awakenings in consciousness, because this is the time. The planet is changing. It has to change. The only problem is— are going to be those that reject it and rebel. And that's where the chaos comes in. So keep your mind level and straight and aware, and don't be influenced by the shocking negativity that's around. And know that this is the turning point of no return. All right, so with that, I think I'll close. And here's one thing I never ask you guys to do— to subscribe to my channel. I've never asked anyone to do that, but when you have people subscribe, it gives you more opportunity to do more work to make the channel better. So I hear everyone else on their channel begging and pleading people to subscribe. I'm politely asking you, if you're not subscribed to my channel, do so now. And with that, if you want to learn more about me, go to my website galacticcenter.org. And if you want to try our app, you will love it, go to galacticplanner.com, as well as my universe You will love our university. If you love astrology, you will love it.
