Weekly Predictions August 15 -21 2023: Floods and Storms

Foreign.

Hi, I'm Joni Petrie and welcome to my YouTube channel. Well, today I'm going to cover the next week of August and we are talking about August 15th through the 20th, 21st in detail what you can expect each day based on the transit of the moon and its signs, Nakshatras and all of the other planetary transits that are happening now. Remember, if you want this all written out, these transcripts delivered to your email address, go to my website and sign up for my free newsletter. You can have all of this weekly delivered to your email address to remember how to have guidance through the stars weekly. So I'm going to go day by day here.

And I do want you to remember, sign up for my free newsletter. But also when you're at my website, check out all the classes and things I have going on my magazine, monthly magazine interviews and articles that will entertain you for a month. The other thing is my Shooting stars, one of my favorite classes. It empowers people on their spiritual journey and we give all sorts of tools for manifestation. And don't forget, if you want to study Vedic astrology with me, you can go to my university website and all online self paced classes. So my website is galactic center.org university is universityofvedicastrology.com so now let's talk about August 15th in greater detail. So August 15th, this is an interesting day. The moon will be very dark. It's the day before the new moon. So this is a dark moon, a very, very introspective time. The moon is in the sign of cancer and it is in Pusha.

The Nakshatra of protection. Now it kind of overlaps where it's in Pusha and then you're going to find that it's going to go into a slatia this day. So we've got the moon going into a slash.

And when it does, a salacia is the symbol is the snake. So it's very sneaky. And you know, in this dark moon, I wouldn't plan this day for anything that I wanted to manifest. Big events such as business deals or meetings. No, I would lay low. The dark moon is not for that. Plus it's in a slat show, which can be a tricky Nakshatra, dealing with sneaky people. Be aware, it's kind of, you know, it's kind of what it sounds like, a snake, snake in the grass. Although it is a good time for intellectual work, but by yourself. And another thing is that's pretty nice about this day. That adds a better quality to it is the fact that the moon will conjunct Venus and that gives a good feel. Moon Venus is beauty. Appreciation for beauty, color, design. You know, it might be a time that you might be more creative because in that darkness you know what can come out. Great creations. But it is a dark moon. It's not the day to start new things. So remember that Jupiter Rahu are in the 10th house from the moon this day. So it is a day for business and work. But do it alone and do it. Don't start anything new. Especially since the moon is in a slatia.

Okay, let's talk about August 16th. August 16th, the moon. This is the new moon. And this is a gigantic new moon. Let me tell you why. Because this new moon, it happens at 29 degrees of cancer. And this 29 degree of cancer moon is.

Gandanta. There's storms, things are revving up, there's crazy things happening. And all at the same time. This new Moon, that's when the sun, the Moon come together the same exact degree. It's going to be 29 degrees. They're in a square to Uranus. And Uranus is the planet of sudden unexpected events. Expect the unexpected today. And with the new Moon, the being in Cancer. Gandanta, I said expect storms and I mean literal storms. This could be hurricane season. Intense things are revving up and brewing. But this is also figuratively you can expect all sorts of storms. People will be out of their minds, pretty much losing control. But since it's at 29 degrees.

Right after this new moon, that happens early in the morning. So pretty much it happens Central time around or Eastern standard time, around 5:30 in the morning. This means that an hour afterwards we're going to get the moon out of Cancer and the Moon after the new moon occurs. So pretty much I'd say the 15th and the 16th are going to be days of out of control events occurring. But.

Be cautious, lay low. But this new moon starts a new seed for a whole new cycle to come. And another thing is the Moon will move into Leo this day on the 16th.

And it will be in the Nakshatra called Magga, which is the Nakshatra that deals with rulership kings. So you're going to see a big turnover today. And when the moon goes into Leo, which will be most of the day of August 16th, it's going to be powerful. It's going to be a big shift, a big change. Probably after the storms are calmed down. But the storms will really rev up between the 15th and 16th August. So another thing is August 16th there's some other things happening that are very important and that is that Uranus is actually sending a perfect trine to Mars. So things, because of all of the storms and the upsets, things are moving along and happening really quickly. There are, they're in top gear I think during this time. So use this time to plant new seeds for something new. Get away from losing control to getting in control. That's what I see. So on the 16th we will have the moon will be in Leo and it will still be pretty much in Maga and and then I see it moving into Purva Falguni and by the August 17th we're going to have the Moon in Purva Falguni in Leo. That is. So while it's here though, realize that the Moon is going to be opposing Saturn and on the 17th there will be a heaviness I think from the advent of what's occurred from the few days prior to this. So the Moon in Purva Falguni is all about creative ideas, self expression.

But all at the same time it's heavy. Why? Because the Moon is opposing Saturn and things seem to be serious and a lot heavier for everyone involved around this time. So there's going to be some big shifts in leadership around this time as as the Moon will be conjunct, I mean oppose Saturn. But here's another interesting thing. On the 17th of August the sun will shift finally into Leo and this is we're going to see things heat up and change in relationship to leader leadership and government affairs are going to start going through a big transition as the Moon is in Leo and the sun will finally go into Leo. So the Moon and the sun are kind of traveling together but still the Moon is on the other side where we have, it's past the new moon by the 17th but the sun and the Moon are in the same sign. So, so the seed is planted. Things are changing globally, especially around leadership and governments.

August 18 Mars will enter into Virgo. And as I've been saying the whole time that Mars entering into Virgo is going to be the time of get ready. Fear is going to infiltrate from everywhere concerning pandemics or viruses. It could just be a really bad flu season that's starting up or there can be the virus coming back or you know, there's always seems to be a mutation and of course the media is going to hype it up and scare everyone to death. People are going to be afraid of another lockdown. I don't think it's going to happen, but there's still that fear of what we don't know. And this is going to be the time, the whole time that Mars is in Virgo, that it's going to initiate. But as soon as Mars enters Virgo, remember, Virgo is the sign of health and healing.

And when it goes here, there can be some fears about health and healings. But you know what, there's going to be a lot of traction going forward trying to find cures for disease. Also while Mars is in Virgo, it will be in Virgo from August 18 till October 3. So watch for that. This whole period will be a scare about viruses and things like that. And all at the same time. On August 18, the moon will go from Leo to Virgo. So you've got the Moon right behind Mars, coming up upon Mars. They're both going to be in Virgo. So around this time, watch the news about healing and health. All those things are going to be a big. That's what everyone's going to be talking about and it's going to be a big scare. Don't let it affect you. Another reason why I think the Moon and Mars being here are critical are because there is a yard being formed between the Moon and, you know, the sign Virgo where Moon and Mars are during this time there is a yod. Yods are the finger of God. It's like there's all this karmic destiny stuff approaching. And we feel it, we sense it, we know it, it's happening. So the moon during August 18 will conjunct Mars towards the evening and the Jupiter, Rahu, they go to a 6, 8 relationship. This is not an easy day at all. So be aware that August 18th is critical. So let's move on. And now we're going to be looking at August 19th. So August 19th.

The sun will go into a position where it's going to be in a trine to Rahu. So this is like Rahu and the sun are conjunct. This is the mark of sun, something powerful happening with leadership and government with the Sun. The sun represents rulers and with Rahu's trine, this is some big jump or extreme with some political leader around the world. But something they might be saying may scare people and it will resonate with the masses. People are going to start coming under control here.

Something a leader saying may impress the people to start listening to what they have to say. It could be helpful to humanity. I'm just afraid of all the other aspects going on at this time that it looks like they're scaring people, scaring people into listening. Now, on August 19, the moon will move in. It's in the sign of Virgo and it's going to move into the Nakshatra Hasta, which is a hand, which means to grasp and hold on to things. So people are really searching for.

Meaning and depth in things. And Hasta is the, is a Nakshatra that deals with great intelligence. And so there's going to be this holding on of intelligence. It's also a difficult place still for while the Moon is in Virgo. So.

Watch what's going on, take care of yourself and most of all, watch your health, take your vitamins, exercise, get rest, do everything to strengthen your immune system during this time.

So now let's talk about August 20th. August 20th, the sun is in a quincunx to Neptune. Quincunx is a 6, 8 relationship, or 8, 6. This is very difficult. The sun is leadership. So it's telling me there's some kind of deep deception going on. There are problems with leaders and there's also problems going on particularly around health and healing. Once again, I think this is really starting up with a lot of fear and the fear of disease coming upon us. So health concerns and fear with the masses are really stepping up now. And don't pay attention to the media. It's not as bad as they're telling you. Just remember I said that early evening, the Moon will still be in Virgo, but it's going to shift out of hasta on the 20th into chitra. And Chitra is ruled by Mars. So this makes it even more intense. The Moon being in Chitra, it's powerful, it's intense, and I think there's going to be a lot of fear. Okay, so let's talk about August 21st. Jupiter will be squaring Venus from 21 degrees of Aries, 21 degrees of Cancer. And this particularly could be good for business because Jupiter, Venus, together, they're both benefics and they can make things happen on a business sense. But I say this is a time to really appreciate your loved ones, your family, your relationships, your partner. Give them the appreciation and love that they deserve, be more sensitive to what they they need and be appreciative of everything you have, especially with your loved ones and all that they have done for you. This is a good day to give thanks, to come from a place of gratitude. And another thing is the Moon will be in Chitra for most of the day and it will be shifting so the moon at some point during the 21st will be shifting and it will be in Chitra, but it will be in Libra. So the moon's going to be mainly in Libra today on August 21st. But what does that mean? Means it's going to conjunct Ketu. And moon Ketu is critical.

Because the moon Ketu is some kind of loss. There's deep sense of loss going on. And Mars is going to be 12th to this. So all sorts of fear and things are still pending during this time. The moon being in Libra, in Chitra is in tense conjunct Ketu. And you might even find that usually, not all the time, but usually when the moon does go into the sign that K2 is in, the stock market usually drops somewhat. You'll see this, but all at the same time. While the moon is in Libra, which it's just entered libra on the 21st, you're going to find that the Moon and Venus are in what we call Parivartana, mutual exchange of signs. And this uplifts the Moon and Venus. It's pretty much like you have Venus in Libra and the Moon in Cancer. So this makes it very intense for love, relationships and bringing things together. I love that Parivartana, but I don't like the moon conjunct Ketu because that is sort of like a deep sense of loss.

So that wraps it up for the week of August through the.

21St. I'll be starting next week with August 22nd. Thank you.
