Hi, I'm Joni Petrie and welcome to my YouTube channel. Well, now I'm going to go over the second week in August.

And if you want to study Vedic astrology, go to my university website. So my personal website is galacticcenter.org my university website is universityofvedicastrology.com so let's talk about August 8th. What can we expect? August 8th, the moon is in Aries and it will be in Kritica for the most part till later on in the evening. Later on in the evening, the moon will shift into Taurus. But while it's in kritika on the 8th, you can expect people to be very protective, very protective of others and feel the need to stand up and be strong and express what they are really feeling. Because remember, Kritika is the Nakshatra that's ruled by the sword. So people don't, I mean, they cut to the chase during this time. So be aware, you're going to feel very, you're going to feel a lot stronger. It's a time that you can really stand up for yourself and protect others that you care about. So later on, on that evening, of course, depending on where you are in the world, the moon will shift into Taurus and you'll find that that's going to be a much easier energy because Taurus is the sign that the moon is exalted in. Although it's still for the most part going to be in Kritika. Kritika is still a really strong, determined cutthroat Nakshatra. So that covers pretty much what to expect for the day of August 8th. Now when we get to. Let's talk about August 9th, August 9th. Uranus is in an exact square to Venus during this time. Venus of course is retrograde, but they are both at 29 degrees. And Venus being 29 degrees of cancer is Gandanta, which Venus ruling love affairs and relationships. You can expect those to be a little bit out of control. Especially since Venus is in a hard square aspect to Uranus. Sudden unexpected events around relationships and love will shift like unexpectedly and that's going to be a problem. So lay low, don't expect the unexpected. Especially in relationships and with partnerships this can be critical. Another thing that's happening this day, of course the moon is in Taurus. And Taurus is the moon's favorite place to be. So it feels like this is a day that you're very sensual and very into the senses such as food, such as love. Everything that spikes your and makes your senses much more acute, I'll say. Halfway through the day though, the moon will shift from Kritika into Rohini. And the Moon is favorite place is Rohini. It's exalted in Taurus, but Rohini is the best place for the moon to be. So this shifts the energy halfway through the day, makes it a lot more positive. And Venus though, remember it's still in that hard aspect, but it's leaving pretty much. But it's in a hard aspect to Uranus. So watch relationships on this day you'll be feeling it, but things will have a sudden shift in surprise that will not be so pleasant during that day. But I'll tell you something else interesting. Venus, the Moon. The whole time that the moon is in Taurus, which it changes halfway today into Taurus, the Moon and Venus sit in Parivartana, meaning Venus being in Cancer is ruled by the Moon and the Moon being in Taurus is ruled by Venus. So that exchange of signs does soften it up. And and I think even though Uranus is causing this upset, this can be easily healed. And maybe there's going to be a great lesson concerning relationships that can teach you how to behave and heal and make your relationships better in the future.
So another thing that's still going on on August 9th that puts another bent into things is the fact that this day Jupiter is in a trine to Mercury and Jupiter trining. Mercury is a good time for travel. So you think about taking those trips. It's a good time for this. Also Jupiter's aspect To Mercury will give clearer vision, you will see things more clear. You're a visionary during this day and your communication skills are much clearer and better. So a lot is going on on the 9th of August. Now, August 10th is significant because the moon is going to. It's going to change in the evening on August 10 to Murugashira. So Marigashira is the Nakshatra of searching inside seeking. So halfway, pretty much halfway through this, through this day, it will go into Mergeshira closer to the evening if you're in central time zone. So Morigashira is about searching and seeking. But I love that the Moon and Venus are still in Parivartana the whole time that the moon is in Taurus and it's going to be in Taurus for most of this day. So the Moon Venus exchange means it's a great day to really to go shopping, to find things that you are really searching for. With the moon being in this Nakshatra and love matters will. Even though Venus is still retrograde and we're learning a lot about love, this exchange of signs brings out the beauty in things where you will see the beauty. You will. You will understand how people are feeling and reflect on that. It is a good day for, you know, anything that deals with beauty and buying things of beauty, clothes, makeup, hair products, anything that deals flowers with beauty. So let's Talk now about.
August 11th. August 11th, the moon is still in Morigashira, but it's going it. It has the Jupiter. Jupiter is in the 11th house from the Moon. So this is a great time to meet with friends to get better acquainted with people. And it's also a great time for still searching and seeking things.
So I'm seeing where there is so much to get done. Marikashira, by the way, is ruled by Mars, meaning action moving forward and passion. So this is a day of great passion. But coming together with friends is definitely. You could meet some influential people this day because Jupiter and Rahu actually sit in the 11th from the moon. So go to meetups, meet people. This is a time that you can communicate well because on August 11.
The moon is still in Mirageshira for part of the day. But it's going to shift into the sign of Gemini. August 11th. And that's another reason why there's going. This is a great day, August 11, for coming together with people, talking with people, communications and meetups with groups. So that's for August 11th.
Now August 12th.
The moon is still in Gemini, but it's going to shift into Ardra. And Ardra is a harsh Nakshatra. So things get a little bit more intense on the 12th. And what you're going to find is Jupiter still is in the 11th house from the moon, but Venus sun realize this, are in the second house from the moon. But another thing is if the moon is in Gemini, it is really going into a dark phase of the moon. And in Ardra feelings become more intense and more critical. It's kind of a day where you're looking inward more or you should be looking inward more because the more you force things to look out, you're going to be very, very confused. So here's another thing that I see happening by on August 13. On August 13, Venus is going to exactly conjunct the sun. Now we've been talking about that Venus being together with the sun is combust. So really this whole month you're talking about Venus combusts the sun. Because the whole month Venus is in the sign of of cancer. And it's retrograde the whole month. So combust the sun. You're going to find there's lots of issues with relationships. You're really struggling and working hard to get things to come together. Tiptoe around this area and realize the things that are happening are great lessons in relationships. But Venus being conjunct the sun on this day only August 13th, it is what we call Cassimi. And it's almost like this one day you avoid the combustion. Only this day and what happens is the sun and Venus merge and become one. And in that merging of becoming one, the sun is emitting the energy and the light of Venus. So it is a great day to get things done concerning beauty products, buying clothes. But only this day you'll find that your powers of attraction are definitely stronger and more powerful. So now let us go to August 14th.
And the moon is still in cancer.
But it is a very dark moon because it is behind the moon and it is approaching the new moon. But while the moon sits in the sign behind the sun, it's called a dark moon. And so for August 14th, it's dark, introspective. It's a time for deep introspection. And the moon being in Cancer, what does that mean? It's a time that you feel that you need to be nurtured, that you feel like you need more protection. So you know, it's kind of a time to lay low, to get some stuff done by yourself. Don't be trying to work with others because you're not seeing it. You're in the dark, let me put it that way. And Venus.
After the 13th it is severely combust the sun on the 14th and on the 14th the moon will be in the Nakshatra. Pusha. Pusha is the Nakshatra that deals with nurturing and protection. So take it easy, be good to yourself, comfort yourself, do the things that feel comforting in healing for yourself and and realize it's a good day for deep dark introspection as to what you're feeling about yourself. It's very psychological day. Don't try to make a lot of sense with communicating with other people. You're not going to understand them, they're not going to understand you. So keep it low, low key and be more introspective and spend some time alone. It's a great day for reading and learning, but by yourself. Okay, so that covers the week between August 7th through the 14th. So with that I'll close. Thank you.
