Why August 1–7 Feels So Unstable: Jupiter Combust and Mars in Gemini | Vedic Insight

Hi, I'm Joni Patry, and welcome to my YouTube channel. Well, now I'm here to talk about the month of August. I'm going to be talking about the first week of August. But let me give you a little update of what we're looking forward to in the month of August. This is the month that we have the solar and lunar eclipse. Eclipses are the most powerful tool we have as astrologers for prediction. So you're going to see a lot happening this month, especially concerning earthquake and seismic activity around the Earth, particularly, um, Earth changes and severe weather. Weather. So that's what we're looking at this month. But what I'm focusing in on is the Moon, because the Moon is the fastest moving planet in the sky, and it does represent the public, the people, the masses. So the Moon is emotion, and as we chart where the Moon is going relative to all the other planets we're going to get the sense of what people are feeling around the world. So I'm in Dallas, Texas, and I am in Central Time. So wherever you are, adjust your time to where I am each day. And it'd be fun if in the comments down below you tell me where you are. So I'm covering this first week, but remember This is where the planets are moving in the sky. So you're going to want to know how these planets are affecting you personally, not just globally, because that's what I'm able to do right now. But personally, if you want to know this, you're going to want to get the Galactic Planner. The Galactic Planner takes your personal chart and then looks at where all these transits are and how it's going to affect you personally in your life. If this is an interest that you want to know, please go check out my Galactic Planner. Go to galacticplanner.com. So let's get going. Let's talk about this first week. I'm looking at Saturday, August 1st, and the Moon today sits in Aquarius, and it is— it has already passed over Rahu, but this is an intense place for it to be. 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. Its symbol is a man with two faces looking into the future and the past. This is profound. People are feeling this deep change in humanity because Aquarius is the sign of 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, they don't move, so it's like they're stationing. And Rahu is 5 degrees Aquarius and Ketu is 5 degrees of Leo. And that 5 degrees of Leo I've been talking a lot about because Leo, number one, is a sign of leaders. 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. I have kind of looked at it in terms of when other planets come together with Ketu, but sincerely, it's the whole month that radical changes are happening globally with world leaders. Okay, so looking at this, let's move this forward. Oh, another thing that's happened today is Venus just entered into Virgo. This broke the kala sarpa yoga. And that's when all the planets— outer planets don't count here— when all the planets are on one side of Rahu and Ketu, it's a time of extremes, of entrapment, things that must happen in order to change the future. It's almost like it's a time of destiny. But now that Venus has broken and it's on the other side of where Rahu and Ketu are. Things will be clearer and easy to make decisions with. It's not that we're entrapped in any kind of karmic situations anymore. We're more free, free rolling into the future. So another thing that's happening right around now is Jupiter is combust the Sun. It is too close to the Sun. Weakening Jupiter's power to protect us, to do well. And once it gets like at least 10 degrees from the Sun, then it will be released of this, this problem of weakening, being too close to the Sun. So now I'm looking at Sunday, August 2nd, and on this day I'm really looking at the fact that the Moon just shifted into Pisces, and with it being in Pisces, it crossover Neptune. Neptune is airy, it's, it's, you know, where you're not focused, it's where you can't see things clearly. So be aware. Now the Moon is opposing Venus today, and this can also mean that choices you make in relationships— be careful because I don't like the Moon on Neptune. It's really a day to go to the movies and just space out. Don't do— don't make any decisions today. Now, another big event just happened. Mars just moved into Gemini today. So we've got Mars in Gemini, Mercury's still there, but Mercury's moving forward, it's not retrograde anymore. Mars and Mercury are in the same sign, wide orb, so it does make people a little bit more contentious, let me say that. And I do happen to know that Mars being 0 degrees today Gemini, I know that in the United States chart that I use, Mars is 0 Gemini. So things are really starting to heat up. There's anger, there's hostility in the air in the United States at this time, now that Mars has just shifted into Gemini and Venus yesterday just shifted into Virgo. So Mars is aspecting Venus really, um, on the 1st and the 2nd of August, and that's intense. And Venus being in Virgo, as I said, is not so good for relationships. Let's move to August 3rd. This is Monday, and with this we have the Moon is the whole day is in Gemini— I mean, in Pisces. And it is in the nakshatra Revati. Revati is great for travels. The Moon is coming together with Saturn today, which can make it a heavy influence, not feeling so happy and uplifted. People are a little bit down and out, a little depressed. I'm gonna say it. So I think the fact that the Moon is with Saturn heavily influences it and how we're feeling. So another thing is Revati is— it's a kind nakshatra, and Pisces is a kind sign which deals with compassion, with healing, with helping others. That's what I feel today is more or less about. Now I'm looking at Tuesday. This is August 4th, and this day the Moon will go into Aries, which means people are becoming a little bit more frustrated, bustling, faster doing things. There's not enough patience. Moon in Aries people are impulsive, they're impatient, they're in a hurry. Slow down. It's in a slayshah, which is— I mean, it's not slayshah, it's in a shwini. Excuse me, a shwini means fast movement, and it can be a healing nakshatra. So watch if you're looking into your health. New advances and discoveries in healing will be starting to surface during this time. So let me move forward to Wednesday. This is August 5th, and on this day the Moon will be in Bharani. Bharani is about birthing. New beginnings, but things that happen kind of in a difficult way. You know, when things are birthed, it's painful, and you're going to start looking at the world in a different way. But the Moon particularly being in Aries still means people are still very impulsive and impatient. Jupiter is still combust the Sun, um, it's not able to help so much. And looking at this, well, things are going to start moving forward, but there's not the protection of Jupiter. So let's keep going here. And Mars and Venus are still, still squaring off, making relationships somewhat more difficult. Okay, let me move to August 6th. This is Thursday, and we have the Moon will be pretty much in Aries most of the day. Later on in the evening, it will shift to Taurus, but it will be the whole time in the nakshatra called Krittika. And Krittika is sharp and cutting. Its symbol is a razor. Gets to the point, really sharp. So be careful what you say today because you may regret things if you're not cognizant of what you're saying. And the other thing is that Venus happens to be in a 6/8 relationship with Rahu, so Be aware, with Venus being, being at 5 degrees of Virgo, it's not the best day to go out, meet friends, and/or fall in love. So be very cognizant. This is kind of a time to work on relationships, existing relationships. Make sure that you are careful about what you're doing or saying. Now, the Sun sits here today at 20 degrees of Cancer, which means Saturn, Sun are in a trinal aspect. But you may think, if you know any astrology, the trine is positive. But really what's happening is in Nadi astrology, Saturn's trine is a full-bodied aspect. So it's really the combo of what does the Sun and Saturn mean. This means leadership, and be careful around authority figures. You might want to keep your cool and stay grounded because this can be a difficult time. It can also be a difficult day for world leaders because the Sun rules rulership. Saturn's exact to this trinal connection with the Sun today. Let's move to August 7th. This is the last day, and then we'll, uh, we'll finish up this week. So August 7th, the Moon, of course, is in Taurus the whole day, and it will be in the nakshatra called Rohini, which is the Moon's favorite nakshatra. It's a good day for buying things, for pampering yourself because the Moon loves this sign. But it does cross over Uranus today, which can mean some unexpected events emotionally. People change their mind, they change their mood suddenly and unexpectedly. That's something to be aware and cautious of. So that's important. And let's see, I'm still going to say that Jupiter has combust the Sun. We need to get more of a wider orb between Jupiter and the Sun, so Jupiter's not able to protect us. So this is all a kind of a treacherous time. Be aware. But the Moon in Taurus will give you the ability to go out and shop and take care of yourself. So that pretty much covers the first week of August, and we just finished with Friday, so we will pick up on Saturday of the following week. Now we have 31 days in August, so I'm going to have a little bit wider range with the weeks, and we're we'll get through this month. Lots is going to be happening in the second week because here we're coming upon the solar eclipse. Don't miss the next week of August, you want to be prepared. So with that, I'll close.
