In this brief astrological commentary, Joni Patry explains the significance of the September 10 new moon, which occurs in Leo and the Purva Phalguni nakshatra—an expressive, creative lunar mansion. She notes that the new moon’s placement aligns with Ketu, which remains conjunct the fixed star Regulus (the star of kings and leaders), suggesting a theme of loss and challenges involving world leaders throughout August, September, and October. Patry also highlights a difficult quincunx (8‑6) aspect between Mercury and Rahu, indicating potential communication struggles during this period, while noting that Venus forms a favorable relationship, offering a more positive influence. The overall tone is conversational and cautionary, urging listeners to be aware of these astrological influences.

September 10th, and this is the new moon. Now this new moon is in Leo, and it happens in the nakshatra called Purva Phalguni, which is actually the most expressive and creative nakshatra of all, and it's in Leo, but it is still in the same sign with Ketu, so we haven't gotten over The sense of loss and problems with world leaders that have really inundated the month of August and September and October. Because it is— we can't deny the fact that Ketu this entire month is conjunct the fixed star Regulus, star of kings and leaders. Something is happening concerning losses around leaders. And another thing is, on this new moon, we also have Mercury is in a difficult relationship with Rahu while Venus is in a good one. Mercury is what— in what we call a quincunx, an 8-6 relationship, or 6-8, struggles with communications. Just be aware of that.
