This week brings intensity, transformation, and a powerful new moon. From Mars entering Capricorn to the Moon in Scorpio, Sagittarius, and Aquarius, emotional undercurrents rise — and so do truths that can no longer be hidden. I guide you day by day through the Vedic astrology of January 15–21, 2026, with a focus on how to stay grounded through power struggles, healing shifts, and new beginnings
Hi, my name is Joni Petrie and welcome to my YouTube channel. Well, today I'm going to be
looking at the third week of January and this is going to be the 15th through the 22nd.
Well, through the 21st. Let's just say seven days, the 15th through the 21st.
And with that, I'm going to be looking at the moon as it changes signs and nakshatras and how
all the planets are relative to the moon. Because remember, the moon is the public,
the emotions of the public in the world. So with that, let's begin with January 15th
and it's a Thursday. So we have the moon pretty much all day in Scorpio.
And while it is in Scorpio, it is in the last part of Scorpio. So it is in the nakshatra called
Jasta. Jasta is a powerful, powerful nakshatra. It deals with jealousy. It deals with intensity,
emotion. The moon in Jasta, look out. This is a day that pretty much you don't want to
be testing anyone because you never know what the backlash could feel like. It won't feel good.
So be careful what you say to other people too. Now, the moon will be Gandanta as it transits
throughout the day. Let me just see when, as the moon, hold on now, let's see the moon
as it moves throughout the day. Pretty much, yeah. In the evening, and I'm looking at around
4 or 5 p.m., the moon is Gandanta right before it changes into the next sign. When it's Gandanta,
meaning the last degrees of water, the water signs and the first degrees of fire signs,
people are out of control. It can even deal with something with flooding or drowning,
things of that nature. But please be aware that people will not be in the right minds.
This is a fact. Now today, another event happens around the time of 5 p.m. Central Standard Time.
Mars shifts from Sagittarius to Capricorn. Mars becomes so powerful in Capricorn.
And Mars can deal with hostility and anger. But I believe while it's in Capricorn, because it is
its exaltation sign, people can become more organized and more together. But it is combust
the sun. Things are out of control. Let me put it that way. I'm trying to make peace of this,
but things are out of control. People, the way they communicate, everything is uncertain.
That's what I'm going to say. And looking at the 15th, well, there's one good thing going on here.
Venus is actually trying Uranus. So this good thing can actually deal specifically with
relationships. It could be a sudden unexpected meeting with someone. And it could be very fun
and exciting, even though the whole world's kind of in an uproar. Hey, relationships could be an
advantage to you, especially if you're looking for someone. So that is January 15th. And let's
move it up to January 16th. It's a Friday. And we have the moon now is in Sagittarius. And while
it's in Sagittarius, this kind of hypes up everybody's sense of purpose, justice, everything
to do with our beliefs. And it is for the most part today going to be in the nakshatra mula.
Mula is a very destructive nakshatra. But what I feel like mula has to deal with more than anything
is when people become kind of self-destructive. So don't let yourself fall into any kind of
destructive patterns this day. But the moon in mula can also be a clearing, a clearing out of
a lot of negative energy if you use it for what it was meant to be used for. And we also have Mars,
Sun, Venus, Pluto, they're all together in the sign of Capricorn, which can mean reorganization
in the governments. That's what's happening this month. And each day, there's more that adds
a different level of correcting and organization and changes within governments and their leaders.
Even laws are changing in order to make things work out better. Now, Jupiter is in the seventh
house from the moon. As I said, this is a good day for relationships, meeting people. Actually,
it's going to be Thursday and Friday that relationships should be working out quite well.
Yes. So now I'm going to move it forward to the next day. I'm looking at Saturday,
January 17th, and Mercury just entered into Capricorn. Now we have Mercury, Mars, Sun,
Venus, Pluto, all in the sign of Capricorn, which represents government reorganization.
Things that are happening with war and peace and leaders. This is very pertinent. Mars being in
Capricorn conjunct the Sun or combust the Sun. A lot of things need to change. Now, the moon is
still in Sagittarius this entire day. Sagittarius deals with truth. It deals with justice and
our beliefs around spirituality being in Sagittarius. But it is in the nakshatra
called Purva Ashada. Purva Ashada deals with truth and fact-finding. The moon is exactly
opposed to Jupiter today, which means truth is coming out. Reality and truth. Jupiter is in the
sign of Gemini of communications. The moon is in Sagittarius of truth. This is going to heal
things with the truth coming out. This can even be about your personal life. And this is a good
day for relationships. Getting along with your partner and or even meeting someone today.
Now, I'm looking at Sunday. It's January 18th and this is the new moon. I love the new moon.
It's like a big change comes about when we have these cyclic changes with the lunations.
This is a time of new beginnings, fresh starts. The sun and the moon are together in the nakshatra
called Uttara Ashada. Uttara Ashada is the nakshatra of fact-finding, honesty, truthfulness,
of honor. But all these planets all together is actually way too much energy. So,
things aren't perfect. And let me just say this, with the moon where it's gone,
now Jupiter goes to the sixth house, which can be a struggle, which can be a fight, which can deal
with enemies to a certain degree. Rahu is in the second house. Be careful what you say.
And it's a good idea to take care of your health. Change habits because Jupiter in the six can make
you change some of the habits that have been the hardest to change for you. Mercury and Mars are
exactly conjunct today. And even today things just become more difficult in terms of people
arguing. Isn't it interesting the way people always have to be right even when they know
they're wrong? Somehow they convince themselves they're right. But be aware people are contentious
and argumentative and difficult to get along with today for sure. And this is the day all
in the event of the new moon. So now I'm moving it forward to January 19th. And
the moon is still in Capricorn all day. But it's moved into the nakshatra Shravana.
And Shravana is the nakshatra that deals with listening, hearing things, hearing people out.
Even though Mercury and Mars were together at least now they are separating. And that would
deal with a big change. Okay, so let me find what's going to be happening.
Well Jupiter's still in the sixth house. So it is a time that deals with enemies and problems
surmounting with your health. Time to get healthy. Both these days the 18th and the 19th can be new
beginnings in health and healing for yourself. So now I'm looking at January 20th. It's a Tuesday.
And the moon has moved into the nakshatra Dhanishta. And around midday around let's see
around 2 to 30 p.m central standard time the moon will roll into Aquarius midday.
But it's in the nakshatra Dhanishta. Dhanishta can be really difficult. Yeah Dhanishta is difficulty.
And the moon here puts all those planets in the 12th house from the moon. So be aware that this
is a day of difficulty, of secret agendas, things going on behind the scenes you don't know about.
And let me say this too. Pluto is conjunct Venus exactly today. And that deals with issues around
betrayal. So be aware. Look out. It's a Tuesday. And on Tuesdays we also, yes, we also have that it's
ruled by Mars. So this is an intense day. 12th from the moon. Things behind the scenes. Secret agendas.
And actually this Venus-Pluto are conjunct Monday, yesterday the 19th as well as today the 20th.
So be careful around people that you don't trust because they will really disappoint you.
Now Jupiter does roll into the fifth house. There can be a big change coming for the economy
and or the stock market. And I don't particularly care for these planets behind the moon right now.
I'm going to say it's coming but not today. Not yet. Now I'm looking at January 21st. This is a
Wednesday. And the moon all day will be in Aquarius. But it is now in the nakshatra called Shatabishak.
And it is going to be conjunct Rahu today which makes it incredibly intense.
Extremes. Extreme behaviors. But one thing I can say about this nakshatra, it deals with healing.
And with Jupiter in the sixth house from the moon, this is a day to find your remedies for
any kind of problems you've been searching for. And pick up and change your diet so that you are
eating better. You have a much better diet and you have control of things. But I will say this,
Venus, Pluto, Mercury, Sun, Mars are in the 12th house from the moon.
So there are still a lot of secret agendas behind the scenes. You can't trust everyone today.
You can't trust practically anyone today. Well, going back to where Jupiter was,
I'm sorry, I said it was in the sixth. It's in the fifth. But with these planets in the 12th,
it deals with health. Both the 12th and the sixth house deal with healing and health.
And therefore, this is a time you must be looking for answers health-wise. Maybe there's
some kind of virus going around or coals. Be careful. This nakshatra deals with the need to
find healing. It's also the nakshatra that deals with the sky, dealing with, well,
interest in aliens, interest in astrology, interest in astronomy. What's out in space?
This will be discussed more on this day. So that pretty much covers the third week of January.
We're going to be looking at the last week of January next. But before you go there, I want you
to check in to my website, sign up for my free newsletter, get all my predictions free,
check out my Patreon. That is our spiritual community. We meet weekly. As well as,
I don't know if I told you, the planner does all this but applies it to your birth chart.
You're going to want the galactic planner for this year to be prepared for everything that's coming.
