Good evening, and thank you for visiting Nooz Buffet!
Yes, today was Beltane, and yes, the moon will be full this evening. If you look at the chart below, you’ll see the Moon in the First House on the 14th degree of Scorpio, and so it’s the First House of Self that’s illuminated now.
When the First House is illuminated, things can become pretty personal, especially when Scorpio is involved. We know all about the dark side of the Scorpio Moon; vindictive, vengeful, jealous, manipulative, and deceptive.
If the dark side of the Scorpio Moon is manifesting through you, then perhaps there’s a lot you need to consider because with Libra in the Twelfth House, there will be consequences for our actions. What’s your freedom worth? What’s your life and health worth? How far are you really willing to go?
I will never judge you, and honestly, you might not be wrong for wanting revenge. Afterall, the scales of justice must be balanced, but there’s a time and place for everything.
The timing of the Universe (God’s timing) is absolutely perfect, and once you truly understand that and feel it with your heart, you’ll realize that you can never be out of place, or out of time. You really don’t need to force things, and you don’t need to rush. If you let the divine plan of the Universe unfold, then the scales will be balanced naturally. There’s no need to get hurt and end up in the hospital, and there’s no need to hurt someone else and end up in jail.
The last two weeks might’ve been confusing. You might’ve felt lost, overwhelmed, or unsure of yourself, but all of that is going to change this evening. If you can find a way to relax, the Full Moon will deliver, and insights, visions, and revelations light the way forward. That’s what the culmination point is all about.
The flipside of this scenario that you’re the one who people seem to be jealous of, or maybe you might be the target of someone who waited a long time to give you a taste of your own medicine, and if that is the case, then please allow me this opportunity to share my thoughts.
I never understood jealousy, and that’s probably why I hate the behavior of jealous people, but jealousy becomes a thing because people spend more time competing with and comparing themselves to others. You don’t need to compete with anyone, and you really shouldn’t be comparing yourself to anyone.
I’m not lying to you when I say you’re unique. You are not me, you are not your neighbor, and you’re not your coworkers. You are not your brother or sister, and you’re not your parents. How could you compare yourself to someone else when you’re both two separate and unique individuals? You wouldn’t compare apples and oranges because they’re two different fruits, so why would you compare yourself to your neighbor, your coworker, or the guy who sits in the desk across from you during math class?
If fact, you’ve spent so much time worrying about what everyone else is doing that you forgot about yourself. It’s time to put yourself first, and those who truly care about you and love you will not be made at you for doing so. If people are jealous of what you’re doing and what you have going on, then, oh well. Just keep going.
If people are looking to get even or get back at you for something you did a long time ago, then you must be a man about the situation. You can’t take back some of things you said, and you can’t take back some of the things you’ve done, but I can guarantee you that you’re no longer the person you were twenty years ago. The version of you who might’ve said and done some hurtful things twenty years ago is long gone. You’ve changed. You’ve grown up and matured, and hopefully whoever this person is who’s still holding a grudge against you realizes that.
Opposition
Today was Beltane, and Beltane is about the unification or the reuniting of the God and Goddess, but the opposition between the Sun on the 11th degree of Taurus in the Seventh House and the Moon on the 14th degree of Scorpio in the First House could indicate tension in relationships or marriages. If you and a partner can find a way to compromise, then a painful decision will have to be made. It appears as if your personal ambitions to follow through on things your passionate about is not being supported by the other right now. The other prefers a more predictable, safe, and consistent life around the home, and you’re pushing hard for something that’s meaningful to you.
The midheaven in Leo squared both the Sun and the Moon reveals that any type of expansion or growth whether it’s personal or with the other is going to be difficult. This could just be a time of working through problems, and that’s okay.
Mars is at home in Aries, and both are in the Sixth House of Health, Wealth, Work, and Service. A rare opportunity is present there is we’re willing to assert ourselves. Often in life we must fight for things, and sometimes it can be our health if we’re sick, or it can be a raise or a promotion at work. The quincunx connecting the Moon and Mars reveals that a little courage could go a long way now. If you’re presented with an opportunity at work, give it your best. Don’t shy away from this or attempt to talk yourself out of it. You’re ready, and you’re prepared.
Pluto, the ruler of Scorpio, is conjoined with the IC at the bottom of the chart (2 degrees of separation). You and a member of your extended family, or possibly a sibling, haven’t had the greatest relationship as of late, but Venus in Gemini indicates that there’s still a lot of love there. Be gentle.

Just recently, while completing an Astrological Analysis for a client, I stumbled upon something in the chart that I haven’t seen before. I’ll start with the interception.
So, when there’s an interception in a chart, that means that the entire 30 degrees of a zodiac sign is completely engulfed within a house. Personally, I have a Sagittarius/Gemini interception in the Fifth and Eleventh House. That means the entire 30 degrees of Sagittarius is in the Fifth House, and the entire 30 degrees of Gemini is in the Eleventh House.
The thing that was different with this chart, is that this person had the interception, but they also had their Nodal Axis in the intercepted houses, but in two different signs that were not involved with the interception.
An interception is rare, and then to have the Moon’s North and South Nodes in the intercepted house is even more rare, but to have the Nodal Axis in the intercepted houses but in two signs not involved with the interception, well, I’ve never seen that.
It makes for an interesting reading because it’s like there’s two things going on at once, and you have to analyze the interception separate from the Moon’s Nodal Axis because even though it’s in the same houses, it’s still not really part of the interception.
The interception is really karmic, and it indicates some type of lesson that must be learned in this lifetime. Either it’s something we’ve been putting off, or it’s just something we haven’t had to face because we weren’t ready, but now we are. The soul is ready, and it made a promise to conquer this specific lesson so it can evolve and move forward. There’s no way around the lesson associated with the interception.
The Moon’s Nodal Axis describes the karmic path of this lifetime, so yeah, I guess you could say both the Moon’s Nodal Axis and the interception are karmic, but then again, the entire situation is. The North Node indicates the chosen purpose for this life, and the South Node indicates all the knowledge and inheritances we brought with us into this life from previous ones.
If nothing else, the Moon’s Nodal Axis in this situation will help clarify the lesson that needs to be learned, especially on the South Node side because the South Node will tell you where you failed.
Alright my good friends. Have a blessed evening, and don’t forget, the full moon is coming up on May 1st. It will be in Scorpio!
April 19, 2026
At approximately 8:50 a.m. yesterday morning, an interception locked Libra in the astrological Fifth House. In astrology, an interception is when the entire 30 degrees of a sign is contained within a single house, and I know for some, this might seem confusing, but it’s really not once you know that the astrological houses can vary in size.
If you ever looked at your birth chart, then I’m sure you’ve noticed that some houses are bigger than others, and personally I’ve seen some houses expand to about 38 degrees, but it’s this expansion that can swallow up a 30-degree segment containing a member of the zodiac.
When you see an interception in a chart, it means that there’s a lesson associated with the signs, houses, and planets involved that must be learned. It’s karmic, and I read somewhere that we actually made an agreement (soul contract) to experience, learn, and finally move on. We promised, and because we promised, there’s no way out of it or around it.
This interception locking Libra in the Fifth House (and Aries in the Eleventh) connects the qualities of Libra to the House of Short-Term Pleasure, and with Libra, we’re talking about balance, harmony, truth, justice, and love.
When I see Libra in the Fifth House, it reminds me of the search or the process by which an artist connects with his art. I always believed that in order for an individual to be successful at something, they should love it, and whenever you see a successful or a popular artist at work, it’s so easy to see the love they have for the piece they’re working and the art form itself.
They make it look so easy, so much so, that it causes the rest of us to question ourselves, “What do I love? How do I find it? Do I have some latent talent for music or painting?”
The answers to those questions are within you, and they have to be discovered by you. No one can give you those answers. You must find them for yourself.
Interestingly enough, I was just about to say, “You must find them for yourself, by yourself,” but maybe that’s not always true. We often make discoveries about ourselves through our interactions with others, and I’m not talking about using or manipulating people for our own personal gain.
I’m talking about the power of love. How many people throughout history have been inspired to produce something powerful after a breakup? How many poems and books have been written? How many songs have been sung?
More than we know is the answer, but the point I’m making is that it’s our sincere and innocent involvement with the other that often leads to some amazing discovery about ourselves, and that’s one of things that Libra symbolizes in the Fifth House. The Scale can’t function properly without both sides.
Now, let’s look at this from a different perspective. The Fifth House is naturally ruled by Leo and the Sun. It’s such a beautiful house, it’s bright and sunny, and filled with love. It’s about personal pleasures, things we do for fun and enjoyment, procreation, and artistic endeavors.
What if you found your love in the Fifth House, but you’ve been unable to enjoy yourself because maybe someone (the other) has been manipulating you or sabotaging your work?
Well, Libra in the Fifth House would ultimately indicate justice, and at the end of the day, you will connect with whatever it is you love, and you will produce great work because that’s your destiny.
This alignment could manifest in so many different ways, but instead of going through all of them, I’m going to leave you with a short list of some important things to remember.
It’s a short list, but it’s a start. If you have an interception in your natal chart, and you would like an interpretation, please reach out to me. I would love to work with you.
As far as the interception goes, remember, if Libra is locked in the Fifth House, then Aries, the sign opposite Libra, will be locked in the Eleventh House. This is how interceptions work because the six houses below the horizon are a mirror image of the six houses above the horizon.

Friends, fans, and followers, thank you for visiting Nooz Buffet! We have a new lunar cycle beginning today, and this evening at approximately 5:45 PM, the Moon will be on the 3rd degree of Taurus in the Eighth House.
Taurus is the natural ruler of the Second House, which is widely accepted as the house of money, but personal possessions and resources can be found there as well. The Bull, however, is not home. A small portion of Taurus is occupying the Seventh House, and approximately 27 degrees is in the Eighth House, which is where the Moon, Venus, and Uranus will be at 5:45 PM.
As the sun begins to set and the sky darkens, a cool night breeze blows in the unmistakable vibes of spring love. Many of us may feel warm and affectionate at this time. That, of course, is the manifestation of lunar energy through the sign of Taurus, but that’s the higher vibration (light side) of lunar energies through Taurus. The Moon’s energies can manifest as some of the darker qualities of Taurus as well, so if you’re not feeling warm, affectionate, or in a loving mood, then perhaps you should listen to reason.
Taurus is a fixed sign, and The Bull is known to be quite “bull-headed.” Some of us can be extremely stubborn, but we’re not talking about stubbornness in a good way-like persistence when trying to achieve something. We’re talking about being obstinate.
For example, a little while ago, you decided to do something, and this could literally be anything (including a plan to even the score or get revenge on someone). After several weeks, or possibly even a month or two, you began to realize that maybe your original plan wasn’t such a good one. Afterall, you were highly emotional, not thinking clearly, or maybe even drunk or high at the time.
At what point do you say to yourself, “Okay, enough is enough. This isn’t working, this isn’t going to work, and nothing good can come of this?”
If that point has come already, and you’re still going despite the warnings, despite what you know, and despite what the outcome will be, then stop being obstinate. Use Taurus as a guide through this time. Taurus is an earth sign, and the earth element relates to the senses and sensuality. If all else fails, and you still refuse to change course, then ask yourself, “Does what I’m doing make sense?”
If it doesn’t make sense, then you have your answer.
We see situations like this coming up every time there’s an earth sign involved, but especially with Taurus because Taurus is the fixed one. The issue is that we can often be led astray when pursuing things that appeal to our senses, and truthfully, love makes people do crazy things, but the dichotomy between good and bad can be really tricky.
Just because something is good, that doesn’t mean it’s good for us. The most beautiful woman or the most handsome man in the room could be a terrible match for us despite how he or she appears physically. Foods that taste great are often the worst for us.
I think you know what I’m getting at here.
The Moon’s position in the Eighth House does indicate that something could be coming to an end, so as much as you refuse to let go of an idea or refuse to change course on a plan of action, the Universe might step in on your behalf.
Over the next five or six days, your dependability will be under scrutiny. There’s a lot going on, and people want to know if you’re going to show up. People want to know if they can trust you.
I suggest that you be honest with anyone you’re dealing with at this time, especially when it comes to love and business. If your heart isn’t in it, then that’s okay. Don’t lead anyone on, don’t toy with anyone, and don’t manipulate (even if you have the power to do so).
At 5:45 PM, Libra will be the rising sign, which means that Venus rules the chart. This is important because Venus also rules Taurus, and with Taurus in the Eight House, it’s out with the old and in with the new right now. It’s a really good time to purchase new clothes and freshen up your look. It’s also a good time to purchase new furniture or small things that can restore harmony and beauty to your home.
Alright everyone, thank you for reading, and thank you for visiting Nooz Buffet!

Friends, fans, and followers, good evening!
When we’re discussing the balancing of polarities in astrology, there’s something interesting that is never taken into consideration, and for the most part, I suppose it’s just something that has gone unnoticed.
In astrology, the word polarity or polarities is used to bring attention to the fact that we’re dealing with two signs, two planets, or two houses that are aligned in opposition to one another. This is where we get “polar opposites” from, but I’ve also heard some people use term duality. The use of duality wouldn’t be totally wrong, however, for me personally in this situation, I prefer the usage of polarity over duality because dual can often be misinterpreted or misunderstood as belonging to the same thing. Case in point, dual doesn’t always mean opposite.
When the term polarity is used, there’s no mistaking the fact that you’re dealing with oppositions-two completely different things that are separate from one another.
Now that we’ve covered that, let’s talk about the astrology. When you look at an astrology wheel that has all the signs in their natural house positions (Aries in the First House, Taurus in the Second House, Gemini in the Third House, etc.), you’ll notice that oppositions are set. Fire signs always oppose Air signs, and Water signs always oppose Earth signs. Always.
The interesting thing here is that opposites in their widely known or commonly understood sense has gone out the window because all Air signs and all Fire signs are masculine, and all Water signs and all Earth signs are feminine.
Think about it.
Opposites usually involve hot and cold, light and dark, male and female, and positive and negative. If two signs oppose one another and both are positive, then what does “balancing the polarities” mean? What are we attempting to balance, and more importantly, can it even be done?
Well, this is where we get into the depth of astrology, astrological concepts, and the connection between astrology and spirituality.
Let’s take a look at Gemini and Sagittarius.
Gemini occupies the astrological Third House and Sagittarius occupies the Ninth House. House Nine and House Three oppose one another and the signs that rule them do as well.
Gemini and Sagittarius are both positive/masculine. In this sense, they’re not opposite at all. They’re the same because they’re both positive/masculine, but something deeper needs to be understood here before moving forward, and that is that Air and Fire are both positive/masculine.
Gemini is the Air sign, and Sagittarius is the Fire sign, and it’s the elements they represent that make them different, but ultimately, they’re apart of the same thing.
What we’re attempting to do is balance or bring into harmony, two different aspects of the same thing.
Air represents intellect, and Fire represents emotions. When we say we’re balancing the polarity between Gemini and Sagittarius, we’re talking about the intellect and emotions of our masculine side.
The next question obviously would be, “Well, what’s our masculine side?”
Our head. The mind.
Here’s the secret connection;
Father, God, Lord/Masculine/Air and Fire/Emotion and Intellect
Mother, Goddess, Lady/Feminine/Water and Earth/Intuition and Senses
In astrology, “the balancing of the polarities” is about balancing the different aspects of both the masculine and feminine within, so that both can be brought into balance with one another as the mind connects with the heart.
Alright everyone, I hope your spring is everything you anticipated and more. Remember, the spring is a revival. It’s a rebirth and a renewal of creativity and life. As the energy of the Sun manifests itself through Aries, we’re blessed with will power, courage, and the strength to conquer and press forward. Be pioneering and brave.
I’m wishing you all a wonderful evening and blessed week ahead.
Thank you for visiting Nooz Buffet.

Tis the season of the Ram, however the first full moon of this spring will be in the opposite sign, Libra. I would definitely like to wish everyone whose natal sun was in Aries a happy birthday.
The energetic manifestation coming from the full moon and through Libra this Wednesday will have many of us feeling good. A Libra moon can bless us with charisma, charm, and diplomacy. As Wednesday approaches we generally become more alert, talkative, and feeling like we need to make a connection with someone-or something.
There’s a lot of magic wrapped up in the Libra constellation-far more than could ever be explained in this article, but a little-known secret about “The Scale” in general is that it needs both sides to work and function. Mull that around your brain for a little because it can be applied in a multitude of contexts.
We are magnetic, and whether we realize it or not, we are constantly drawing to us the things we need. The problem is that most of us don’t realize this and because we don’t, we either move away from, get rid of, or find fault with the very things or people we need. I guess it’s because some of us just aren’t ready to face the truth, and some of us, well, we just don’t give ourselves enough credit.
I know it’s hard to imagine, but Libra, like all the other zodiac signs, has both a light and a dark side, and while some of us will be feeling charismatic and sociable, others could be struggling with indecisiveness. More than any lunar phase, the full moon (two days before and two days after) represents a time when we’re most likely to be assaulted by an incoming barrage of information, visions, and sudden thoughts because the full moon represents the culmination point of the lunar cycle.
For a moment, I would like you to think of the lunar cycle as a diamond. Please excuse my drawing skills 🤣.
When you imagine the lunar cycle taking the shape of a diamond, then it’s easy to digest the position of the full moon, which as you can see, is the highest point. You can also compare the lunar cycle to basic story structure-beginning, middle, ending. All the action in a story happens in the middle because the plot is developing and being built up during the time before, and during the time after, the plot is being resolved.
The point of these examples is to get you to understand what the full moon represents, and while the full moon does have a reputation for being a time action, that action is more psychic and mental.
If you’re naturally an indecisive person, well, the full moon energies can make you super-indecisive, almost to the point of feeling stuck. Many people say they get anxious when the moon is full, and if that’s you, then I want you to relax.
I shared a secret with you guys a long time ago. The new moon and the full moon are the best times to meditate, and with all this information coming your way during the full moon, you’d be foolish if you didn’t take a moment to breathe and center yourself.
All of this can be easily misinterpreted, and the full moon often gets branded with a mark of negativity by people who don’t understand, but the visions and information delivered to you by the Universe during the time of the full moon is meant to help you. It’s meant to clear the way-and obviously! We’re talking about 100% illumination. God just turned the light on to illuminate the way forward.
When you think about it, you should be less indecisive and less anxious during the full moon because the answers you need are falling right in your lap. So, just relax.
Now, pay attention closely. Indecisiveness is a trait or a characteristic of Libra’s dark side, and your indecisiveness, or your inability to make decisions for yourself is not alone. By its very nature, it’s connected to two additional traits that are considered dark, and when you put all three of these qualities together, you’ll have uncovered an entire picture of cause and effect.
Dependency and changeable are the two other traits that can manifest through Libra’s dark side. Extreme indecisiveness can lead to dependency, and dependency opens the door for someone or something to enter in the name of help, and it’s that help that can change you. Change is not such a bad thing by itself, however, Libra is a cardinal sign, and cardinal signs, if they’re functioning at their highest level, are supposed to be harbingers of change and leaders. You shouldn’t be the one bending, you should be changing the environment around you.
This evening, at five o’clock, the first nine degrees of Libra will occupy the First House, the last twenty-one degrees of Libra will occupy the Second House, and the Moon will be sitting right on that cusp line separating the two houses.
Themes related to Libra involve a “balancing of the scales,” and justice. With the Second House illuminated this evening, we could finally receive some information regarding the theft of our personal possessions, or the mismanagement of our funds.
In the weeks leading up to this full moon, things might’ve been missing from your home, your vehicle (maybe the vehicle itself), or even your desk at work, and for the past two weeks you’ve been trying to figure out where your money or your belongings went because you knew for a fact that you left them in their proper place. Well, that information comes your way now. If you’ve misplaced something, you’re likely to find it, and if any of it was stolen, the process of bringing the thieves to justice will begin.
There could’ve been an issue with money being put in a wrong account, a transaction botched, or maybe, just maybe, you realized that a contract was breeched. Sometimes we sign contracts or make deals, and we think everything is all good, and why not. Contracts are legally binding, and by law, all goods and services must be delivered, and all due compensation must be paid, however, sometimes contracts aren’t read entirely or fully understood.
It can be an honest mistake that has been costing you thousands per month, but that honest mistake gets rectified now.
Now, let’s go back a little bit to what I wrote before about anxiety and indecisiveness. How could a person become indecisive and anxious when the answers or the information they need is falling right in their lap?
Well..
What if that person who stole from you was your husband, your wife, your mother, or your son? What do you do? Do you prosecute your immediate family members? Do you call the cops on your daughter? See, this is how it happens, and this is why some people just want to move forward without digging for information or knowing certain things. Once you know the truth, a decision must be made, and it’s difficult for some people to make decisions-sometimes because they’re naturally indecisive, and sometimes because of the circumstances.
Libra is an air sign, and air is the quality of intellect. In legal matters, the best course of action for us to take now is to reach out. Find someone who knows, who’s an expert, and who can help.
Meetings, conversations, and all discussions that involve business, money, or personal possessions go extremely well at this time.
Venus, the planet of love and beauty rules both Libra and Taurus, and we see Venus right at home in Taurus in the Eighth House, and that’s good because Taurus rules the Second House.
Whenever you see something like that, it means the situation is karmic, and since we see Venus in the opposite House (House Eight is opposite House Two), I’m willing to bet that love has nothing/or everything to do with what we’re experiencing in the Second House.
In order to restore harmony, we must balance the scales, and sometimes, justice must be served in order to do that. This is where we must make a decision regarding love and our feelings towards the people and the things we love.
Taurus is the sign of the builder, and with Taurus occupying the Eighth and Ninth Houses, something will come to an end, and a new-long process will begin shortly after. What we’re building is our lives, and we do that day to day by making the best and most beneficial decisions for ourselves.
We can go one of two ways now from what I can see in this chart. Should we decide to shun love and maintain the status quo then it’s business as usual, however, if we make the decisions we need to make because of love (even though that might be hard and difficult) a peculiar door will open, and a new long journey will begin.
This journey might be filled with surprises and unpredictability, but it’s one that embodies the true nature of life and what it means to live.
Another way of interpreting this..
Keep in mind that the Second House is also the house of resources-those things we need to live, so in a sense, survival. Some people hate asking for help, but what if you truly need something?
Maintaining the status quo in this scenario could mean continuing to starve if you’re too prideful to ask for food. Remember, Libra is a sign of intellect. Be smart. If there are certain things you need, and you can’t obtain them alone, then you must reach out for someone to give you a hand. Suffering when help is around the corner would be the opposite of smart, right?
I know this seems like dependency, which is a dark quality of Libra, but in today’s world, we’re all somewhat dependent because we’re dependent on the system we live in, but that doesn’t mean you have to lose yourself entirely. There’s a balance that must be found here.
Unless you can hunt and kill your food, farm, or build things for yourself, then you need someone to help you. In today’s world, most of us associate independence and freedom with working. Some people say that true freedom is financial freedom because having your own money or source of income allows you to do what you want to do whenever you want to do it. Most people think they don’t need help if they have money because they can just buy what they need.
Why do I need to know how to hunt and kill animals to eat when I can just go to the grocery store and buy a steak?
That is all well and good, but there’s a major component of spiritualism attached to the second degree of Taurus, which is where Venus is.
People say it’s not good to be dependent on the system because we won’t be able to survive if the system breaks down. They would agree that we should all know how to live off the land-farm, hunt, and build our own things because hey, you never know what could happen.
To a certain degree, that’s true, but we’re not getting to the heart of the matter.
Independence and freedom are the heart of the matter, and the only reason we associate both with working is because there’s a force-a tyrannical force pushing for the status quo, which is business as usual.
What is real freedom? What is independence?
I know that independence and freedom seem like they’re way off topic, but if you truly understand Libra, then you’d know they’re not.
Okay. I’m wishing everyone a ton of blessings at the time of the full moon, and a wonderful week ahead. Thanks for reading, and thank you for visiting Nooz Buffet.
March 15, 2026 (Written today for the New Moon on the 18th)
The new moon occurring on the 18th was so darn close to Aries that I wanted to say we were going to have a new moon in Aries, but because each and every degree of the zodiac is so important, I had to respect where the moon actually was on the 18th instead of where it was going to be at midnight on the 19th.
Long story short, we have another lunar cycle beginning in Pisces, but this new lunar cycle is a special one because it falls in between the equilux (equal day and night) and the first day of spring.
At precisely 5:47 P.M. on Wednesday, March 18th, the Moon will be located ten degrees above the descendent on the 25th degree of Pisces in the Seventh House. Once again, the Seventh House of Relationships is illuminated, but doubly so now because the Sun is only two degrees away from the Moon on the 28th degree.
At the top of the chart, the Midheaven is set on the 13th degree of Gemini, which is the Orion Constellation. According to ancient mythological sources, Orion was a great lover and huntsman, but this placement of the Midheaven definitely makes the location of both the Sun and Moon more interesting because Gemini is about communication and union.
In general, relationships at the time of the New Moon are easygoing. This conjunction between the Sun and Moon as the spring season approaches symbolizes the sacred and beautiful union of masculine and feminine forces here on earth. There’s lots of deep conversation and back-and-forth banter as you and a loved one attempt to know one another.
Pisces is a super sensitive sign full of love and compassion, the thing is..
..sometimes, when the sign of Pisces is involved, that love and compassion is hidden or buried, and it needs to either be dug up or rediscovered. Considering the location of the Midheaven, the Sun and Moon, Scorpio in the Third House, and Aries occupying a portion of the Seventh House, many of us could be going through a period of renewal or making up. It’s possible that someone was unfaithful, but it doesn’t have to be about that.
When you’ve been with someone for a very long time, there could come a point when the seriousness of the relationship comes into question-especially if things have always been casual between you two.
It seems like we’re trying to convince one another that we can be trusted, and that yes, we are the one! With Scorpio in the Third House and Pluto in the Fifth House, this can be a time of accidental or unplanned pregnancies.
Pluto is the planet of Emotional Encountering, and through Pluto we have deep-emotional experiences that can truly rock us at our core. A great example of what I see in this chart is this;
You and your partner have been together for a while. You love one another, but within, you’re both still questioning if the other is the “one,” and because of this confusion, this indecisiveness, and this uncertainty, which by the way is totally Pisces, your relationship seems to be at a standstill. Then, all of a sudden, bam! She gets pregnant, and it was really unplanned, but now the Universe (with the help of Pluto) has put you guys in a situation where the elephant in the room must be addressed. Either you guys are going to stay together and raise the baby, or you are both going to go your separate ways.
But I have to tell you, Aries occupying a portion of the Seventh House of Relationships does favor a fresh start, and the Midheaven on the 13th degree of Gemini and the conjunction between the Sun and Moon indicates a sacred union. Yes, your partner is the one, you guys just needed a little nudge to take the next step together.
Wow! Powerful chart!
As we move up the chart a little bit in a counterclockwise direction, we find Chiron sitting in the Eighth House on the 24th degree of Aries. Chiron is the symbol that looks like a little key.
The Eighth House can be a place of extremes, and in terms of being overly self-sufficient, the Eighth House can without a doubt take us to places that are either counterproductive or hazardous to our health. The semisextile connecting the Moon in the Seventh House to Chiron in the Eighth offers an opportunity to heal a wound that’s been with us for a long time, and the wound represented by Chiron in Aries is often a difficult one to become conscious of because it’s in our nature to suppress the fact that we might be afraid, fearful of something, or lack courage.
All three of those things can cause us to overcompensate or to be overly self-sufficient so in this case specifically, it’s best to work backwards-identify the behavior and then connect it to a cause. At the end of the day, you’ll come to realize that you’re fundamentally right and you’re perfect just as you are.
It’s likely that the right partner can help you realize this, and now that I’m realizing this, the entire chart for the night of the new moon makes perfect sense.
The new moon in Pisces now helps us to understand the power of belief, especially when it comes to what we believe about ourselves.
Have a wonderful evening everyone, and I hope the start of spring brings you a renewal of creativity and a fresh perspective on things.
The Seventh House is illuminated by the new moon, but also, because Aries is there in the Seventh House as well, our circle of friends and business partners could be changing faster than we think. Some of us need this change, while others are uneasy at the thought of a fresh-new start, but just remember, the Universe is a well-oiled machine.
The timing is perfect.

Good afternoon!
There’s a lot going on next week, which is the week of the 15th starting Sunday and ending on Saturday, March 21st.
If you remember, this current lunar cycle began in Pisces, and Pisces is the ruler of the astrological Twelfth House. I’ve done some Twelfth House research during the past two weeks, and I wanted to share two pieces of information with you that pertain to the Twelfth House.
Both quotes I discovered in the work of Dane Rudhyar:
“According to the ancient tradition of Indian Philosophy, the last thought held in death determines the pattern of the future incarnation.”
“The individual, conscious of his true identity, is able to use for his purpose of destiny whatever conditions have been inherited from his individual and ancestral past.”
Those are two very important quotes I found while studying Dane Rudhyar’s work on the Twelfth House, and they’re important because they involve two topics that I’ve spent a lot of time researching, reincarnation and destiny, but the bigger picture here is that we’re talking about the evolution of the soul from lifetime to lifetime.
They’re about waking up and becoming conscious of your true identity so that you can remember your past. Remembering the past not only prevents you from making the same mistakes twice, but it equips you with lifetimes of past accumulated knowledge that will be necessary when it comes to manifesting this current life’s destiny path. Both quotes cover topics related to the past, present, and future.
As we move on to the festivities occurring next week, circle the 17th on your calendars. Tuesday, March 17th is Saint Patrick’s Day, and yes, I know Saint Patrick was venerated as a saint in many different churches including the Catholic, but try, if you can, to look past the religious associations of Saint Patrick. Seeing him for the individual he was and the life he lived can provide you with so much more than any of his religious affiliations can.
Basically, don’t miss out on all we can learn from Saint Patrick because we dismissed the 17th of March as day dedicated to Catholicism. Now, I’m going to be honest; because Saint Patrick lived so long ago (fifth century), the details of his life are sketchy, but it is believed that he was an Italian boy growing up in Britain. Supposedly, he was kidnapped when he was sixteen by Irish pirates and taken as a slave to Ireland. Again, the details are sketchy, but if you really want to know, you can dig for sources.
Okay. On the same day that Saint Patrick is being observed, it is the Equilux. The same day! Many of us are familiar with the word, “equinox,” and many of us refer to the first day of spring as the spring equinox. The mainstream has been drilling us with the idea that on the first day of spring, the earth is in perfect harmony because there is exactly the same amount of daylight as there is night, but that is incorrect.
If you’ve been listening to the mainstream and not doing your own research, then you’ve been missing it!
It is actually on the equilux and not the equinox that day and night are of equal length. Every year, a few days before the equinox, or the first day of spring, we have this special and sacred day where there’s a perfect balance; we have twelve hours of night and twelve hours of day, and this year, the equilux occurs on Tuesday, March 17th.
Now you know.
On Wednesday, March 18th, my lunar app says that we have another new moon occurring in Pisces, but I’m going to share something with you because I know better.
I know that if a new moon occurs in Pisces for example, then the full moon will be in Virgo, and the next new moon will occur in Aries.
What the hell does that mean?
Well, think of the lunar cycle as drawing a circle on a sheet of paper. If you start the circle in Pisces and draw a half circle or a semi-circle (180 degrees), then you arrive at the full moon, which would be in opposition to where you started in Pisces (Virgo). If you were to continue drawing that circle, you would eventually come back to where you started, and that is really the closing of the circle.
The astrological chart for March 18th shows the Moon in Pisces for the entire day and night of the 18th, but a little after midnight, which is the 19th, the Moon enters Aries. It’s very close, we’re talking about a few degrees, but I’m going to say the new moon on the 18th will be in Aries.
Either way, whether it’s the 18th or 19th, or Pisces or Aries, there’s a new moon and new lunar cycle beginning.
On Friday, March 20th, we say goodbye to winter and hello to spring, and on Saturday the 21st, the Ostara Sabbat is celebrated.
I hope everyone is having a wonderful week, and I hope this spring season delivers a renewal of vibrancy, creativity, energy, and opportunity.
Of course, Aries favors the courageous and the brave, so don’t be shy and don’t be afraid to create the changes you would like to see for yourself, but most importantly, don’t get discouraged.
I will see you all at the time of new moon!
🧡🤍💚

Hello everyone!
On the third of March, which is this Tuesday, there will be a full moon in the astrological sign, Virgo. The chart for March 3rd at 5:15 P.M. est., shows the Moon in the First House on the 18th degree of the Virgin, and many of us, when we think of the word virgin, we usually assume it’s about sex, but Virgo is really about being pure of heart.
We know that the full moon is a time of revelation and culmination, and that’s exactly what’s happening on the 3rd. This current lunar cycle that began in Pisces on February 17th, is now culminating, and because the Moon is in the First House, the focus is coming back to us personally.
From a health standpoint, Virgo rules the intestines, the stomach generally, and the nervous system. Relax! If you’ve been stressed out at work lately, then you need to be able to relax when you get home. Your home should be your little sanctuary, and if you can’t make the entire residence a peaceful place, then you need to create a peaceful place for yourself within that house. When it’s time to rest, you should be able to rest free from all distractions.
Also, it’s good to give your digestive system a break once in a while. Yogurt, bananas, white rice, oatmeal, and eggs are all foods that are healthy and easily digestible. You can check online I suppose for a more complete list.
Astrologically, Virgo is a mutable earth sign, and with Mercury (Virgo’s ruler) in the Seventh House, there can be lots of conversations now with people in different areas of our lives, especially those who we’re partnered with in some way.
Remember, in the First House of Self, we’re the focus, but in the Seventh House, it’s the other person. With Mercury in the Seventh House, we’re dealing directly with other people, and we’re trying to find things out.
Is our current contract the best one?
It’s funny that I mentioned the above question as an example because I was just on the phone with my car insurance company complaining about my rising monthly premiums.
We’re all trying to get a good deal, and honestly, with so much market competition, why stay with a car insurance company or a cell phone provider when other companies can offer you something much better and more affordable?
Virgo is the sign of research, the sign of gathering information, and the sign of truth. Virgo wants to know the truth. She’s inquisitive. At the time of this full moon, you’re finally starting to realize that you could be upgrading, making improvements, and saving a buck or two, and because the Moon is in Virgo, the Universe is actually on our side when it comes to researching and finding answers.
Go with the flow.
The mutability of Virgo makes us highly adaptable and changeable, so when we stumble upon these good deals or these better offers, we’re not going to put up much resistance because we know in our hearts that it’s the right time and the right thing to do.
From the First House, the Moon opposes Venus, Mercury, and the Sun, and this is really interesting. We already know the First House is the House of Self, and it’s all about us, but these oppositions seem to be reinforcing a breaking point.
At the time of this full moon, it’s quite possible that some of us are finally realizing the need to put ourselves first, and excuse my language, but we’re seeing right through the bullshit and all the slick talk. We’re fed up with excuses and lies.
Love can attach us to people, things, and places, but we’re willing to put love aside right now if those people, things, and places aren’t good for us.
Right now, we’re saying, “I’m going this way. This way is the right way for me. Either you’re coming or you’re not.”
If they don’t come, if they don’t meet you halfway, and if they don’t respond then you have your answer. You’ve been patient, and part of that patience was due to a lack of consciousness, but a full moon in the sign of Virgo can make us totally awake and aware of our current situations. Virgo is the sign of consciousness!
In the chart, I saw Mars in the Sixth House, and I saw Astraea in Aquarius in the Sixth House. There could be a friendship coming to an end now. This is a person who you thought was your friend. You thought this person cared about you and you thought this person was acting in your best interest, but at the time of this full moon, the whole situation is coming unraveled.
You’re learning the truth about this person.
It could also be a social movement or some type of group that you either belonged to or casually supported. Either way, it’s not right for you, and you know that now.
You did all you could do. It cost you time, it cost you money, and it’s now costing you your health.
Once we get over and move on from this situation, there’s something wonderful waiting for us, which is represented by Jupiter in Cancer in the Eleventh House.
The Eleventh House can be such a futuristic place that seems way off in the distance and far-reaching, but Cancer is simplifying things. Cancer is favoring the tried-and-true and the things that are familiar to us.
It’s almost like we’ve been sidetracked and knocked way off course. We’ve been doing things that were totally out of character, and we’ve been running with a pack that didn’t really fit us.
Cancer is bringing home and familiarity to the Eleventh House, which should make us really comfortable in society in general and more compatible to the groups we chose to associate with. We all sacrifice in some way when we join a group, and it’s even possible to lose a small portion of ourselves, but we don’t have to lose ourselves entirely.
The Eleventh House is about making our mark on the world, so if you’re sincere, pure of heart, and find friends, groups, and organizations that align with who you are, Jupiter promises expansion and rewards.
The Eleventh House also represents maturing and adulthood. Remember before, I mentioned that Virgo was mutable. Well, as we get older, we change, and that means that our friends, our lovers, and the groups we associate with will change as well.
At the time of this full moon, we receive revelation, news, inspiration, and flashes of insight; the road forwards becomes illuminated and perfectly clear. When it comes to groups and social movements, we’re findings those we belong to because we’re finally understanding ourselves.
Believe me, I’m more about individuality, but sometimes the right friends can help us reach heights we could never reach alone.
Insight comes your way via the Ninth House-more than likely something you’ve been working on or putting a lot of time and effort into yields a breakthrough. Don’t be afraid to take your time. Do any and all research moving forward.
The lucky numbers right now are 5 and 3, and health, wealth, and work on a personal level are highlighted.
February 17, 2026
Good evening. Tonight, a new lunar cycle is beginning in Pisces, and a perfect mutable cross has opened a window to the heavens. This is truly a special event because how often do I pull a chart on the night of a new moon with a perfect cross? Not often.
The Lunar South Node this evening is sitting on the 8th degree of Virgo in the Twelfth House, and some of us might be doing some serious research on a very specific topic of interest. The Twelfth House is an extremely private and mysterious house, so once in a while, it might be beneficial for you to come out of your hole to get something to eat or drink.
Oh, I can’t go too hard on you guys because I do have a tendency myself to become hermit-like when I’m sliding down a rabbit hole, but seriously, take a look at yourself once in a while. If you’re beginning to look like a Mad Scientist, you might need rest, exercise, or just some fresh air.
Keep in mind that the South Node represents the past and what or where we’re trying to evolve from. With the Moon illuminating the Sixth House, it’s quite possible that we’re now paying in some way for things we refused to change, forget, and simply move on from.
Refusing to grow up means you could still be acting like a kid, and believe me, there are certain things we did in high school and when we were young that are no longer acceptable once we reach adulthood. In addition to that, as adults, there are certain things we just can’t get away with anymore.
Virgo is the sign of consciousness. Be aware of your surroundings now and take notice of the company you keep. Make sure you’re looking out for number one.
The Twelfth House rules hospitals, rehabilitation centers, and prisons. If you ignored the warning signs and continued to eat foods that weren’t good for you, you might be visiting the doctor soon or the dentist. Issues with drug use, drug abuse, and addictions are coming up now, and hopefully you end up in rehabilitation instead of prison.
With the Moon in Pisces and the Moon’s South Node in Virgo, there’s a real possibility that we’re displaying the dark side of both signs now; high-strung, argumentative, and standoffish on the Virgo side, and indecisive, discontent, and secretive on the Pisces side.
What we can see, however, as indicated by the Moon’s conjunction with North Node in the Sixth House, is this urge or nudge to move out of the darkness, the mysteriousness, and the unknown (Not that the Twelfth House is some dark depressing place) to a place that’s more structured, mainstream, and in a sense, familiar.
Pisces in the Sixth House puts faith, religion, religious practices, and personal beliefs in a place that’s about service, which ultimately, puts a focus on what we believe, who or what we believe in, and how we worship or serve a higher power. This is absolutely suggesting that for some of us, it’s not a bad idea to get closer to God, a higher power, or a source of power.
Pisces in the Sixth House is bringing together faith or ritual and service, which equates to ritualizing normal everyday routines, and you know what? Taking care of ourselves should become a habit. Being compassionate and caring when providing services to others should become a habit. We should love the work we do, and we should love taking care of ourselves
Don’t forget, there’s a three-way conjunction in the Sixth House between the Moon, the North Node, and Venus, and that makes this Sixth House, which is already a feminine place as it’s ruled naturally by Virgo, an even more feminine place that’s bordering on sacredness. There’s an emphasis on the females in our lives, and possibly our wives, mothers, or girlfriends.
As we get into the flow of everyday life, some of the women in our lives can be there to help us (not all of them, lol). Venus and the Moon conjunct the North Node is indicating big time help coming from a female. It’s also indicating that there should be love and patience that comes along with service. Please, do not be so focused on the endgame, the finished results, or the final destination. Enjoy the ride, enjoy the journey, and enjoy the process. How many times have you heard that life is about the journey and the people you meet along the way? Well, it’s true.
A window to the heavens was opened briefly at the time this chart was pulled, 7:52 P.M. A perfect mutable cross connected the horizontal axis from the 27th degree of Virgo to the 27th degree of Pisces, and the vertical axis from the 27th degree of Gemini to the 27th degree of Sagittarius.
The mutable energy of this cross is extremely adaptable. This is a patient go-with-the-flow energy. It’s about being moldable and absorbing the environment around you. This is not the time to force anything, and it’s not the time to impose your will on others. The Heavens painted a picture showing the process of perfecting and the pursuit of excellence as we ritualize normal-everyday-mundane things. We have an opportunity to manifest our dreams and visions-make them real here in the physical.
The astrology of the moment coupled with the fact that a new lunar cycle is now beginning makes this the perfect time to begin, to start anew, and to turn your life around. The Universe is blessing us with all the help we need. It’s placing around us clues and people who have the experience and wisdom to lead us in the direction we’ve always desired.
I know firsthand how hard life can be, and I know there are lots of temptations and distractions out here that can pull us off course and slow us down. For some of us, our lives have been delayed tremendously, but do not give up.
Pick a place, pick a spot, pick anything, and begin right now as this new lunar cycle commences. By the time the full moon arrives in two weeks, I guarantee you’ll be in a much better place.
