Good evening and thank you for visiting Nooz Buffet. Tonight, at 9 o’clock, the new moon will shine through the 29th degree of Taurus and illuminate the astrological Sixth House.
A new lunar cycle is beginning, so keep in mind that situations, circumstances, and things in your life may coincide with the current lunar phase. For example, because the Sixth House is involved, you might all of a sudden notice something that requires a visit to the doctor. There could be things about yourself that you never even noticed before, but at the time of this new moon, you seem to be concentrating on them now.
On the 29th degree of Taurus, the Moon is very close to Gemini, and because a portion of Gemini is occupying the Sixth House with Taurus, issues related to mental health could be the focus, or perhaps the health of a sibling or distant relative.
The Sixth House is also the House of Service, and some of us might be called upon to nurse or help a family member who’s injured or not feeling well. We might even get a call to babysit nieces, nephews, cousins, or younger siblings.
Not only is there a strong possibility that some of these scenarios could play out, but they could be the hinge events on which the next two weeks turn
That said, please shift your focus now to the Ninth and Third Houses because that’s where the Moon’s Nodal Axis is aligned. The North Node is on the 5th degree of Pisces in the Third House, and Astraea is only two degrees away. For me personally, I use Astraea as a co-ruler of Virgo because according to the mythology, the Virgo Constellation was given to Astraea when she ascended to the stars.
The Third House governs how we learn and process information, especially at an early age. It rules the education we receive at the elementary level, and day to day communication on a small scale (one-on-one/friends). It governs our neighborhood and the transportation we use to get around.
The extended family is also covered by the Third House, and that brings me to my next point. With the Moon’s North Node in Pisces in the Third House, the Universe is clearly urging us to be caring and compassionate when it comes to members of the extended family.
If a family member reaches out to you within the next two weeks, it would be smart of you to listen. If you do get the call to babysit a cousin, a niece, or a nephew, you should do it. As a matter of fact, however and wherever your time and services are required, just do the favor.
Virgo, which naturally opposes Pisces, and obviously the Third House now since she’s stationed in the Ninth, can be over-critical, really busy, facts driven, and on the go, but the South Node there is telling us that’s exactly the type of attitude and behaviors we display when people we love come knocking or calling. In comparison to Pisces, we already know Virgo is grounded, patient, and practical, but at this time, we need to make a little room for the dreamers, the lovers, and those who really do have unique personalities that are hidden or misunderstood.
As we move up the chart in a counterclockwise direction from where the moon is located, we’ll pass Venus in the Seventh House, and then arrive at Jupiter in Cancer in the Eighth House.
Caner is a sign that’s extremely good at guarding or protecting secrets and things of a rather private nature, so in the Eighth House of Death, it might be a good idea to refrain from speaking about things that important to other people. For the next two weeks, if someone comes around asking about who owns a certain property, I would just be vague and play dumb. Also, anything to do with arrests or time spent in jail, or reasons for doctor or hospital visits (medical information), I would keep all that to yourself.
We might find ourselves in a place now where certain information is coming our way, and that could really be because you worked your way up and demonstrated that you’re someone who can be trusted. Either way, just because you have access to certain information, that doesn’t mean it’s okay to share it with the rest of the world.
When it comes to other people, just stay out of it.
I can see it now; someone asks you a question about someone else-maybe a friend, family member, co-worker, patient, or client, and you innocently reveal something they wanted to keep hidden or private.
During this lunar cycle, something like that can go one of two ways.
You can keep quiet and eventually reap what Jupiter has for you at the time of the full moon, or you can talk and find yourself in the middle of a huge problem, and I’m telling you, if you reveal something out of spite, jealousy, or to be manipulative or controlling, it’s going to backfire.
