Moon Scope

January 13, 2025

Good evening! Thank you for visiting Nooz Buffet, and welcome to the first Moon Scope of the new year!

For those who are new to my website, the Moon Scope is something I usually write twice per month for the new and full moons. The title, Moon Scope, is a combination of the words horoscope and moon.

Let’s begin..

It was widely believed that the time of full moon was one of craziness, and that’s where we get the word lunatic. Thanks to popular culture, humanity was brainwashed into thinking the full moon made people crazy, but that’s not true at all. As a matter of fact, during my own research, I found that there’s more murder and a general increase in violent crimes when the crescent moon is waxing.

The full moon is a time of revelation. When the moon culminates and is 100% illuminated, we have an opportunity to gain insight, wisdom, and a better understanding of what we’re doing personally.

In the astrological sign of Cancer, the Moon is home. The Moon rules Cancer, so the influence of the Moon will be stronger. Tonight’s full moon is the first full moon of 2025, and it’s going to be powerful. Set aside a half hour in the morning and a half hour in the evening so you can meditate.

This current lunar cycle, don’t forget, began on the 30^th of December. That’s important to keep in mind because it’s the reason why there was a carryover or an overlap of certain issues. Old relationships, old patterns of behavior, and anything you wanted to leave in the past (2024), might’ve resurfaced during the first week of January, and it’s really because this lunar cycle began at the end of 2024.

If you have a list of New Year’s resolutions, stick with it. Create boundaries, and stand firm. 2025 is brand-new. The old, the outdated, the negative, the hate, the spiteful; all of that, which you decided to move on without, will make one last attempt to cling on and be apart of your life during this new year. Don’t allow it.

Cancer is a beautiful sign. It’s the cardinal sign of water that indicates loyalty. Cancer is about nurturing, sympathy, and kindness. It’s receptive, patient, and cool.

The new moon on December 30^th was in Capricorn, and Saturn rules Capricorn. When we look at the polarity of these two signs, we see Saturn, the stern ruler of limitations and restrictions.

He’s the dominant ruling with an iron fist, and the Moon in Cancer is like the submissive. With a shrewd mind, she takes it all in.

Right now, in our lives, the above scenario might apply on so many different levels, and this full moon is waking us up by bringing us face to face with the question, “How much will you continue to take?”

The cardinal quality of Cancer will have us pushing for change, and at this point, we should know exactly what we want because..

..we’ve had an overabundance of the stuff we thought we wanted, which turned out to be everything we didn’t want. Now we know.

As we move forward, Cancer is reminding us to remain loyal to the people who’ve been loyal to us. Take care of your family members, friends, and loved ones. Be patient with them and show them kindness.

It might be a good idea to spend some extra time around the house if that’s possible. Tell your mother and the women in your life that you love and appreciate them.

Pay attention to your body and how you feel. How do you feel about yourself, your life, your friends, your job, your relationships, your health? Tune in and let your intuition guide the way. If something feels wrong, then it probably is now, so don’t ignore it.

This full moon will offer us an opportunity to change the beliefs, the opinions, and the perceptions that others have of us, and when it comes to the opinions that others have of us, we’re partly to blame. Don’t be shy. Engage, and speak up for yourself.

Before the lunar cycle begins anew, a return to your roots might be necessary. Some of us might find it helpful to return to our old neighborhoods-where we grew up. Remembering what we were like, how things were, or how far we’ve come might shed light on a current situation.

I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday season, and happy new year.

Once this current lunar cycle ends, 2025 will be official.

New Year Changes

January 7, 2025

On December 20, 2024, I received a call from my brother’s girlfriend. She said he was in the hospital on a breathing ventilator. He had a car accident.

My heart was pounding when I got the call, and I felt a multitude of emotions rush through me.

The next day, my brother’s health took a turn for the better, and he began breathing on his own. I was so relieved. After thinking about the fact that could’ve be mourning his death over Christmas, and I would’ve had to begin the New Year without him, words can’t even express how grateful and thankful I was to have him back.

I changed a little bit that day, and it’s because I realized that we’re here today and gone tomorrow. There are no guarantees in this life. The last thing I said to my brother before receiving that call was, “You’re fucking miserable!”

Can you imagine losing a family member and that’s the last thing you said to them?

2025 is going to be different. It really is. I’m going to try, I’m really going to try to be in the present moment, have patience, and make the most out of the interactions I have with people, especially those I love and family members.

Because, you never know.

HAPPY NEW YEAR 2025

University of Metaphysical Sciences; Arcata, CA

January 7, 2025

In 2011, I joined the University Metaphysical Sciences in Arcata, California because of a personal calling. My Saturn return was two years in the past, and Neptune was just entering Pisces. The timing was perfect.

Right now, I’m five courses away from a bachelor’s degree in either Divinity or Metaphysical Sciences, and I’m grateful that UMS allowed for distance (online) learning at my own pace.

My experience with the school and the staff has been excellent. They’ve been helpful, supportive, and the delivery of learning materials always arrived in a timely manner.

Christine Breese, the Founder of UMS and the Gaia Sagrada Retreat Center in Ecuador, South America, operates from the heart. She’s humble, compassionate, and caring.

I’m proud of my association with UMS, and I look forward to visiting the retreat center some day.

If you feel like you’re being called to the spiritual path, or if you’re looking for a diverse curriculum covering everything from philosophy and mythology to herbs and healing modalities, then you might want to visit their website. Their link is below.

2024 Wrap Up

December 24, 2024

Well, better late than never. I wanted to publish the last post of 2024 on the 22^nd, but I’ve been so preoccupied with the holiday, work, and the situation with my brother, which by the way seems to be improving every day. I’m thankful and so grateful for that.

So, this is officially the last post of 2024, and I would like to thank all my readers, subscribers, friends, fans, and followers. I appreciate and love you all.

It’s an end of the year tradition for us to recognize and rank our international fan base. Nooz Buffet is based in the United States, and that’s where the majority of our support comes from, however, every year, there are two or three countries that get really close to catching our national numbers.

Here is the Top 5!

5. Canada

4. Ireland

3. United Kingdom

2. India

1. Kenya

The winner for 2024 was Kenya. For those who don’t know, Kenya, which is also known as the Republic of Kenya, is a country situated in East Africa. Nairobi is Kenya’s capital and largest city. Kenya is home of the Maasai Mara National reserve. It was named in honor of the Maasai People who are the ancestral inhabitants of the area. Locally, it’s known as “The Mara,” and you can find lions, leopards, cheetahs, and African bush elephants there. Thank you so much for your support Kenya, and thank you Canada, Ireland, United Kingdom, and India!

🎈🎉🧨🎇🎆💚🧡❤💜

I’d also like to thank Terri Conroy from the YouTube channel, Danu’s Irish Herb Garden. Terri is amazing. She’s kind and caring, and I love watching her videos. I have several books in my personal collection about natural cures and remedies, herbs, herbal usage, and the overall folklore and mythologies that accompany green living, and when I saw Terri’s video for the first time, I saw her as the embodiment and living personification of something that I was only reading about. If you’re interested, she has an account on Sub Stack, and she publishes a short video on her YouTube channel every Sunday.

Thank you for all your help.

💚💚🍀🧡🧡

I would to thank all the people who purchased Astrological Readings, and all the people who visited Nooz Buffet every time I had something to say. I hope your holiday season is warm, peaceful, and relaxing.

I’ll see you 2025!

Current Alignment Presents Opportunity to Move Forward

December 9, 2024

Good morning.

With the Moon sitting on the “Zero” degree point of Aries, we feel a sense of renewal, and rightfully so. A look at the astrological chart for the current time (8:45 a.m.) shows the Moon on the cusp or border in between Pisces and Aries, and the Moon is also on the cusp or border in between the Second and Third Houses.

The key alignment is twofold. The opposition between the Moon and the Moon’s south means that a line has been drawn, and we must make a decision. If we decide to go the way of the Moon, then we realize there’s a conjunction between the Moon and the Moon’s north node.

If the north node is the way for this lifetime, then this decision should be obvious.

We can, if we chose to do so, put the past aside now, and begin looking towards the future. The north node is in Third House, and the Moon is in the Second House. It’s a great time to open up conversations about the things we physically own and the money we’re in possession of.

With the south node in Libra, the north node in Aries, and the Moon in Pisces, there’s a pretty clear message. If we chose to let the south node go, then we also let the other go. It’s time now for us to concentrate on ourselves and make our lives a priority. Dealing with the other has been a long journey, and it has drained us of our time, our love, our resources, and our energy.

In Pisces, the Moon’s position reminds us to be compassionate, but at same time, the north node in Aries reveals that this is really about us. Aries is the first sign of the zodiac, and the sign that represents the spring equinox. It’s a time of renewal, creativity, love, and fire. If you’re resonating with the spirits of Aries and Mars now, then forge ahead.

Put yourself first, and don’t feel guilty about it.

Conversations now could involve your spirituality or religious pursuits. Maybe you’ve been dying to speak with a tarot card reader, an astrologer, or a psychic. You might even want to talk to a higher power or meditate.

You could also be discussing the things you own as they pertain to your faith or religious beliefs.

Purchase something new today, even if it’s something small and inexpensive. Treat yourself, you’ll be happy you did.

As the last sign of the zodiac, Pisces is probably the most mysterious, but we’re moving forward with a renewed sense of faith.

Just Be Yourself

December 6, 2024

Currently, the Moon is 33% illuminated in the astrological sign of Aquarius. The Seventh House Moon is connected by sextile with Chiron in the Ninth House, and it’s connected by trine with Jupiter in the Eleventh House.

Relationships and partnerships are highlighted now. These relationships could involve coworkers, lovers, friends, and general acquaintances.

Chiron in the cardinal fire sign, Aries, shows that healing or repairing requires us to find the courage to do so. Aries is the “I Am” sign, and right now, it’s most important for us to be ourselves. Be assertive, and don’t be afraid to be a leader.

Jupiter, the planet of expansion, is rewarding us for speaking our peace. Gemini is all about self-expression, and we know how much Gemini’s love living in their heads and their little worlds, but while doing so, we’ve taken and absorbed a lot recently.

There’s a time to listen, and there’s a time to speak. Within our relationships and partnerships, it’s time to be heard. It’s time for our partners to hear how we feel, and where we stand on certain issues. New doors and new opportunities will open up for us once our partners and friends know how we feel.

We’re not mind readers.

This is also a time to take the initiative and perhaps, go out of our way to meet new people and make new friends. Getting away from the hustle and bustle to mediate and to have time alone to be with our thoughts is always good to do, but take notice on the amount of time you’re actually spending alone.

Companionship and friendship is important. Constant loneliness isn’t healthy. Chiron is offering us healing through partnerships, so the people we meet now, we might need more than we think. Don’t be so quick to walk away.

Ask for help if you need it. Tell the people close to you that you love them.

Bury the hatchet with siblings.

Pluto Conjunct Moon; Morning Drama Offers Valuable Lesson

December 5, 2024

Good morning Beloved.

This morning’s conjunction between the Moon and Pluto in the First House , which is in trine with the Moon’s south node in the Ninth House, could bring back issues from the past. Emotional disturbances could be the result.

Today, you’re not the person you were a year ago. Today, you’re not the person you were five years. You shouldn’t be, and if you are, then you’re not growing.

We often have experiences that push us and knock us off center, but the key is to not spiral out of control. Make your point, remake it if it’s necessary, and then move on.

Certain things take time, it’s just the way it is. The south node in the Ninth House indicates a long journey of some sort or something that’s taking a long time to come to fruition. Although you’re prepared for the long haul, the people around you might not be.

It might even be hard for them to understand why you do the things you. Confused and lost they have no alternative but to infiltrate your world for answers. It isn’t right for them to do that, but we cannot control what other people do.

The Sun on the 13th degree of Sagittarius reveals that we’re still dealing with unresolved issues, so the interpretation of the Moon’s trine with the south node is correct, but the key question here is who these issues belong to.

Aquarius is a futuristic sign, and with the Moon and Pluto conjoined there, it’s possible that you’re so far ahead that you’re beyond everything. The only way people can get anything out of you is by throwing the past up to your face. They hope you respond. Ideally, we don’t want to give them the satisfaction, but some things are hard to ignore.

If you’re like me, we take responsibility for our actions. We look inward. We look at every experience and every interaction as a chance to learn and grow. Not everyone is that way. Some people are happy arguing. Some people complain and complain, and when you give them advice because you care about them, they ignore the advice.

It’s draining.

Right now, at this time, issues from the past are coming back around, that’s for sure, but if you’re healed and already over these issues, then you must remove yourself from the company of those who aren’t. If you don’t, you’ll find yourself arguing over other people’s unhealed trauma.

This day will get better, but be sure to take something away from the early morning drama.

Moon Scope

December 1, 2024

It’s Sunday, the first day of December, and a new lunar cycle is beginning today. It’s a great day to mediate, regroup, and review your 29-day-plan. Some of us may be feeling a wave of excitement, energetic, and ambitious.

The creative fire of Sagittarius is fed with optimism. Maintain an upbeat attitude, and do your best to seem interested even if you’re not.

You’ve been knocking on a door all day and all night, but no one is answering. Someone was home, and they heard you knocking, but after looking through the peephole and seeing an upset face, they decided not to. You weren’t really upset, that was just their perception of you.

So, this time, knock with a smile, and watch as the door finally opens up for you.

As the days pass and we get into the crescent phase, some sort of action will need to be taken. Don’t be afraid to explore, and don’t be afraid or too close-minded to try new things. Visit new places, eat new foods, and talk to different people. If there’s nothing holding you back, then go.

With a new moon in Sagittarius, this cycle would great for addressing large audiences, registering for classes or certifications, or traveling, but whatever it is that you decide to do, do it without fear. Do it with the intent of becoming better educated and more evolved. This is about growth, branching out, and broadening your horizons. It’s about expansion; going further and doing more.

Just like the door.

Knocking wasn’t enough. Now, you need to knock and smile. You’re openness to change will put you in the mix of new experiences and challenges, and that’s where growth comes from.

Maybe you’ll make some bad decisions, maybe you’ll make some good ones, but don’t get to concerned with good and bad because you’ll learn something from both. The important thing is that you just do it. Get involved and worry about everything else later.

Here’s where we begin to follow the Archer’s Arrow angled towards wisdom, and attempt to remove ourselves, as much as possible from the human condition and things that upset us.

This lunar cycle will culminate on December 15th with a full moon in Gemini. It will be a time of revelations, and in addition to that, Gemini, The Twins, could be foreshadowing something. Maybe, during the next two weeks, while we’re out and about and enjoying our freedom, we’ll have met someone who turns out be a person of great importance. It could be a friend, a lover, or a business partner.

Maybe we won’t be alone for Christmas after all.

Establishing Identity

November 26, 2024

I feel asleep early tonight. I think I was a little sick, and a little tired from work. When I woke up, I made my way over to my computer to see what the astrological chart for the moment looked like.

There was a perfect Star of David made by the aspect lines in the center circle, but the Star was actually more than a Star because there were two pediments on both sides that turned the triangles into kite formations.

Intersecting kites are super rare.

So, I then looked at the time, and time read, 11:27 p.m. The date read, 11/26/2024. In exactly 33 minutes, it would be midnight, and the date would change to time of the chart, 11/27.

Immediately, I saw this was a very special and very important chart.

As you can see, this sacred geometric pattern is created by the alignments of the South Node, the Sun, Pluto, Neptune, the Midheaven, and Mars.

Since the South Node is present, something is coming back from your past. This could be a lesson you haven’t learned, it could be a wound that you thought you healed but didn’t, it could be something you started and never finished, and it could be something that you passed up on when you were younger but now all of a sudden you have an interest in. There’s a home environment conducive to learning, wisdom, and freedom. The Sun in Sagittarius in the fourth could indicate the will power to move forward with homeschooling, online courses, and a program you began and never finished.

If you’re not learning or working from home, then it’s from the home that you’ll forge ahead and seek the challenges that will ultimately define who you are.

From the Sun’s position, we move 120 degrees to where Neptune is in the Seventh House. Keep an eye on the people you allow into your life. Make sure they’re on board with what you’re doing, and they’re supportive of your dreams and hopes for the future. The trine, an aspect of good fortune, indicates relationships of a deeper nature- spiritual and compassionate.

You might not have much, but people will see that you have a plan and you’re trying. They’ll approach from a place of sincerity. Now, with careful selection, you can bring the people into your life that can help you. Make sure you’re clear-minded and sober of mind.

Mars in the Eleventh House indicates that this is something you’ve been fighting for. There’s something that, perhaps, you’ve spent a long time working towards and putting a lot of personal time and effort into. The pediment takes the trine between the Fourth House Sun, Neptune in the Seventh, and Mars in the Eleventh, and connects them to the Midheaven.

Whatever you’re working towards will manifest in a good way in your Tenth House. You’re finally ready to get that job, you’re mature enough for that promotion, and you’ve evolved enough to finally understand that old lesson and heal yourself.

You’re reputation within the community will improve, and people will begin to see you in a good light. Expect new friendships, and an increase of invitations of all kinds. It’s time to put yourself in a position so that people can get to know you.

It’s not that we owe anyone anything, but we realized something. People, are going to talk about us. It doesn’t matter if we’re present or absent, they’re going to talk about us either way. If you haven’t already done so, you must show up for yourself, and all the negative talk and rumors will stop.

The Sabian Symbol for the 4th degree of Libra reveals a group of people sitting around a campfire. This is spiritual communion, and sitting around a campfire can be a deep and personally motivating experience. Before setting out on our journey, we meet around the campfire for inspiration, to catchup on time lost, and to toss into the fire whatever we no longer need.

In the Second House of Possessions, we make use out of something we have. There’s harmony, balance, and love with Libra in the Second House, and maybe it took a while for us to see this. Maybe the lesson for us was to see that the Second House isn’t necessarily about money and physical possessions.

Love and harmony aren’t tangible, but they’re things we can have. The presence of Libra also indicates justice. Maybe, things in your life were at a standstill because the universe needed to work some things out. Well, the dust is settling, and the future is beautiful.

At this time, we must have the self-confidence to take the stage, to be in the spotlight, and to set out on our personal journeys so we can take our thoughts, ideas, and our dreams, and manifest them into reality. That’s the connection between the ascendant in Virgo and Mars in Leo. Right now, we’re fighting for our future. We’re establishing our identity.
