Gemini’s Current Stop in the 9th House

Friends, Fans, and Followers;

Good Evening!

The astrological 9th House is an interesting place. In the 9th House, we can find information regarding international traveling. The 9th House is known as the home of long-distance journeys and long journeys in general.

If you wanted to take a trip that required leaving the country, the 9th House is where you’d look, but in general terms, long journeys can apply to different things. If you decided to attend college and major in communication, well, by the time you graduate and earn that degree in communication, you’ll be able to look back on that experience and say “it was a long journey”.

What about a person who wakes up one day and realizes they need to get help overcoming an addiction that took over their life? Recovery and sobriety is a long journey.

What about the athlete who breaks a bone or tears a muscle playing the sport they love? Healing and re-strengthening the afflicted area can be a long journey depending on how severely they were injured.

The first book I wrote was titled Smorgasbord, and then I wrote a sequel, and finally, I decided the series needed a third book. That was a long journey. Writing a book can be a long journey.

The path of spirituality, from the time of your initial awakening to the time of self-discovery, individuation, enlightenment, and the acquisition of healing or super-natural abilities is a long journey.

The 9th House also holds information related to philosophical and metaphysical issues.

When it comes to communication, because the 9th House is opposite of the 3rd, it deals with communication on a much broader, wider, and higher level. If speaking to a friend is a 3rd House issue, then speaking to a large audience or having a job as a radio broadcaster would be a 9th House issue. Writing a letter would be a 3rd House thing, and writing a book would be a 9th House thing.

♊ Gemini ♊

Popularly, Gemini is known as the sign of the Twins, and while that is true, Gemini, on a much deeper level, is the sign of Brotherly Love. In the constellation Gemini, there are two stars known as Castor and Pollux. The Romans and the Greeks knew Castor and Pollux as brothers, and one day when Castor was killed, Pollux went to his father, Zeus, and asked if he could trade places with his brother. Zeus suggested that Pollux share his immortality with his brother, and that’s what he did.

Gemini represents the undying selfless love that shared between two brothers, a love so strong that one brother would not be able to live without the other. That’s powerful love.

With Gemini in the 9th House, we come face to face with two sides of the self. There’s the new you, the transformed you, and the you that’s standing at the end of the journey. He’s looking back at his old self, the self that was injured, addicted to drugs, or immature and uneducated at the beginning of some long process.

With that old self, as much as we may have loved the time and the memories that the old self produced, we have no alternative but to let it all go now that the journey is over.

In addition to that example, there’s something more. A long journey is something that is not only personal but something one must be personally motivated to embark on. It is often on these long journeys, where people are following their hearts, that we meet the people we have the most in common with. Two people journeying through life may meet here in the 9th House and either fall in love, or form a friendship that lasts a lifetime.

Gemini is also a mutable air sign. This tells us that intelligence, adaptable intelligence is the way forward. For example, sometimes we think we have all the answers. Then, we soon find out that what we’ve always thought or known to be, was inaccurate or completely false. Well, you’re survival through the 9th House depends on your ability to move forward adapting to new truths, or beliefs.

Gemini, because of it’s dual nature, is an excellent sign to have in the 9th House. Before embarking on any journey, a person would want to collect as much information and learn as much as possible. Gemini represents the ability of learning or having the knowledge present of both the light and the dark. When Gemini is in the 9th House, there’s a rare opportunity present.

Take advantage.

Sun and Moon Placements; A Sign of the Time

Wednesday, March 6, 2024

Good Morning Beloved!

Th current alignment for the Sun and Moon are as follows;

Sun 16 Pisces

Moon 24 Capricorn

With the Sun on the 16th degree of Pisces, spirituality is brought into focus, and it should be apparent that life and most of everything in it has a natural flow or rhythm.

Pisces is feminine mutable water.  Do not resist what the inner voice says to you today and tomorrow.  Inspiration and the push forward comes from intuition, so, believe in yourself and the faith that grounds you.

In the hard working and dedicated sign of Capricorn, emotionally, we’re encouraged to remain persistent.  Sometimes, life has a way of beating us down, but we don’t have to stay down.  On the flip side of this, you may feel upset or discouraged from not getting an opportunity or a chance to move on with your life.

As the Sun and Moon work together, we can feel the energies in their rawest forms.  We’re grounded by earth once we have a chance to experience what feels right to us, and that gives us a clearer mind to listen to and follow intuition.

The key now is seeking peace and serenity because as long as you’re acting with love in your heart, the universe will show you the way forward.

As I’m writing this my beloved, I sympathize with those of you who might be in a situation where it’s impossible to get centered, and once you do, someone or something knocks you off balance.

I suggest reading the Sabian Symbol for Pisces 17 again.  The answers for this dilemma can be found there and at Neptune’s placement on the 26th degree of Pisces.  

I really felt compelled to at least make an attempt to try to explain this current time we’re in despite the fact that most people will either dismiss it or not understand.  

But then I saw a sign revealing the current time.

On this website, I’ve talked a lot about the work of other people, Cal Garrison being one of them. She wrote the Weiser Field Guide to Ascension, which was published in 2010. I think it was around that time that I purchased and read it for the first time, but it’s still in my possession and I’ve read it many times since 2010.

Every time I read it, something new appears. On page 211, it says:

That two-year window came to a close at the end of October 2009. If you’re reading this book, chances are it is late spring or perhaps the early summer of 2010 (early summer 2010 for me). Some have predicted that the ascension would be a thing of the past before anyone opened these pages; others told us it was sure to happen in August of 2010, which means that this field guide is either gone with the wind or is about to provide everyone with a down-to-the-wire Cliff’s Notes for an event that is slated to take place in no time at all. If all of us are still present and accounted for, at this point it might be good to look at how we’re going to approach the ascension and consider the reality of the pole shift in more detail.

Cal Garrison

I highlighted gone with the wind and pole shift.

Well, I shared with all of you my astrological birth chart, and I showed all of you how my nodal axis is aligned between Pisces and Aquarius, and Virgo and Leo. That not only means that my nodal axis is aligned properly with the time marking the beginning and end of the Grand Cycle, but it’s aligned properly to mark the suspected times of earth’s pole shifts, which is approximately every 13,000 years.

They said before we entered the time of this shift, there would be an awakening. I described my personal awakening in a YouTube video recently, but I just realized last week, that current position of the outer planets point to what I experienced in 2013, and what Garrison was talking about in her book.

Neptune 26 degrees Pisces, Pluto 1 degree Aquarius, and Uranus 19 degrees Taurus.

If you’re following the Sabian Symbols for those placements, then you’ll see that:

Pluto represents the “Old Adobe Mission” If you read Garrison’s book then you know the importance of the pueblo or the old adobe mission.

Neptune represents the realization of faith and the Soul’s freedom to choose

Uranus represents the Awakening

The current alignment of the outer planets is just now starting to point at ascension. In addition to that I just saw this:

The picture above is a still shot from the YouTube Short video I made in 2019 or 2020 to advertise my new book. Look in the upper left hand corner.

“Gone With the Wind” just like it says on page 211 in Garrison’s Book.

I sit here every day, when I’m not working, and I wonder why I haven’t accumulated any money. I even wrote an article on here about how it seems like I find myself in poverty every 12 years. How can that be? I’ve written three books, I’ve been running my own website, which is monetized for six years, I work, I have a college degree, and on and on…

How am I poor? Why am I poor? In my relentless pursuit of the almighty dollar, I turned to Garrison’s book once again and that’s when I saw on page 210:

Perhaps, I’ve been fighting against this natural flow of life. Maybe, there’s something I need to accomplish before I can start making money. Right here, in the Weiser Field Guide to Ascension, it says that at this time, knowing who we are is more important than making money.

Maybe, for me personally, my inability to make money is the result of me fighting against the natural flow of life. You cannot walk without crawling first.

There are levels and steps to everything, and how ironic is it that according to the astrological birth chart, the first house is the House of Self, and the second House is the House of Money and Possessions.

With Easter coming up at the end of this month, the alignment of the outer planets, the new discoveries I’ve made in Garrison’s book, and everything else I’ve seen, heard, and experienced, I’m recognizing that the time is now.

So, where do we go from here?

Part of Fortune Placement

In an astrological chart, the Part of Fortune, a little symbol that looks like a circle with a cross in the center, could show a position of worldly success. It’s a place of luck that involves the physical body and one’s health.

The Part of Fortune is not a planet, it’s a mathematical point that requires the degrees of your Sun, Moon, and Rising Sign. Yesterday morning, at 10:47 AM, the Part of Fortune was located near the top of the chart in the 10th House on the 17th degree of Pisces. The Sabian Symbol there reads: Pisces 17 “An Easter Promenade”.

The first thing worth mentioning is that Easter is coming up on the 31st of this month, and Easter, which in Greek is called Pascha, is the feast to celebrate the Resurrection of the Lord.

A resurrection, a fresh start, a rebirth, and a new beginning is what we have to look forward to. The Sabian for Pisces 17 talks about how humans dress up and attend certain functions in society, church being one of them.

The deeper meaning of this symbol goes beyond our need to dress up in our “Sunday Best” for attention because the image we present to the world characterizes our inner and hidden sense of self.

According to the description of Pisces 17 on https://www.jamesburgess.com/an-easter-promenade.html,

we, in a way, idealize ourselves by dressing up, and by doing so, we gain insight into the ideal. That brings us to the most important part of this:

Unless our society allows us to celebrate ourselves as we choose to be, it is not our society. We need our idealised self-image accepted or we cannot realise it.

Variety and extremes of self-exhibition can often lack grace, even to the point of being ridiculous, yet they test our social environment, so they have genuine value. If we find that our Easter persona doesn’t fit – then maybe our workaday personality doesn’t either, and we need to find a better place, or way, to be.

www.jamesburgess.com

If our idealized self-image isn’t accepted, we cannot realize it (Self-Realization). If your society doesn’t allow you to celebrate yourself as you chose to be, then it’s not your society.

Okay, then, at this point we must consider changing something. Maybe we need to move to a different place that does accept the idealized self-image we have of ourselves.

The importance of this placement falls in line with Easter Sunday and the opportunity for rebirth or a fresh start. Unbelievable Synchronicity!

For a deeper understanding of the POF’s placement in Pisces on the 17th degree, we look to the placement of Neptune, the ruler of Pisces. Neptune is also in Pisces on the 26th degree, but in the 11th House, not the 10th.

The 11th House deals with our future, the friendships we have, and the groups and organizations we may interact with. Through the placement of Neptune, we learn from our higher selves, that this is really about the realization of faith.

Pisces 26, which is where Neptune was yesterday, talks about the freedom of choice. The freedom of choice is what we need if we want to make the necessary changes according to Pisces 17.

If you want the freedom of choice, you have to allow others to have the same-thing, the freedom to chose. At the Soul level, we’re actively creating our lives and our futures, even though a lot of people don’t realize this. If our human soul is creating our future, the it needs to have the freedom to chose what comes next.

Are you pissed off? Feeling stuck?

Feeling like you’re in a rut?

Feeling like you’re stuck in a repeating cycle of events?

Pisces 17 is spiritual, and too much conformity to the extent of robbing the soul of its freedom to chose, will crush the spiritual side of humans.

Free your soul, rebirth is right around the corner.

25 Degrees Sagittarius

February 19, 2024 at 7:40 AM

The Sabian Symbol for the 25th degree of Sagittarius, “A Chubby Boy on a Hobby Horse,” is described as using your imagination to build an ideal life. According to, jamesburgess.com, if we want to be powerful and successful then we need to imagine it and expect it first.

Two years before I graduated high school, I painted a picture of myself in an orange and black football uniform with the number 44. The colors of my high school football team were dark blue and light blue, and at the time, I didn’t have a clue if or where I would be playing when high school was over.

Two years later, when it was all said and done, I was recruited by the William Paterson University Pioneers in New Jersey. Someone had already grabbed the jersey number 44, but their colors were orange and black. I played the next four years at William Paterson.

Interestingly enough, Neptune, in my natal chart was close, off by only two degrees, but this morning at 7:40 AM, the Mc was on the 25th degree of Sagittarius.

The Midheaven, which is also the 10th House cusp, represents the highest part of the chart. The door is open if you would like to manifest a future for yourself through the use of imagination.

Opposite the Mc, is this interesting conjunction between the asteroid Goddess, Astraea, and the Moon. What’s playing into your current stirring of inner emotions and the subconscious has to do with balance, justice, and harmony.

The Moon in Cancer on the 4th degree in the 4th house symbolizes protection. Astraea on the 29th degree of Gemini in the 4th House symbolizes our need to communicate- our need to verbalize our thoughts and get our opinions and view points out there. It’s communication in relation to justice to protect ourselves, what familiar to us, our neighborhoods, and our home.

Astraea’s conjunction with the moon forms a quincunx with Pluto on the 0 degree of Aquarius in the 11th House. This will bring hidden or secretive knowledge to you, and there could be health issues involved.

Whatever you need to get out or communicate, please do so. Don’t hold back, because you’re defending yourself or proving your case.

Now, there’s a tradeoff with this conjunction, and that plays into our favor because with Astraea present, there’s only so much we can do, and there’s only so far we can go.

The tradeoff is the opposition to the Mc. If you’ve done all you could and said all you could say, but you’re still getting no where, then it’s time to flip to the other side of the opposition and trade Astraea’s conjunction with the Moon for the 25th degree of Sagittarius and imagine something better for yourself.

I Caught Me an Internet Thief This Morning!

I’m a man of my word!

I told you guys in my poem, Purification, “I’m up late and stay awake to catch these dirty snakes. “I’m up late and stay awake to catch these dirty snakes.”

The poem, well, you can find that if you scroll to the bottom of the homepage, use the drop down menu titled categories, and then click on poetry, but it wasn’t the poem that was stolen and used without express written permission.

It was a video that I made and posted to the Nooz Buffet Facebook Page in September of 2023. I proposed a question about the Sun and Moon occupying the same sky, and then I made a video to show what I was talking about.

Here’s the link to my video, posted, 9/3/2023.

https://www.facebook.com/reel/129397160248816

I’m not going to publicize the thief, because my complaining seems to be making him famous.

But what I can tell you is this; he copied my video exactly as I made it in 2023, showing the sun first, then zooming in on the moon. There was no audio, but the video was an exact copy.

This scumbag didn’t even reference me!

I guess he thought if he stole my video idea from my NB Facebook Page, and then post it to his Twitter account, then no one would notice.

I noticed! IT’S MY MATERIAL!


Antarctica; The Plot Thickens

February 14, 2024

A long time ago, at least fifteen years, I saw a picture of Antarctica on Wikipedia that showed a circle around it, and the circle was divided into different size sections to represent the territories owned by various countries around the world.

Over the years, many wealthy individuals and people in government visited Antarctica. There are many rumors concerning what’s actually down there, and I have several theories of my own.

What is actually there? 

Ordinary people like us, well, we might go our entire lives not knowing the truth. Unless you have a ton of money, know someone with influence or in government, or have the balls to just get up and go there, you’ll have to depend on what people tell you.

Many people think there’s nothing worth hiding. They trust those who travelled there to report the truth back to them, and they believe what they’re told. ”Why would they lie to us or hide anything?” This question pretty much sums up how they feel about things.

But, how about this? I never heard of anyone going to Antarctica to visit. Anyone who goes there usually goes for science and exploration, until…

I just saw this article.

https://abcnews.go.com/GMA/Travel/norwegian-cruise-line-passengers-claim-antarctica-voyage-rerouted/story?id=107222296

Apparently, a Norwegian Cruise scheduled to take its passengers around South America, and then to Paradise Bay, Antarctica, was mysteriously rerouted 200-miles off course. The cruise ship never made it Antarctica, even though that’s what passengers paid for. 

Check out the article for yourself. This just proves my theories that people with money and political power are hiding something there. 

Nooz Now

Tuesday, February 13, 2024

🏈NFL: It’s old news now, but the Kansas City Chiefs won the Super Bowl after beating the San Francisco 49ers in overtime, 25-23. Patrick Mahomes completed 34 of 46 passes for 333 yards and two touchdowns. 

💻Internet: Honestly, outside of this website and the promoting I do for my books, I try to steer clear of internet news because in my opinion, it would almost be the same thing as watching the news on television all day. Well, this morning I woke up at 3 AM, and because I couldn’t go back to sleep, I decided to indulge on my X (Twitter) feed. Everything is violence, sex, lies, propaganda, and just a bunch of stuff that’s not really news worthy. 

Please, do not let the internet agitate you, and don’t let it control your perception of what this life is really about. It just amazes me that we live during a time when anyone can get publicity for free. At one time, people sold themselves out for money, but people are obviously doing it for free today. 

☸Astrology: The astrology for today looks something like this: The Sun, right now, is on the 24th degree of Aquarius in the 1st House. The Moon is on the 13th degree of Aries in the 2nd House. Aquarius is the sign on the horizon and the ascendant is on the 10th degree. Given the current placements for the Sun and Moon, who we are and what we have are highlighted. The 2nd House is the house of personal possessions, and money is included in that area. The 1st House is all about you, the self. I just pulled a chart last night and I think the 11th House Moon in Aries was sextile to Mars in Capricorn in the 9th House. 

The chart this morning really compliments the placement from last night because Aries is an aggressive go-getter type of sign. With Aries now in the 2nd House and the Moon still in its crescent phase, we’re getting the green light once again to pursue the things we need in life. Last night was long journeys in the 9th House and this morning it’s money and possessions in the 2nd House. Both contribute to the first house, especially money. If you think in terms of you and how the people around you see you, then you quickly understand the importance of money as a means to change that appearance you’re presenting. 

I have some heavy karmic lessons I’m dealing with in this life between the 8th House and the 2nd House, and because of that, I can confidently share this with you. Money is not the most important thing in life, but in the system we live in, it’s absolutely necessary. You can’t do much without money. 

Now that that has been said, and we all get it I’m sure, the biggest lesson here is that money makes it very hard for you to see the real you, it’s only without it that you finally get to see who you truly are. Yes, it’s true that money is included in the 2nd House of possessions, but don’t let your need for money dominate. The relationships we have in life are probably the most important. Don’t argue with your loved ones because you’re without money, be grateful and appreciative that you have people around you who love and care about you. That polarity between the 2nd and the 8th House is probably the hardest to balance because our need for money supersedes everything.

📰In the News: 📌Eastern Pennsylvania is getting bombed with snowfall. 

📌Apparently, Justin Bieber turned down an opportunity to perform at the Super Bowl, I guess they wanted him to sing, “Yummy Yummy Yummy Yummy 🎶🎵”. 

📌I don’t know the details, but people in India are worshipping a huge elephant.

📌There might be an issue between former NFL star Shannon Sharpe and comedian, Mike Epps. It’s believed that they’ll discuss their differences when they meet in Indianapolis for NBA All-Star Weekend. No joke!

📌I had no idea that country singer Toby Keith died in 2022 from stomach cancer. That’s noo nooz to me, so I’ll share it with all of you. 

📌I don’t know if you guys saw it, but there’s a picture circulating on the internet of the Grand Canyon and what appears to be the remains of a Sphinx and a pyramid. After looking at the picture myself, it definitely looks like we could’ve at one time, had a Sphinx right here in the United States.

 

My Obligation Through Astrology

February 12, 2024

It is with brimming excitement that I write this. I wrote a similar article several weeks ago concerning synchronization, and so, this article serves as not only a reinforcement, but it also cements my belief in the obligation I have to all of you because of the God-given ability I’ve been given for astrology.

The option of going back to school has been on the table for quite some time now, and this morning I decided to put all the doubts behind me and move forward with furthering my education. 

After doing so, I decided once again to take a peek at the alignment of planets in the “chart of the moment” provided by astro.com. 

The waxing crescent Moon, was in the 11th House in Aries, sextile (60 degrees) Mars in the 9th House in Capricorn.

The message there is for you to go after the future you would like to see for yourself!

The 11th House represents friendships, groups and clubs pertaining to work and networking, wishes, dreams, long-term pleasure, and the future. 

The 9th House represents higher education, deep philosophical concepts and conversations, long journeys pertaining to the spirit, health, relationships, or education, and long-distance journeys outside the country. 

With Mars in Capricorn, the energy there is supporting the commencement of a long journey. Capricorn is the nose-to-the-grindstone sign that’s hardworking. Ruled by Saturn, the Planet of limitations, Capricorn represents rewards through hard work. Mars there is telling us to go for it and go after it. 

Once again, my actions are right in sync with the universe, and this is so clear now, that I have to report the astrology to you guys. I almost feel obligated. 

I hope you guys have a blessed week.
