Moon-Scope; mental stimulation

Sunday April 24, 2022

On Saturday April 24, the Moon will be in the astrological sign of Aquarius. Aquarius is a masculine sign with fixed air. Aquarius is analytical, independent, original, and the natives usually hold firm to their opinions. When the Moon enters the Water Bearer, there’s a devotion to mental and intellectual pursuits. Buried deep below in the subconscious, there are many things swirling around. The Moon highlights humanity. How can the world be a better place? What can we do to improve the quality of life? The Moon highlights hopes and wishes, but more specifically, those things that seem out of reach and unattainable.

The popular perception of Aquarius is getting a little off track, and I know this because I am one. They say Aquarius is the rebel of the zodiac, but a more accurate way of describing the Water Bearer would be to say they have a knack for calling attention to things that are unfair and don’t make sense.

If you create a game and set the rules, Aquarians will follow those rules, until, they wake up and realize they’re the only ones following the rules. It’s a progressive sign, and in order for progress to be made, things need to change. The feminine Moon aids Aquarius in this area, which can become ridged and serious at times. Life is a journey, and the Moon helps Aquarius gain focus so the ride is more enjoyable.

The 🌖Moon is in ♒Aquarius in the 3rd House 🏠.

When it’s 10 PM here on the east coast, it will be 7 PM on the west coast, and the moon will be in the 3rd House. This is about short distance journeys this is about the neighborhood, and education on a foundational level. Things are changing in the 3rd House, especially as far as early education is concerned. There was a time when homeschooling wasn’t popular, but today, more and more parents are choosing to home school their children.

If you’re feeling restless in the house or you’re board, go for a drive. Take a drive around the neighborhood, who knows maybe you’ll see someone you know. We all love the conveniences that technology provides, but little by little, we’re being pushed to stay in our homes. (I talked about that in one of my posts.) The third house deals heavily with intellect and your mind. You must find ways to keep your mind stimulated; there’s only so much movie watching and crossword puzzles you can do. We all need to get out more and interact with one another. And that’s what Aquarius is also about; large groups of friends that we meet through social circles.

Just a reminder, we’re almost at the new moon, this phase we’re currently in, which is at 38%, is only revealing a small portion of what’s going on with 3rd House issues.

The key phrase for Aquarius is “I Know.” When it comes to likes and dislikes, and personal opinions, they really do know, and that’s the basis for the inventiveness behind the genius. There’s a lesson here though for all the signs and the humans who fall under them, because Aquarians aren’t the only sign capable of great things.

The 3rd House is one those personal houses where we’re still dealing with and establishing ourselves as we prepare for the world that awaits. It’s through our interaction with our immediate environment that we establish our opinions, and discover what we like and dislike. At the very least, establish that for yourself.

Luck Numbers are 1 and 7.

Have a wonder day, a blessed evening, and a great day tomorrow.

Moon-Scope; Don’t Look a Gift Horse in the Mouth

April 21, 2022

🌖 Moon in ♑ Capricorn

Hello everyone! The Moon is currently in the astrological sign of Capricorn, where it will remain until tomorrow, Friday the 22nd. Without looking to see, “don’t look a gift horse in the mouth” I’m pretty sure means to not push your luck. If someone is kind enough or generous enough to give you something or do something for you, just take it and say thank you. What’s the connection? Capricorn rules goats and cloven hoofed animals-that means horses.

That being said, something unexpected my be coming your way. Don’t question where it came from, who, why, or how. Just accept it, and be on your way. Chances are, it’s well deserved. Capricorn is patient in its search for security. The Goat is also reserved, but when the time is right, she’s quick to seize the opportunity. When the Moon is in Capricorn, we sit back in a sense, and meticulously feel around for what’s pleasing to us. Problems are encountered when we finally attempt to seize what we’ve been working for and waiting on because suddenly, it’s not accessible.

For whatever reason; it’s blocked, someone’s in the way, there is no more, and so on. The lesson here is flexibility and in the balance, lies your happiness. We have to get creative, formulate new plans, and take alternate routes or ideas into consideration. One way or the other, we will get what we deserve, what’s owed, and what we’ve worked for. When the Moon’s in Capricorn we’ll figure out the smartest, most dedicated, and most disciplined ways of doing that.

Capricorn says “I USE.” When the Moon blends with Capricorn, no stone is left unturned, and every step is exhausted before the next is taken.

The 🌖Moon in ♑Capricorn in the 2nd House🏠.

When it’s 10 o’clock PM here on the east coast, it will be 7 o’clock out on the west coast, and the moon will be in Capricorn in the 2nd House. Naturally, Capricorn dwells in the 10th house, the house of public standing and career. So, lets bring the 10th house theme into the 2nd House. When the Moon blends with Capricorn the energies manifest in the arena of possessions. You will get whatever you want if you work for it in a disciplined and smart way. Saturn is involved here as the ruler of Capricorn, so you know whatever is going on involves discipline. All things in due time.

If you have been busting your ass and killing it at work, some type of recognition or reward is likely.

It’s the spring season. Usually when the spring arrives, it’s out with the old and in with the new. If you haven’t done that, it’s the perfect time to do so. Spend some time thinking about how you can bring harmony to your home. It doesn’t have to be anything extravagant either; maybe a new centerpiece, flowers, or curtains.

At work, you seek praise and honor. If you want the bosses to notice you, spend some time thinking about how you can capture their attention. Make sure you have everything you need to be successful at the work you do.

Lucky Day for Capricorn: Saturday

Lucky Numbers are 2 and 8.

On Saturday, April 23, the Moon will be in its last quarter. Tonight, it’s 71% and waning, which means the visibility of the results from the last cycle is shrinking. I might’ve started analyzing the moon when it was full, and if that’s the case then I would take away from this cycle whatever you need, let the rest go, and we’ll start fresh on the 30th when the new moon arrives in Taurus.

Good night everyone, and thanks for visiting. Smorgasbord 2 Catch Up and Relish is available for purchase in paperback form, and you can find that online at Barnes and Noble, Amazon, and almost anywhere books are sold. I think we have about another week or two until the e-book is available.

Have a blessed night and a wonderful day tomorrow.

🤞🗽❤

Moon-Scope; It’s all About You!

Sagittarius is masculine fire, and fire signs find themselves in situations where they’re able to learn lessons involving patience. Fire signs yield to their natives one of the greatest gifts of all, wisdom, but fire signs are emotionally charged. It’s hard to learn when we’re letting our emotions control us. With open arms, the Archer welcomes the Moon’s calm and patient demeanor.

Some of the Moon’s qualities could be slightly stoked, however, putting a little fire behind devotion, but not enough to make you overbearing. In Sagittarius, the Moon is devoted to exploration and seeking new ideas. There are hidden thoughts about freedom bubbling to the surface. Enough is enough, you’re finally starting to realize that you’ve been giving and sacrificing a little too much.

The key phrase for Sagittarius is, “I SEE,” and in the sign of the Archer, the Moon sees the importance of wanting and striving for more. With the directness and pin-point accuracy of the Archer, the Moon sees exactly what’s worthy and valuable, and patience may be put on the back-burner in order to seize the opportunity.

The Moon 🌖 will be in Sagittarius ♐ in the 1st House🏠 .

At 10 PM Eastern time, it will be 7 PM on the West Coast, and the Moon will hold steady on the 14th degree of Sagittarius in the First House.

The lunar qualities blend with the Archer and the energies manifest in the arena of Self-You!

The first house represents the house of self, it is your self-image, your personality, and whatever and however else you present yourself to the outside world. By nature, Sagittarius is a freedom-loving sign; the Archer is always open to finding new ideas and motivated for exploration. The natural house of Sagittarius is the 9th, and so those motivations and ambitions are directed towards long-distance traveling, higher education, and philosophical issues.

But not tonight, well, not totally because remember, there’s a blend. If we bring the themes of the 9th house into the 1st, then we understand higher education, higher ideals, and getting away and traveling to somewhere new, are all things that contribute to the self we present to the world. If you’re goal has been to look better and feel better, and you’re doing this by exercising and dieting, then you’re going to search for the people who know what they’re talking about, and you’re going to read material or watch videos that are tried and true.

This is about going beyond the average, the normal, and the every-day. You want the best for yourself because you want to present the best image of yourself to the world, and you’ll do this by finding the best sources available.

You’ve been patient and highly adaptive for a long time now, but now that the Moon is lighting up Sagittarius in your house of self, you realized you’ve lost your freedoms in the process. Sagittarius is all about freedom. You want your freedom. You need your freedom, and you will do exactly what you need to do to reclaim it.

Opportunities and ideas come to you this evening, that seem to be exactly what you’re looking for. Seize the opportunity, the moment, the time, the idea, or whatever it is because it’s for the betterment of you.

Independence! Remember your self-image depends on how you feel about yourself. The better you feel about yourself, the more confident you’ll be. The most confident people are independent people because they can take care of themselves. When you rely on others, you subject yourself to their problems, but more importantly their control. Rarely do you get what you want because there’s usually a compromise involved. Freedom is gained through independence.

Lucky numbers are 5 and 7, and Thursday is the lucky day. Thursday is the day of the Lord, the Oak King, and Jesus Christ. If you ask you will be answered, and if you seek, you shall find. Go within tonight in a moment of solitude, and ask the Lord to show you the way back to becoming your best self again.

There are two forms of numerology I created. The first, I introduced in Smorgasbord 2 Catch Up and Relish. In the chapter titled Alien Interpretation, there’s a numerological system that uses numbers 1-13 to assign values to the letters in our English alphabet.

I get into the details of it more in Smorgasbord 3 Poverty and Prophecy, which you will see when the third book comes out. English letters A-M are numbered 1-13, and N-Z are numbered 1-13 as well. I named it Occultus 13, and it is mine. I will prosecute to the fullest.

The second system I created was named, “Numerological Money.” This, I introduce for the first time in Smorgasbord 3, but after what just happened with that whole Generation Alpha thing, I can no longer wait until my books are published to claim the content in them.

It’s a real shame, but people can get a sneak peak at your manuscript and steal information from your book before it gets released. So to head that off, I’m putting it on the record Right Now:

April 18, 2022 FRANCIS JOSEPH LAMANNA CREATED TWO NUMEROLOGY SYSTEMS, OCCULTUS 13, and NUMEROLOGICAL MONEY. Although numerology has been around since ancient times and really is no secret, these two variations OCCULTUS 13 and NUMEROLOGICAL MONEY are his unique versions, and therefore his creation and artistic property. ANY CLAIM TO HAVE CREATED THESE TWO SYSTEMS OF NUMEROLOGY WILL BE CONSIDERED THEFT, AND THEREFORE, ALL PARTIES INVOLVED WILL BE PROSECUTED TO THE FULLEST EXTENT OF THE LAW.

Numerological Money uses the seven denominations of United States Currency, 1, 2, 5 ,10, 20, 50, and 100, and the 26 letters of the English Alphabet are assigned to a number value. A=1, B=2, C=5, D=10, E=20, F=50, G=100, H=1, and so on.

I really wanted this to be a surprise for all my readers who are purchasing and reading the Smorgasbord series, but I had to protect my creations.

Moon Scope; the waters of mystery

Tonight’s Moon is 98% full and waning. Get yourself settled in a comfortable place, dim the lights until they’re almost off, and take a deep breath. At 10 PM eastern time/7 PM west coast, the Moon will be in Scorpio in the 12th House.

I laugh when people mock astrology.

Scorpio represents fixed-feminine water, and when the water is fixed, it’s going to take some convincing to get the flood gates back open again (that’s what we need right now).

Serious thoughts rise to surface and occupy the waking mind. The reactive and receptive Moon reaps the benefits of persistence, and the key phrase for Scorpio is, “I desire.” The combination creates an inquisitive detective like mind, and the Scorpio Moon mind desires to know about sex, birth, money, death, the occult, and things of that nature.

The 12th House is the house of secrets, and within its walls you can find psychic power, secret enemies, hospitals and prisons, accidents, disappointments, and self-limiting behavior.

If you have any questions regarding the desires of Scorpio, tonight is the time go within and find those answers while the moon is still 98% full. Scorpio’s natural home is in the eight house, which is the house of other people’s property, so we bring the theme of “other people’s property” into the house of secrets (12th) for insight on how that of the other is affecting us.

This is truly an enlightening experience as we finally get some type of perspective on how we’re affected by the stuff we can’t see. And quite honestly, the effects of this alignment should’ve been felt over the last day or two.

But tonight, all that will culminate for your benefit. Just keep in mind though, in order for you to capitalize on this, you must be willing and open to the possibility that you might be your own worst enemy. Accept responsibility for the limitations you’ve placed on yourself, and the rest will be an unfolding revelation through the intuitive waters of 12th House.

Stick a toe in if you dare.

Since When?

I’d like to know. Can someone please tell me why the Los Angeles Police Department, or maybe someone from the Los Angeles Police Department can write in and explain why they didn’t pick up and pursue the assault charges against Will Smith when Chris Rock refused to.

Since when is this the case?
Oh wait let me guess, that’s up to the police to decide?

Is it? So there’s a gray area there police officers can exploit and use whenever and against whomever they feel like it?

Well, if that’s the case then we can turn this episode between Rock and Smith in a positive if we learn a lesson. If we close that loophole and take that power away, then maybe we can prevent the bias treatment and racial discrimination against citizens.

I’m trying to understand this because I know for a fact that if you assault someone and the person you attack refuses to press charges against you, the police always picked up the case. And when you ask. “Why am I in trouble if the person I attacked isn’t pressing charges?”

They’ll arrogantly say with a smile no less, “They don’t have to, the state can press charges against you.”

So again, why haven’t the police pressed charges against Will Smith?

I saw members of the LA Police Department in a video on YouTube showing the public how to prevent an assault like the one between Rock and Smith.

I hope the next time someone who’s poor or doesn’t have political connections is in a situation like that, they get off as easy as Will Smith did.

I don’t know, I guess instead of doing their job, the LAPD decided to make a YouTube video?

Fucking Joke

I Guess Geico Just Put a Price on Our Privacy

Most people will not even care about this. Most people say “ah whatever.”

But oh my frigging God and Goddess, how many things are we going to say “ah whatever,” about?

When I first got my car insurance policy with Geico for my new car, it was 2020. The monthly bill was like $134.00. No big deal.

One of the reasons why it was that price was because somehow they scammed me into paying this Florida renter’s insurance for 12 per month. When I decided to stop paying for that unnecessary coverage, my insurance bill went up to 145.00.

And that’s where it stayed until two months ago. They raised it another $4 per month for “necessary costs.”

I paid $149 last month, and today, I received my policy renewal.

The monthly cost is now $184.00!!!!

I just called them. How the hell did my monthly payments increase by almost $40? My driving record is flawless! Aren’t we going in the wrong direction?

She said I could save $20 per month if I download the Geico Easy Driving App, but here’s the catch. Through that app, Geico knows everything you do in the car. If you tailgate, if you speed, if you break too hard, if you do anything they don’t think is safe they’ll know and it will negatively affect your Easy Driving App Score.

I can save $20 per month if I download this app, and remember to always take my phone with me when I drive so Geico can track me, because I drive without my phone, they’ll drop me from the savings program.

So, it no longer matters if you avoid getting tickets from the police, and it no longer matters if you manage to avoid getting into accidents, because Geico has their own evaluation of you.

So you decide. Is your privacy worth $20 per/month?

WHAT THE FUCK!

I know people who been in accidents and have tickets and they pay $220 per month. If I god forbid got into an accident or got a ticket, I probably wouldn’t be able to afford car insurance.

Again, I get the shit end of the stick. Well, this is the type of day its been, I mean if it wasn’t for the weather I’d be in a gray gloomy hell!

And I’m an angel.
