Happy Halloween

October 31, 2025

Good morning, and happy Halloween! I hope everyone’s day is safe and filled with fun, laughter, and lots of candy.

Yes, it’s true, Halloween is the main attraction right now, but some other stuff is going on as well. In keeping the Sabbat holy, many people recognize October 31st as the celebration day for Samhain. In Witchcraft and in ancient Pagan traditions, Samhain was seen as the beginning of a transitional time between death and rebirth. As the God departs and the Goddess mourns, both know he’ll be reborn at the winter solstice, or Yule.

This celebration was actually adopted by the Catholic Church, and Catholicism celebrates it with an All Hallows Eve Mass and also by recognizing the following day as All Saints Day or All Souls Day.

Now, the timing of the celebration of Samhain is incredibly important because according to Sidereal Astrology, which tracks the Sun’s actual movement through thirteen Constellations, October 31st is the very first day of our Sun’s transit through Libra. I mean, wow, right? The last day of Virgo is on October 30th, and then Libra begins on the 31st.

It’s definitely a transitional time all the way around, and I wouldn’t be surprised if in some traditions, people actually recognized October 31st as the end of summer and the first day of fall (Since we are leaving Virgo and entering Libra).

Whatever you celebrate and however you celebrate it, I do hope that everyone is enjoying this time.

I went for a walk on Wednesday, and I took this picture of the street. Lol, of course I’ve seen leaves before, but on this morning as I was turning the corner, the first thing I noticed was that the street had been entirely covered by leaves. It was such a beautiful, colorful, and vibrant display that captured the essence of the season.

I felt like a kid again, and I wanted to go running through the leaves, but my back was hurting too much.

Lol, the mind said go, but the body said no!

Alright, everyone, have a wonderful day!

America Turns Two-Hundred and Forty-Nine Today

July 4, 2025

Today, at 5:10 p.m., the United States turns two-hundred and forty-nine years old. Today, in the United States, we’re celebrating the Fourth of July, which is also our day of independence. Yes, we declared our independence from Britian, the aristocracy, and the rule of kings and queens. Say what you want about the United States, but we have a constitution and we as citizens are sovereign. We are free to pursue life, liberty, and happiness.

If you notice, the MC/IC axis connects the 1st degree of Libra and the 1st degree of Aries. That is also the markers for the spring and autumn equinox.

Aries, the sign naturally ruling the First House of Self, indicates that at the very core and most private part the chart, is us, America (the self). There is a certain amount of emphasis put on isolationism here and keeping ourselves out of conflicts and war with the rest of the world, or the other.

Libra, the sign naturally ruling the Seventh House (Others), indicates our never-ending desire to secure relationships to maintain peace, balance, and harmony.

The Sun lights up the Seventh House of Relationships and Known Enemies. On the 13th degree of Cancer, our Sun represents loyalty within loving relationships and intensity when dealing with known enemies. The 13th degree of Cancer is the Constellation, Canis Major, or the Great Dog.

A country of people who are freedom-loving and maintain the freedom to pursue life, liberty, and happiness, is indicated by the Moon’s North Node in Sagittarius in the First House.

Happy Birthday America!

Happy Valentine’s Day

February 14, 2025

For me personally, I’ve been without a Valentine’s Day love since 2012, but there hasn’t been a Valentine’s Day that I haven’t felt the love within.

Any who, 🤣, Venus is now out of Pisces, so through Pisces, hopefully, we learned compassion and how to love unconditionally. Compassion and unconditional love are two things Venus is taking with her as she journey’s through Aries, and that’s where we find her today on the 6th degree.

The unbelievable coincidence of this is that Mars is the ruler of Aries, and it was Mars (The God War) and Venus (The Goddess of Love and Beauty) who got together and gave birth to Cupid!

Today isn’t the only day to find true love. Venus will be going direct in Aries until I think March 27th. So, we have more than month to be in the right place at the right time. If you’re looking for that “special one,” this is the time.

For those of you who are already married or dating and have someone, I wish you a beautiful evening that’s full of laughter, romance, and love.

Happy Valentine’s Day

Thanksgiving

November 27, 2024

Thanksgiving is scheduled for the last Thursday of November, so, it’s actually tomorrow. Last year, Thanksgiving was on the 23rd.

This year, we give thanks tomorrow on the 28th, November ends on Saturday the 30th, and then December begins on Sunday with a New Moon.

Thanksgiving itself has a long history, and it’s a Federal holiday in which its month and day of observance has change several times over the past four or five-hundred years, but I think it was initially created to commemorate the reaping of the Pilgrims first harvest on American soil.

Instead of giving you the textbook definition of what Thanksgiving means, I decided to share with all of you, what Thanksgiving means to me.

Thanksgiving is day to give thanks. It’s a day to celebrate whatever you have-anything and everything you’re thankful for, and I think this is important because during our busy lives, we never really stop to do this.

Plain and simple..

Enjoy your day tomorrow.

Nooz Now

Wednesday, October 30, 2024

🎃 Halloween is tomorrow, and I don’t know if you guys knew this, but New York City remains to be the place for Halloween celebrations. After all, it is Gotham City. Right, guys?

When I was in my twenties, there was a night club in Manhattan called Limelight. It was an old abandoned gothic-style church that some wonderful man decided to turn into a night club.

Limelight hosted a Halloween party one year, and it was one of my most memorable experiences in a dance club that not only added to the New York City vibe, but to the vibe that connected Halloween with New York City as well. It was a rich culture of fright, innocence, and love. A picture of the Limelight is below.

And, as far as decorations are concerned, no one does it like Anoka, Minnesota.  Out of every city in every state, from ocean to ocean on the north American continent, somehow and someway, Anoka, Minnesota has been recognized as the place that “decorates the most.” I don’t know how they got that, but it is what it is, I guess.

🧡🎬🖤 I’m going to share my favorite Halloween movie of all time. It was Halloween! 🤣Every year, as Halloween was approaching, I would watch Halloween the movie to get me in the spirit.

Halloween was a likable movie throughout the years that kind of became less scary as time went on, but believe me, it was scary in the 80s. Before we realized Michel Myers couldn’t die, it was a believable and realistic movie about a psychopath who murdered people on Halloween. That could really happen, and it was the thought that made it frightening.

Besides for John Carpenter’s masterpiece, some of the most watched Halloween movies of all time were Scary Movie, Beetlejuice, Sleepy Hallow, which was also a movie that brought in the spirit of the fall season, Pumkinhead, Hocus Pocus, and I’m sure the Scream saga ranks in there.

🚑 I’m actually feeling a bit silly, and the truth is that I’m unfocused and tired right now. I was in the hospital for two days with a bowl obstruction, and I just got home yesterday. I probably should be resting in bed right now, but I’m so damn driven and committed to Nooz Buffet, that I just had to get off my deathbed to type.

🌘 Tonight’s Moon is a waning crescent in the astrological sign, Libra. The New Moon is scheduled for November 1st, and it will be in Scorpio. Now, here’s something interesting that I’m sharing from my private wheelhouse.

For a few seconds, at the time of the New Moon, all the galactic planes are completely open to earth. I just learned about this when I was studying new seed energy last week, so I’ve never sat with the intent of connecting with what’s “out there” before.

After doing some additional research for this upcoming New Moon, I found the exact time will be 8:47 A.M. on the morning of 11/1/2024. I would imagine that you’d have to be still, calm, and in a quiet place. Other than that, I might just light a candle, and I’m hoping my awareness of this now is enough to connect me.

☀️ There’s a difference between astronomy and astrology, and a master like myself has figured out a way to combine and utilize both in his craft, but for the sake of confusing the hell out of the general public, I don’t like mentioning astronomy..

With the exception of right now. This is fascinating. According to astronomy, which tracks the Sun’s real position in the skies, the Sun enters Libra on Halloween, and the transit is 23 days! In astronomy like astrology, Libra is the seventh sign, but in astronomy, Libra, which is the scale, is actually centered as the 7th of 13th signs (six signs on each side).

Now, that reveals the true meaning behind Libra’s Scale, which stands for balance, harmony, love, and justice.

Hold on to your hat. The astronomical Sun will switch signs three times between 11/22 and 11/30. Yup, on 11/22, the Sun leaves Libra and enters Scorpio, and on 11/30, the Sun leaves Scorpio and enters Ophiuchus.

Alright, friends. Have a wonderful evening, and a happy Halloween. I’m going back to bed.

Moon Scope

October 23, 2024 Edition

Friends and Followers, good afternoon! 

Thank you for visiting N.B., and welcome to the October 23rd edition of Moon Scope.

This has been an interesting lunar cycle right from the beginning, with the new moon occurring in Libra on October 2nd. 

As far as relationships and seventh house matters are concerned, we were given a fresh start to either “clean house” or continue building.

Then we had an amazingly beautiful full moon in Aries on the 17th, which delivered insights and revelations on how to move forward with newfound courage.

Early morning of 10/17
Night of 10/17

Those were two pictures taken with my cell phone camera!  I can’t even believe it. 

So, the new lunar cycle that began on the 2nd reached culmination on the 17th and will begin anew on November 1st.

Not only did we pretty much get the entire month of October in this cycle, but we’re also getting Halloween as well before it begins anew on All Saints Day (November 1st). 

How’s that for timing? 

Growing up as a Roman Catholic, All Saints Day was the name given to the November 1st event, which was about the celebration and recognition of the Saints, but that same day is celebrated under many different names depending on your faith or religion.

At the start of the new lunar cycle, in the astrological sign of Scorpio, we find ourselves in deep dark waters. 

Naturally, Scorpio rules the Eighth House, and the Eighth House deals with property, other people’s money, legacies and wills, taxes, and death and rebirth.

Scorpio is fixed, passionate, and quite idealistic, so there could be some tension when it comes to shared resources. 

On the flip side of that, this might be a time to wipe the slate clean and reach some type of agreement.  Scorpio, for sure, represents the beginnings and ends of phases in life.

Scorpio’s symbol, in ancient times, was used to represent the Phoenix, a bird associated with regeneration and rising out of the ashes of death.

It will be the perfect time (10/29-11/1) to start giving some thought to Eighth House issues.

If you’re living in someone else’s home, and things aren’t going well, maybe it’s time to move.

If you owe money, it might be a good time to start making plans for repayment.

How can you increase your income? 

When it comes to property belonging to other people, there will always be issues. 

You can never truly experience independence until you have your own things.

Think about the timing and the unfoldment of this whole situation.  Relationships were under the microscope at the last new moon, and now it’s property and money belonging to other people.

If you made the decision to stand on your own two feet, you’ll now be required to take it a step further and examine the resources that were shared, with the aim of reaching self-reliance. 

It’s synchronistic, and it’s a rebirth in every sense.

Scorpio is also a very sexual sign.  Pregnancy issues could arise, and they could be planned or unplanned. 

Protect yourself if you’re not ready to be a parent, but you should be protecting yourself anyway from diseases and infections.

On that note, I would like to wish everyone a safe and happy Halloween! 

I hope you get all the candy you want.

Have fun and make great memories.

A New Moon Cycle Beginning In the Sign of The Water Bearer

Beloved, how are you? As usual, there’s a lot going on, and I guess we can start with the New Moon coming up on the 9th in Aquarius. We’ll get a brand-new moon cycle beginning Friday in the sign of The Water Bearer.

Imbolc, the first day of spring according to Gaelic and Craft traditions, was celebrated on the 2nd of February. In Christian traditions, Imbolc is called Saint Brigid’s Day. Saint Brigid is the patroness saint of Ireland.

I don’t know how many people are aware of this, but February was a Roman month called Februarius, and that comes from the Latin term, Februum, which means purification. So, at its root, February is the month of purification. I actually wrote and published a poem here on N.B. called Purification. I’ll pin it up later this evening.

But, yeah, purification. If you really want to start the year off properly, February would be the ideal month rid the body of toxins and drop old habits. The universe supports it. 2024 is a leap year, so, the month of February will have 29 days in it.
