I spent a good amount of time analyzing the moon these past two days, and I’ve come to this conclusion:
Saturn is “Old Father Time,” astrology has given him the responsibility to restrict and limit through time, but what about the moon?
Because of the moon, our awareness has been risen to observe not only time, but cycles of time as well. In modern times, the Sun has been associated with man and masculinity, and the Moon with women, the mother, wives, and femininity. That’s a great place to start.
When the moon is full, I imagine it to be a woman who’s looking at me, and every night, she turns ever so slightly until her back is facing us, the time I associate with the new moon. Therefore, when we can see the moon, the moon can see us.
She doesn’t make an about face 180-degree turn all at once, she does it methodically. She turns a little bit each night.
By its very nature, the moon teaches us about patience and the passage of time. If you wanted to buy a can of soup from your local food store, but the store was closed, you’d have to wait until the store reopens the next day.
That’s so routine and mundane that we miss the lesson. The lesson is all things in due time, a little at a time, and everything in moderation, and that’s what we learn from the moon.
Even in the natural life cycle, when you plant a seed a process takes place. I don’t think anyone planted a seed on Sunday and woke up to full grown tree the next day on Monday.
As we make this case for the moon, we have no choice but to reconsider the responsibilities placed on Saturn. Do we really need a double dose of limitation and restriction?
During my studies I found something interesting. The lunar cycle is about 29 days and Saturn makes one trip around the Sun in 29 years! There are lots of similarities between Father Time and the Huntress, the number 29 for sure, but the Number associated with the Moon is actually 27.
Either way, it’s time for me to revisit the drawing board. I think it’s finally time to separate and redefine our Moon and Saturn.
Right now the moon is in Libra in the first house. With Libra in the first, we bring the other, partnerships and marriages to the house of self. Although our relationships are important and in some cases, necessary, they should never define who we are.
Subconscious thoughts involving partnerships are bubbling to the surface. Good advice for the time right now would be to keep in mind that certain partnerships can bring harmony and balance into our lives, but if both people are going to get the most of what that relationship has to offer, both must come into it complete-as an individual first.
Sometimes, people go through certain things in their lives because of decisions they’ve made, and they look for the other to save them. Ask, yourself, why am I entering this partnership? Am I looking for the other to save me from myself?
Are you poor? Suicidal? Dealing with an addiction? That’s a lot for anyone to deal with especially if they didn’t create your problems. If you’re bringing your best self into a partnership, and the other does the same, both stand to gain.
I can’t. After seeing the signs that I’ve seen during the last 15 years, including the recent “Eye” of God on July 1st, I feel like I need to be carrying out the will of God, and part of that is to find my purpose. I can’t ignore what I’m seeing and just blow it off as nothing.
How can I ignore this? I think it’s time to surrender myself to the universe, the higher powers that be.
There is so much beauty in nature. I can’t figure it out, maybe it’s because I’m moving so fast, but I can’t believe how much is right in front of me-and I’m oblivious to it.
I took a half hour this afternoon to do a standing meditation in quiet secluded corner of the park. I took my sneakers and socks off, and took a few deep breaths before zoning out in a concentrated gaze. I could feel my body relax and loosen up.
All of a sudden things become noticeable, like how the rays of the sun slice through the trees and shine down on particular portions of the field or the flowers. The longer I stand there, the more I hear; the birds chirping, the squirrels quarreling in the bushes, crickets, and so much more.
The longer I stand there the more I see; the bees, the spider webs spun on tree branches, all the birds of different colors, how green the grass is. All the life and all the beauty, it’s all there.
Before I packed it in, I decided to stretch a little, and when I bent down to touch my toes, there was a heart-shaped leaf on the top of my foot.
We are loved, we truly are.
A Sign from Nature (Love, Pleasure, Confidence & Strength of Will)
In my bedroom, there’s one window facing the east and on facing the north. The window facing the east has an air conditioner in it during the summer months. Usually I flip the curtains up on the rod so they’re not blocking the air conditioner’s vents. I always knew that window faced the east, which I love because I can always see the sun rising from my room. I had no idea, however, that I was making a triangle by flipping the curtains up.
This morning I was typing on my computer and the sun was shining as it usually does through that window, and it just so happened that sun rose right in the center of that triangle today. This is the second time now I’ve seen an eye of providence.
The divine force is very much alive.
This happened today about a month after I doodled the picture below.
Everyone has a need for peace and happiness, but not everyone disserves it. I’m reaching out to those who are genuine in heart, those who truly care, those who truly love, and those who constantly give.
Weather you just need time to get away, or you’re tormented to the degree I am, filling your life with peace and happiness is absolutely necessary.
Stay away from the people who push your buttons, project their anger and problems on you, and those who only come to you when they want to complain.
You’re important, and you don’t deserve to be anyone’s doormat. For those who are following this and know where I’m coming from, then here are some suggestions.
1.Go for a walk or a run.
2.Look for cool quiet areas that are secluded. Go there and relax. Bring a book with you or your phone if you want to watch videos.
3.Sleep in your car.
4.The idea is to re-center yourself.
5.Face the facts! Most of the pain you feel is coming from the people who are closest to you. Pay attention to how people are treating you, and how they’re talking to you.
6.Make a mental note and slowly give less of yourself to the people who bring you down, bring out the worst in you, and leave you feeling upset, angry, depleted, and spiraling out of control.
You cannot approach the daily grind that your life entails when the people you love and care about are you using you as a jump off point.
I don’t preach violence, and I don’t tell people what to do, but most of us at some point or another during our youth encountered the “bully.” That’s almost what this situation feels like-like your being bullied for those rare moments of fun, laughter, and peace that you so desperately need for your balance.
And every time you re-center and calm yourself, here comes another one. They yell over you, they compete with you when you’re not even aware of it, and they use things like animals (cats or dogs)-they yell at the animals but they’re really talking to you. The animal is a front for their passive aggressive behavior.
This is borderline crazy, and they’re not worth your sanity. We all know people like this. I’m not telling you to run away from these people, but since you’re aware of how they make you feel, then you have the responsibility of cutting them off from you and your resources.
Violence is never the answer in most of these cases because it seems like that’s ultimately what they’re trying to provoke. They want to see how much they can push you, how much they can take from you, and they keep going.
But I believe everyone has a breaking point. This breaking point is your body’s natural reaction to the emotions you feel at a given time. Since most of the victimization you’re experiencing is psychological mental abuse that becomes personal when they see they can’t affect you, it’s hard to identify what’s triggering your feelings.
But one day, you will react. It will be a natural uncontrollable response, that you’ll make without thinking, and it will be the right one.
Don’t suffer in silence. Find people who are upbeat, positive, and happy with themselves. These are the people you need to find because they won’t pull you down or leave feeling like you’re spinning out of control.
I just contacted an online publication because I wanted to write a feature story about Generation X, but there’s no guarantee they’re going to accept my offer. As a matter of fact, you have to be careful who you submit your work to because there’s a lot of people who are looking to put their name on other people’s work. I’m not saying that’s them, but you never know. All to often you hear stories about people submitting a piece that’s declined, only to find someone else taking the idea and submitting it.
What I’m going to do right here on my website is an astrological interpretation of Generation X as a sub-group within the United States. I used astro.com to produce the chart, and the information I used was January 1, 1965, at 12 o’clock midnight. The place was Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
Generation X is a group or a portion of the American population born between the years of 1965 and 1980. It’s a fifteen-year period. The time and date I used because that’s officially when the first X’er would’ve been born, and since we’re talking about America, I could’ve used Washington D.C. or Philadelphia. I chose Philadelphia.
The Chart (astro.com)
Astro.com
Let’s begin with Libra on the ascendant (AC). Libra in the first house indicates a generation that’s all about justice, balance, harmony, equality, and love, and since Libra is on the ascendant, Venus (love) rules the chart.
With the moon present in the 3rd house, Generation X will have an awakening at the subconscious level. That awakening will cause issues concerning communication, short distance traveling, and our neighborhoods to rise to the surface.
Venus can also be found in Sagittarius in the 3rd house. This means there’s a direct link between equality, balance, justice, and harmony on the ascendant, and the matters covered under the 3rd house. Communities are important to this generation, there’s a belief that small scale progress can go a long way, therefore, the community or the neighborhood is a microcosm of the country at large. Strong communities equal a strong country.
Sagittarius is naturally a 9th house sign. Sagittarius embodies philosophy, higher learning and a broad range of concepts. It’s energetic, freedom loving, open to exploration, ambitious and generous. Venus in Sagittarius shows that we love our freedom, and we love living energetic ambitious lives. If we don’t have those things and we don’t feel free then this generation will want to know why. That’s why the moon is there.
Mercury is also in the 3rd house. Generation X will not be afraid to talk about these issues. If there’s no harmony we’re going to discuss it. If our neighborhoods are falling apart we’re going to talk about it. Communication in all it’s forms are going to be utilized by Generation X as they’re responsible for restoring balance and harmony.
As we cross over the IC and enter the 4th house of home and roots, we see Capricorn and the sun, and the sun’s conjunction with the IC. At the deepest, darkest, most private and most intimate part of the chart, which also represents the core of Generation X, it’s sunny! Our will and life force revolves around our careers, and our careers ground us and provide stability. This is a generation grounded through work, and if work is taken away, we become a generation uprooted and lost.
The 5th house deals with creativity and short term pleasure, love, and having fun. Saturn is there, which on a good note, indicates a responsible generation, but in a house where the sky is supposed to be the limit, do we really want someone limiting and controlling our potential? That’s what happening. Saturn has taken control and slowed down love as it relates to creativity, fun, and pleasure. This validates the moon’s presence in the 3rd house in Sagittarius.
The problem is that Saturn’s only good aspect is to the MC, the midheaven. With Saturn in trine with the MC, Saturn dictates how we reach the highest levels as a generation, and if it relates to fun-loving creativity and pleasure, there will be limitations, but if we’re good, there’s always the possibility that our patience will be rewarded.
Saturn is in Pisces, that’s means he’s leveraging religion and spirituality to place limitations on us. Pisces is a 12th house sign, and the 12th house is the house of secret enemies. There are secret enemies in the house of love and creativity and that’s throwing us off balance as a sub-group and as a country.
Chiron, the little key symbol you see in the 6th house, represents a core wound. On an individual level, this wound is created early in life, or brought into this life from a previous one, but since we’re talking about the core wound of a generation, it would only make sense that this wound was created before Generation X came into existence. That means Chiron’s wound in the 6th house/Pisces is one Generation X has inherited and now bears the burden of healing.
The wound is related to self-care and the immaterial world. Generation X is dealing with victimization and betrayal in the house of health and service, that means, America as a country has experienced victimization and betrayal. When this wound isn’t healed we’re a generation depleted because we compensate by being overly selfless. Healing the United Sates has become the responsibility of Generation X as of January 1, 1965.
The issue and the wound here is personal, but tremendously clear. If Generation X is going to leave America in better shape than they found it, we need to accomplish three things.
1.Create healthy boundaries. This translates to border issues. Wall or no wall, the issue here is controlling the flow of illegal immigration. Before coming into the United States, immigrants must enter through a port of entry. They should be checked, examined, and documented. When they are documented and legal, they should be required to assimilate into the American culture, and reminded that they’re now leaving their home land behind.
That’s how it always was. I don’t know why or when it stopped, but returning to that is absolutely necessary for our healing.
2.Be nurturing towards ourselves. America nurturing (Cancer) America. This is at the MC. America nurturing America is the highest part of this chart, and what we as a generation should be aiming and striving towards. This is one of the biggest questions we have as country. Why aren’t we taking care of ourselves? Why aren’t we manufacturing, making, and exporting? Why are we sending jobs overseas?
3.Improve and develop an intuition we can rely on.
The answer or key to numbers 2 and 3 once again revolve around Saturn. Intuition and nurture, that’s Pisces and Cancer. Creating healthy boundaries is possible. Our healing gets tricky when we come to our second and third needs, but if we’re serious about healing then I’ll bring the problem and the solution to light.
You tell me.
What? You want to know? Okay.
If you look at the chart, you’ll notice the natural order of things is flipped. Cancer is where Capricorn should be, Aries is where Libra is supposed to be, Taurus is where Scorpio should be, and so on.
With Libra on the ascendant, love rules the chart. Aries (mars/wars) is on the descendant, that means we should now start distancing ourselves from war. We did the war thing, and now it’s sinking below the horizon. Let’s remove ourselves from international issues, we’re not the police force of the world.
Nurturing (Cancer) ourselves, America taking care of America; it’s one of our biggest questions and one of our most important needs, yet, it’s the furthest away. It’s the highest and hardest thing to reach. We’re supposed to be grounded through nurture (Cancer/Moon).
In it’s place, is work (Career/Public Standing/Capricorn). Generation X has been blessed with a Grand Earth Trine; Jupiter/Taurus, Sun/Capricorn, Pluto and Uranus/Virgo.
The Baby Boomers, Generation W, was 14-years-old when President Kennedy was murdered in public. They were kids. Can you blame them for putting their heads down and going to work without questioning anything? Talking, nurturing, and getting to the root of problems just didn’t happen back then, and that’s when work replaced nurturing. That’s when fear replaced love.
Something else happened around that time. Yes, the 60s! The flow of drugs into the culture; Drugs to help generations of Americans mask, deal, and cope with the problems we were avoiding by putting our heads down and going to work.
Why do you think Chiron is in Pisces in the 6th house of health and service? We’re depleted because we’re doing everything we can to avoid our problems, and where’s Virgo, the 6th house sign? Where’s the Great Mother, the healer, and the nurturer?
In the 12th house of secret enemies. We’re being victimized and betrayed through health and service. I’ll repeat that. We’re being victimized and betrayed through health and service.
For the third need, developing and improving an intuition we can rely on:
Nothing happens without reason. This chart was flipped for our benefit.
Mars in the 12th house means we as a generation and a nation keep our feelings secret from the world. It means we do have strong intuitive powers (we need that #3). On the good side there’s and active imagination, but on the bad side, there’s an immediate danger from secret enemies.
We come full circle to my point about Saturn in the 5th house and in the 12th house sign of Pisces. Mars in the 12th house is telling us we have the creativity and the intuition, but we’re under Saturn’s control because of secret enemies.
Mars, as it represents the threat of secret enemies, steps aside and just watches. The trine connecting the 12th house to the 4th and the 8th has nothing to do with him. If we will (sun) ourselves to work (Capricorn), prosperity, luck, and benevolence (Jupiter) are bestowed and result in money and possessions (Taurus).
Wait, that’s only two signs, the grand trine is made up of three. What about Pluto and Uranus in Virgo? Pluto and Uranus in the 12th house are two amazing placements that would not only complete this trine, but would without a doubt, be the force we need to promote the healing of Chiron’s wounds.
Uranus in the 12th: You are very intuitive, perhaps psychic, and are attracted to unusual beliefs in religion or metaphysics. Your need to be independent in thought (freethinker) fights against limitations (Saturn) placed on you by others. On the good side, we’re humanitarian. On the bad side, we’re subject to sudden and unexpected adversities.
Like JFK. Oh, he was just riding in the car and all of a sudden he was shot in the head. Oh, that damn unexpected adversity.
Pluto in the 12th means we have a compelling desire to understand, and see deeply into philosophical issues. We want to know, we want to understand, and we want transformation.
Uranus is eccentric, unpredictable, and creative. He’s revolutionary and known as the great awakener. He wakes us up to get us moving in the right direction. Pluto is the detective of the zodiac. He digs and brings the truth to the surface.
Both however, are in conjunction with mars. Mars is close enough to where his presence is felt, but he’s not directly involved with the trine. Pluto and Uranus are under a direct and immediate threat, and all that is hidden in the 12th house of secret enemies.
We can be eccentric, but don’t get too out of control.
We can investigate and bring the truth to the surface depending on what it is and who’s involved.
Limited and controlled; but there’s a way around all that because Chiron is in trine with the midheaven, Neptune is also in trine with the midheaven, and the sun is in opposition to the midheaven.
The quickest and easiest way to do this, and don’t laugh, would be through the sun’s opposition. Stop going to work. There’s a constant pull for power going on between between the sun in the 4th house and the midheaven. Make it easy. Surrender to Cancer and nurturing and pursue happiness. Don’t put your head down and go to work, instead, get involved and make a commitment to reaching our highest potential.
That won’t happen.
So, we can solve the border issue, but that’s only one out of three. If want to go three for three, we need to go directly to the source.
Neptune is our connection to source, but if Neptune is going to work for us, it must be grounded. With natural power, Neptune can do for us whatever we need him to do, which is increased intuition, powerful dreams, and psychic ability.
How do we ground Neptune? Neptune can be grounded with truth.
In addition, we can look to the sign and house it rules (Pisces/12th house). Every part of our body falls under the rulership of a sign. Our feet are ruled by Pisces. We need to stand on our own two feet in the 12th house of secret enemies without fear, hate, or jealousy, and let Uranus and Pluto do what they do best without the threat of Mars.
The rest is a matter of taking care of our health, and removing the restrictions and limitations on the 5th house.
Right now, on the young end, Generation X is 42-years-old. On the older end, we’re 57. It’s not too late. We have another 30 years in power.

2. The Chiron Effect, Lisa Tahir; Bear & Company 2020.
Tonight’s moon will be a waning gibbous with 87% illumination. Currently, the moon is in the astrological sign of Aquarius.
Aquarius is known as the water bearer, it’s a far-reaching and futuristic sign. Aquarius is new-age awareness, it’s progressive, analytical, and original. The water bearer represents hopes and wishes, friendship, and humanitarian ideals. During the moon’s transit through Aquarius, our subconscious is raised for examination. We are being called to look behind the scenes on issues regarding some of our friendships, and those hopes and wishes we have for the future. Before you consider someone to be a friend, make sure they’re put to the test. There’s deception when the moon’s involved.
Humanitarian ideals is another area covered here. There’s a lot of people who claim to care, and if they do, that’s great. If they don’t however, the waning moon will reveal their deepest intentions. If you’re in the business of helping others, make sure helping others is what you love doing, because if you’re only doing it for the money, it’s not going to last.
On the positive side, it’s Friday! It’s the perfect time to get together with friends or friendly acquaintances and shoot the breeze. Have some fun, and talk about the future the together. Conversations should be light and intellectual.
Tip of the Transit: You weren’t aware, but the cosmic energy right now is waking us up to sincere intentions; our intentions and the intentions of others. Are you really my friend, or are you friendly with me because I have x, y, and z? Am I working this job because I really care or because of the money?
I posted on the NB Facebook page, that I’m giving free advice for a limited time. If you have some issue or a question that you would like advice or added insight on from a neutral source, I’m your man. Email me at noonooz@noozbuffet.com and ask.
I don’t know if it’s because my Lifepath is 9, or what, but I really feel like my feet are being held to the fire when it comes to karmic lessons.
This whole thing starts with the realization that you, by your choices, and actions, are ultimately responsible for the development of your life.
Here I am, almost twenty years out of college, and I’ve had jobs in every field imaginable, except the one I earned a bachelor’s in.
During that twenty years I always had a reason for why that was happening, but today, finally today, I said to myself, “Football was the only reason why I went to college. Never once did think about a career or what I would do after graduation.”
So, should I be that shocked or disappointed I’ve been bouncing from one job to the next? No.
I wasn’t the greatest football player that ever played the game. I was good, I was dedicated, and I loved the game. Therefore, I did what I had to do to play, and I did what I had to do academically to remain in school so I could continue playing.
This tells me that when I make a decision to do something, I do it.
Someone said to me today, I love what I do for a living.
I said, “I do to, I just have to figure out how to get paid for doing it.”
It’s actually not football though, now it’s writing. Writing is my love and passion, but I do it in my spare time because I have to pay bills.
Enough about me though. Did you ever feel like you wanted something so bad, but unless you did something else, which is something that’s going to take real effort, you’re not going to get what you want?
It’s like, you want this, but before you can have this, that has to be done first. And you know in the back of your mind, that that has to be done, but you’re trying everything possible to avoid doing that.
And the universe is saying, “Nope. No way. Not today. Not yet. Not here. Not now.”
Lifepath 9, is not just the end of the road. It’s also the beginning of a new road.
Nothing just ends, nature is cyclical.
Are you a 9 path feeling the constant theme in your life that you can never have what you want, you can never get used to something, you can never have something to call your own, you can never get comfortable..
Well, that’s the 9. Rolling with change and embracing new beginnings, the end of a cycle that begins anew..
At some point though, we’re going to have to grab on to one of those endings, and make the new beginning our own.
There are lots of reasons for why people meditate, but calming the body through meditation becomes important after stress has taken its toll on us. Stress wears us out because our bodies have to adapt to situations that are stressful; chemicals and hormones get depleted and the body becomes tired.
Our reaction to stress can have some serious effects on our bodies. The tension caused by stress cannot be properly released when we react with anger, fear, or depression, and when stress isn’t released it can result in a weakened immune system, muscle tension, psychological issues, heart disease, and cancer. Yes, cancer.
When the mind and body are in a calm state, the energies within us can be directed toward repair, strengthening the body and the immune system.
I believe physical activity through exercise is probably one of the better ways for us to deal with stress. Not only will exercising give us that healthy outlet we need, but it will release endorphins, bring oxygen to the blood, and aid the circulatory system.
Most importantly, exercising can bring us to a point where meditating is possible. If you want to get the most out of meditating, you should add physical exercise to your routine.
Our health has to come first because without it, nothing is possible. For most people, weather it’s recognized or not, stress is experienced daily. Getting up every day and going to work is stressful, making sure you have enough money to pay your bills and keep a roof over your head is stressful, assholes out on the road, in the stores, and at work are stressful. Raising kids is stressful.
Stress will destroy your life if you let it destroy your health.
