February 7, 2025

Yup, today is my birthday. I was born in 1980 on the seventh day of February, and that makes me forty-five today. So, a birthday is actually a solar return. It takes the Sun (solar) 365.25 days (or one year) to return to the position it was in when you were born.

For everyone’s benefit, I thought it would be a good idea to take a look at the chart of the moment.

I’ve actually been blessed with these “Star of David” patterns. There was one in the chart for my Saturn Return, and here’s another one.

The Virgo/Pisces polarity has been called the Eye of the Camel, because it is through our service (Sixth House/Virgo) that we’re able to thread that needle and come out on the other side (Twelfth House/Pisces) to face whatever is out there in the Cosmos.

In Pisces in the Ninth House, we find the North Node and Neptune conjoined on the 28th degree. This is a beautiful mutable energy in the house of long-distance journeys, and the Sabian Symbol for this degree shows a fertile garden underneath a full moon. What is represented here is a time of culmination, and a brand-new start, which is totally blessed and favorable as indicated by the fertile garden.

With Venus and Neptune there, we can see something new beginning that involves love and spirituality. It’s something that can blossom and grow into something special if it’s properly nurtured. Saturn, the warden, is still in the picture, but with ten degrees of separation between him and the North Node, I kind of get the hint that his role of disciplinarian is starting to wane a bit. I think Saturn’s presence is more about focus and commitment to hard work.

This is really beautiful, and it indicates a bright future.

Uranus in the Tenth House indicates a breakthrough or an awakening, which involves our career. The possibility of a new career is in the works, and chances are that it’s not only rewarding financially, but spiritually satisfying and conducive to healing (Chiron).

Some of us waited a long time for this, especially those of us who were born with Sedna in the Tenth House. When I was born, Sedna was on the 5th degree of Taurus. It took the Mistress of the Deep forty-five years to go from the 5th degree of Taurus to the Zero Degree of Gemini.

This is huge. Sedna’s transit through Taurus in the Tenth House was rough, and I talked a little about that the other day. I actually made the comment to someone last year, that I’m probably going to spend the rest of my life lost in the sector of career and public reputation.

But..

In the sign of Brotherly Love and Union (Gemini), Sedna finally gets the connections she needs to feel loved, comfortable, and needed, and Uranus in the Tenth House, then, represents the breakthrough we’ve been waiting forty-five years for.

In the Sedna Mythology, we only hear about her connection to her father, but what about her mother? Well, we find the Moon in Gemini, which represents the mother, women in general, our emotional side, and our deep subconscious.

Ten degrees away from the Moon is Jupiter. Sedna’s entry in Gemini with the Moon and Jupiter there is like someone opening the door of a dungeon-and in comes abundance, sunlight, expansion, and prosperity. It’s everything we need, and it’s everything she needs.

I had a vision during a meditation last year of a mother and a young daughter playing joyfully. They were spinning in circles with one another with their hands locked together, and they were smiling and laughing. I feel like that vision connects to Sedna and this Moon.

This is a wonderful chart with a true fixed cross; balance, creativity, ambition, and friendships, it’s all there. Blessed is everyone who resonates with this chart, and blessed are those born on the seventh day of February.

Have a magnificent evening everyone. I love you all!

Good morning, beloved!

With Mercury the God of Commerce and Communication in Capricorn in the Eleventh House, there’s a focus on how we go about creating friendships within groups and our intentions and ambitions regarding the future.

In the hard-working and steady sign of Capricorn, we’re to move forward with what I call a “grounded patience.” You cannot force things, and you can’t sell crap in toilet as a pot of gold.

Capricorn’s ruler, Saturn, is in the Twelfth House, and there will be swift rewards or consequences for our actions now. So, the choice is yours.

When it comes to the friendships we form within groups, these groups are usually tied in to the work we do, but they don’t have to be. They could also be professional workshops where we can continue learning as professionals.

If you have something to offer the group, please do so. If you’re new to the group, you might want to listen more than you speak. Again, the choice is yours, but it’s probably best to start things off in a way Capricorn would approve of; pragmatic, slow, and steady.

Have a wonderful Friday!

When a planet is on the last five degrees of a sign, the planet, as far as how it’s expressed through that particular sign, is considered fully matured and well learned.

On January 3^rd, Venus was on the zero degree point of Pisces. Venus has an orbital period of approximately 225 days, so it spends 18.75 days in each sign. January 3^rd was officially the beginning of this year’s transit of Venus through Pisces. If love is what you’re looking for, then there’s no better way to begin the year.

I have Venus on the 27th degree of Pisces in my natal chart, and I know for a fact that Venus in Pisces is real love-it’s selfless unconditional love, but that’s what the Goddess of Love and Beauty (Venus) learns through her transit of Venus.

A fully matured and evolved Venus in Pisces is selfless and unconditional. Over the next nineteen days, concentrate on your relationships. Try to understand the nature of your relationships and the dynamic between you and the people and things you love.

If you do the work through the January, then by the time Venus is ready to begin her tour through Aries, you’ll be able to ride the wave of love into a brand-new beginning.

Omg, and I can’t even believe the synchronistic timing of this because February is the month in which Saint Valentine’s Day celebrated. Yes, it’s true, Valentine’s Day has turned into a day of consumerism, superficialities, and mainstream garbage, but if you can disconnect from all that and focus on love-real love, then this Valentine’s Day of 2025 could be a very special time.

If you’re single, and you’re actually trying to find someone to get serious with, then highlight the last week of January on your calendar.

Buy some new clothes to update your look, and get your haircut. When you’re confident and feeling good about yourself, you exude good energy. Others will recognize it.

Venus leaves Pisces on February 4^th, and it will be in Aries until March 27^th. On March 27^th Venus will go retrograde and circle back through Pisces before going direct again on April 30^th.

We’ll get two wonderful opportunities to find true love this year; between the last week of January and the end of March, and then again in May.

Be prepared.

It might be winter love, or it might be spring love, but either way, if you end up finding someone who’s right for you by the time Venus returns home to Taurus, you’ve picked yourself a winner!

As Nooz Buffet returns from its two-week vacation and begins working again, we take a look at the event chart for the date and time (1/7/2025 8:00 AM).

Event Chart Provided by Astro.com

With Capricorn on the ascendant, I know this is going to be a year of hard work, work that is so typical of Nooz Buffet, and as the sole contributor under the sign of Capricorn, the revelations of my approach for the last seven years has been steady, determined, and without a doubt, disciplined. That’s a fact.

We see Athena in the Twelfth House on the 14th degree, and we see the Sun conjunct the Goddess of Victory on the 17th degree. This is devotion and fortitude, and having those three planetary bodies in the Twelfth House indicates a winning scenario when it comes to the balancing of karma and being on the good side of receiving, which indicates “right” behavior, a dedication to truth, and proper service in the Sixth House.

I see a major awakening in the Fourth House involving personal possessions and home, and some type of expansion with self-expression also in the Fourth House.

Maybe this is the year I leave home, and I see a the Pilgrims Journey at the place of the ascendant on the 27th degree, which is highly personal because two and seven is my month and day of birth. I don’t know yet if this Pilgrimage is symbolic or literal, but we shall see.

I’m excited, and I’m approaching 2025 with brimming optimism. God knows I work hard, I want to know when that hard work is going to yield rewards.

The conjunction between the North Node and Neptune in the Second House shows some type of spiritual aspect involved when it comes to the acquisition of money and possessions. There’s in fact, something about myself that I might have to change in order to attract what’s rightfully mine. That’s also a fact.

As per usual, Nooz Buffet will be shutting down for vacation time during the last week of December, and the first week of January. I guess a two week vacation might seem excessive, but believe me it’s necessary.

I just took a look at the stats for this year, and it was 196 posts and 101,396 published words. Just to put that in perspective, 101,396 words is equivalent to a paperback that’s about 400 pages.

Emails, and business related to our Astrological Analysis, we’ll be on top of, but there won’t be any postings until Monday, January 6th.

So, check back on Sunday, December 22^nd for our season finale, the last post of 2024.

Also, please keep my brother in your prayers. I didn’t get the full story yet, but I think he might’ve had a stroke while driving today. Thank you everyone.

I played football in high school and I played football at the college level. I was a starter and a captain, and I played inside linebacker and full back. Football has always been a violent game full of high-speed collisions.

Personally, I trained year around, but for the team, the season begins with double sessions during the dog days of summer. It’s takes mental and physical toughness to get through that, and it’s supposed to be difficult to weed out all the people who shouldn’t be there. That’s right. Not everyone is capable. Not everyone has the ability.

By the time the season starts, your squad is made, and you prepare for battle. There’s a certain sense of pride and accomplishment you feel for making it through the summer sessions because not everyone does.

Football is a game that brings people together for a common goal-to win football games. There’s love and passion involved, and over the years, rivalries form. We play the game because we want to play it. We understand the commitment, and we understand the abuse our bodies are going to take.

So, I’m going to just come right out and say it. I understand there are people who want to protect the men who play, but they’ve become like over-protective parents, and in some cases, police.

I don’t believe in this “targeting” call. There’s a difference between actually attempting to hurt someone, which would be targeting, and playing the game the way it’s supposed to be played-aggressively.

Leagues and referees have done only one thing by throwing players out of games for what they consider targeting, they’ve turned the entire world against that one player. There was a time when well timed collisions were celebrated. Defensive players who played the game aggressively and within the rules were feared.

Being feared was a good thing because offensive coordinators would game plan around you, and players didn’t want to go near you. Not all receivers for would reach out to catch that pass because they knew, they were going to get hit hard. The brave ones would, and those who were too afraid would get booed and called out for not sacrificing for their team.

Can’t you see what they’ve done to this game? By changing the rules, the receiver who’s too afraid to lay out for his team no longer gets booed or called out. They boo, reprimand, and remove the defender for playing his position.

I understand the cleaning up of hits that are cheap or unnecessary, but there is way too much interference with the natural play of the game. You should read some of things that people say on internet chat boards about those who get kicked out of games for “targeting.” Players are being made to feel like they did something terrible, they’re hated, booed off the field, and threatened. They’re hated for playing the game aggressively.

Why does our entire culture thrive on the scapegoating and the singling out of one person? As long as that one person gets thrown out, then everyone else can feel safe. That’s terrible.

It’s almost impossible to avoid helmet to helmet collisions. Football players understand that, and they know that. Coaches and trainers should speak with their teams, and they should have a locker room lecture about the dangers of leading with your head when running, tackling, or blocking, but to throw someone out of a game for helmet to helmet contact is a total violation of the game.

It’s a slippery slope that has led to an over-abuse of power. I’ve seen referees throw flags on hits that were super-aggressive and violent. They weren’t helmet to helmet, but because they looked too aggressive, a flag was thrown.

Football, is becoming overly dramatic like our culture, and it seems like people can’t wait to get on their knees next to an injured player and bow their heads. I mean, injuries are a part of the game, and while some of us are saddened when our teammates get injured, no one is going to win an Oscar Award for best supporting actor in a drama series.

No, man. This has gone too far.

The Michigan game yesterday against Ohio State ended with a huge fight, and that happens once in a while. When you have two teams playing, and it’s a rivalry game, there’s a lot on the line. For that rivalry specifically, Ohio State could lose every game during the season, but if they beat Michigan, than it’s all good. Michigan is the same.

Michigan upset Ohio State at Columbus yesterday, and it was a big win for the Wolverines. They were excited, and they decided to plant their flag on the O. Ohio State wasn’t going to stand for that. No one likes to see a game end that way, but it does once in a while. It’s good for the sport, and it’s good for the rivalry. How do you think rivalry games are made? As fans, we love rivalry games. They’re exciting and high-spirited.

Those situations should be contained by players, referees, and coaching staffs. Why the police why be on the field charging people with crimes and spraying football players with mace is another example of how out hand outside interference with the game has gotten.

It’s out of hand. Police should only be on the field to prevent fans from interfering with the game. That’s it. They shouldn’t be there to police the game of football. They shouldn’t be arresting players, charging players with crimes, or spraying mace.

In addition, journalism jobs, commentator jobs, and jobs analyzing games should all be reserved for the men who played the game. That should be their reward for giving their body and life to the game. Everyone wants to hop on the gravy train.

C’mon man. If you didn’t play the game, I have no respect for you or what you have to say about it. Football is a fraternity, and it’s brotherhood. The more outsiders you allow into the game, the weaker it becomes.

Football, and sports in general are important for our country. Through sports, people unite for a common goal regardless of political beliefs, religion, color, and ethnicity. Sports must be preserved, and they must be protected from outsiders and infiltration.

But, I think it’s already too late for that.

So, go ahead. Boo and hate the man for making a good hit. Throw him out of the game. Spray mace and arrest players for fighting on the field. Let people broadcast, analyze, and write about football even though they never played.

No more quarterback under center. No more three yards and a cloud of dust. No more feared safeties and linebackers. Penalize them until they play cautiously. Interfere with the game until you take their focus off the game. Break it up, water it down, and weaken it.

Destroy it, like you do everything else.
