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).

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.

In 2011, I joined the University Metaphysical Sciences in Arcata, California because of a personal calling. My Saturn return was two years in the past, and Neptune was just entering Pisces. The timing was perfect.
Right now, I’m five courses away from a bachelor’s degree in either Divinity or Metaphysical Sciences, and I’m grateful that UMS allowed for distance (online) learning at my own pace.
My experience with the school and the staff has been excellent. They’ve been helpful, supportive, and the delivery of learning materials always arrived in a timely manner.
Christine Breese, the Founder of UMS and the Gaia Sagrada Retreat Center in Ecuador, South America, operates from the heart. She’s humble, compassionate, and caring.
I’m proud of my association with UMS, and I look forward to visiting the retreat center some day.

Well, better late than never. I wanted to publish the last post of 2024 on the 22nd, but I’ve been so preoccupied with the holiday, work, and the situation with my brother, which by the way seems to be improving every day. I’m thankful and so grateful for that.
So, this is officially the last post of 2024, and I would like to thank all my readers, subscribers, friends, fans, and followers. I appreciate and love you all.
It’s an end of the year tradition for us to recognize and rank our international fan base. Nooz Buffet is based in the United States, and that’s where the majority of our support comes from, however, every year, there are two or three countries that get really close to catching our national numbers.
Here is the Top 5!
5. Canada
4. Ireland
3. United Kingdom
2. India
1. Kenya
The winner for 2024 was Kenya. For those who don’t know, Kenya, which is also known as the Republic of Kenya, is a country situated in East Africa. Nairobi is Kenya’s capital and largest city. Kenya is home of the Maasai Mara National reserve. It was named in honor of the Maasai People who are the ancestral inhabitants of the area. Locally, it’s known as “The Mara,” and you can find lions, leopards, cheetahs, and African bush elephants there. Thank you so much for your support Kenya, and thank you Canada, Ireland, United Kingdom, and India!
🎈🎉🧨🎇🎆💚🧡❤💜
I’d also like to thank Terri Conroy from the YouTube channel, Danu’s Irish Herb Garden. Terri is amazing. She’s kind and caring, and I love watching her videos. I have several books in my personal collection about natural cures and remedies, herbs, herbal usage, and the overall folklore and mythologies that accompany green living, and when I saw Terri’s video for the first time, I saw her as the embodiment and living personification of something that I was only reading about. If you’re interested, she has an account on Sub Stack, and she publishes a short video on her YouTube channel every Sunday.
Thank you for all your help.
💚💚🍀🧡🧡
I would to thank all the people who purchased Astrological Readings, and all the people who visited Nooz Buffet every time I had something to say. I hope your holiday season is warm, peaceful, and relaxing.
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 22nd 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.
In 2021, my second book, Smorgasbord 2 Catch Up and Relish was published and available for purchase.
Chapter 3 of the first section of that book begins on page 27. It was a story that I made up about an Alien visiting earth to help his friend find meaning between words that were grouped together by numbers. The title of the chapter was Alien Interpretation.
The back story is this; I created a system of numerology called “Oculus 13” and when I began using this system on my own time to find the number value of certain words, I realized that certain words beginning to connect not only by the value they shared, but also by their association to one another as they were used in mythology, astrology, biblical narratives, etc. That was my motivation for writing Alien Interpretation, and I created the story to fit around my findings. The first three pages of that chapter are below.
Fast forward to August 7, 2022.
It was a hot summer day, and I was sitting in bedroom finishing up the final chapter of Smorgasbord 3 Poverty and Prophecy. The air conditioner was on and to prevent the curtains from blocking the ac vents, I flipped them up on the curtain rod and continued typing.
Several minutes later, my room was filled with a bright light of different colors. It was such an amazing light, that I actually stopped typing to look at the source. I took a picture of the window, and it’s below.
So, imagine that you’re typing, and this light fills the room! It’s important for you to know that this is my bedroom window, and it does face the east. Randomly, I took this picture at 7:22 a.m.
I took this picture with my cell phone, and for the next two years I constantly went back to it for several reasons. I couldn’t believe that I flipped my curtains up on the curtain rod, and they just happened to land in a position where they created a perfect triangle.
“Ha, what are the odds of that,” I said to myself.
I thought it was also amazing how the rising sun was aligned exactly and precisely so that it was ascending right into the center of the triangle!
“That is unbelievable,” I said to myself.
And finally, I was intrigued with random colors and the designs they made. I meditated on this picture and my interpretation of the colors coming from the sun’s rays and the strange designs they made was that it was the spirit of the Jaguar Temple (Mayan Temple).
“This is God,” I said to myself, and I began to recreate this image of what I perceived to be God in drawings.
So, I took the picture on 8/7/22 at 7:22 am, and I emphasize that because perhaps the synchronicity between the time and the date had something to do with this. The time, 7:22, was the same as the day and the year.
Fast Forward to two weeks ago, December 2024.
I don’t know what made me do it, but I went back to that picture and turned it upside down. A copy is below.
Immediately, I saw that it was an angel.
The triangle was now the v-neck, and the chequered curtains formed the top of the wings that were extended by the red rays of sunshine. The Sun is the head, and if you look closely, you can see two arms in blue resting at the waist area.
Two weeks ago, I realized that it was an angel that visited me in August of 2022 on the 7th day.
Fast forward to today, December 16, 2024.
I just finished a course that was all about the Qabalah. After finishing the reading today, I realized that Alien Interpretation (Chapter 3 of Smorgasbord 2) was actually a chapter about Gematria!
I had no idea, and I didn’t even know what Gematria was until today. Can you believe that? That proves, that within us, we are filled with ancient wisdom and knowledge, and we don’t even need to be taught it.
It will just pour out of us through the creative work we do. I didn’t even need to be taught Gematria. Subconsciously, it was inside me.
The last page of study material about the Qabalah was number 27. 27 was the page number that Alien Interpretation began on. Synchronicity.
At the end of the study material, the author wrote this:
However, as with the Zohar, the question of “who done it?” might in the end be irrelevant. Liber AL Vel Legis contains a consistent qabalistic system that can be reconciled with the Gematria of the Hebrew Qabalah. Does this system of Gematria prove the reality of angelic intervention? Does magick work regardless of the “truth?” Or have the Magi been fooling us with smoke and mirrors for millenia? You decide.
-Balthazar Seferiades
The answer, I now know, is yes. The system of Gematria does prove the reality of angelic intervention.
I want to also share this with you. It’s something I discovered the other day.
The cross Jesus was nailed to had letters at the top of it. They were I N R I.
According to the computer, INRI is an abbreviation for the Latin phrase, Iesus Nazarenus Rex Iudaeorum, which translates to, “Jesus of Nazareth, King of the Jews”
I feel differently.
INRI, according to me, translates to, “INNER EYE”
INR = Inner. And I = eye.
Inner eye or as it’s spelled in this picture, occalus.
Occalus (as in oculus 13), aligns in this picture where the descendant would be in astrology. And, ortus, which means, having appeared, to come into existence, have risin, is where the ascendant would be in astrology.
The inner eye represents the mysteries and everything that’s hidden, occult/oculus. It’s represents the 3rd eye, the eye of God, consciousness, and the creative fire of passion.
In a different picture I took of my window on 8/7/2022, after zooming in as far as I could zoom, I discovered an eye.
The mysteries of the universe are slowly being revealed to us and through us.
With the Moon sitting on the “Zero” degree point of Aries, we feel a sense of renewal, and rightfully so. A look at the astrological chart for the current time (8:45 a.m.) shows the Moon on the cusp or border in between Pisces and Aries, and the Moon is also on the cusp or border in between the Second and Third Houses.
The key alignment is twofold. The opposition between the Moon and the Moon’s south means that a line has been drawn, and we must make a decision. If we decide to go the way of the Moon, then we realize there’s a conjunction between the Moon and the Moon’s north node.
If the north node is the way for this lifetime, then this decision should be obvious.
We can, if we chose to do so, put the past aside now, and begin looking towards the future. The north node is in Third House, and the Moon is in the Second House. It’s a great time to open up conversations about the things we physically own and the money we’re in possession of.
With the south node in Libra, the north node in Aries, and the Moon in Pisces, there’s a pretty clear message. If we chose to let the south node go, then we also let the other go. It’s time now for us to concentrate on ourselves and make our lives a priority. Dealing with the other has been a long journey, and it has drained us of our time, our love, our resources, and our energy.
In Pisces, the Moon’s position reminds us to be compassionate, but at same time, the north node in Aries reveals that this is really about us. Aries is the first sign of the zodiac, and the sign that represents the spring equinox. It’s a time of renewal, creativity, love, and fire. If you’re resonating with the spirits of Aries and Mars now, then forge ahead.
Put yourself first, and don’t feel guilty about it.
Conversations now could involve your spirituality or religious pursuits. Maybe you’ve been dying to speak with a tarot card reader, an astrologer, or a psychic. You might even want to talk to a higher power or meditate.
You could also be discussing the things you own as they pertain to your faith or religious beliefs.
Purchase something new today, even if it’s something small and inexpensive. Treat yourself, you’ll be happy you did.
As the last sign of the zodiac, Pisces is probably the most mysterious, but we’re moving forward with a renewed sense of faith.
Currently, the Moon is 33% illuminated in the astrological sign of Aquarius. The Seventh House Moon is connected by sextile with Chiron in the Ninth House, and it’s connected by trine with Jupiter in the Eleventh House.
Relationships and partnerships are highlighted now. These relationships could involve coworkers, lovers, friends, and general acquaintances.
Chiron in the cardinal fire sign, Aries, shows that healing or repairing requires us to find the courage to do so. Aries is the “I Am” sign, and right now, it’s most important for us to be ourselves. Be assertive, and don’t be afraid to be a leader.
Jupiter, the planet of expansion, is rewarding us for speaking our peace. Gemini is all about self-expression, and we know how much Gemini’s love living in their heads and their little worlds, but while doing so, we’ve taken and absorbed a lot recently.
There’s a time to listen, and there’s a time to speak. Within our relationships and partnerships, it’s time to be heard. It’s time for our partners to hear how we feel, and where we stand on certain issues. New doors and new opportunities will open up for us once our partners and friends know how we feel.
We’re not mind readers.
This is also a time to take the initiative and perhaps, go out of our way to meet new people and make new friends. Getting away from the hustle and bustle to mediate and to have time alone to be with our thoughts is always good to do, but take notice on the amount of time you’re actually spending alone.
Companionship and friendship is important. Constant loneliness isn’t healthy. Chiron is offering us healing through partnerships, so the people we meet now, we might need more than we think. Don’t be so quick to walk away.
Ask for help if you need it. Tell the people close to you that you love them.
This morning’s conjunction between the Moon and Pluto in the First House , which is in trine with the Moon’s south node in the Ninth House, could bring back issues from the past. Emotional disturbances could be the result.
Today, you’re not the person you were a year ago. Today, you’re not the person you were five years. You shouldn’t be, and if you are, then you’re not growing.
We often have experiences that push us and knock us off center, but the key is to not spiral out of control. Make your point, remake it if it’s necessary, and then move on.
Certain things take time, it’s just the way it is. The south node in the Ninth House indicates a long journey of some sort or something that’s taking a long time to come to fruition. Although you’re prepared for the long haul, the people around you might not be.
It might even be hard for them to understand why you do the things you. Confused and lost they have no alternative but to infiltrate your world for answers. It isn’t right for them to do that, but we cannot control what other people do.
The Sun on the 13th degree of Sagittarius reveals that we’re still dealing with unresolved issues, so the interpretation of the Moon’s trine with the south node is correct, but the key question here is who these issues belong to.
Aquarius is a futuristic sign, and with the Moon and Pluto conjoined there, it’s possible that you’re so far ahead that you’re beyond everything. The only way people can get anything out of you is by throwing the past up to your face. They hope you respond. Ideally, we don’t want to give them the satisfaction, but some things are hard to ignore.
If you’re like me, we take responsibility for our actions. We look inward. We look at every experience and every interaction as a chance to learn and grow. Not everyone is that way. Some people are happy arguing. Some people complain and complain, and when you give them advice because you care about them, they ignore the advice.
It’s draining.
Right now, at this time, issues from the past are coming back around, that’s for sure, but if you’re healed and already over these issues, then you must remove yourself from the company of those who aren’t. If you don’t, you’ll find yourself arguing over other people’s unhealed trauma.
This day will get better, but be sure to take something away from the early morning drama.
It’s Sunday, the first day of December, and a new lunar cycle is beginning today. It’s a great day to mediate, regroup, and review your 29-day-plan. Some of us may be feeling a wave of excitement, energetic, and ambitious.
The creative fire of Sagittarius is fed with optimism. Maintain an upbeat attitude, and do your best to seem interested even if you’re not.
You’ve been knocking on a door all day and all night, but no one is answering. Someone was home, and they heard you knocking, but after looking through the peephole and seeing an upset face, they decided not to. You weren’t really upset, that was just their perception of you.
So, this time, knock with a smile, and watch as the door finally opens up for you.
As the days pass and we get into the crescent phase, some sort of action will need to be taken. Don’t be afraid to explore, and don’t be afraid or too close-minded to try new things. Visit new places, eat new foods, and talk to different people. If there’s nothing holding you back, then go.
With a new moon in Sagittarius, this cycle would great for addressing large audiences, registering for classes or certifications, or traveling, but whatever it is that you decide to do, do it without fear. Do it with the intent of becoming better educated and more evolved. This is about growth, branching out, and broadening your horizons. It’s about expansion; going further and doing more.
Just like the door.
Knocking wasn’t enough. Now, you need to knock and smile. You’re openness to change will put you in the mix of new experiences and challenges, and that’s where growth comes from.
Maybe you’ll make some bad decisions, maybe you’ll make some good ones, but don’t get to concerned with good and bad because you’ll learn something from both. The important thing is that you just do it. Get involved and worry about everything else later.
Here’s where we begin to follow the Archer’s Arrow angled towards wisdom, and attempt to remove ourselves, as much as possible from the human condition and things that upset us.
This lunar cycle will culminate on December 15th with a full moon in Gemini. It will be a time of revelations, and in addition to that, Gemini, The Twins, could be foreshadowing something. Maybe, during the next two weeks, while we’re out and about and enjoying our freedom, we’ll have met someone who turns out be a person of great importance. It could be a friend, a lover, or a business partner.
