According to Francis Joseph LaManna

If God gave us free will, then I would imagine that he hates a lying, manipulative, and controlling person.

I do.

Chapter 1

Beloved, the times are changing, and one day, humanity will see a better way. I’m 44. That’s 44 years of living on this earth, and that’s 44 years of life experience.

2I, in no way, learned all there is to learn, but what I did learn is that learning is the beginning of a process that ends in mastery.

3There’s a lot of people who hold the belief that the flock needs to be led, and these people, most of which are barely capable of taking care of themselves, rush into positions of leadership and authority.

4They command and demand respect, but they don’t deserve it. You’ll realize that these people are wrong, and they’ve always been wrong.

5And to these individuals, I say that it’s your impurity that makes you wrong. Think about your intentions; are they sincere and genuine? Do they come from the heart?

6Soon, like I have, Humanity will see a better way because the truth is that the flock doesn’t need to be led.

7We’re intelligent beings not animals. You will not round us up and then divide us along the lines of religious beliefs, age, gender, skin color, birth place, or anything else that’s obvious.

8While it’s true that death is a consequence of life, and while it’s true that we’re not going to be here forever, you should, instead of rushing around acting like you’re living through one big emergency drill, make better use of your time.

9All of the planets known to us in the solar system orbit the sun in a counter-clockwise rotation; at different speeds, but orderly and in one direction.

10Then, here comes some unknown planet, a hero coming in from the opposite direction, causing a collision with whatever stands in his way, and in doing so, becomes the creator of something.

11Nibiru, who’s orbit around the Sun was completely opposite from every other known planet, was in fact, the only one going in the proper direction.

12Beloved, don’t worry about finding Nibiru out in the solar system, or in space, just learn from his story. Seek to be different, and when you do, you’ll realize you’re doing the right thing.

13What I’ve learned is that 80% of people all do the same thing, and they all do the same thing because they don’t know what to do. They do what everyone else is doing. That’s safe. They build communities and feel secure within those communities.

14There’s nothing wrong with that, nothing at all, but to truly be alive, you can’t be afraid of dying. You cannot live in fear.

15This 80% doesn’t need to be led, they chose to be followers, but it’s one thing to follow out of a lack of knowledge and wisdom, and it’s another thing to be full of wisdom and knowledge and chose to follow because you’re too afraid to trust yourself.

16That controlling, lying, and manipulative person is the one who believes that people need to be led because he’s the one who’s telling you to trust him and not yourself. But the truth is that he really doesn’t believe that people need to be led, he just needs people to follow him.

17Beloved, trust in the wisdom of your body so that you can separate yourself from the 80%.

18The deck is stacked against us, there’s shit on both sides, so your thinking must be diagonal.

19You don’t understand a lot of what I’m writing to you, because you’re still in your teens and twenties, but one day, my writings will be of great value to some of you. You’ll realize one day, that you have a higher calling, and that there is a road that will take you back home.

20The calling is coming from the highest version of you, and you need to open the lines of communication.

21When you do, you’ll hear, and see, and dream, and feel, and notice, and believe; and I will never tell you that you’re crazy for what you’re experiencing because your salvation depends on the faith you have in the wisdom and the fire of your body.

22It’s your salvation, and it’s your body. Not mine.

Hail Mary

The first picture is of our Blessed Lady, Mary, and the second picture is of a peacock.

This is really crazy because I’ve been talking to this woman for three years, and every once in a while, she disappears for weeks and months at a time.

This happens to be one of those times where she’s MIA, and interestingly enough, on her birthday, which is in two days on the 18th, the Sun will be on the 28th degree of Taurus.

A woman pursued by mature romance, um, yeah, that’s what’s literally happening.

And, then, the next day when the Sun reaches the 29/30th degree on the 19th, the Sabian Symbol represented is below.

I just can’t make this stuff up.

Good Morning! Thank you for visiting N.B. and welcome to this edition of Nooz Now. And now, it’s time for..

The Nooz

🌓 Tonight’s Moon will be 61% illuminated in the astrological sign of Virgo. Shirley MacLaine, J. P. Morgan, and Kennedy’s John F. and Edward M., were born with their natal Moons in Virgo. In the sign of the maiden, there is a tendency to be argumentative and high strung, but even the darkest sides of the Virgo moon seem to come from a very good place.

Virgo is conscientious. She’s aware and seeks to know, so as long as we’re coming from a genuine place of sincerity, we cannot be wrong. Last night was the first quarter moon, which means we have approximately one more week until totality. Reading, studying, and intellectual work that grounds us is good for this transit through Virgo.

🌞 2024 is moving rather quickly; we’re half-way through May already, and the Sun is almost done with his journey through Taurus. Today, the Sun shines brilliantly on the 26th degree of Taurus delivering warmth and light. As we prepare to move into the sign of communications and self-expression (Gemini), we take with us, lessons of dependability and consistency.

⚾ The MLB Season began on March 28th. The Yankees are 29-15 and a half-game up on the Orioles in the East, the Guardians lead the central division (Who TF are the Guardians, and when did they become a team?), and the Mariners are 1.5 games ahead of the Rangers in the West. For the National League, the Phillies are 3 games ahead in the East, the Brew Crew leads in the central, and in the West, the Dodgers are 7 games ahead of the Fathers (🤣🤣Padres).

🧡 We have about thirty-five days until the summer season begins on July 21st. Litha, summer solstice, and in some traditions, Midsummer, represents a time of peak fertility used to celebrate love, health, purification, and dedication.

😷 The Epoch Times reported that people who received more than one vaccine to protect themselves from covid actually made themselves twice as likely to get it.

The North Carolina Senate is now moving to ban wearing masks in public as the bigger picture is finally starting to become clear-they’re being worn by criminals and protestors. Personally, it is my belief that there’s a strong connection between mental disorders and mask-wearing. What are you hiding your face for?

🛑 A teenager in Colorado, Nicholas Karol-Chik, pleaded guilty for his involvement in the death of Alexa Bartell. This case is really a shame, senseless, and stupid. Apparently, several teenagers were driving around in a vehicle driven by Chik, and they were throwing rocks at other cars on the road?

What?

Anyway, one of the rocks went through the windshield of the car driven by 20-year-old, Alex Bartell, and killed her. SMH. Dumb, just dumb.

Alright everyone, enjoy your day.

I love and appreciate you. Please purchase my books so I’m not poor forever.

Moon Scope

May 13, 2024 Edition

Moon 3 degrees Leo, 11th House

At 1:22 PM, the Moon was sighted on the 3rd degree of Leo in the eleventh house. Self-confidence should receive a boost now as the Moon makes her way into Leo, and that’s always a good thing because sometimes society can place so many restrictions upon us that the atmosphere can be suffocating.

Suffocation, people will tell you that it’s from asthma or anxiety, but there’s something else that shouldn’t be ruled out. Suffocation is a sign of death. When something ceases to grow, it begins to die. Tyranny, fear, restrictions, limitations; if you’re living in fear or allowing others limit your choices, growth, or your potential, you’re body is going to send you warning signs.

God gave you the breath of life, breathing is life. If you’re experiencing bouts of suffocation, then you need to take a look at your life, and remember something, it’s your life.

This leads me to my second point; we can’t place all the blame on society. At some point, we must take responsibility for the things we did or didn’t do.

The eleventh house is the place where all of our wishes and dreams manifest. It’s a futuristic house, meaning that it represents the things we want, what we hope to have one day, and ultimately, the kind life we’d like to live someday. In a way, it can also represent what we’re aspiring or working towards.

Leo in the 11th House and because the Sun rules Leo, the Moon is pushing us towards a big-bright future that’s full of light, life, and abundance. Sometimes, loose ends don’t need to be tied up, they can just be cut off.

Not knowing what you want and not having a plan is okay, it means you aren’t done. And honestly, some of us are in that situation because we’re unsure about what’s out there.

The 3rd degree of Leo is about doing things in our own way, and we’re clearly shown that that’s the best way of getting all we hope and wish for. The MC is on the zero degree of Gemini (the sign of personal expression) conjunct Jupiter (abundance and prosperity). The Moon is pushing you towards being yourself, originality, authenticity, and speaking up for yourself.

Leo in the 11th House represents a big bright future for the bold and the exuberant. You cannot be a follower, submissive, or refuse to speak up for yourself.

The 13th and the 14th, today and tomorrow, are the last two nights before the first quarter moon. You’re running out of time. Get all your errands done, get your running-around done, and get all of your homework done before the 15th. After Wednesday, we can take a step back and see what rises to the top of this bubbling cauldron.

Lucky numbers are 8,9, and 17. Gold is also highlighted now.

Before I end this Moon Scope, I would like to mention that house eleven is the place of long term pleasures. Think about that in terms of the fifth house, which is short term pleasure. The fifth house is all about experimenting, having fun, being creative, sexual, and it represents an early and more immature time in our lives. Smoking weed on a Friday night is fifth house thing-short time pleasure, enjoying the moment.

In our personal charts, the eleventh house represents our future, and the sign there shows us how to go about making it the happiest and most fulfilling. Long term pleasure is about personal enjoyment. It’s about real true joy and personal satisfaction.

Take the Block Off

God blessed me with Uranus on the 25th degree of Scorpio in the 5th House.

I can see.  I see things differently, I see through deception, and I can see commonalities in things others miss.

I analyze my numbers here at WordPress, and what my eyes are telling me is that someone is playing with my sites visibility.

I’m still getting between 8 and 15 views on a Good day, and 2 to 4 on a bad day, even though I’ve been working at this for six years and published 1300 articles. 

I don’t think they’re restricting my ability to gain followers, but it does appear that someone is playing with the category for views and visits.

Proof of this came one day, all of a sudden, out of the blue, after getting an average of between 8 and 10 views every day for several years, someone at WordPress got caught lacking and my views were in the hundreds!  That happened one day, and then it went back to normal the following day.

I work hard, and at this point I can only hope things are fair.

A Glimpse Into the Astrology of Joan Jett

September 22, 1958

Rock Legend, Joan Jett, will be 66 this year, and yes, she’s a native of Pennsylvania. I think it’s interesting how certain celebrities come to my mind for astrological interpretation. There’s really no rhyme or reason to it, they just pop in my head, and what I find most interesting is that after looking at the chart, there’s always some planetary alignment I’ll have in common with the person.

With Joan Jett, she has Chiron on the 18th degree of Aquarius, which is where my Sun is located. The core wounding for Chiron in Aquarius is disappointment in self, self-destruction, feeling invisible, and a disconnection from one’s body.

Clearly, Joan Jett is not afflicted by her Chiron placement as a healed Chiron manifests as an authentic connection to others and the community, the ability to express feelings, and in touch with intuition. Jett is an amazing example of someone not only stepping into her power, but embracing it to the fullest.

The 18th degree of Aquarius has to do with truth and trust. “An unmasked man,” as the Sabian Symbol shows, reminds us that no matter how hard we try to hide the truth, it will always come out in the end. So, the lesson is really about embracing our eccentricities and the things that make us different, because ultimately, they’re what make us special and what will bond us to others.

She has Jupiter on the 2nd degree of Scorpio, which is where my Moon is, and her Moon on the 29th degree of Capricorn is within two degrees of my descendent.

Jett was born on September 22nd, which puts her Sun on the Libra Virgo Cusp. Venus, the planet ruling Libra, and Mercury, the planet ruling Virgo are in a conjunction in Virgo separated by two degrees. That’s the Goddess of Love and Beauty linked with the God of Communication.

That’s a person who loves expressing herself!

Virgo 16 degrees (Venus) is about embracing the beast within us, and the Sabian Symbol for Virgo 18 degrees (Mercury) shows an Ouija board. That’s about intuition, which directly connects her Venus and Mercury conjunction back to the placement of Chiron.

Rock on Joan!

📺 It’s nothing but drama for the family of one of my favorite actors. Weston Cage, son of actor, Nicolas Cage, allegedly beat the crap out of his mother and gave her a black eye. Christina Fulton, Weston’s mother, blames Hila Arounian, Weston’s ex-wife, for creating a hostile environment and making it impossible for her to have a relationship with her granddaughters. I mean, they said Weston has a history of mental disorders, but no one knows for sure what his problem is, and it doesn’t seem like his mother wants to put the law on him, so..

On a brighter note, the boy’s father, Nicolas Cage, said he’s looking to retire after 45-years in cinema. In 45-years, Cage made over one-hundred movies, and he says that he would like to leave on a high note. The Humanity Bureau was the last Nicolas Cage film I saw, and it was pretty darn good.

🛐 As if walking into a church and pointing a gun at a pastor wasn’t strange enough, the plot deepens. This case has people talking divine intervention- so, this guy walks into a church in Pennsylvania, pulls a gun out, points it at a pastor’s face and pulls the trigger.

Thank God, literally, the gun jammed and the bullet never discharged. Another church member, after seeing this, quickly springs into action and tackles the gunman. The gunman’s name is Bernard Polite, and he’s now being held in Allegheny County Jail.

At some point after the incident at the church, police searched Polite’s home, and they found a dead man who was killed from a gunshot wound. The dead guy was a relative of the man who pulled the gun on the Pastor. Obviously, there’s more to this case than what happened at the church and police are still investigating.

😺 I don’t know, it seems to me that this cat was trying to kill his owner, but everyone else thinks the cat was just showing affection. Every night, after this guy would lay down, he noticed his cat would jump into the bed and stare at him until he fell asleep. After installing a camera to record the cat’s behavior while he was sleeping, the video revealed the cat blocking the guy’s mouth as he slept. This was alarming for the man because he had a history of asthma. The owner laughed it off, but I don’t know-seems like a kill cat to me. https://www.wecb.fm/his-cat-stares-at-him-all-night-he-finally-films-it-and-understands-the-reason/

🎈 Happy Birthday, James Burgess. James Burgess owns the website that I use for the astrological Sabian Symbols. He was born on May 7th in 1951.

There’s also a James Burgess that plays linebacker for the Green Bay Packers, but that’s not him.

❓ Here’s a story put out by the Associated Press about three guys who went to the beach to surf, and ended up getting executed. Three young men killed over car tires. Terrible, terrible.

Reaching Ronda, Part 1

If you Google Ronda Rousey, it will tell you she’s an American Professional Wrestler and Actress, but she was also the first female fighter to sign with the UFC. Rousey fought in the UFC from 2012 to 2016, and she became UFC’s first female Bantamweight Champion.

The timing of her entry into the UFC was absolutely favored by the heavens; in December of 2011, Regulus, the Kingly Star of the Constellation Leo, which is also the heart of the lion, crossed over the Leo Virgo border into Virgo on the zero degree.

Ronda is an Aquarius born on the 1st of February in 1987. Her natal Sun is on the 12th degree of Aquarius, and her career as a fighter was a physical manifestation of a difficult spiritual lesson.

When you think of a fighter in general in connection with their sport you know the obvious. Not everyone will be a title holder or a belt holder. They train to be the best in the world, and while some achieve what they set out to do, others are less fortunate. This has nothing to do with fighting itself, or her record as a fighter. It’s more about the bigger picture that show us that not all fighters are on the same level.

Without the physical manifestation of finding an outlet for aggression, which was definitely something Rousey needed to do in this life, it would be impossible to understand the spiritual meaning behind the placement of her Sun.

We are all representations of our creator, and all of us come here with a message to share. Some of us come straight out and do it, while others are a living testimony.

On the 12th degree of Aquarius, the Sabian Symbol of Ronda’s Sun represents improvement. It shows people on stairs graduating upwards, which shows that spiritually, we’re all on different levels. Physical competition can prove where we stand physically, but how can we prove the exact same message spiritually?

We’re not all equal, and as James Burgess puts it, “However spiritually inspiring it may be to think that we are all of the same worth and level of attainment, the truth is that it is not so.”

This is important because it’s the first step towards self-improvement. Once you identify your placement in the grand scheme and then realize that you can be better and climb higher, the choice to do so becomes your make.

I don’t know Ronda personally, but considering the conjunction in her chart between Venus and Uranus in the sign of Sagittarius, I’m willing to bet that she has a deep and personal love for freedom and independence. She’s a seeker of new challenges and loves the chase, but she’s selfless enough to dedicate herself to a cause.

I’ve been thinking about something I heard while listening to Bringers of the Dawn by Barbara Merciniak, https://youtu.be/oFNM5rU6W6k?si=WGb6LIK-vV5o67FV.

Listen to 1:58:00 to 2:03:00

We do not have a pantheon of powerful female creator images. We have nothing on which to pattern a positive image of the empowered feminine. So, men are striving to be male and women are striving to be empowered through a male vibration because their is no clear vision of the empowered female. WE MUST CREATE IT!

Did I lose you?

Ronda Rousey is a great example of a woman striving to be empowered through a male vibration, but both men and women are lost without a clear vision of the empowered female because both men and women must balance the masculine and feminine within themselves.

Think about it? What would that look like?

I thought about this and thought and thought. What would an empowered female look like?

Important Message Hidden Within the Current Astrology

Good Afternoon Beloved!

Let’s take a look at the current astrology provided by https://www.astro.com/free/free_chart_e.htm. Thank you for your Chart of the Moment.

There are several planets in close proximity of one another in Taurus. Taurus represents practicality, patience, and dependability, and Venus is actually home in this earth sign.

When it comes to love, Taurus reminds us to take our time. Stability ranks high with the Bull, therefore, consistency over time is the key for natural selection, or separating the wheat from the chaff. Who will be there standing when the dust settles? Only time will tell.

In the 10th House, which is where matters involving personal reputations and careers manifest, Taurus points the way forward. An approach that’s quite, determined, and fixed on the task at hand will win the hearts of many. With the Sun close by, the life force powers us along. We’re blessed with warmth, will power, and all that is necessary to cultivate the life we want for ourselves.

Jupiter is on the 24th degree, and Uranus is on the 22nd degree, which means these two planets are separated by only 2 degrees. The presence of Uranus indicates freedom and independence. Uranus is life and the God of transformation. Jupiter here can be working in a twofold manner. He can either be there providing all that we need and require to achieve this transformational journey, or he can be there to represent the abundance and prosperity that can be ours when all is said and done.

It’s probably a little of both, but because he’s ahead of the pack and the closest to the end of the sign, I have a feeling he’s showing us what’s at the end of the road. It’s Gemini, and as we look to the location of Gemini’s ruler, Mercury, we see that attainment is at hand.

I had a dream last month; I was standing on the outside of a circular fence that was holding a large group of bulls. The bulls went from being quiet and sniffing the ground they walked on to an immediate state of rage, and with that rage they broke through the fence. As they ran to freedom, they smiled at me.

Do you feel stuck? Do you feel imprisoned? Confined? Well, the famous American Founder, Benjamin Franklin, once said:

“Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety.”

The Bull wants stability, and it wants a place to call home and to be surrounded by all it considers beautiful, but the bull will never go along just to get along.

Jupiter is showing us the light at the end of the tunnel, which is the transformational journey represented by Uranus, and the Sun is representing the power of the human will when all the we love (Venus) is on the line. Love is on the line, and the only way to get it is through transformation. The Sun is giving us the nod, and Jupiter is showing us what can be ours.

Like the Bulls in my dream, it begins with you tearing down the temporary partitions providing safety and comfort, and going after all that is yours. Your love.

The Leather Jacket

The Leather Jacket
By: Francis Joseph LaManna


How I came to be in possession of such magnificence was truly by chance. I recently purchased an old home not far from Manhattan’s Garment District in New York, and it was probably two or three weeks after I had moved all of my belongings in and got myself situated that I stumbled upon a hidden room on the third floor.

It was approximately six feet in height, and the dimensions of the floor were four feet by four feet. It was more like a walk-in closet than a room, but either way, I walked into this space and there it was.

I’ve always had an eye for fashion, and I’ve seen a lot, but this was a first. Hanging there, on a hook screwed in to the back wall of this closet was a vintage leather, burgundy in color. “Good heavens,” I muttered to myself. This was indeed the finest and most marvelous of all outer wear.

That evening, I tried it on, and I must admit, it looked fantastic on me. I felt like a new man, no wait, like a distinguished man. The jacket itself commanded respect, and while it was on me, I felt like I could’ve been anything I wanted. A business man, a gangster, an academic expert in a far-reaching field like psychology or philosophy-whatever, you name it, and I could’ve been it.

Without a doubt, this leather jacket belonged to me now, and as the saying goes, finders keepers. I brought the jacket downstairs, and before adding it to my own collection of coats, I made sure to place it on a hanger of good quality. Leather jackets can be quite weighty, and I didn’t want it to end up on the floor.

Several nights later, Martin Saint Pierre, a good friend of mine, came over and I implored him to try on the jacket. After several hours of making up poor excuses, he finally decided to walk upstairs with me to see what the fuss was all about. Well, his eyes lit up, and while his mouth hung open, I had to remind him not to drool on my new carpet.

“Ooh, very nice,” he said. And then, he reached for the coat. After sliding both arms in and adjusting the collar, he decided to fasten the three buttons on the front of the jacket.

Now, let me tell you this, Martin Saint Pierre was no saint, but he didn’t deserve to die the way he did that night. His face turned three different shades of blue, purple, and red before he fall backwards and hit his head on the floor. But, it wasn’t his head hitting the floor that did him in! We just couldn’t get the jacket off of him, and as he struggled in his attempts to do so, the jacket got tighter and tighter.

The leather jacket suffocated him, and a lot of other people too. I gave it as a birthday gift to people I didn’t like, and then I would just take it back and wear it home. As a matter of fact, it’s still in my closet.

The Leather Jacket is a short story fiction piece written by Francis Joseph LaManna.
