Part of Fortune Placement

In an astrological chart, the Part of Fortune, a little symbol that looks like a circle with a cross in the center, could show a position of worldly success. It’s a place of luck that involves the physical body and one’s health.

The Part of Fortune is not a planet, it’s a mathematical point that requires the degrees of your Sun, Moon, and Rising Sign. Yesterday morning, at 10:47 AM, the Part of Fortune was located near the top of the chart in the 10th House on the 17th degree of Pisces. The Sabian Symbol there reads: Pisces 17 “An Easter Promenade”.

The first thing worth mentioning is that Easter is coming up on the 31st of this month, and Easter, which in Greek is called Pascha, is the feast to celebrate the Resurrection of the Lord.

A resurrection, a fresh start, a rebirth, and a new beginning is what we have to look forward to. The Sabian for Pisces 17 talks about how humans dress up and attend certain functions in society, church being one of them.

The deeper meaning of this symbol goes beyond our need to dress up in our “Sunday Best” for attention because the image we present to the world characterizes our inner and hidden sense of self.

According to the description of Pisces 17 on https://www.jamesburgess.com/an-easter-promenade.html,

we, in a way, idealize ourselves by dressing up, and by doing so, we gain insight into the ideal. That brings us to the most important part of this:

Unless our society allows us to celebrate ourselves as we choose to be, it is not our society. We need our idealised self-image accepted or we cannot realise it.

Variety and extremes of self-exhibition can often lack grace, even to the point of being ridiculous, yet they test our social environment, so they have genuine value. If we find that our Easter persona doesn’t fit – then maybe our workaday personality doesn’t either, and we need to find a better place, or way, to be.

If our idealized self-image isn’t accepted, we cannot realize it (Self-Realization). If your society doesn’t allow you to celebrate yourself as you chose to be, then it’s not your society.

Okay, then, at this point we must consider changing something. Maybe we need to move to a different place that does accept the idealized self-image we have of ourselves.

The importance of this placement falls in line with Easter Sunday and the opportunity for rebirth or a fresh start. Unbelievable Synchronicity!

For a deeper understanding of the POF’s placement in Pisces on the 17th degree, we look to the placement of Neptune, the ruler of Pisces. Neptune is also in Pisces on the 26th degree, but in the 11th House, not the 10th.

The 11th House deals with our future, the friendships we have, and the groups and organizations we may interact with. Through the placement of Neptune, we learn from our higher selves, that this is really about the realization of faith.

Pisces 26, which is where Neptune was yesterday, talks about the freedom of choice. The freedom of choice is what we need if we want to make the necessary changes according to Pisces 17.

If you want the freedom of choice, you have to allow others to have the same-thing, the freedom to chose. At the Soul level, we’re actively creating our lives and our futures, even though a lot of people don’t realize this. If our human soul is creating our future, the it needs to have the freedom to chose what comes next.

Are you pissed off? Feeling stuck?

Feeling like you’re in a rut?

Feeling like you’re stuck in a repeating cycle of events?

Pisces 17 is spiritual, and too much conformity to the extent of robbing the soul of its freedom to chose, will crush the spiritual side of humans.

Free your soul, rebirth is right around the corner.

25 Degrees Sagittarius

February 19, 2024 at 7:40 AM

The Sabian Symbol for the 25th degree of Sagittarius, “A Chubby Boy on a Hobby Horse,” is described as using your imagination to build an ideal life. According to, jamesburgess.com, if we want to be powerful and successful then we need to imagine it and expect it first.

Two years before I graduated high school, I painted a picture of myself in an orange and black football uniform with the number 44. The colors of my high school football team were dark blue and light blue, and at the time, I didn’t have a clue if or where I would be playing when high school was over.

Two years later, when it was all said and done, I was recruited by the William Paterson University Pioneers in New Jersey. Someone had already grabbed the jersey number 44, but their colors were orange and black. I played the next four years at William Paterson.

Interestingly enough, Neptune, in my natal chart was close, off by only two degrees, but this morning at 7:40 AM, the Mc was on the 25th degree of Sagittarius.

The Midheaven, which is also the 10th House cusp, represents the highest part of the chart. The door is open if you would like to manifest a future for yourself through the use of imagination.

Opposite the Mc, is this interesting conjunction between the asteroid Goddess, Astraea, and the Moon. What’s playing into your current stirring of inner emotions and the subconscious has to do with balance, justice, and harmony.

The Moon in Cancer on the 4th degree in the 4th house symbolizes protection. Astraea on the 29th degree of Gemini in the 4th House symbolizes our need to communicate- our need to verbalize our thoughts and get our opinions and view points out there. It’s communication in relation to justice to protect ourselves, what familiar to us, our neighborhoods, and our home.

Astraea’s conjunction with the moon forms a quincunx with Pluto on the 0 degree of Aquarius in the 11th House. This will bring hidden or secretive knowledge to you, and there could be health issues involved.

Whatever you need to get out or communicate, please do so. Don’t hold back, because you’re defending yourself or proving your case.

Now, there’s a tradeoff with this conjunction, and that plays into our favor because with Astraea present, there’s only so much we can do, and there’s only so far we can go.

The tradeoff is the opposition to the Mc. If you’ve done all you could and said all you could say, but you’re still getting no where, then it’s time to flip to the other side of the opposition and trade Astraea’s conjunction with the Moon for the 25th degree of Sagittarius and imagine something better for yourself.

I Caught Me an Internet Thief This Morning!

I’m a man of my word!

I told you guys in my poem, Purification, “I’m up late and stay awake to catch these dirty snakes. “I’m up late and stay awake to catch these dirty snakes.”

The poem, well, you can find that if you scroll to the bottom of the homepage, use the drop down menu titled categories, and then click on poetry, but it wasn’t the poem that was stolen and used without express written permission.

It was a video that I made and posted to the Nooz Buffet Facebook Page in September of 2023. I proposed a question about the Sun and Moon occupying the same sky, and then I made a video to show what I was talking about.

Here’s the link to my video, posted, 9/3/2023.

https://www.facebook.com/reel/129397160248816

I’m not going to publicize the thief, because my complaining seems to be making him famous.

But what I can tell you is this; he copied my video exactly as I made it in 2023, showing the sun first, then zooming in on the moon. There was no audio, but the video was an exact copy.

This scumbag didn’t even reference me!

I guess he thought if he stole my video idea from my NB Facebook Page, and then post it to his Twitter account, then no one would notice.

I noticed! IT’S MY MATERIAL!


PLEASE, If You Found My WALLET..

February 17, 2024

Oh my gosh, I opened my curtains this morning, and it was snowing again. It’s our second snow storm in just four days. On top of that, and all the hassles that come along with snow in general, I lost my wallet.

I couldn’t believe it, and I had some sensitive information in my wallet; license, social security card, debit card, etc. Oh, man. Not good. I’m hoping that there are still some good honest people in the world. Maybe whoever found it could drop it in my mailbox, mail it to me, or bring it to the Dollar Tree on the corner of Tilghman Street and Cedar Crest.

And then, if the loss of my wallet and the snow storms weren’t enough to throw a wrench into my plans, last night I started getting dizzy. I had a temperature of 102 degrees, and I was forced to call out of work this morning.

Such is life…lol…

I don’t want to laugh, but sometimes, when things get so bad, all you can do is laugh.

Antarctica; The Plot Thickens

February 14, 2024

A long time ago, at least fifteen years, I saw a picture of Antarctica on Wikipedia that showed a circle around it, and the circle was divided into different size sections to represent the territories owned by various countries around the world.

Over the years, many wealthy individuals and people in government visited Antarctica. There are many rumors concerning what’s actually down there, and I have several theories of my own.

What is actually there? 

Ordinary people like us, well, we might go our entire lives not knowing the truth. Unless you have a ton of money, know someone with influence or in government, or have the balls to just get up and go there, you’ll have to depend on what people tell you.

Many people think there’s nothing worth hiding. They trust those who travelled there to report the truth back to them, and they believe what they’re told. ”Why would they lie to us or hide anything?” This question pretty much sums up how they feel about things.

But, how about this? I never heard of anyone going to Antarctica to visit. Anyone who goes there usually goes for science and exploration, until…

I just saw this article.

https://abcnews.go.com/GMA/Travel/norwegian-cruise-line-passengers-claim-antarctica-voyage-rerouted/story?id=107222296

Apparently, a Norwegian Cruise scheduled to take its passengers around South America, and then to Paradise Bay, Antarctica, was mysteriously rerouted 200-miles off course. The cruise ship never made it Antarctica, even though that’s what passengers paid for. 

Check out the article for yourself. This just proves my theories that people with money and political power are hiding something there. 

Nooz Now

Tuesday, February 13, 2024

🏈NFL: It’s old news now, but the Kansas City Chiefs won the Super Bowl after beating the San Francisco 49ers in overtime, 25-23. Patrick Mahomes completed 34 of 46 passes for 333 yards and two touchdowns. 

💻Internet: Honestly, outside of this website and the promoting I do for my books, I try to steer clear of internet news because in my opinion, it would almost be the same thing as watching the news on television all day. Well, this morning I woke up at 3 AM, and because I couldn’t go back to sleep, I decided to indulge on my X (Twitter) feed. Everything is violence, sex, lies, propaganda, and just a bunch of stuff that’s not really news worthy. 

Please, do not let the internet agitate you, and don’t let it control your perception of what this life is really about. It just amazes me that we live during a time when anyone can get publicity for free. At one time, people sold themselves out for money, but people are obviously doing it for free today. 

☸Astrology: The astrology for today looks something like this: The Sun, right now, is on the 24th degree of Aquarius in the 1st House. The Moon is on the 13th degree of Aries in the 2nd House. Aquarius is the sign on the horizon and the ascendant is on the 10th degree. Given the current placements for the Sun and Moon, who we are and what we have are highlighted. The 2nd House is the house of personal possessions, and money is included in that area. The 1st House is all about you, the self. I just pulled a chart last night and I think the 11th House Moon in Aries was sextile to Mars in Capricorn in the 9th House. 

The chart this morning really compliments the placement from last night because Aries is an aggressive go-getter type of sign. With Aries now in the 2nd House and the Moon still in its crescent phase, we’re getting the green light once again to pursue the things we need in life. Last night was long journeys in the 9th House and this morning it’s money and possessions in the 2nd House. Both contribute to the first house, especially money. If you think in terms of you and how the people around you see you, then you quickly understand the importance of money as a means to change that appearance you’re presenting. 

I have some heavy karmic lessons I’m dealing with in this life between the 8th House and the 2nd House, and because of that, I can confidently share this with you. Money is not the most important thing in life, but in the system we live in, it’s absolutely necessary. You can’t do much without money. 

Now that that has been said, and we all get it I’m sure, the biggest lesson here is that money makes it very hard for you to see the real you, it’s only without it that you finally get to see who you truly are. Yes, it’s true that money is included in the 2nd House of possessions, but don’t let your need for money dominate. The relationships we have in life are probably the most important. Don’t argue with your loved ones because you’re without money, be grateful and appreciative that you have people around you who love and care about you. That polarity between the 2nd and the 8th House is probably the hardest to balance because our need for money supersedes everything.

📰In the News: 📌Eastern Pennsylvania is getting bombed with snowfall. 

📌Apparently, Justin Bieber turned down an opportunity to perform at the Super Bowl, I guess they wanted him to sing, “Yummy Yummy Yummy Yummy 🎶🎵”. 

📌I don’t know the details, but people in India are worshipping a huge elephant.

📌There might be an issue between former NFL star Shannon Sharpe and comedian, Mike Epps. It’s believed that they’ll discuss their differences when they meet in Indianapolis for NBA All-Star Weekend. No joke!

📌I had no idea that country singer Toby Keith died in 2022 from stomach cancer. That’s noo nooz to me, so I’ll share it with all of you. 

📌I don’t know if you guys saw it, but there’s a picture circulating on the internet of the Grand Canyon and what appears to be the remains of a Sphinx and a pyramid. After looking at the picture myself, it definitely looks like we could’ve at one time, had a Sphinx right here in the United States.

 

My Obligation Through Astrology

February 12, 2024

It is with brimming excitement that I write this. I wrote a similar article several weeks ago concerning synchronization, and so, this article serves as not only a reinforcement, but it also cements my belief in the obligation I have to all of you because of the God-given ability I’ve been given for astrology.

The option of going back to school has been on the table for quite some time now, and this morning I decided to put all the doubts behind me and move forward with furthering my education. 

After doing so, I decided once again to take a peek at the alignment of planets in the “chart of the moment” provided by astro.com. 

The waxing crescent Moon, was in the 11th House in Aries, sextile (60 degrees) Mars in the 9th House in Capricorn.

The message there is for you to go after the future you would like to see for yourself!

The 11th House represents friendships, groups and clubs pertaining to work and networking, wishes, dreams, long-term pleasure, and the future. 

The 9th House represents higher education, deep philosophical concepts and conversations, long journeys pertaining to the spirit, health, relationships, or education, and long-distance journeys outside the country. 

With Mars in Capricorn, the energy there is supporting the commencement of a long journey. Capricorn is the nose-to-the-grindstone sign that’s hardworking. Ruled by Saturn, the Planet of limitations, Capricorn represents rewards through hard work. Mars there is telling us to go for it and go after it. 

Once again, my actions are right in sync with the universe, and this is so clear now, that I have to report the astrology to you guys. I almost feel obligated. 

I hope you guys have a blessed week. 

Super Bowl Sunday, It’s Only the Beginning

This evening, at 6:30 PM, Super Bowl LVIII (58) will be played between the 49ers of San Francisco and the Chiefs of Kansas City. 2024, as a year, is still fairly new as we’re only going into the seventh week.

So, as 2024 is beginning, the Super Bowl, which is the NFL’s last game to be played of the 2023 season, represents the end of the professional football season. Endings and new beginnings, that’s the theme.

Interestingly enough, two nights ago, we had a new moon, which represents the beginning of a brand-new Moon cycle, and tonight, the Moon will be illuminated at 5% in the astrological sign of Pisces.

Tonight’s Super Bowl, the last game of the NFL season, will be played while the Moon is in Pisces, the twelfth and final sign of the zodiac. 

Tomorrow evening, Monday night, it will be the third night of the New Moon cycle, and the Moon will be a waxing crescent still in the first phase. Also, the Moon will also be in the first sign of the zodiac, Aries, and so there, a new cycle is beginning. 

If every ending is really a new beginning, then what does the NFL leave us with as we’re beginning a new year, and a New Moon cycle? 

Well, as a man who loved and played the game of football, I held football in a sacred space, reserving it for those who sacrificed for it, those who actually played it, and those who truly understood what the sport of football was all about.

Today, I watch more college football than NFL because the NFL is fucking disgusting. I’m not going to hold back, and I’m not going to hide the truth from you. Those who run the NFL obviously sold out for money, and the game we see today is saturated with propaganda and politics while it offers the biggest stage for every scumbag in the world to advance their private personal agenda if they have the money to do so.

It seems like our government uses “National Security” as their go-to-ace-in-the hole. As long as they say something is a threat to National Security, they can violate and infringe upon every right we have.

But they NFL, last season promoted two national anthems. I can’t think of a bigger threat to National Security than a group of people within our country establishing their very own national anthem. That means they don’t recognize the same America as the rest of the people in this country. 

Wasn’t the Civil War fought to unify North and North? Wasn’t the Civil War fought to unify this country? Yes, it was. 

And, what about this picture I just pulled off Twitter?

This is terrible. So many people have been asking, “what happened between the relationship between men and women?”

American men are upset. Why are our women competing with us? Men and women, when in a relationship, are supposed to be supporting one another, loving one another, and helping each other.

In case you missed it, the mainstream agenda popularizes and makes the emasculating of men cool. The main stream agenda pushes for the empowerment of women, which in and of itself is okay, but it’s not okay when you need to bring the men around you down to do it. 

This is why the divorce rates are high, and this is why men and women are fighting more. It’s Man, Woman, and children, that’s the family. The destruction of the family- that’s the long term goal of this mainstream agenda, and as long as the mainstream continues to popularize the advancement and empowerment of women at the expense of men, the family continues to suffer.

What does the NFL leave us with?

Nothing but toxicity, negativity, and garbage, and don’t be upset, ashamed, or feel left out if you decide not to watch it.
