The book signing event scheduled for 1:00 pm on the afternoon of July 22, 2023 at the Lehigh Valley Mall Barnes & Noble for my latest book release, Smorgasbord 2 Catch Up and Relish, has been canceled due to renovations and construction at the Barnes and Noble store location.
I’ll keep everyone in the loop with rescheduling and future events.
Thanks y’all!
Imagine someone far away. They’re standing on their home planet looking out into space. They see a bright star in their sky and learn that it’s the Sun.
It’s a part of the solar system and has many planets and other objects orbiting it. This person says, “The sun is a star in the ________ constellation.”
What constellation?
There can’t be other systems in our solar system, but there can be other star systems in our constellation.
But what constellation is our Sun in? Where are we?
Think about this.
Stars, they’re like suns. A sun is a star. Our Sun is a star. Constellations are filled with stars. Most of those stars have planets orbiting them.
Those stars and their orbiting planets are separate systems. Our Sun is a star with planets orbiting it. We live on earth, a planet orbiting the sun. Our planet and our Sun are a part of the solar system. The solar system is in the Milky Way Galaxy.
But..where are we?
Is our Sun just one of many stars in an unknown constellation unknown to us because we’re in it?
Isn’t it likely there are other stars nearby with planets orbiting them? How can our Sun be the only star when other constellations have so many?

Hello! Thank you for visiting NB, and welcome to this June 26, 2023 Edition of Nooz Now! I’m you host Francis Joseph LaManna.
🔱Towards the end of 2012 I had a strange dream. I was in a Chinese restaurant, and the menu was full of things related to sex. 69ing cost x-amount of dollars, doggy-style cost x-amount of dollars, and so on. I was excited as I sat at the table ordering my hearts desire, but the excitement quickly turned to frustration because my orders were never served.
I woke up, still upset from the dream, but here’s the crazy part; My life was without sexual activity for almost the next 10 years! Not only did I spend those years single, but I felt invisible to women.
I’m not going to tell you dreams are powerful because everyone says that, I am however, going to tell you that are important. I’ve been hearing it a lot lately that the dream world is another legitimate world we visit when we fall asleep. Personally, I believe dreams not only provide a foreshadow of things to come in this life, and give us an additional way to gain information, but they could very well be the gateway to the afterlife. Didn’t the experts tell us that life after death, or the afterlife, was a dream of the Egyptians? Is it that hard to imagine waking up in a dream world when your life ends here? I don’t think so.
⚜People get on me all the time for being positive and optimistic. To those people I share this;
You’ll understand my reasons for remaining positive and optimistic, and you’ll understand why I stay away from people who are constantly upset, people who constantly share bad news, and people who perpetuate falsities and lies when you understand the power of the spoken word and personal thoughts. When you begin to manifest your thoughts, and when you begin to see on the outside, that, which is on the inside, you’ll understand me.

🎈As you know, astrologically, the sun is now in Cancer! Happy birthday season to all the Crabs. Check out this star-studded list of people who were born with their sun’s in Cancer ♋. I would like you guys to know, I don’t list famous birthday’s because I’m obsessed with stars, I do it because it shows us the possibilities of what having a sun in certain sign can produce. In a sense, it shows the people who paved the way and those responsible for why signs have the attributes they do today.
Famous Cancer Sun’s
Alexander the Great, Louis Armstrong, Bill Blass, James Cagney, Pierre Cardin, Jean Cocteau (French Poet, creative, novelist, filmmaker, a Renaissance Man, and last known member of the Priory of Sion), Tom Cruise, Oscar de la Renta, Princess Diana of England, Harrison Ford, Ernest Hemingway, Susan Hayward (Brooklyn’s Own), Helen Keller, Rose Kennedy, Ann Landers, George Orwell, Nelson Rockefeller, Ginger Rogers, Jean-Jacques Rousseau, Sylvester Stallone, Henry David Thoreau, and Mike Tyson.
Wow! As you can probably imagine, I had to cut that list short, but Cancer is loaded with designers , actors, and actresses.
🗞In local news, a shooting in an Allentown, Pennsylvania Waffle House left one person injured, and a body was recovered from the Lehigh River in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania. Authorities are still investigating the body.
🔭Four new elements were added to the periodic table: 113 NIHONIUM, 115 MOSCOVIUM, 117, TENNESSINE, and 118 ORGANESSON. It does seem like every time an element is discovered and confirmed, we find the corresponding planet soon after (Uranus, Neptune, Pluto).

💲💲💲 Jay-Z and Beyonce just purchased a $295 million-dollar home in California. It’s the most expensive home ever sold in the state of California. It’s unbelievable, and personally, if I could just get in there to work on a book, I would greatly appreciate it.
Alright everyone, enjoy your Monday, or as the mystics say, Moon-Day.
Good morning everyone!
Do you have something placed on the 29/30 degree of Cancer? This is the very last degree in Cancer, right on the cusp of Leo. I have the trans-Neptunian dwarf planet, Orcus there, I know my brother has Jupiter there, and I’m sure a lot of other people have placements there as well.
The Sabian Symbol for Cancer 29/30 reads: “A Daughter of the American Revolution,” and according to the seers of the Sabian mysteries, this is tied to respect for tradition.
Yesterday, I used several books in my possession for reference in order to come up with a view of what this degree is all about.
So, the 29/30 degree of Cancer is in the last decan of the sign. Since signs are 30 degrees, astrologers broke them down into decans, which is three groups of 10 degrees. Each decan has it’s own description, unique field of energy, and sign ruler.
According to my good friend, Bernie Ashman, the last decan of Cancer is between the dates 7/12 and 7/21, and this is important because it gives us a time frame, or a time of the year, which helps to create an image in our minds we can attach to the degree. So, we’re obviously dealing with the summer time here in the northern hemisphere. Imagine a warm summer day with the sun glaring off the surface of a vast ocean.
Pisces is the ruler of this 3rd zone, the energy field is mutable, and the related signs are Cancer and Pisces. Cancer and Pisces translates to “fueled by causes.”
So, according to Ashman, the 29/30 degree of Cancer is tied to causes. This is super interesting.
Why?
Because according to astrologer, Woolfolk, the 29/30 degree of Cancer is connected to the ancient constellation, Argo Navis. Mythology tells us Argo Navis was the magical ship of adventure, and it was placed in the heavens by Poseidon to help guide sailors traveling the southern seas.
We now have a degree fueled by causes that’s connected the magical ship of adventure, Argo Navis. This connects us directly to the Movie, Jason and the Argonauts (Argo/Argonauts). Jason choses 50 men, the Argonauts, who assist him on his journey to find the Golden Fleece.
For a better understanding of this degree and the placements you have there, it would be helpful to watch this awesome movie.
At the end of the day, the 29/30 degree of Cancer, if we have placements there, can create this heightened sense of purpose. It could have us feeling as Ashman accurately described, fueled by causes. And consider the Sabian Symbol, “A daughter of the American Revolution.” Breaking away from Britain and claiming independence was a cause felt by the people living in the North American Colonies at that time in the 1700s.
Because Cancer is naturally a 4th house sign, and the 4th house governs our home, we all, in a sense, are faced with a journey and fueled by a cause because at some point, we all have to grow up and leave our parents. In order to become independent and create our own lives, we have to leave the home we grew up in.
I hope this helps deepen your understanding of the 29/30 degree of Cancer. I can go deeper and get more in depth for those who are advanced in the field of astrology, but as far a basic understanding is concerned, I think this is appropriate.
Have a great day everyone!

I was watching an episode of Rick and Morty last night. It was the purge episode when Rick decides to hover over a planet where the civilization was in the middle of their annual night of free-for-all murdering.
While I was looking at his ship, I had this idea. Let’s say there’s life beyond earth. Let’s say there’s a whole bunch of civilizations unique in their way.
The idea came to me that traveling to see these other civilizations, who are our neighbors in a sense, doesn’t happen the way we’re trained to think it does. Humans getting in a spaceship and flying to another planet is not how it happens.
I’ve said before that earth is a terrestrial plane, and where did I get that from?
Well, look at the word. PLANET or PLANE T= Terrestrial PLANE.
Okay, so, Plane T or our terrestrial plane is surrounded and protected by an atmosphere and perhaps space.
With the right aircraft, flying at the right height, at the right angle, and with the proper technology, what if we could penetrate and go beyond our atmosphere and its protective layers to that of our neighbors?
What if extraterrestrial civilizations were living right next to us on their own Planes of existence just beyond the protective insulating layers of our atmosphere? That’s seems possible to me.

Dear friends and followers, welcome to this summer kickoff edition of Moon Scope, and thank you for visiting NB!
The current moon cycle began on June 18th with a brand-new moon in the astrological sign Cancer. We’re now four days in, and tonight, pending clear skies, we should see a beautiful waxing crescent illuminated 19% in the sign of Leo.
The nights of the waxing crescent, which are the first seven nights of the new moon phase, is a time of new energy. It’s an exciting energy, and we’re supposed to be active.
The crescent moon symbolism, along with the spear, bow and arrows, the torch, and the lyre have all been attributed to Artemis, the ancient Greek Goddess of the hunt, the wilderness, wild animals, sudden death, and childbirth.
In general, the Moon represents a feminine energy; it’s receptive, reactive, and responsive. The moon also represents the subconscious. In our astrology charts, the moon can represent female figures, like your mother or your wife.
In the fixed fire sign of Leo, we find the emotional power and energy needed to set ablaze an otherwise passive moon. Fixed signs are known to be a bit stubborn, and there’s nothing wrong with that as long as we’re not intolerant, boastful, or pretentious.
Subconsciously, thoughts of having children may have been circulating, or perhaps, you’ve been feeling the urge to get started with a new creative project. All of that will surface now, and during the crescent phase, the time is perfect to finally get the wheels turning and move towards drafting or planning. We are taking thoughts or ideas from deep within us and using Leo’s fire to bring them to life.
Leo is always theatrical and loves being noticed, so, however you respond now, you’re sure to catch the eyes of others. Discern between those that can be of help and move you in the proper direction, and those that are a hindrance or just plain old jealous.
Leo rules the 5th House, a house that governs short-term pleasures. There’s nothing wrong with trying new things. I mean, how else are we going to find our heart’s desire or what we truly enjoy? As long as you know when to let certain short-term pleasures go so they don’t become habits, it’s all good.
Whatever you create now will be near and dear to your heart because Leo’s ruler, the Sun, is in the sign of the protector, Cancer. This is serious stuff, and you’ll want to keep an eye on it.
On a lighter note, it’s Thursday; one more day and the weekend will be here. Go out and enjoy yourself tonight. Add hints of yellow and orange to your attire! Hey, it’s the Leo way!
Leo rules the heart, back, and spine, and if you’re experiencing issues with any of those body parts, it might be time to get looked at.
As always, have a blessed evening, and thank you for visiting Nooz Buffet!
I don’t care what the Federal Government says about this new “holiday,” I don’t care about the narrative those in power are pushing on the future children of this country, and I don’t care about what the educators in the public education system teach; I’m going to tell you the truth about June 19th.
The new American holiday celebrated on June 19th, was born out of 6 months of domestic terrorism. Our leaders allowed extreme left, Anti-American groups like Antifa and Black Lives Matter the freedom to run wild, murder, assault, loot, and burn this country.
Using the murder of George Floyd as the excuse, Juneteenth was born out of six months of domestic terrorism and hate towards this country that eventually led to the removal of our historical monuments and statues.
Don’t let anyone put Juneteenth in the same category as Martin Luther King day, I’m starting to hear that now. I hear people saying, “It’s all the same shit.”
No, it isn’t.
MLK was a man of peace, who preached quiet, non-violent resistance to expose his enemies. MLK didn’t preach violence.
And as far as the history of our country is concerned, it’s not healthy for an individual to sweep their past under a rug, or cast it into darkness, therefore, it’s not healthy for America to do that either.
The colonization of the north American continent began in the 1500’s. Britain and France began bringing slaves to the colonies in the 1500’s. The Founding Father’s of America claimed independence in 1776, and immediately got to work on resolving the slave issue, an issue they didn’t start. It’s a shame that our Founders had their reputations and legacies destroyed because the real history of this country was never taught.
Do your own research, and break through these narratives that are meant to prevent growth and slow the release of truth.
When I was in the third grade, my parents bought me a brand new sweat suit for gym class. It was a matching suit, top and bottom, in the school’s color, golden yellow!
I sat down at my desk, and the school day began. There was a girl who sat next to me, and she looked over and laughed at me in my brand-new bright yellow sweat suit. Then, from her seat at her desk, she extended her foot and began wiping the bottom of her sneakers on the legs of my brand-new golden yellow sweat pants.
The jealousy, and the envy directed towards a person starts at a very young age, and even though you might not be aware of it, it probably still continues today.
I was just listening to the story of Joseph, son of Jacob. He was a dreamer, and in his innocence, he was excited to share his dreams with his family members. His family was so jealous, they wanted to kill him for it.
I used to share a lot of personal things, but listen to this;
The only thing I didn’t share came to fruition. I didn’t tell anyone about my books, Smorgasbord 1 and Smorgasbord 2, until I was done writing them and they were submitted for publication.
Our world is filled with envy and jealousy, and just the negative energy alone directed at you by them is enough to prevent or make something you want to accomplish very difficult.
You might share something with someone because you’re excited, but they don’t share that excitement with you. As a matter of fact, they not only hope you fail in your endeavors, but they curse you as well.
After sharing, you walk away, and behind your back they say, “Ah, screw her. Whatever. Stupid ass wants to be a singer, she can’t sing.”
We live in a universe where the laws of attraction come from high up. The law of attraction is one of the natural laws of the land. Our thoughts can be manifested into the physical, and the secret is that you can achieve anything if you really believe you can.
Keep your dreams to yourself, keep your plans to yourself, and keep your aspirations and ambitions to yourself. Believe in yourself, and pray for guidance and protection and watch whatever you want become a reality.
Yesterday, I posted a video sharing something shown to me by a higher power. It was the correlations between information and pictures from a book titled, Alchemy and Mysticism, written by Alexander Roob, and the planetary alignments in my astrological birth chart.
I showed and explained the scenario on the ascendant; Cancer and Leo were the two signs on the left side of my chart, and the ascendant at 1 degree 43 minutes basically split the two signs perfectly. Just about the horizon, or the ascendant line, was Orcus at 29 degrees 47 minutes in Cancer in the 12th House.
I was so excited to share that whole situation in which Orcus, was the one thing produced from two, and the two being sol and Luna, that I forgot to share something important about Orcus.
We all know the ascendant marks the eastern horizon. Whatever sign your ascendant is in is known as your rising sign, and any planet conjunct the ascendant would be considered important because they’re rising at the time of your birth.
This is a picture of my chart, and you can see Orcus on the left just above the ascendant line.
Lots of people have planets near their ascendant lines, and as a matter of fact, my brother, who’s eleven months older than I am, has Jupiter at the exact location, in the exact same sign and house.
It’s pretty crazy. Our charts are basically the same as far as sign in house placement goes. His ascendant descendant axis is 0 degree 23 minutes Leo/Aquarius, and his MC/IC is 15 degrees Aries/Libra (mine is 17 degrees).
So, lots of people have planets near their ascendant, but what makes this Orcus placement so interesting can be seen in the picture below.
This picture is from the book I just mentioned, and it’s the same book where the other pictures were taken from. So, if you look to the left of this picture where the ascendant would be in an astrological chart, you’ll see the word ORTUS!
As unbelievable as it is, Orcus, the name of the planet, is derived from the Latin word Ortus.
According to Wiktionary, Ortus is defined as: 1. Having risen, of the sun or of the day, having risen, having dawned. 2. Appeared 3. Originated 4. Of living creatures, coming into existence, being born.
We can sit here and conclude that all of this is coincidental and meaningless, but at this point, I feel like doing that would be looking for reasons to not face the truth.
