Blue Moon Scope

August 30, 2023 Edition

Friends, Fans, and Followers..

Thank you for visiting N.B. and welcome to the August 30, 2023 edition of Moon Scope.

Wow, so, there’s a lot going on with this lunar cycle, but we’ll start with the Blue Moon. There was a phrase people used to say, and I can remember my grandmother specifically saying it. Instead of saying, once in a while, she would say, “Once in a blue moon.” It was another way of saying something barely happens, or rarely happens.

As far as astrology or astronomy is concerned, a blue moon is the second full moon in a month. It’s rare that we have two full moons in the same month, and it won’t be until May of 2026 that it will happen again.

Is it really rare though?

Well, our calendar, which is also called the Julian calendar, is based on the solar cycle (365.25 days per year). We have 12 months, and each month typically has one new moon and one full moon, so, it’s rare and kind of a big deal when that extra full moon shows up. However, a lunar calendar has 13 months, so naturally, it’s accounted for.

Anyways, the Moon won’t be turning blue tomorrow night.

If you remember, this moon cycle began in Leo on the 16th of this month. I published a post titled, Dear God, I wrote it on the night of the new moon, and if you want, you can go back and read it.

The current moon cycle culminates tomorrow night in Pisces-a blue full moon in Pisces. The Moon represents the subconscious mind, and since it’s in Pisces, we could experience thoughts pertaining to mental institutions, prisons, rehab centers, and karmic justice.

The new moon in Leo gave us a fresh start and an opportunity to create a new life for ourselves, and if you took advantage of that energy, this culmination should provide some major revelations. As much as it hurts, we sometimes need to let go. Perhaps, we tried to kick a bad habit ourselves, and it didn’t work. So, you come to grips with the reality of your situation and respond with, “I tried. I need help, and I’m going into a rehabilitation facility.”

Maybe there’s someone in your family, or a friend of yours who’s a habitual law breaker. He/she might be a criminal, and you as the parent or the close friend, have been downplaying their situation and covering for that person. Sometimes, it’s the loss of freedom that wakes people up to turn their lives around.

Pisces is the natural ruler of the 12th House, and the 12th House is full of mystery. It’s the end of the road (wheel) and it deals with issues involving karma, the law of return, and cause and effect.

Here’s a great example. I caught chickenpox when I was in kindergarten. Now, here I am, it’s almost 40 years later and I just had an outbreak of shingles last week. I had know idea shingles lies dormant in your body once you catch chickenpox. It’s cause and affect. Anyway, I’m feeling better, kind of, but that’s a great example.

Intuition and spirituality are definitely highlighted now because the sign is Pisces and Pisces is a water sign. Pisces is also mutable, which means we are going to be more open minded and more receptive than usual.

Suddenly, we gain the ability of being molded by the energy of our environment, if that’s what we chose to do. As the saying goes, when in Rome, do as the Romans do. It’s not a time for confrontation or conflict. Ride the waves and let your intuition guide the way forward.

2 and 6 are the luck numbers.

Breaking News! Soul Alignment

I wrote about this briefly on Twitter last month, but it’s still going on, so, I’m going to share it with all of you.

The picture to the right is from Chiron, a book written by Barbara Hand Clow. If you look at the top of this pyramid, you’ll see the outer planets capping off the soul level of human maturation or development. Neptune is in the middle, Pluto is to the right, and Uranus on the left. This is the peak of human consciousness.

The picture below is the current astrological alignment represented in the Chart of the Moment given to us by Astro dot com.

I rotated this image so you could see what’s staring us all in the face. You can see Neptune in Pisces at the top of the triangle, Pluto is to the right in Capricorn, and Uranus is to the right in Taurus. So, this alignment, represents the peak of human consciousness, and it’s the outer planets capping off the soul level of human maturation development.

Some of us will see it immediately, and some of us will have to stare at the image for a bit, but eventually, what should appear to you (if you’re ready to see it) is a 3-dimensional triangle with the energetic aspect lines connecting the planets shooting into the triangle, representing the crown, or top of our heads, and down to Mercury and Mars in Virgo and Libra.

Can you see that?

It’s a great time to meditate, and it should be a great time to heal and ask for answers to questions that we normally wouldn’t receive. Notice how Mercury and Mars are at the bottom, which definitely puts them in opposition to Neptune.

Are we being asked to chose between our violent warring selves and our spiritual development or higher selves? I think so, because we’re way overdue for this change. Clow wrote about this in her book, Mayan Code.

The picture on the right is from her book, Mayan Code, and it shows that our evolutionary genetic strain for aggressive man went into extinction in 2011! The “Peaceful Man” is what’s going to survive on. This is why there’s so much manipulation behind war and fighting, it’s always fueled by something, and that’s because as a species, we’ve moved beyond violence. If you’re like me, and you just can’t be around certain people anymore, or certain attitudes, or certain behavior, don’t fight it. Don’t be afraid to let go and follow the guidance.

Wow, I guess Alister Crowley (featured image) doesn’t look so ridiculous now does he?

I got that picture from:

Good Evening

Tonight, I just felt like typing, about nothing in particular.

I hope you enjoyed, “Where’s the Rest of it.” I don’t write much short story fiction because I’ve been so immersed in astrology, but I think at some point I’ll get back into story telling.

I’ve also been working on my fourth book, which is still untitled. I don’t know what I’m going to call it, but it’s definitely going to be a contribution to astrology. Currently, I’m working on a chapter that’s about goddesses, and seriously, when it comes to understanding the planetary gods and goddesses in our charts, nothing can be more helpful than studying mythology.

I’d say, probably for the last two years, I’ve been delving (I can’t stand that word-delving), but when it comes to mythology, that’s what I’ve been doing-delving into it.

And, as far as the internet goes, Wikipedia is great to reference for a snapshot of something, but when you’re ready to get real about things, you must hit the books.

There’s so much out here too in terms of information, and every author has his/her own style of how they approach their respective subjects, but I’ve been reading Greek Gods, Human Lives, written by Mary Lefkowitz.

Photo by Mehmet Turgut Kirkgoz on Pexels.com

As a matter of fact, I just reached out to her through email, to tell her how happy I am with her book, and boy oh boy is it a good one.

So, I researched Juno, the Roman Goddess, on Wikipedia, and Wikipedia gives you lots of information, but it’s missing something, and that something is what you get out of the texts. Information online becomes popular opinion after a while because no one bothers to research anymore..

but, in Greek Gods, Human Lives, you’ll learn that Juno was an angry and hateful goddess. She was married to Jupiter, King of the Gods, so that made her Queen of the Gods, but she just had so much hate in her heart because of her attachment to Carthage. And, she persecuted the mortal, Aeneas because she knew his descendants in Italy were eventually going to destroy Carthage, but of course, Aeneas didn’t know that.

She hated him because he was a Trojan, and she made his life very very difficult. She hated Paris for rejecting her beauty, and she hated Ganymede because Jupiter chose him as his lover and made him immortal. I mean, I guess she had a reason to be upset since she was married to Jupiter, but that wasn’t Ganymede’s fault.

So, she just harbored this hate and resentment, and that’s not good because she had the power to make the human condition worse than it was.

Anyway, my point is that when you familiarize yourself with the mythology, you’ll have a whole new perspective when you glance at an astrological chart and see the position of a god or goddess.

Interesting stuff..

Have a good night everyone, and thank you for visiting Nooz Buffet.

That Time of the Year Already?

Sun in Virgo

Astrologically speaking, Mr. Sunshine has officially began his transit of Virgo. I checked several hours ago, and the Sun was on the zero degree of the Starry Maiden. I just love the fall, and a lot of time traveling can be done between September and November, but that my friends, you did not hear from me.

The Sun is our force for life and creation, for without it, life would not exist.

Astronomically, the sun spends 45 days in Virgo, but astrologically, the sun is there for about 30 days. Naturally, the 6th House is Virgo’s domain, and the energy there manifests into the areas of health, wealth, work, and service. Health of of great important here because the 6th House focuses more so on service-those we serve, and those who serve us. Without our health, we’re limited and ultimately, service is affected.

Today, Mercury, the planet of communication, commerce, and the fast mental energy associated with everyday decision making is the ruler of Virgo. Now, there’s some controversy surrounding this, but even so, we’d be doing ourselves a major disservice if we didn’t act like Virgo and gather as much information as we could about Mercury’s identity.

Mercury was a a Roman God in the Roman Pantheon. Mercury incarnated was known as “The Good Shepard,” but Mercury the God, acted as a guide for souls during the afterlife. The God ruled over things like communication and commerce, divination, messages, finance, travelers, luck, and trickery.

As we trace Mercury’s origin, we find that the Greeks called him Hermes, and the Egyptians called him Thoth.

Personally, if the astrological sign of Virgo was given to the Goddess Astraea, I don’t know why Virgo wouldn’t be ruled the asteroid, 5 Astraea, thus, allowing Mercury to become the ruler of only Gemini. Perhaps, I will incorporate Astraea into my readings and see how that works, but, so we’re all on the same page, we’ll continue using Mercury.

Virgo is feminine earth, mutable and sensual. Those who were born when the Sun was in Virgo will display the qualities of Virgo most prominently, but Virgo qualities will also be highly noticeable in the personalities of those who have Virgo on the ascendant.

Virgo is know as the perfectionist, which is why you’ll sometimes hear people call her the technician. It’s a very conscientious sign, and Sun/Virgo people strive to do what’s right. When it comes to work, they are very thorough, but modest and humble. Virgo isn’t the bragging type, she like to let her work speak for itself.

She’s reserved and modest and doesn’t view herself as better.

When I was in school, the school year always began when the Sun was in Virgo, which in hindsight, is interesting because Virgo loves reading and gathering facts, as a matter of fact, the personality type is more of a detective. They love gathering facts to look for truth. The truth is super-important to Virgo. Virgo is well organized and she understands the importance of planning time.

Happy Birthday to all the unique individuals who were born during the sun’s transit of Virgo!

Virgo 8/22-9/21

Nooz Now

August 17, 2023 Edition

Friends, Fans, and Followers, thank you for visiting N.B., and welcome to this August 17, 2023 edition of Nooz Now!

I’m your host,

Francis Joseph LaManna..

📢 I would like to give a big shout out to MEDIOQ, and all the hard working people in Sri Lanka. I just found out Nooz Buffet is on their directory and that’s good nooz! Thank you!

👊 The beef between UFC Superstars Connor McGregor and Michael Chandler is definitely cooking at this point, but Chandler is now questioning McGregor’s sincerity. In an article posted on MMA Junkie, and written by Farah Hannoun, Chandler claims to be ready, but he doesn’t think their fight will take place this year.

Personally, I think it will be a good fight, and after seeing McGregor’s face during his face off with Chandler on their final day of filming the Ultimate Fighter, 🤣 he looks like he wants it.

🌑Last night (8/16/2023), we had a brand-new Moon Cycle begin in the astrological sign of Leo. I posted a Moon Scope for this celestial event, so I won’t get deep into it, but I would like to briefly mention the importance of it. It’s important! 🤣

No, but seriously, the summer is coming to and end soon, there’s 135 days left in the year, August is almost over, and the sun’s visit in Leo is about to end. With all these endings, we get an opportunity to start something new with the new moon cycle, and if we could just get into that lunar flow, you’ll see how much the universe supports our ritualistic nature in things.

🛸 For all of us Rick and Morty fans.. the latest news is that a Season Seven teaser trailer has been released, and this upcoming season will be Rick and Morty’s first without its creator Justin Roiland.

Here’s the thing about this situation that we as people need to keep in perspective; they say we’re all innocent until proven guilty, but it sure as hell doesn’t feel that way. Roiland’s situation is just another example of how a person’s career could be destroyed by accusations. Serious charges were brought against Roiland in 2020, and Adult Swim decided to part ways with him earlier this year.

Roiland plead not guilty, and in March, all charges against him were dropped because of insufficient evidence. So, he’s INNOCENT, but Adult Swim is standing behind their decision to let him go. And, now, you can see how this works, and it’s really not fair.

📖 It always made sense to me that the Great Sphinx was designed or made in the image of Leo the Lion from the constellation Leo, and because the star Regulus, which is the heart of the lion, is located where the lion’s front paw would be, it made sense that the star was an indicator that something important was in that location on the Sphinx.

Here’s what it says Edgar Cayce said about the Hall of Records and the Sphinx:

“Located in a small tomb or pyramid of its own, it lies between the right paw of the Sphinx and the Nile River and is a kind of “time capsule.”

Alright everyone, thanks for visiting. Don’t forget to check out my books and the merchandise we have for sale; the links are at the top of the page.

Disturbing the Peace; Uranus Squares the Sun/Venus Conjunction

This evening’s square between the Sun and Venus conjunction in Leo in the 5th House, and Uranus in Taurus in the 2nd House presents a conflict concerning the enjoyment of love and sexual pleasure as it may distract us from the task at hand.

Uranus in Taurus in the 2nd House signifies a major awakening and possible transformation when it comes to possessions-especially money, but the willful Sun wants things his way as he basks with Venus in the warm beautiful rays of sunshine.

Some of us react differently when the pressure is on and when there’s an emergency. We all know money is important and the majority of us have to get up everyday to earn a paycheck. We get it.

The point here is that sometimes we reach a point when we’ve done all we could do, and the more evolved mind recognizes when certain things are beyond its control. Some people will see the Sun laying with Venus and say, “What’s he doing? Doesn’t he know there’s an urgent call in the second house?”

But, the Sun, in his blissful state of affection is fully aware of his situation and he knows what must be done. He choses not to let certain things bother him.

Some people walk in circles and let the anxiety in their bodies run wild-they stress over things that are beyond their control even though they’ve done everything necessary.

Although Uranus doesn’t see it this way, the Sun’s conjunction with Venus reminds us of the importance to still find time to love and partake in the pleasures of life despite the seriousness of our realities.

Squares, unlike oppositions, can be resolved. When two planets are squared, there’s definitely friction and stress between them, but squares present opportunities for growth. There’s always a lesson involved, and if you can recognize it, common ground can be reached.

If you can imagine, two boxers are in a ring; the referee rings the bell and the two fighters come out of their corners and square off with one another.

Two heavenly bodies are in a conflict, but it doesn’t have to come down to fists being thrown if they can figure out why they’re mad at each other in the first place.

Moon Scope

August 7, 2023 Edition

Welcome to the very first Moon Scope of August, and thank you for visiting Nooz Buffet.

Moon position: 3rd degree, Taurus, 8th House

Moon Phase: Tonight’s Moon will be a waning gibbous with 60% illumination.

There is no connection between the Moon and the Sun as of 8:49 this morning, but the Sun’s position in Leo in the 11th House highlights the future. With Virgo marking the location of the ascendant, Mercury becomes the chart ruler.

Theme: Communications Regarding the Future

With the Moon’s conjunction to the North Node, there’s a concentrated focus on the here and now and the chosen purpose for this lifetime. Both are in the 8th House, and the 8th House governs all issues related to other people’s money, legacies, and transformations through death and rebirth.

🌖As the Moon sits calmly in the sensual and earthly sign of the Bull, she gets a penetrating look at her current purpose (North Node) as it’s related to the self (Aries). With the 8th House ruling other people’s money, and Taurus being the sign that rules money and possessions, we must guard against the trap of comparing ourselves to others.

It’s not a bad thing to see what others have accumulated if that’s what you chose to do, so long as it doesn’t affect the opinion you have of yourself. We all have something special to offer, and the whole purpose of being the best person you can be or becoming the best version of yourself is so that you can maximize the potential within. When you look at it this way, there’s no competition and there’s no comparison-you’re in a league of your own.

But, as the North Node indicates in Aries, this is specifically about you. It’s time to take a look in the mirror and reassess your current situation. Are you doing what you came here to do? Do you have the things you need or want? Are you happy with what you have?

If no is the answer to those questions, there’s good news ahead. The current alignment of the Moon and the North Node in sign and house indicates a fresh start and the beginning of a brand-new cycle related to money and possessions.

The good thing about Taurus is that it bestows dependability and trustworthy-ness, but as a fixed sign, we can also be stubborn and resistant to change-and Taurus is probably the most stubborn of all the fixed signs.

However, with the North Node in Aries, the cardinal quality there should not only open us up to change, but grant us the power to forge ahead and go after what we want.

With Venus, the goddess of love and beauty and the ruler of Taurus in Leo in the 12th House, we gain the insight of knowing our current situation karmically charged.

Right now, all things point to favorable connections concerning love and communications, and a blessing is dropped on us if we decide to restructure our lives in an orderly way.

This is actually quite wonderful because not only are we getting a fresh start with luck in love and communication as indicated by the astrology, but the Moon is also waning down and getting ready to become new again.

Prepare yourself for the New Moon coming up on the 16th of August. There’s a wonderful opportunity ahead.

Lucky numbers are 6,4,1, and 9.

The Myth of Sedna; 1776-2076

https://videopress.com/v/txN3ZauW?resizeToParent=true&cover=true&preloadContent=metadata&useAverageColor=true

The Chart below is from July 5th 1776.

Here’s something so interesting. If we use Make Make for the marker now, it will return to that position in Scorpio not on July 5th in 2076, but on the 18th of March. That’s 3/18 and it will be exactly 3 months and 18 days short of the July 5th mark!

7+5+1+7+7+6= 33! 3=3=6

3+1+8+2+0+7+6=27! 2+7=9

That breaks down to 6 and 9! I will be 96 in 2076!

My brothers birthday is 3/3 and my birthday is 2/7!

That’s 299 years 9 months and 18 days, or 2999918. 2+9+9+9+9+1+8=38!

In 2076 when Sedna completes her orbital period of 11,400 years, it will also mark the completion of Make Make’s 38th trip around the zodiac. That means he made 38 orbits around the zodiac in the amount of time it took Sedna to make 1!

Moon Scope; Fired Up

July 28, 2023

Thank you for visiting N.B., and welcome! In case you’re wondering what Moon Scope means, well, I decided to report on the Moon’s placement twice per month. I try to do post one in the beginning of the month and one at the end, so, instead of it being a horoscope, I decided to call it a Moon Scope.

It’s for no one specifically; it’s just a general reading of the Moon’s placement and the types of energies we can expect.

Three thoughts crossed my brain today, and I want to get those off my head before I begin.

One: If Atlantis really did exist in the Atlantic Ocean, somewhere between South America and Africa, and it did in fact sink under the water, then perhaps the theory about the pole change is correct. The theory is that a pole change can cause a temporary release of gravity-that is, for a brief time, the earth’s magnetic field becomes extremely weak. Well, it’s gravity that’s holding the water to the bottom of the ocean, so, my guess it that Atlantis, like many other places on earth, was exposed as dry land at one time. Edgar Cayce mentioned that Atlantis would rise again, and that could mean another pole shift.

Two: I heard there was an underground tunnel system connecting the African Continent to the western United States. That would explain a lot.

Three and Four: Shout out the Top Notch Idiots for making the run at Area 51! That’s how you give back.

And, why is that no one even mentioned the possibility that JFK’s assassination could’ve had something to do his involvement with Charles Hapgood? President Kennedy met with Hapgood at the White House in October, one month before his assassination, to discuss funding Hapgood was requesting for his mission in the Atlantic Ocean. Hapgood claimed he knew exactly where Atlantis was and he was going to bring proof back. Well, if President Kennedy was killed because of his involvement with this mission, his murder wouldn’t have been the first abrupt death in correlation.

MOON SCOPE

fired up

At precisely 5:21 eastern time, and 2:21 west coast time, the Moon was on the 11th degree of Sagittarius in the 12th House.

Just a reminder, the current moon is a waxing gibbous, and it will be full on August 1st. This means we’re now past the stage of urgent action. This moon is culminating and will be at full illumination in four days-a time of revelation.

In Sagittarius, the sign of the Archer, the subconscious can be fired up, and a normally cool and collected Moon could be a bit emotional now. When the sun sets this evening, and the moon rises, it will be shining a light on the astrological 12th House.

The 12th House is known as the house of karma because it’s the place where we receive our due. We’re likely to be dealing with the punishments and/or rewards for the decisions we’ve made, especially those that fall under the rulership of Sagittarius.

Maybe, things around the house or your job were getting a little intense, and you decided to take a break. So, you went on vacation and left the country. Well, whatever you walked away from is going to be there now that you’re back. It will be time to face the music.

Sagittarius is freedom-loving sign. Sag loves to pick up and go and there’s nothing that bothers him more than obligations and responsibility, but both are a part of life. Some of us have that kind of life where we’re able to pick up and go and indulge in foreign cultures weather it be job related or just for fun, but obligations and responsibilities are the norm.

If you’re thinking about long-distance travel, going back to school, or taking your stance on topics related to spiritual matters, religion and faith, and philosophy, hold your position. Don’t get all fired up and make a decision you’re going to regret later.

The full moon is in three more days, and it’s highly probable that you’ll receive the information you need. Those tiny facts or truths you missed will be revealed at the time of the full moon. Sit tight, and continue researching.

Seek out the people who can help you. Sagittarius is a friendly outgoing sign, and with the moon there, you’re blessed with an open mind and a willingness to try new things.

And, I feel like that’s what this time is about. It’s a time of newness. It’s a time to be open to the people and information that will allow positive changes to take place in your life.

It’s Friday! It’s the summer time! If you’ve been a homebody lately, tonight might be your night. Go out, and have some fun. With a Sagittarius moon, you’re optimistic and adventurous.

On a more serious note, institutions of all kinds fall under the rulership of the 12th House. Hospitals, rehabilitation centers, the court system, and jails are highlighted now. If you are going out tonight, and alcohol is on the menu, be careful and be responsible. I know Sag hates responsibilities, but mistakes are costly.

These are the waters we tread right now.

If you’re battling addiction, the energy favors getting help for that. This Moon in Sagittarius reminds us how much we hate restrictions and being tied down, and there’s no greater ball-and-chain than an addiction to something.

I don’t like mentioning this because it makes a reading way too serious, but the 12th House is the house of secret enemies. Be extra cautious and use some common sense.

Lucky numbers are 5 and 7. If you want to play with the numerology, you can add 5 and 7 and get 12. 12 reduces to 3.

Special Color: Purple-the color of royalty

Thank you for reading this Moon Scope. Have a wonderful night and a blessed weekend.

The Crescent and the Starry Maiden

Last night, I picked up a book I bought and read several years ago, “Who Built the Moon?” It was written by Christopher Knight, and author who wrote another great book that I haven’t read yet, The Hiram Key.

It’s good, and I recommend re-reading certain books you’ve bought because you’ll always find new information you missed. Also, things that didn’t make sense before will begin to make sense the more you revisit the text.

Anyway, lol..

So, my Moon application says the Moon will be in Leo tonight, but the website I visit religiously just showed tonight’s crescent Moon reaching the zero point of Virgo.

A lot of people have a different opinion about the Moon while it’s in Virgo, but personally, I think Virgo is a good spot for the Moon. The Moon will find comfort in the reserved and modest sign of the virgin.

It’s going to be a sensual evening with lots of feel to it. Enjoy it.

In Virgo, the reserved and active Moon will respond inquisitively. Questions concerning why and how will rule this time, especially when it comes to work and self-improvement.

Virgo is the sign of the perfectionist, and the Starry Maiden will dissect facts to find the truth. The truth is important, and I just posted something personal in response to how I’m feeling right now because I just got fired for absolutely no reason, but in that post, there’s a quote from George Orwell.

Without looking at it, it said something like, in a universal time of deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act. That’s true.

Virgo wants to know, and she wants to understand because she wants to make the right decisions. She wants to take “right” action.

Tonight, under a beautiful-vast sky, when the crescent Moon shines bright with intrigue, it will be a good time to gather facts and get the information you need-the information that will allow you to move forward in the direction of your choice.

The crescent Moon highlights action, but just because you’re doing mental work, that doesn’t mean inactivity.

This is a wonderful time, and personally, I don’t know why I’m not drawing the energy I need to me, but that’s not the case for everyone. Jupiter, the planet of expansion, is in Taurus, the sign ruling money and possessions.

If you’ve prepared properly, Jupiter’s transit through Taurus should be a wonderful time for material gains. Draw on the power of the Moon tonight, because that’s exactly what I’m going to do.

I’m going to research, read, plot, gather information, and map out a plan that will guarantee success. Soon, the Sun will be returning home to Leo and new life will be given to what you truly want.

Have a great night!
