Mercury in Sagittarius

November 18, 2024

Good morning. Yes, it’s Monday, and most of us are back at work. Thanksgiving Day is next Thursday on the 28th, so, we’re less than two weeks away.

Earlier this morning, at approximately 4:51, the planet Mercury was on the 18th degree of Sagittarius in the Second House. When is comes to communication, we are no longer content with the mundane. We want to talk about the topics that interest us and the topics that are normally off-limits.

In addition to that, as we grow older and our mind develops, we find that we are capable of not just reading certain new material, but understanding it as well. We can now wrap our brains around subjects that at one time, made no sense to us. These are the subjects that interest us, that we’re passionate about, and we’ll do whatever we can to put ourselves in the company of people who are capable of exchanging ideas.

It’s nice to talk about the weather and the football game, but sometimes, some of us, need more. We need and require mental stimulation, and the weather report just isn’t doing it. Sagittarius is the sign of exploration that seeks new challenges, and mentally, that’s where we are.

Saturn and Neptune were in Pisces in the Fifth House. Some of us could finally be feeling restrictions and limitations in the Fifth House of Fun. The Fifth House deals with fun and short-term pleasure, creativity, and sex. We did things in our twenties that we cannot get away with in our thirties and forties.

Experimentation with drugs and alcohol usually occurs in our early twenties, which is also when most cases of addiction begin because we’re no longer under parental supervision, and we’re making our own money and choices. Having sex, possibly unprotected, with everyone and anyone, and spending money we don’t have-Saturn is pulling the rope back in now. Saturn is reminding us that we do have a future.

Order, routine and structure in our lives can help us build and prepare for that future.

Squares connecting Mercury in the Second House to Neptune and Saturn in the Fifth House are creating tension, but that tension is helping us see the serious side of things. Speaking and communicating can be done in a fun way, but the drawback to that is that no one is going to take us seriously.

We’re dealing with jealousy, and we’re dealing with a system that wants to hold on to old ideas and concepts for as long as it possibly can. The closer you get to a breakthrough, a new idea, or changing the perceptions that people have, the more you’ll be scrutinized.

If you want to be taken seriously, then you’re going to have to first clean up your act when it comes to what you’re putting in your body. And second, stick to the topics that you’re either familiar with or have personally experienced, or those you’ve studied and researched thoroughly.

The polarity between the Fifth House and the Eleventh House reveals to us, that there’s a time to play, and a time for seriousness. The pleasures of the Fifth House are not the long-term pleasures of the Eleventh, and so, we must mature.

With Mercury in the Second House, it’s important for us to ground all forms of communication now. If you don’t know what you’re talking about, or you’re not in the right frame of mind, then refrain from speaking. Wait until you’re calmer. Wait until you’ve done some research.

Sometimes, it’s better to not say anything at all.

Moon Scope

October 23, 2024 Edition

Friends and Followers, good afternoon! 

Thank you for visiting N.B., and welcome to the October 23rd edition of Moon Scope.

This has been an interesting lunar cycle right from the beginning, with the new moon occurring in Libra on October 2nd. 

As far as relationships and seventh house matters are concerned, we were given a fresh start to either “clean house” or continue building.

Then we had an amazingly beautiful full moon in Aries on the 17th, which delivered insights and revelations on how to move forward with newfound courage.

Early morning of 10/17
Night of 10/17

Those were two pictures taken with my cell phone camera!  I can’t even believe it. 

So, the new lunar cycle that began on the 2nd reached culmination on the 17th and will begin anew on November 1st.

Not only did we pretty much get the entire month of October in this cycle, but we’re also getting Halloween as well before it begins anew on All Saints Day (November 1st). 

How’s that for timing? 

Growing up as a Roman Catholic, All Saints Day was the name given to the November 1st event, which was about the celebration and recognition of the Saints, but that same day is celebrated under many different names depending on your faith or religion.

At the start of the new lunar cycle, in the astrological sign of Scorpio, we find ourselves in deep dark waters. 

Naturally, Scorpio rules the Eighth House, and the Eighth House deals with property, other people’s money, legacies and wills, taxes, and death and rebirth.

Scorpio is fixed, passionate, and quite idealistic, so there could be some tension when it comes to shared resources. 

On the flip side of that, this might be a time to wipe the slate clean and reach some type of agreement.  Scorpio, for sure, represents the beginnings and ends of phases in life.

Scorpio’s symbol, in ancient times, was used to represent the Phoenix, a bird associated with regeneration and rising out of the ashes of death.

It will be the perfect time (10/29-11/1) to start giving some thought to Eighth House issues.

If you’re living in someone else’s home, and things aren’t going well, maybe it’s time to move.

If you owe money, it might be a good time to start making plans for repayment.

How can you increase your income? 

When it comes to property belonging to other people, there will always be issues. 

You can never truly experience independence until you have your own things.

Think about the timing and the unfoldment of this whole situation.  Relationships were under the microscope at the last new moon, and now it’s property and money belonging to other people.

If you made the decision to stand on your own two feet, you’ll now be required to take it a step further and examine the resources that were shared, with the aim of reaching self-reliance. 

It’s synchronistic, and it’s a rebirth in every sense.

Scorpio is also a very sexual sign.  Pregnancy issues could arise, and they could be planned or unplanned. 

Protect yourself if you’re not ready to be a parent, but you should be protecting yourself anyway from diseases and infections.

On that note, I would like to wish everyone a safe and happy Halloween! 

I hope you get all the candy you want.

Have fun and make great memories.

100% Illumination

Thursday, October 17, 2024

This current lunar cycle began on October 2nd in the astrological sign, Libra. 

Tonight, the cycle culminates in the sign of the Ram, Aries.

Look how gorgeous this Moon is!  I took this photo with the camera on my cellphone, and I must say, it’s not bad at all.

Seventh house issues were front and center at the beginning of the month, and all of sudden, we began thinking about the people in our lives.  Our time and our energy are important, and aggravation and stress can make us sick.

With that in mind, we decided to make a real effort.  We wanted sincere and meaningful relationships, and you know what?  We deserve that.

There’s nothing wrong with drawing lines and setting boundaries, and when you began doing that, you indirectly made a decision to put yourself first.  Some people didn’t like that.  Oh, well.

In Aries, the first sign of the zodiac,  this big beautiful Moon wears a great big smile, and our efforts haven’t gone unnoticed. 

Aries represents a fresh start, and the full moon will drop hints on how we should now move forward. 

It’s going to take the spirit of a pioneer and courage from now because we decided to stop getting along just to go along.

We took a stand, and now, the spotlight is on us.  That’s okay.  In the long run, we’ll be better off.

Getting rid of people who don’t have our best interest in mind opens the door for the people who do.

They’ll enter, and as October comes to an end and we get into the holiday season, you’ll see this current lunar marked the beginning of something wonderful. 

Astrological Interception

October 14, 2024

I read that an interception in the natal chart represents some type of skill or an ability that we abused in a previous life.

By abused, I mean, we had a tremendous ability, but we used it in a not-so-good way, so it’s off limits to us in this life.

I have an interception of my own, which is Gemini in the eleventh and Sagittarius in the fifth, so, after considering that and reading an interview with Cal Garrison last week, who actually has the same signs intercepted only hers are in the twelfth and sixth, I have a different belief about what the interception represents.

After analyzing a chart for a client recently, who had an interception involving Pisces in the eleventh house, and Virgo in the fifth, I truly believe that interceptions are tied in to and heavily related to the nodal axis, Chiron, and karmic lessons.

I found that after studying the nodal axis and the interception, I was able to check my results by researching her Chiron placement (sign and house).  And this happened accidentally. 

I actually skipped the interpretation of Chiron, and when I went back to include it in my reading, I realized all the information Chiron’s placement revealed, I had already covered.

Wow, I said to myself.  Interesting! 

So, from what I know now, I can say with confidence that we absolutely do have access to intercepted energy, although sometimes, part of it could be delayed.

Here’s a great example of what I mean.  The client with Pisces in the eleventh house and Virgo in the fifth had an interesting dynamic.

The eleventh house is a future house, and the fifth house deals with the short-term, and some would say it represents the ongoing now moment.

Virgo is the sign of consciousness, so this particular situation with two different energies locked in their own houses revealed a situation where the Pisces end of that polarity was being delayed. 

The eleventh house also represents the special gift we’re given in this life.  Through Pisces in the eleventh, her gift was compassion, but her reception of that gift was being divinely delayed until her consciousness developed (Virgo fifth house).

Once her consciousness develops to a level where she could see herself objectively, hold herself accountable, and take responsibility for her own actions, it would open the door to the eleventh house and release her special gift.

The Gods want to make sure this person is sincere and genuine first because a lot of harm can be done by someone who’s pretending to be compassionate just to get what they want.

In addition to delayed energy, the interception represents an ongoing balance of polarities that a person may or may not be aware of. 

It’s really about a lesson that we are destined to learn in this life no matter what.  That’s right, destiny is involved here, and the interceptions are known to create predictable patterns of synchronicities. 

For example, a person might keep finding themselves in a situation that seems to keep happening to them.  This will occur to the point that the individual knows it’s coming. 

When this happens, it means we’re resisting something, but believe you me, one way or another, they’re going learn, and their destiny path will unfold.

So, yeah, interceptions are tied into healing and karma, and the energy involved is actually an important part of this lifetime.

Have a blessed Moon-Day!

Today’s Forecast

Tuesday, October 8, 2024

Numerologically speaking, today’s date, when added, equals 26.  Two and six can be added to make 8.  So, it’s day number 8, which means we’re just about at the end of our 9-day, day cycle.

This morning, at approximately 8:40, Scorpio was the sign on the ascendant.  It’s a day for reminiscing.  Talk with family, friends, and neighbors about the memories that bond you.

While it’s not the best idea to live in our past, we know that it’s often the memories we share that keep communities and groups together.

The morning sun sits seventeen degrees above the horizon on the 15th degree of Libra in the twelfth house.

A trip down memory lane could stir up old feelings, some good and some bad.  Keep in mind that you’re a completely different person right now today than you were at any point in your past.

With Libra in the twelfth house, unbiased justice is served.  Partnerships will form, and some will deteriorate depending on how  members have been treating one another.  If it was built on lies and insincerity, it won’t last.

At the end of the day, love wins out, and the universe brings everything back into balance.

The midheaven on the 9th degree of Leo reveals a greater plan that’s driving karmic issues in the twelfth house.

Passion and commitment are required to create something of beauty and inspiration.   And, that my friends, requires a unified group working together to reach a common goal..

Or one person who’s passionately driven and self-motivated to do great things.

In the second house of money and personal possessions, the Moon in Sagittarius is 60° away from the Sun.

It’s a sextile showing opportunity.  Whatever transpires in the twelfth today seems to work in our favor.

Thoughts pertaining to money and possessions have been driving subconscious thoughts, but your prayers are finally answered. 

Try not to get too excited! 

Enjoy the day.  Lucky numbers are 2 and 4.

New Moon, Two Days Old

Friday, October 4, 2024

Hello everyone!  Today is Friday, and we’re now two days in on this current moon phase that began Wednesday when the new moon was in Libra.

Libra is cardinal air, and even though cardinal signs are open to change, they’re really not about sitting back and absorbing what’s going on around them.

As we use our intelligence to create the environment that best fits what we desire, ideas and thoughts pertaining to harmony begin to rise up from the deep.  In addition to that, desire and personal passions take front and center.

At this moment, we’re now dealing with Libra and Scorpio because this morning at 8:53, the moon was on that cusp on the zero degree of Scorpio in the 12th House.

Being in control of your life means taking responsibility, and as the moon leaves Libra and enters Scorpio, the focus turns from our relationships with other people to ourselves.

Over the next several days, the moon is giving us a chance to reflect on ourselves, our lives, and our behavior.

The 12th House is the last house of the wheel, so at the end of the day, which is really the beginning of this new phase, we find ourselves in the best and most favorable position.

Scorpio is the sign of death and rebirth! 

Moving forward, the plan will be to remain focused on the things you desire while beginning something you’re totally passionate about.  This is about your authentic self. 

Since Scorpio is covering part of the 1st House as well, there’s an opportunity to change the way the public sees you.

You want to be taken seriously, and they will take you seriously once they see how serious you are about the attainment of your desires and the pursuits of your passions.

The 12th House is about the law of cause and affect.  This is where we receive either the rewards or the punishments for our actions and decisions. 

Right now, we’re being rewarded, and in order to maximize these rewards, we must remain focused, move with purpose, and ignore the ignorance around us. 

The dark side of Scorpio is filled with jealousy, manipulation, and secrets, but we’re on the destiny path. 

Institutions are highlighted now.  Places like old age homes, hospitals, rehabilitation centers, and prisons could play a part in what’s going on right now in your life.

Grand Water Trine Sets Mood

Sunday, September 29, 2024

Astrological Reading for this afternoon at 1:00 PM Eastern Time.

Good afternoon, beloved.  Sagittarius, the mutable fire sign of freedom, is the sign on the ascendant.  On the 19th degree, we’re reminded about discipline and sacrifice.  When circumstances are no longer profitable,  it might be necessary to relocate. 

As we go into a mode of reflection, reestablishing ourselves in a new environment makes perfect sense.  As humans, we find ways to cope and succeed, especially when it comes to the future and our children.

Sacrifices may have to be made at this time, but it’s a good thing we have the mutable energy of Sagittarius.  Remain open to new ideas, people, and places.

There’s an intense Grand Water Trine connecting Mars in Cancer in the 7th House, Venus in Scorpio in the 11th House, and Saturn in Pisces in the 3rd House.

There could be problems in relationships right now.  When it comes to marriages and partnerships of any kind, loyalty can be an issue.

I also see arguments and fights out of jealousy.  Whenever the dark side of Scorpio is involved, there’s always the potential for runaway passion.

Conflicts are fueled by secrets and jealousy, but a favorable Saturn knows how to keep a limit on things.

As the rough waters subside, and the fighting in the 7th House cools down, Venus reminds us that our intent is sincere.  We have a genuine love when it comes to our dreams and hopes, and we truly care about where our future is headed.

With Cardinal Cancer in the 7th House, I see individuals finding themselves through relationships.  They always say that when one door closes, another one opens up for you.

You’ve had enough of insecurity and close-mindedness.  These two qualities will now be enough to force you out of a relationship that has been preventing your growth.

Moon/Jupiter Sextile; A Journey for Prosperity

Saturday, September 28, 2024

I was in the park last night after dark when I saw this little baby frog.

Bobby Froggie

I named him Bobby.  Seeing a frog happens to be a good omen, and it could mean renewal, vitality, and good fortune.

Currently Astrology Reading

At approximately 10 o’clock AM Eastern time, Jupiter in Gemini in the 8th House was in sextile with the Moon in Leo in the 9th House.

There’s an old saying; “Nothing worth having is easily attainable.”

On the surface, things appear to be cool and calm, but a greater truth dwells in the subconscious. 

Either we’re truly unaware of what needs to be done, or we’re purposely putting it off for comfort and  convenience, but the truth is that a big-time effort is required from us at this time.

With Jupiter in the 8th House, abundance and prosperity can be ours if we’re willing to go that extra mile.

The 8th House deals with wills and legacies, rebirth, taxes, and other people’s money! 

The fixed nature of Leo is giving us the confidence to rely on what we already know, while the emotional fire of Leo is motivating us to be expansive and go after what we want.

There is no immediate turnover in cash right now, although there could be, however, what I’m seeing is an opportunity to bring in large sums of money at a later date when this journey is over.

This is a good time to go back to school for a certification or a degree.  Also, if money is involved, this would be the time to go over paperwork and do some research.

The 9th House also indicates an opportunity for international travel or experiences involving people from another country.  Perhaps it’s an internet based business reaching a new audience on the other side of the world.

Now is not the time to give up.  Keep going, put the effort and the work in, and make the journey.

Several years from now, you’ll be happy you did.

Remember, the timing of the Moon is important.  The Moon is still waning, and tonight in Leo, it will be a Cresent lit at 16%. 

Prepare now for the new moon that’s coming up on October 2nd.  A new Moon phase beginning in Libra promises us the balance and harmony we’ve been waiting a long time for. 

It might take some time, and I know it’s going to take effort, but like Bobby Froggie, if we keep leaping towards our destination, we’ll reach it eventually.

Uranus in Opposition to Itself

Monday, September 23, 2024

When you look at your natal chart, you’ll notice the planet Uranus.  It will be on a specific degree in a specific sign, and in a specific house.

It takes Uranus 84 years to make one rotation around the Sun, but in 42 years, Uranus will move halfway around the zodiac wheel and align directly opposite from where it was when you were born.

For us humans, the time frame between the ages of 42 to 44 is marked by an emotional crisis that’s awakened by Uranus.

This is the “Uranus Opposition.”

As an astrologer, I can help you find your way through this emotional turmoil by locating and analyzing your planetary alignments. 

This will give you a crystal clear picture revealing the root of the crises itself, but more importantly, by identifying the root of the problem, the process of working towards a solution can begin.

Spiritual and Holistic Expo

Monday, September 23, 2024

Good morning, everyone!  I hope you’re all off to a great start for this week. 

The fall season has officially arrived as the equinox was yesterday.

Nooz Buffet celebrates its 6th year on internet today, and I just wrapped up a busy two-day weekend at the Holistic and Spiritual Expo in Allentown.

It was a wonderful weekend.  I’m happy to have been a part of it.  I met some great people, and I established some friendships that I hope last. 

I would like to thank everyone who had a reading done, and if you have any questions regarding your charts or would like for me to go deeper into your reading, please email me.

I love and appreciate all of you.  Thank you again.
