December 23, 2025

Hello everyone! Thank you for visiting Nooz Buffet! I know, it’s hard to believe, but it’s that time of the year already. December 21^st was the first day of winter, although it has definitely felt like winter here in the northeastern United States since the beginning of the month, Christmas is tomorrow, and there are six more days until the new year.

The end of the year is such an awesome time, and it’s not solely because I get a two-week vacation. We’re now in our eighth year here at Nooz Buffet, and if you’ve been following us, then you know we take a break during the final week of December and the first week of January. Between the Astrological Analysis and the regular production of article postings, there’s a lot of writing that goes on, so time off is not only necessary to prevent burnout, but it also gives us time to make plans for the new year.

In addition to vacation, the end of the year is awesome because over the years, we’ve established somewhat of a tradition where we recognize our top viewers and pretty much some up the year in terms of statistics. This year, however, I’m going to add one more thing to this final article, which is a short astrology reading for the new year.

Sound good?

Alright, let’s get into it!

Nooz Buffet is a website based in the United States, so naturally, the majority of our views come from inside the United. For the past seven years, I’ve gone internationally-outside our country to rank the top five countries according to views, but this year I would like to do both.

So, let’s start here at home.

1. Oregon
2. Ohio
3. Pennsylvania
4. New York
5. Virginia

1. India
2. United Kingdom
3. Australia
4. Canada
5. Ireland

Thank you everyone for your love and support!

Inside the United States, our top five viewers of 2025 are Oregon, Ohio, Pennsylvania, New York, and Virginia. Thank you, America, and a huge thank you and congratulations to the state of Oregon!

Globally, our top five viewers of 2025 are India, the United Kingdom, Australia, Canada, and Ireland. India actually moved up one spot from #2 to dethrone last year’s winner, Kenya. The United Kingdom also moved up from #3 in 2024 to #2 in 2025, and Canada moved up from #5 in 2024 to #4 in 2025.

Australia is new to our list this year, and the majority of views are coming from Sydney! Thank you, Sydney!

Globally, I would like to thank all of our readers and supporters, and I would like to congratulate India!

Statistically, since the beginning (September 21, 2018), 2022 has always been our best year, but 2025 was an absolute beast. We really haven’t added many new subscribers, but in terms of general traffic, views, visitors, likes, and comments, we crushed 2022 by 60%! That’s unbelievable. Yes, 2025 has been a record year for us, and again, we owe all of that you. Thank you.

In 2025, we posted 146 articles for a total of 97,152 words. That’s an insane amount of production considering my books, Smorgasbord and Smorgasbord 2 were about 40,000 words each. It’s almost like writing two more books, and this doesn’t include the Astrological Analysis.

Since 2018, we’ve posted 1,520 articles for a total of 626,719! 😂🤯 That’s over half a million words! That’s like writing 15 books!

Thank you, again. Your love and support (and sometimes hate😂) is what keeps me going.

I don’t care what religion you belong to, who or what you worship, or where you’re from geographically; I would like to wish everyone, in the United States and around the world, a Merry Christmas and Holiday Season that’s filled with love, laughter, and warmth.

So, let me start this by wishing everyone a safe and happy new year. I really do hope 2026 is good to us.

Numerologically speaking, 2026 is a year of new beginnings and fresh starts. 2 + 0 + 2 + 6 = 10/1. As you can see, if you add the numbers 2, 2, and 6, it equals 10, which can be added and reduced to 1. As 2025 comes to a close, it will truly be the end of many things, so enjoy it, and enjoy the time you have. 2026 holds a vibrational energy that promotes change, personal motivation, creativity and life, and will power.

In terms of endings, please don’t get anxious and don’t worry. There’s a grace period! We just had a new lunar cycle begin on December 19th. So, cyclically, there’s a carryover or an overlap of energy. That new moon will reach culmination on January 3^rd and then turn new again on January 18^th. This grace period actually gives us until the 18th of January to resolve matters and move forward. Once January 18^th arrives, it’s all systems go. Prepare for that.

Astrologically, at precisely 00:02 A.M. on January 1^st, which is two minutes into New Year’s Day, the Sun will be on the tenth degree of Capricorn in the Third House. This position for the Sun as it sits only four degrees away from the IC calls for us to be at peace with ourselves and pure of heart so we’re capable of radiating harmony.

Libra on the ascendant is excellent for socializing, hanging out with friends, significant others, and family members. We feel much better when we’re in the company of others. Don’t be shy.

The midheaven located in Cancer is suggestive of hiding, retreating, and wanting to spend the evening at home cuddled up with someone you love, and while that’s always a wise choice, especially on New Year’s Eve, some of us aren’t single.

On the evening of December 31st, love is in the air. If you’re single, you might meet someone special at a party or a social gathering. Conversations are best if they’re kept light and breezy. Have some fun, and for the evening of New Year’s Eve on December 31^st as we’re heading into the new year, leave the heavy stuff at home.

Often, I’ve heard people say that whatever you’re doing when the new year begins at midnight on the January 1st, is what you’ll be doing for the rest of the year. If you’re enjoying yourself and having fun when the New Year arrives, 2026 will be a good year. If you’re arguing and fighting when the New Year arrives, 2026 will be filled with fighting and arguing.

How true is this?

Well, I don’t know how true that is, but it’s awfully interesting to see Mars and Venus so close to the Sun, which seems to be hinting at a choice between love and war.

Alright, everyone. This is the final post of 2025.

We’ll be back on Thursday, January 8, 2026. Thank you so much for all your love and your support. Truly, you’ve made 2025 a record-breaking year. I appreciate and love you all to the moon and back.

Have a safe New Year celebration.
