Moon Scope

January 25, 2024

Good morning!

This evening, the Moon will be full, culminating in the astrological sign, Leo. Leo is a fixed fire sign, and there is a tendency involved here to become a little overbearing, outspoken, and selfish.

Take some time to think about your words before you decide to speak, and I know that’s easier said than done, but since this moon cycle began in Capricorn, we’re reminded that what comes out of our mouths now during an emotional outburst or moment of venting could be something we regret later.

Leo is a sign of love, creativity, and personal expression. It’s natural home is in the 5th House, which means short-term pleasures are ruled by the heart of the Lion. Spend time with your significant other, loved ones, and friends. Whatever you enjoy during now, or whatever it is that brings you great pleasure, dive on in! Enjoy yourself.

Subconsciously, below the surface, we have thoughts pertaining to personal expression. In some areas of our lives, we’re looking for a breakout. For something, even if it’s just a little appreciation, we want to be recognized and noticed. There’s nothing wrong with that.

You should always mediate on the nights of new and full moons, so it wouldn’t hurt to take a moment to go within. The full moon will bring you all the details you need, so, if you can figure out what it is your seeking recognition for, you can start making plans and preparing for the new moon cycle coming up on the 9th of February.

The Lucky Numbers now are 8, 9, 1, 7.

Full Moon; Creativity & Love Culminating

This Thursday evening, pending clear skies, we should see a big beautiful Moon culminating in the astrological sign of the Lion, Leo.

This current Moon cycle began on January 11th, (111) in Capricorn, and Capricorn is home in the 10th House, the “House of Career and Our Standing With the Public.” The culmination we see and feel now involves the relationship between the manifestations of 10th House energy as they relate to love and creativity.

The Finger of Fate

Apparently, it’s very rare. It has been known as the Finger of God, or the Finger of Fate, and in astrology circles, we call it a Yod. A Yod looks like an isosceles triangle, and it’s formed by three points, or the placements of three planets.

The Yod is what I noticed second. It was really the sextile between Venus and Mars that I was looking at first, so, let’s start with Venus and Mars.

When two planets are 60 degrees apart, the aspect they form is called a sextile. A sextile between Venus and Mars means that both planets are in perfect harmony. And, this is good because Mars is in Libra in the 11th House. Libra is the sign of balance and harmony, and with Mars there we have this energy that’s calling for an active pursuit or an aggressive approach to bringing balance and harmony into our lives.

This is almost like saying we definitely need this right now, and it’s way over due. Mars is giving us the green light or the go ahead to go after whatever is going to bring stability to our lives. And, because the planet and sign are both in the 11th House, we know the future is on the line. This is about getting active so that you’re in the right places to meet the right people-the type of people who can make your dreams and wishes become a reality.

How beautiful it is as well that Mars is in sextile with Venus, because Venus, the planet of love is giving her blessings. She is saying she understands the aggressive action of Mars, and she knows that it’s out of love that he’s doing what needs to be done.

Venus in Leo blends this love energy with the passionate fires of emotion. Venus is calling for the spotlight, and to be the center of attention. She asking that we pursue creative endeavors and building our lives around what truly makes us happy. In the 9th House, there’s definitely travel involved, maybe to a foreign nation. There could also be some type spiritual pursuit or long journey involved. Sometimes, for growth, it’s absolutely necessary for us to step outside of our comforts zones. It’s okay to be noticed. It’s okay for people to see you.

So, this is what’s going on at the base of this triangle, or Yod. Mars and Venus connect to none other than, Neptune in Pisces in the 4th House at the top, and wow! This is major energy here that I feel is calling for a religious retreat, or a spiritual journey almost at the level of a pilgrimage. Wow.

The 4th House is the house governing home, and the 9th House is long journeys and traveling, so, there are two ways of looking at this. I’m seeing either the need to leave the home, to venture out and go after what you need to bring harmony and balance to your home and life, or, this might be the power to have this experience at home.

It could be something involving philosophical pursuits or studying that leads to an almost enlightening experience or connection to one’s higher self. Sometimes we think the 9th House automatically means we have to travel physically, but long journeys could also be spiritual in nature. It could be someone’s journey through graduate school, or maybe a project you’ve been working on for a long time that’s finally starting to unfold or blossom.

As always, the energy is neutral. How you decided to use it determines weather or not it’s perceived as good, but then again, who is anyone to judge us? Follow your heart if it’s possible.

Now, Mars and Venus are in sextile, and because they form this Yod, they’re also both in aspect with Neptune. Venus and Mars are in Quincunx with Neptune. That’s an aspect that’s formed when two planets are 150 degrees apart. There is potential here, and the keyword is expansion.

Moon Scope; It Begins in the Sign of the Lion

August 15, 2023 Edition

Thank you for visiting N.B., and welcome to the August 15, 2023 edition of Moon Scope!

Leo is a creative sign, and it’s the sign of Leadership. There’s a proudness and regal nature about the Lion, and it was said once that Leo would rather be the kingpin of small group than a follower of large one.

The new moon tomorrow brings a fresh start with it, which I feel, is exactly what we need right now. It’s the middle of August, the summer is beginning to wind down, and there’s about 138 days left in the year.

In the grand scheme of things, I think we received all the information necessary at the time of the last full moon, which was on the night of August 1st. In Leo now, the reflective and reactive moon takes in the emotions dealing with love and creativity and leadership.

Let’s not forget that Leo is expansive, that means it covers a lot of space. However the Moon choses to react here, the arena will be open to great distances and heights. That could be the top of the corporate ladder, that could mean starting your own business, or it could mean traveling to new territories. Think expansive, think branching out, and think bigger.

I feel like the mood right now is light hearted and fun, and that’s what the creative in us needs to blossom.

Let’s talk about the Moon for a second. In ancient Greek mythology and religion, Artemis, as the personification of the Moon, was known as the Goddess of the hunt, nature, wild life, and wild animals. In an emotionally charged fire sign like Leo, it wouldn’t be surprising if the sacred feminine in all of us decides to embrace the hunt. It’s a hunt for a better life, a hunt for fun and enjoyment, and a hunt for all the things our lives are lacking right now.

Either way, I don’t think there could be a better sign to have a new moon in at this moment, and we should learn to trust in the divine timing of things.

Thursday, June 22, 2023.

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!

Sunday Morning Apocalypse

This morning, I woke up and looked at myself in the mirror. The symbol on the shirt I was wearing stood out like a sore thumb; it was a picture of horse and underneath it it said Black Horse.

This is the second time my work put me in association with the Black Horse, the first was a street address named Black Horse Lane.

This caused me to look at Revelation 6; there’s a book or scroll in the right hand of God that’s sealed with 7 seals. The first 4 of 7 seals are opened by the Lamb of God, or the Lion of Judah and 4 beings riding horses are summoned.

First Horse: White, crown, conquest

Second Horse: Red, sword, war

Third Horse: Black, scales, famine

Fourth Horse: Green, death, hades

They are given authority over 1/4 of the earth to kill by their associated means.

It is my belief that the associated astrological signs are as follows:

First Horse: Leo, Crown, Kingly, Royalty, conquest

Second Horse: Virgo, Goddess of Justice, Sword (tongue)

Third Horse: Libra, Scales

Fourth Horse: Scorpio, death, hades (Pluto God of death and regeneration)

When you take the actual placement number of these signs and put them next to their biblical horse numbers it’s as follows:

51 Leo

62 Virgo

73 Libra

84 Scorpio

I don’t think it’s coincidental that there’s a perfect sequence of increasing numbers here. Leo through Scorpio are astrological signs 5, 6, 7, and 8, and their horse numbers start at 1 and continue increasing by 1; 1, 2, 3, 4.

51, 62, 73, and 84 are all separated by 11.

Are you blown away yet?

How about this; 51+62+73+84=270.

270 degrees is exactly 3/4 of the zodiac (Aries through Sagittarius), which leaves 1/4, or three signs. The four horsemen were given authority over 1/4 of the earth (Capricorn, Aquarius, Pisces) to kill. Capricorn, Aquarius, and Pisces are the three signs representing the winter season or death, the time of year when it’s impossible to plant and grow crops.

How about this; 51+62+73+84=270.

270 divided by 4 horsemen= 67.5.

6 is the Revelation number, there were 7 seals, and .5 represents roughly half the seals that were open, 4 out of 7.

Have a great day, and..

don’t overthink it.

Leo; A Special Birthday-Season Tribute

Happy Birthday-Season to everyone born when the sun was in the astrological sign, Leo. Leo is the sign ruled by the sun, so the Sun is home in Leo. The season ranges from July 23 to August 22-roughly.

Gold is the special color for Leo, and gold is the pinnacle of evolution. Gold is fought over, but some people understand it should be appreciated and admired.

With your natal Sun in Leo, you as an individual, understand your place. You know you’re the center of your world, and the importance of that role as a central figure. What needs to be done, you “will do”, but relaxation and time to appreciate what you’ve done is just as important.

By nature, you’re noticeable and attract attention-you might not want that, and you might not be looking for that, but it’s just apart of who you are. What you do have control over is your visibility and the type of attention you attract.

By nature, you’re emotional and stubborn, and why not-your the king of the jungle and your ruler is our solar system’s giver of life.

As a Aquarian, and your polar opposite, I’m going to share a big secret with you. The lessons taught by Saturn and the Moon will be important for you. Moderation and patience will be reoccurring themes throughout your life, and the ability to demonstrate both at some point will be vital.

Fire signs and their opposites, air signs, are in a unique situation. What I’ve learned is that both elements must be brought into balance. Of course, you could say fuck it, I’m the king of the jungle and my God is the Sun-pull away and conquer by fire. You could set the entire world ablaze! (That might be necessary)

But remember, without air, there is no fire.

Ultimately, this is your life to live, and no matter what, the potential is there for you to live it in a big, exciting, and fun way.

Your Lucky Numbers are 8 and 9.

💥Boomer Esiason, former NFL QB for the Jets and the Bengals, was upset with Donald Trump’s golf outing because he said it was an insult to families of 9-11. I don’t understand why he’s mad at Trump though.

I should probably clarify something here. I think it’s sad and I think it’s terrible that all those innocent people lost their lives because of 9-11. It’s sad and I feel sorry for all the families who lost loved ones, but that doesn’t change my opinions about the incident itself. If you know anything about demolition, then you know the Towers were imploded. I’m not saying planes didn’t hit them. I’m saying those buildings fell the way they did because they were imploded. And if they were imploded then someone had to go in there and line the inside of the buildings with dynamite. I think it’s terrible what happened to the victims involved, and I think it’s even worse that the people in this country were lied to.

🌞A horoscope I read today said, “when you’ve said what you wanted to say, people might be opposed to it, and compromise might be necessary.” There are a few things I’d like to say about this. If you’re saying something about someone or something that you know isn’t true, then a compromise might be necessary. But, when it comes to truth, some people are ready for it and and some or not. If you speak the truth and someone opposes it, we’ll, I don’t think a compromise is necessary. People will hate you for speaking the truth.

💰I don’t know if you saw, but archeologists found an old coin in Israeli waters. It was a Roman-Era coin, it was almost 2,000 years old, and on one side it had a lunar goddess with a crescent moon and an image of the crab from the astrological sign, Cancer. Pretty cool find!

📘A good friend of mine, author and astrologer, Bernie Ashman, just released a second edition to his original 1987 work, Astrological Games People Play. The new title is, Astrology, Psychology, and Transformation: Discovering Your Sacred Sky. It’s available in e-book and paperback!

♌Happy birthday season to all the lions! The sun entered the astrological sign Leo several days ago, and it will remain there until approximately August 22nd. There’s actually an interesting alignment currently in Leo; the sun and the moon are in conjunction with only two degrees of separation. (I’m going to talk about that in another article this evening)

❔Another rapper has been murdered. According to USA Today Online, Javorius Scott aka JAYDAYOUNGAN, was shot and killed on Louisiana yesterday. What a shame man. He was just 24-years old.

🏈NFL: NFL training camp is under way as teams reported to their facilities between the 18th and 26th of this month.

🤔💸💸💸The Federal government just announced its plan to spend $401 MILLION to expand the reach and speed of internet service for rural citizens living in western and central American states. Again, $401 Million dollars for internet service.

😮CNN Online just released a story about a 15-year old boy in Alaska. This kid shot three of his siblings who were 8, 15, 17, and then shot an killed himself. The parents were not home at the time and the investigation is ongoing.

👍Three days remain in July, and August 1st is next Monday. 2022 is going unbelievably fast. There’s a brand-new moon tonight, and tomorrow is Friday!! Enjoy.

Alright everyone. Thank you for following Nooz Buffet, and thank you for checking out another edition of Nooz Now! Don’t forget to pick up a copy of my books, Smorgasbord A Collection of Thoughts Experiences and Stories, and Smorgasbord 2 Catch Up and Relish. The link is below. Have a great night!

What’s going on my friends? Welcome.

The date today is Tuesday, September 7, 2021-happy birthday to all my Virgo friends! It seems like the sun was in and out of Leo within the blink of an eye, and I have mixed emotions about that.

♍-If you’re an Aquarius and you follow astrology, then you know Leo and Aquarius are stuck in opposition. But, relax-sometimes people see the word stuck and they think bad, but it’s not such a bad thing. I have a 7th house Aquarius sun with Leo rising in the 1st. They say your birth chart is ruled by the planet that rules the sign on your ascendant; since the sun rules Leo, my chart is ruled by the sun. Directly across the way is the descendent, and that’s where Aquarius is housing my birth sun.

When the sun is in Leo, it enlivens those lion-like qualities, and it’s my job to bring the qualities of Leo and the qualities of Aquarius into harmony since those signs are in opposition. In addition, I love the summer, so it’s a fun time all the way around. I don’t know why, but I find it fascinating that the sun rules Leo and the moon rules Cancer. Yup, Cancer and Leo house our luminaries.

What signs do you have on the horizon?

📘📖✍-This Saturday, September 11, I will be at the Barnes and Noble at the Lehigh Valley Mall between the hours of 1 pm and 3pm for my book signing. The address is 801 Lehigh Lifestyle Center, Whitehall, PA 18052. I’m excited-this is my first book signing, and I can’t wait to see you all there.

🏈NCAA- I wanted to give a shout out to Coach Longo (North Carolina Tar Heels). Coach Longo used to coach at the high school in the town I was born in, and then he coached at William Paterson University when I played there. We lost contact over the years, and the next time I saw him he was on the North Carolina sideline. I was home watching North Carolina play Clemson, and there he was. Congratulations Coach! Ohio State has another big game this weekend (Saturday) against Oregon. Both teams won their openers.

😮-Apparently there’s a radio station that tells people how they can save the world! Metro published a story written by Jessica Kwong, about a guy who was being pursued by police. During the chase, Tyson Gilbert, a 39-year-old man from Tennessee, cut his penis off and threw it at the cops who were chasing him. Later he said the radio influenced his actions and convinced him he could save the world by doing so. Lets hope his attempt was not in vein.

👦👧-Compartmentalization is the enemy of progression. I know it’s normal for teenage boys and girls to hang out in their bedrooms with the doors closed. I did it, we all did it, and I don’t know-it’s like all of a sudden we had this need for privacy and 5-hour phone calls. Once in while, open your doors and let your parents see what’s going on. Talk to them. Don’t stunt your families growth by becoming a hermit. Pimple face.

☀-On Wednesday, September 22, the sun enters Libra for the first day of fall. Our fall season will last for 105 days. The first day of winter this year is December 21st.

Okay everyone; have a wonderful night and a blessed day tomorrow. I hope to see you all this Saturday at Barnes and Noble.

P.S. I don’t want to say who it is because it might not happen, but I’m waiting for someone in the world of college football to get back to me to do a short interview. I’ll keep you abreast and a thigh of that situation.
