Happy New Year!

January 8, 2026

I know year’s day was several days ago, but we’ve just returned from our two-week vacation. So…..

Happy New Year! I hope everyone made good memories this past holiday season, and I hope we all rang in the new year on a positive note.

When it’s all broken down (added up and reduced), 2026, numerologically, is a number 1 year. That means 2026 will be the perfect year to start something new, or to begin something you’ve been putting off for a long time. Number one, energetically, exudes the great qualities and characteristics seen in pioneers and leaders, so don’t be afraid to take the reins.

You’re a trailblazer now so forge ahead and lead the way. Within the year 2026, we can see the number two twice, and of course, the number six. Two is the number of partnerships, unity, and teamwork, and because it appears twice, well, that means it’s extra important. Two is the number of duality, and so 2026 will be about appreciating the opposite nature of things, seeking both sides of the story, and ultimately, discernment and truth.

Six can be quite rangy when it comes to meaning. I’ve seen it written that the number six represents the divine or sacred feminine, however, according to my own numerology system, Oculus 13, which happens to be scary accurate, found the number six to be a solar number connected to Man. Biblically, six is said to be number of imperfections, human, weakness, and the manifestation of sin.

When you put all this together, it’s clear that the Universe is urging us to begin, to move on, and to move forward without fear or doubt. In the process of moving on or forward, some of us out of need or maybe by chance, will meet people and form different relationships.

No, we won’t agree with everyone all the time, but the Universe is asking us to be appreciative of the opposite nature of things. Along this journey in 2026, we will learn and evolve greatly by exploring and understanding the uniqueness of individuality and how different people are capable of bringing something completely different to the table. The truth is that we can’t evolve or make it through this labyrinth without sin.

The emphasis is being put on relationships, and so, the solar number six would represent the behavior exhibited or displayed by both parties involved. At the end of the day, as indicated by the number one, you’re meant to be a leader and not a follower this year, so while appreciation of opposites and learning is good, keep in mind that you’re a man/woman who’s on a mission in 2026.

The current lunar cycle, which began on the nineteenth of December, reached culmination on January 3rd, and we had a beautiful full moon in Cancer. At the time of that full moon, the Moon, on the 14th degree of Cancer in the Sixth House, was in opposition the Sun on the 13th degree of Capricorn in the Twelfth House.

What’s really amazing is that the astrology of January 3rd reinforces or validates what we just talked about. Cancer in the Sixth House puts a focus on taking care of business at home. It’s a reminder that we need to love ourselves and our bodies. We need to nurture ourselves and take care of our bodies because the reality is that without our health, life can be difficult on many different levels.

There’s something else deeper going there with that opposition. A Twelfth House Sun can manifest as an individual who’s highly developed spiritually (extremely private/possibly a hermit), and remember, the Sixth House can represent service-how we worship/who or what we worship.

Cancer is a sign that represents the home and our private lives, and Capricorn is a sign that rules work and our public lives. The full moon provided a revelation regarding the balancing that’s needed between the Twelfth and the Sixth Houses, and some of us might be experiencing ridicule or humiliation for our spiritual views.

You know, a lot of the stuff we talk about here on Nooz Buffet might sound crazy to someone who’s not in the loop. I just tried explaining the theory of the pole shift to someone the other day, and they were just looking at me like I was crazy.

Not everyone is capable of wrapping their heads around some of the stuff we believe and talk about, but that doesn’t mean we’re crazy or that it isn’t true. It’s best, while at work (and trust me, I know from 25 years of professional work experience), that we keep our conversations with coworkers strictly about work-related issues. If you’ve been working with someone for a few years, and you’ve made friends with that person, it could be a different story, however, that’s the exception.

I would refrain from talking about anything that’s personal. Concentrate and focus on the things that unify everyone-like the work you were hired to do.

Spiritually, if you have a special gift that’s fully developed, it might be time for you to put it to good use by helping yourself and those you love.

The opposition between the Sun and the Full Moon on January 3rd can without a doubt manifest as a conflict. This conflict could be internal, or it could be with a partner.

It almost appears as if the news concerning the crazy stuff we did on New Year’s Eve is finally making its way back to our partners. 😬

I hope you’ve been loyal and faithful because I warned that infidelity could turn this Holiday Season on its head! With the Sun in the Twelfth House, well, that time has finally come due.

Alright everyone, enjoy your weekend.

One Last Post for 2025; Time to Celebrate

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 21st 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 to dethrone last year’s winner, Kenya. The United Kingdom also moved up from in 2024 to in 2025, and Canada moved up from in 2024 to 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 3rd and then turn new again on January 18th. This grace period actually gives us until the 18th of January to resolve matters and move forward. Once January 18th arrives, it’s all systems go. Prepare for that.

Astrologically, at precisely 00:02 A.M. on January 1st, 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 31st 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.

Tis the Season

Here we are. It’s the 14th day of December, and Christmas Day is in another eleven days. This year I decided to get a jump on my shopping because every year I find myself in the position of putting it off and putting it off, and then in the final seconds, I buy everyone gift cards. I don’t want to be that guy this year.

My plan for 2020 holiday shopping goes like this; the first week of December I buy cards for everyone on my list. Christmas cards are the foundation of gift giving. In addition, I do all my internet shopping during the first week as well because as we all know, internet items must be delivered, and time is of the essence. No one wants to receive gifts after Christmas. Right? I mean what’s the point?

Week two is supply week. I buy tape, wrapping paper, ribbons, and gift boxes. The third Friday, December 18th, is gift week. I’ll be out shopping this weekend, and if I decide to grab a gift card for everyone as well, I’ll do it. And that’s pretty much it. Everyone’s gifts will be wrapped and under the tree by the 20th, which means I have four days to prepare myself and finalize any plans.

I don’t know about you, but for me, the holiday season goes way too fast. Before you know it you’re taking the tree down, rolling up the lights, and it’s New Year’s Day. Speaking of the New Year, don’t forget to make your resolutions. Pick a few things you would like to see come to fruition, and make 2021 all about it. I decided to draw a line. I’m separating 20 and 21, and I’m leaving any and all road blocks, mental blocks, and guilt behind. I’m releasing grudges, animosity, and personal issues. The sprinter blocks are setup, and I’m about to bolt into 2021 with a clean slate.

What do you celebrate during the Holiday Season? What are your plans for the New Year? Please, write in and talk to us. We love hearing from all of you. Don’t forget to visit our services and merchandise pages. T-shirts and tote bags make great gifts, and we’re already selling a bunch of coffee mugs. If you need research or writing services, this is the place.

See ya at the finish line!
