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.

A Nodal Nightmare?

For those who aren’t familiar and/or disconnected from astrology circles, I just saw the Dragon’s Tail is not only in the 1st House, but in Scorpio as well!

Most of us are familiar with the Moon-we know it orbits the Earth. As it orbits our planet, is does so on an angle. The Moon has two nodal points, the north node and the south node.

The Moon’s nodes mark the point where the Moon’s orbit crosses the Sun’s path on the ecliptic. I call them X-points, but;

The north node represents the point at which the Moon ascends in its orbit, and the south node is the point where the Moon descends in its orbit. North node=going up. South node=going down.

The ancients envisioned a dragon in the heavens, and they named the north node, Caput Draconis, which is Latin for Dragon’s Head, and the south node, Cauda Draconis, which is Latin for Dragon’s Tail.

Geomancers will throw out a chart and end a personal reading if the Dragon’s Tail, or south node happens to fall in the first house. They say it’s ill-fated and terribly unlucky. And they might be on to something.

After conducting my own research, I found the Moon’s south node in the 1st house on April 4, 1968, in the assassination chart of MLK. Coincidental? I don’t know, but there was an article published online today on the site, The Conversation, that said the Earth’s magnetic field could be disturbed today by solar flares.

This is all so interesting to me-considering tomorrow is July 22nd. Remember when I published that article about July 22nd? I didn’t make any predictions, but I said to myself, let me share with my readers what lined up for me on the 22nd just in case something strange happens like a resurrection or a rapture. LOL, hey, I didn’t want anyone saying, “You could’ve saved us but you didn’t say anything.” So I did. I told you about how the Fibonacci numbers lined up with certain days on the calendar, and how those days could be important from a biblical perspective.

The crazy thing is that Scorpio, the sign the south node is in currently, is the sign of death, birth, rebirth, resurrection, and transformation. I had no idea this was going to line up this way because I was focusing on the location of MakeMake.

The 1st house is the house of self, and Scorpio is the sign of death and resurrection! Incredible. Keep your eyes open-LOL-for the rest of the night, tomorrow, and tomorrow night too.
