Sun and Moon Placements; A Sign of the Time

Wednesday, March 6, 2024

Good Morning Beloved!

Th current alignment for the Sun and Moon are as follows;

Sun 16 Pisces

Moon 24 Capricorn

With the Sun on the 16th degree of Pisces, spirituality is brought into focus, and it should be apparent that life and most of everything in it has a natural flow or rhythm.

Pisces is feminine mutable water.  Do not resist what the inner voice says to you today and tomorrow.  Inspiration and the push forward comes from intuition, so, believe in yourself and the faith that grounds you.

In the hard working and dedicated sign of Capricorn, emotionally, we’re encouraged to remain persistent.  Sometimes, life has a way of beating us down, but we don’t have to stay down.  On the flip side of this, you may feel upset or discouraged from not getting an opportunity or a chance to move on with your life.

As the Sun and Moon work together, we can feel the energies in their rawest forms.  We’re grounded by earth once we have a chance to experience what feels right to us, and that gives us a clearer mind to listen to and follow intuition.

The key now is seeking peace and serenity because as long as you’re acting with love in your heart, the universe will show you the way forward.

As I’m writing this my beloved, I sympathize with those of you who might be in a situation where it’s impossible to get centered, and once you do, someone or something knocks you off balance.

I suggest reading the Sabian Symbol for Pisces 17 again.  The answers for this dilemma can be found there and at Neptune’s placement on the 26th degree of Pisces.  

I really felt compelled to at least make an attempt to try to explain this current time we’re in despite the fact that most people will either dismiss it or not understand.  

But then I saw a sign revealing the current time.

On this website, I’ve talked a lot about the work of other people, Cal Garrison being one of them. She wrote the Weiser Field Guide to Ascension, which was published in 2010. I think it was around that time that I purchased and read it for the first time, but it’s still in my possession and I’ve read it many times since 2010.

Every time I read it, something new appears. On page 211, it says:

That two-year window came to a close at the end of October 2009. If you’re reading this book, chances are it is late spring or perhaps the early summer of 2010 (early summer 2010 for me). Some have predicted that the ascension would be a thing of the past before anyone opened these pages; others told us it was sure to happen in August of 2010, which means that this field guide is either gone with the wind or is about to provide everyone with a down-to-the-wire Cliff’s Notes for an event that is slated to take place in no time at all. If all of us are still present and accounted for, at this point it might be good to look at how we’re going to approach the ascension and consider the reality of the pole shift in more detail.

Cal Garrison

I highlighted gone with the wind and pole shift.

Well, I shared with all of you my astrological birth chart, and I showed all of you how my nodal axis is aligned between Pisces and Aquarius, and Virgo and Leo. That not only means that my nodal axis is aligned properly with the time marking the beginning and end of the Grand Cycle, but it’s aligned properly to mark the suspected times of earth’s pole shifts, which is approximately every 13,000 years.

They said before we entered the time of this shift, there would be an awakening. I described my personal awakening in a YouTube video recently, but I just realized last week, that current position of the outer planets point to what I experienced in 2013, and what Garrison was talking about in her book.

Neptune 26 degrees Pisces, Pluto 1 degree Aquarius, and Uranus 19 degrees Taurus.

If you’re following the Sabian Symbols for those placements, then you’ll see that:

Pluto represents the “Old Adobe Mission” If you read Garrison’s book then you know the importance of the pueblo or the old adobe mission.

Neptune represents the realization of faith and the Soul’s freedom to choose

Uranus represents the Awakening

The current alignment of the outer planets is just now starting to point at ascension. In addition to that I just saw this:

The picture above is a still shot from the YouTube Short video I made in 2019 or 2020 to advertise my new book. Look in the upper left hand corner.

“Gone With the Wind” just like it says on page 211 in Garrison’s Book.

I sit here every day, when I’m not working, and I wonder why I haven’t accumulated any money. I even wrote an article on here about how it seems like I find myself in poverty every 12 years. How can that be? I’ve written three books, I’ve been running my own website, which is monetized for six years, I work, I have a college degree, and on and on…

How am I poor? Why am I poor? In my relentless pursuit of the almighty dollar, I turned to Garrison’s book once again and that’s when I saw on page 210:

Perhaps, I’ve been fighting against this natural flow of life. Maybe, there’s something I need to accomplish before I can start making money. Right here, in the Weiser Field Guide to Ascension, it says that at this time, knowing who we are is more important than making money.

Maybe, for me personally, my inability to make money is the result of me fighting against the natural flow of life. You cannot walk without crawling first.

There are levels and steps to everything, and how ironic is it that according to the astrological birth chart, the first house is the House of Self, and the second House is the House of Money and Possessions.

With Easter coming up at the end of this month, the alignment of the outer planets, the new discoveries I’ve made in Garrison’s book, and everything else I’ve seen, heard, and experienced, I’m recognizing that the time is now.

So, where do we go from here?

Part of Fortune Placement

In an astrological chart, the Part of Fortune, a little symbol that looks like a circle with a cross in the center, could show a position of worldly success. It’s a place of luck that involves the physical body and one’s health.

The Part of Fortune is not a planet, it’s a mathematical point that requires the degrees of your Sun, Moon, and Rising Sign. Yesterday morning, at 10:47 AM, the Part of Fortune was located near the top of the chart in the 10th House on the 17th degree of Pisces. The Sabian Symbol there reads: Pisces 17 “An Easter Promenade”.

The first thing worth mentioning is that Easter is coming up on the 31st of this month, and Easter, which in Greek is called Pascha, is the feast to celebrate the Resurrection of the Lord.

A resurrection, a fresh start, a rebirth, and a new beginning is what we have to look forward to. The Sabian for Pisces 17 talks about how humans dress up and attend certain functions in society, church being one of them.

The deeper meaning of this symbol goes beyond our need to dress up in our “Sunday Best” for attention because the image we present to the world characterizes our inner and hidden sense of self.

According to the description of Pisces 17 on https://www.jamesburgess.com/an-easter-promenade.html,

we, in a way, idealize ourselves by dressing up, and by doing so, we gain insight into the ideal. That brings us to the most important part of this:

Unless our society allows us to celebrate ourselves as we choose to be, it is not our society. We need our idealised self-image accepted or we cannot realise it.

Variety and extremes of self-exhibition can often lack grace, even to the point of being ridiculous, yet they test our social environment, so they have genuine value. If we find that our Easter persona doesnโ€™t fit โ€“ then maybe our workaday personality doesnโ€™t either, and we need to find a better place, or way, to be.

www.jamesburgess.com

If our idealized self-image isn’t accepted, we cannot realize it (Self-Realization). If your society doesn’t allow you to celebrate yourself as you chose to be, then it’s not your society.

Okay, then, at this point we must consider changing something. Maybe we need to move to a different place that does accept the idealized self-image we have of ourselves.

The importance of this placement falls in line with Easter Sunday and the opportunity for rebirth or a fresh start. Unbelievable Synchronicity!

For a deeper understanding of the POF’s placement in Pisces on the 17th degree, we look to the placement of Neptune, the ruler of Pisces. Neptune is also in Pisces on the 26th degree, but in the 11th House, not the 10th.

The 11th House deals with our future, the friendships we have, and the groups and organizations we may interact with. Through the placement of Neptune, we learn from our higher selves, that this is really about the realization of faith.

Pisces 26, which is where Neptune was yesterday, talks about the freedom of choice. The freedom of choice is what we need if we want to make the necessary changes according to Pisces 17.

If you want the freedom of choice, you have to allow others to have the same-thing, the freedom to chose. At the Soul level, we’re actively creating our lives and our futures, even though a lot of people don’t realize this. If our human soul is creating our future, the it needs to have the freedom to chose what comes next.

Are you pissed off? Feeling stuck?

Feeling like you’re in a rut?

Feeling like you’re stuck in a repeating cycle of events?

Pisces 17 is spiritual, and too much conformity to the extent of robbing the soul of its freedom to chose, will crush the spiritual side of humans.

Free your soul, rebirth is right around the corner.

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.

The Zero Degree and the New Moon

Happy birthday season to all the fish!ย  Yes, the sun just blazed a trail through Aquarius, and today, Sol sits on the zero degree of Pisces.ย  Casablanca, Alexandria, and Dublin are several cities ruled by the astrological sign Pisces, and pale green and turquoise are its special colors.

The duality, element, and quality is feminine, water, and mutable.  Pisces is a feminine sign that shares an axis with its polar opposite, Virgo. 

According to astrology, you’re a Pisces if your natal sun is in Pisces between the dates of February 19th and March 20th, approximately.  Pisces are known to be imaginative, emotional, intuitive, romantic, and because of their quality, they can be quite adaptable. 

Neptune is the ruling planet, and Neptune is home in Pisces in the 12th House.ย  Neptune is the god of the sea and the Roman equivalent to ancient Greece’s Poseidon.ย  The 12th House is considered one of the more mystical houses, and I’ve been talking about it a lot here on Nooz Buffet during my astrological interpretations of people who suffered untimely deaths.ย 

It’s not that the 12th House is that bad. We just perceive it as bad because it’s where we find the limitations that life places upon us.  Sometimes, though, as we’ve come to understand with Saturn, limitations aren’t always a bad thing.  If you just won a million dollars, but you’re terrible with handling money, a $1,000 per week maximum payout can be a good thing. 

In order to understand the 12th House, you have to be honest with yourself because this is also where we find karma and the law of return.  This is where we’re awarded or punished for the deeds we’ve done.  If you refuse to take responsibility, then how will you learn?

๐ŸŒš I don’t know if it’s always like this, but it seems lately, every time the sun enters a new sign, there’s a new moon in the same sign around the same time.  Now is no different.

Tomorrow night, 2/20, there’s a new moon in Pisces, and every time we talk about new moons, I remind you guys that it’s a time for planting seeds.  That, of course, is harvest language.  I don’t mean literally to go outside and start a garden.

The new moon is when a new moon cycle begins.  It’s a time of endings and new beginnings, and it’s the perfect time to start something new.

Here is the most important part; a lot of people say bullshit to this or that it doesn’t matter when you begin something, and to them, I have two things to say.

Starting something at the time of the new moon is like being in the ocean and timing that wave that allows you to coast gracefully ashore.

The second thing is about endings and new beginnings. Again, people say bullshit or they don’t get it or see any difference.

When something ends, something new begins. The end of one thing is the beginning of something else. Essentially, endings and beginnings are the same.

What are we doing wrong?

When the moon turns from a waning crescent that’s lit at 1% to a new moon, it’s like turning a page in a book. There’s is no overlap or dragging it out. If you want something new to begin, like a real true beginning, you have to put an end to whatever you don’t want anymore. Not 75%, not 50%, not 10%; you have to end it totally.

That’s why we’re not seeing the change we want.

The key phrase for Pisces is, “I believe.” With the sun entering Pisces and the new moon phase beginning tomorrow night, it’s the perfect time to commit to something you believe in, change your belief system, or just be done with and over lies, falsities, and whatever has failed the test of time.

It’s time to get with yourself and figure it out. Is what you believe truly what you personally believe? What beliefs have you adopted through birth, because of peer pressure, or because they were popular? It’s time to separate what’s yours from what isn’t.

The lucky numbers for Pisces are 2 and 6, and amethyst is the lucky stone.

Enjoy the rest of your Sunday, and have a great week!

Moon Scope; Something Fishy Going On..

Good Evening! This week was hectic, and I haven’t done a Moon Scope in quite some time, but at this point I feel like I need to see what’s going on up there.

Right now, the moon is a waxing gibbous lit-up at 95%. The moon will be full in two more nights in Aries on October ninth.

Tonight’s moon is in the astrological sign of Pisces, and at this moment (4:31 PM), it’s in the first house. So, we have the moon in Pisces (18th degree) in the first house in a conjunction (5 degrees) with the ruler of Pisces, Neptune.

Our discovery of the moon in the first house sets the tone for something personal, and trust me, the timing is perfect. The first house is the house of self, it’s partially our personality, but generally it’s about the way you present yourself to others and the way the outside world sees you. In an individual’s chart, the first house is the most powerful and the most personal because it represents you!

The moon is comfortable in compatible Pisces. The moon is reserved, methodical, and it’s energy is feminine. Pisces is receptive and mutable. Suddenly, the moon is shining a light on the undercurrents and depths of the self but in a unique way enabled only by this conjunction we mentioned earlier.

The message I’m getting from the heavens right now is to put aggression aside. There are times when-it’s time to go, and there are times when it’s important to wait. Now, I wouldn’t say this is a time to wait as in doing nothing, but listening and trying to go with the flow is the recommendation.

Pisces is a water sign, and like we mentioned, it’s mutable, meaning adaptable, flexible, and open to change. For those of us who believe in the universe and follow astrology, the Gods, I feel are trying to bestow something special that has the ability to completely change who we are for the better. It can be something that can help us improve in a major way, so much so, that it actually has the ability to change the perceptions people have of us. Which is not typical for this alignment or the planets involved.

This is big. Don’t get caught up in the arguing and don’t lose focus on what’s going on around you. Water represents intuition, and with intuition, greater fulfillment is possible with a clear sense of reality and balance.

The Neptunian energy is entwined with lunar energy, and this is powerful with only 5 degrees of separation. The energy here is about romance, dreams, mysticism, illusion, inspiration, and a connection to a higher source. It’s like God is about to show you something that has been hidden in the watery depths of your subconscious only to be brought to surface at this very precise time. If you have some time to escape and be alone with yourself, this is an excellent time to pray or mediate. Get ready because the door to the spirit world is about to open for a brief moment and who knows what’s coming through it. It could be a barrage of information and you’ll need to determine what’s real and useful, and what’s a figment of your imagination.

Don’t forget, traditionally, Pisces is a 12th house sign. This could be about self-improvement through beating an addiction, coming out of prison and starting a brand-new life, or eliminating self-sabotaging behaviors or thoughts. The Universe is pushing us towards a greater future with a renewed sense of self. So renewed, that everyone around you will notice!

A great movie to watch right Now: Satan’s Triangle (1975) ๐Ÿ‘

Lucky Day: Today! Friday!

Friends and Followers, what’s going on!

It is the 23rd day of February, and it’s a warmer than usual evening around these parts. We had a beautiful day today, I mean it wasn’t sunny, but the temperature was in the 60s! We still have a few weeks of winter, and a snow storm is in the forecast for Friday, but it was a nice change.

Before I get into the Nooz, I wanted to say this;

I’ve always, for my entire life, rooted for the underdog. I despise tyranny, I despise control, and I particularly hate it when I don’t have a choice. I have no problem following rules, but if the rules only apply to me, than I’m not following.

I support people who stand for what they believe in. When you feel like something isn’t right, or your human rights are being violated, you’re supposed to speak up. That’s not being rebellious or ignorant.

Some of these people out here should be ashamed of themselves. They hate freedom and they hate it when people stand up for themselves. What’s wrong with you? There’s all of a sudden this popular belief that protesting is wrong. It isn’t wrong. Sometimes it’s necessary for us to put our personal lives on hold to address an issue.

Some people need to take a good long hard look at themselves. You people who take no responsibility and admit no guilt, where are you morally? Virtues?

You’re glad protesters got beat by the armed militia? They got what they deserved for opening up their mouths? Really? Is that how you really feel? That’s the mentality of a tyrant. You’re not my friend.

One more question. What the fuck is bwaahaaa? bwahahaaa? That’s some loser shit from 2008. ๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿคฃ That shit lost.

I digress.

Moving Forward…

โ™“Okay, it’s officially Pisces season. The sun entered Pisces around the 19th, and it will remain in the sign of the fish until March 20th. I don’t know why, but Pisces is one of those signs I seem to overlook. Like, I should study Pisces more. I know quite a few people who have their natal sun in Pisces, and they’re interesting people. They’re deep emotionally and talented, but for some reason they don’t see in themselves what others see. They don’t give themselves enough credit. Love yourself Pisces.

๐ŸŒ”The moon is on the 7th degree of Sagittarius, and Venus and Mars are still in conjunction in Capricorn. Because of that conjunction, they said February 16th was supposed to be the most romantic day of the year. How’d you do? Sagittarius is a fire sign that dwells in the 9th house of the zodiac. The archer has some amazing power if you know how to make it work for you, but in general, the moon in that location should stir up some emotions towards higher education and long distance travel. Maybe it’s time to hop in the car and take that road trip you’ve been putting off.

๐ŸคฃI know I’m a little late on this because I’m always late to the party on television shows, but who’s watching Coach John McGuirk on Adult Swim? Funny…

๐Ÿ›ธI don’t know why, but NUFORC, my go to site for UFO reports stop posting. Either they stopped posting reports or there hasn’t been anything to report. That’s right, not a single report for 2022. I find that hard to believe.

๐Ÿ’ฅI thought the tensions between Russia and Ukraine subsided, apparently not though. US Secretary of State Antony Blinken, thinks Russia could invade tonight!

https://www.aa.com.tr/en/americas/us-believes-russia-could-invade-ukraine-before-night-is-over/2511863

Alright everyone. I’m ending this post here. It’s been a long day, I worked 10 hours, and I’m out of brain power. LOL I’m talking about friggin Coach John Mc Guirk! OMG. โ™ฅโ™ฅ๐Ÿ’™๐Ÿ’™โคโค

Have a good night.

Smorgasbord A Collection of Thoughts Experiences and Stories

I would like to apologize to everyone who attempted to leave a review for Smorgasbord A Collection of Thoughts Experiences and Stories on Amazon. My friends and supporters are starting to come back to me because they’re having a problem writing reviews; Amazon is not letting them. There’s a pop up message about guidelines or something. I haven’t had time to look into this issue yet, but I will Thursday. If you would still like to write a review, I kindly suggest visiting the Barnes & Noble website instead and writing one there. Like I said, I don’t know what the issue is yet with Amazon so I’m not going to speculate. Thank you for trying, please don’t give up. Head over to Barnes & Noble.

Smorgasbord 2 Catch Up and Relish

It seems like it took forever, but Smorgasbord 2 Catch Up and Relish is near completion! What you see there on the left is the official front and back cover. I’m beyond excited for the release of this book, and I think you’re going to enjoy reading it. Fulton Books in Meadville, Pennsylvania is the publishing company.

Upcoming Projects: I’ve been working on Smorgasbord 3 for a few months now. I don’t want to give away too much too soon, but there will be a third book. The title will be Smorgasbord 3 Poverty & Prophecy, and it’s going to blow you away! Also, I’m thinking about having a Smorgasbord 2 release party somewhere. I will keep you updated and in-the-loop on that.

Well, it’s old news now, but the Rams beat the Bengals and won the Super Bowl! Super Bowl LVI (56) was played last Sunday, February 13th, and it was a close one. The Rams won the game by 3 points with a fourth quarter touchdown pass from Mathew Stafford to Coffee Cup? Oh wait, Copper Kupp. Sorry. ๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿคฃ Up until that point, the Bengals held a 20-16 lead that went all the way down to the wire. To be exact, there was 1:25 left to play when the Rams scored the go-ahead touchdown. Stafford completed 26 out of 40 passes for 283 yards and 3 touchdowns. The Ram’s rushing game was nowhere to be found; Cam Akers ran the ball 13 times for 21 yards and never even reached pay dirt.

Joe Burrow completed 22 passes for 263 yards and 1 touchdown. They were able to run the ball well with Joe Mixon (4.8 yards per carry), and WR Tee Higgins caught 4 passes for 100 yards and 2 touchdowns. In the end though, none of that mattered for the Bengals. On that day, the 13th of February in the year 2022, the Rams were the better team.

โ™’โ™“Wow! How fast did the Aquarius birthday season go? I mean seriously, in three more days on the 18th, the sun will move into the astrological sign of Pisces. Honestly, though, I can’t wait. I’m so ready for spring, and I know a lot of you are too. ๐ŸŒ”Currently, the moon is on the 20th degree of fiery Leo, and Venus and Mars are in a body to body conjunction on the 16th degree of Capricorn. Talk about war and peace, huh…

๐Ÿ’ฅSpeaking of war, according to Greek Reporter dot com, Russia is now withdrawing its troops from the Ukraine border. I guess they just wanted to get in Ukraine’s face and talk some shit?

๐Ÿ’ฉOh, BIG STORY here. Eminem kneeled during the half time show.

๐Ÿ› I just called the office of the registrar at my alma mater WPUNJ because I wanted some information about registration deadlines. Afterwards, I was scrolling the web, and a story popped up from 2014.

So, five William Paterson University students are or were on trial for the alleged gang rape of a freshman female. The alleged gang rape took place on campus and in a dorm on Tuesday, November 25, 2014.

The five men that were involved all knew each other from the Educational Opportunity Fund (EOF), which offers low-income students an opportunity to go to college with financial aid, preparatory classes and counseling. (Wait a second, wasn’t there just a big issue recently about systemic racism? ๐Ÿ˜ข๐Ÿ˜ขImmigrants and people of color don’t get the same opportunities as white people?)

Well, these five guys (no relation to the restaurant) had a golden opportunity. I told you, all that was bullshit. I can’t speak for other states, but I know for a fact, that New Jersey’s system of higher education has done an amazing job ensuring everyone has a fair and equal opportunity to get educated.

Anyway, there was another incident, but I don’t think it was related. Cherelle Locklear, a 21-year-old junior at WPUNJ committed suicide and her body was found on November 22, 2015. Supposedly, she was raped at an off-campus fraternity house, and her allegations were never investigated. William Paterson University took blame for failing to investigate and paid her family $800,000.

Damn! This isn’t the William Paterson I remember. WTF WPU! Seriously though, this is a shame. I can’t believe it.

๐Ÿค“I’m gonna drop some real knowledge on y’all. I was totally indoctrinated by the college educational system, and especially because I was a teacher. I believed everything. They used to tell us that inner-city school students are way behind because there’s no money to get them the tools they need to be successful and compete with schools in higher income areas. I was on board with everything-fighting for my students. I was so gung-ho.

And then I get into the classroom, and see students throwing scientific calculators worth hundreds of dollars at the floor and walls. Literally, trying to break them.

And I just sat there for a brief moment watching this, and to myself, I’m like, “wow, if you only knew how hard people fight to get you the shit you need, and here you are trying to break a calculator your parents would have to work two weeks to pay for.”

Case in point-Don’t believe the hype!

Second Case in point-In order for schools to be successful, the students have to be successful, and money has nothing to do with it. The best schools are those where parents, teachers, and administrators have found a middle ground-all coming together, working in unison for the betterment of the child. And of course, once the student sees this cooperation between teachers and parents, their behavior miraculously changes.

Alright my friends, have a wonderful night and a blessed Wednesday. Stay warm!

Nooz Now

Hello and Good Evening! It will be Wednesday, the 24th day of February tomorrow. That means we have one more week, and February is caput. February always goes so fast; my birthday, Valentines Day, Black History Month, yup, it all goes on in the month of February. We’ve had quite a winter-at least here on the East Coast. We’ve had snow fall every Monday for this entire month, but guess what? There’s only one more month of winter! Spring is right around the corner.

On the 18th, the sun quietly crept into Pisces, so it’s officially Pisces season. Those water signs can be emotional can’t they? There’s lots of stuff going on right now. I just wrote about NASA and their Artemis Plan, which maps out a timely schedule for our return to the moon. The weather in Texas has been horrific, but I think they’re in recovery now. There’s a lot of work in Texas-especially for trades like plumbers and electricians.

I just read in the online publication, Buenos Aires Times, there were prison riots in Ecuador that left 62 people dead. That’s a lot people. Eventually, the military was deployed to help guards reclaim their institutions.

Tiger Woods was in a terrible car accident, and Drew Barrymore is opening up about she spent 18 months in a psychiatric hospital when she was 13.

How are you guys doing? I just found out today my new book, Smorgasbord, is being sold now on the Barnes & Noble website (paperback). I knew that was going to happen eventually, but I didn’t have an exact date. I think the e-book version will be available in three weeks-I’ll keep you updated on that.

I’d like to thank and welcome all the new followers here at Nooz Buffet. You’re loved and appreciated. We’ve been on the web since 2018, and we’re looking forward to an amazing future. If you have any questions or comments write in. We love the open dialogue with our readers.

Have a good night everyone.
