Arrival of Summer, Happy Birthday Cancer ♋

Good afternoon and welcome. I just finished my ceremony for the celebration of summer’s arrival, and despite not having all the supplies necessary, I went with what I had. To tell you the truth, I feel okay about that.

It was last minute, but I can work on adding herbs to my collection. I’d like to get to a point where I have everything I need on hand, weather it be candles, herbs, teas, or whatever.

The summer is a time to celebrate love, health, and purification. It’s the peak of fertility, and at noon time today in the northern hemisphere, the Sun was directly overhead.

I pulled the astrological chart afterwards to see where the planets were, and the Sun was on the zero degree of Cancer. It’s nice to be able to correlate the beginning of the summer season with the sun’s entry into the astrological sign of Cancer.

Here’s the chart from astro.com.

As you can see, there’s a beautiful cross in play that involves all the cardinal signs; Cancer, Capricorn, Libra, and Aries. This is powerful and positive energy. It gives us the energy to initiate new things, forge ahead and lead in new directions, and the power to change our environments by personal will.

The Sun, Mercury, and Venus are in conjunction at the top of this chart in Cancer. All three are opposite the Moon and tied into a square with Neptune in Pisces.

People, this is very stressful energy. Oppositions and squares present challenges, but we need them to learn. Sometimes, it’s the most difficult and stressful situations that teach the greatest lessons. As you navigate your way through this time, just know that there’s going to be arguments, misunderstandings, things taken out of context, and so on.

Maturation is what the 19th degree of Cancer is about, and at the bottom of the chart on the 19th degree of Capricorn, we find fortitude and the push to take on difficult tasks. On the horizontal axis, 16 degrees Libra opposite 16 degrees Aries, we are being pushed to rise above perceptions and the petty things that drive us into danger.

Challenge yourself to be a better person, and remember that you’re competing with no one other than yourself. You’re trying to be the best version of yourself, and sometimes taking on new challenges and pushing ourselves forces us to mature.

The full Moon this evening is conjunct the Galactic Center and culminating in the astrological sign of Sagittarius. The first full moon on the first night of summer will be bursting with electromagnetic radiation. It’s a time of endings and new beginnings, and things can end good or they can end bad, but either way, they must end to begin anew.

Be careful, be smart, and enjoy!

Good Morning! Thank you for visiting N.B. and welcome to this edition of Nooz Now. And now, it’s time for..

The Nooz

🌓 Tonight’s Moon will be 61% illuminated in the astrological sign of Virgo. Shirley MacLaine, J. P. Morgan, and Kennedy’s John F. and Edward M., were born with their natal Moons in Virgo. In the sign of the maiden, there is a tendency to be argumentative and high strung, but even the darkest sides of the Virgo moon seem to come from a very good place.

Virgo is conscientious. She’s aware and seeks to know, so as long as we’re coming from a genuine place of sincerity, we cannot be wrong. Last night was the first quarter moon, which means we have approximately one more week until totality. Reading, studying, and intellectual work that grounds us is good for this transit through Virgo.

🌞 2024 is moving rather quickly; we’re half-way through May already, and the Sun is almost done with his journey through Taurus. Today, the Sun shines brilliantly on the 26th degree of Taurus delivering warmth and light. As we prepare to move into the sign of communications and self-expression (Gemini), we take with us, lessons of dependability and consistency.

⚾ The MLB Season began on March 28th. The Yankees are 29-15 and a half-game up on the Orioles in the East, the Guardians lead the central division (Who TF are the Guardians, and when did they become a team?), and the Mariners are 1.5 games ahead of the Rangers in the West. For the National League, the Phillies are 3 games ahead in the East, the Brew Crew leads in the central, and in the West, the Dodgers are 7 games ahead of the Fathers (🤣🤣Padres).

🧡 We have about thirty-five days until the summer season begins on July 21st. Litha, summer solstice, and in some traditions, Midsummer, represents a time of peak fertility used to celebrate love, health, purification, and dedication.

😷 The Epoch Times reported that people who received more than one vaccine to protect themselves from covid actually made themselves twice as likely to get it.

The North Carolina Senate is now moving to ban wearing masks in public as the bigger picture is finally starting to become clear-they’re being worn by criminals and protestors. Personally, it is my belief that there’s a strong connection between mental disorders and mask-wearing. What are you hiding your face for?

🛑 A teenager in Colorado, Nicholas Karol-Chik, pleaded guilty for his involvement in the death of Alexa Bartell. This case is really a shame, senseless, and stupid. Apparently, several teenagers were driving around in a vehicle driven by Chik, and they were throwing rocks at other cars on the road?

What?

Anyway, one of the rocks went through the windshield of the car driven by 20-year-old, Alex Bartell, and killed her. SMH. Dumb, just dumb.

Alright everyone, enjoy your day.

I love and appreciate you. Please purchase my books so I’m not poor forever.

Virgo and the Luminaries

August 23rd to September 22nd, here on the eastern coast of the U.S. is hot. As we get closer to the end of August, we get into the time referred as the “dog days of summer.” The month of August is coming to an end and so is the summer season so as we begin to get overwhelmed by the heat, we’re given a break. The fall or autumn arrives and the temperature and humidity drops a little.

Astrologically, this time of year is represented by Virgo. According to Greek mythology, Virgo was associated with Astraea, the immortal goddess who was the last to leave humans and earth at the end of the Silver Age. Justice, innocence, purity, and precision are words connected with Virgo, and Virgo was always connected with the harvest.

Justice is why we find Virgo in the heavens next to constellation Libra, the scales of balance and justice. When you think about the words we connect with Virgo and the timing of her leaving at the end of the Silver Age, we can clearly see the reason for her departure. When humanity is without purity and innocence, the degeneration begins.

Interestingly enough, between August 23rd and September 22nd, the school year begins, and for some children, it will be their first experience socializing and mingling outside the home. Children are pulled from the shelter and protection of their parents and the private sanctuary that is the home, and placed into the classroom.

Right now, we have a special and powerful situation astrologically. A brand-new moon phase is beginning tonight in Virgo, and the sun is several days into its transit of Virgo. I think it’s special when we have a new moon coinciding with the sun’s entry into a sign, and what makes it powerful is the relationship or aspect between these two luminaries. As the sun sits on Virgo’s 4th degree and the moon on the 11th, they’re separated by 6 degrees. We call that a conjunction with 6 degrees of separation. Powerful!

A revival of new life and will power has been given to Virgo, and we’re blessed with mutable earth. We’re blessed with the ability to go with the flow, the ability to adjust and readjust, and the ability to experience without becoming too attached for the importance of figuring out what makes sense to us.

Virgo embodies precision, concentration, attention to detail, and the search for truth. It’s in the areas of service and health that we find a natural home and place for the manifestation of the Virgoan characteristics and energy.

With a brand-new moon phase beginning and Mercury in Libra, the heavens, through the various channels of communication, are calling for justice, balance, and harmony in the areas of service and health.

You can blog about it, write about it, talk about it, or make a video. Sometimes the rectification of a situation only requires that we bring attention to it. When you take something out of the darkness and place it in the light, you can see it for what it truly is.

If something doesn’t feel right internally, or something doesn’t look right, speak up. Your health is important; do your own research and if that’s not enough call or go see a doctor.

If you have extensive knowledge or consider yourself to be an expert in a field related to health or service, it’s time for you to speak up.

You might have a unique perspective or an understanding about something complicated, but because you’re personable and easy to talk to, you might be able to help someone internalize and wrap his head around something that never made sense to him.

Lies are told and the truth is hidden for many reasons, but sometimes it’s done to protect people. That’s acceptable to an extent. When withholding information creates problems, complications, and imbalance, then it’s time to release it. That means you’re ready.

Tonight, a new phase begins, and it culminates on September 10th with a full moon in Pisces. Your ability to be mutable and go with the flow has presented you with this awesome opportunity to figure out what does or doesn’t make sense. With that, you can begin this phase by sowing the proper seeds.

Focus your attention specifically and directly on the problem and the imbalance. Dig; do your research, study, and find the hidden truth.

When you find the truth, you may keep it to yourself, or you may communicate your discovery with others, but becoming the savior of the world isn’t the calling here. It’s about validating sense with truth and restoring balance. On the night of the full moon, you’ll be able to see the difference.

Starting tonight and lasting until the night of the full moon, the communications will center around justice and making things right. Those who work in service have an obligation to the people they serve, and often, they’re held to higher standards. You should know this before you get involved.

At this time there will be zero tolerance for abuse of power, or withholding important truths. Astraea may have left humans and earth at the end of the Silver Age, but the spirit of Virgo will forever seek justice when it comes to protecting the innocent and those pure of heart.
