The Noxsoma Chronicles [0103] 01-01-2026 … Day 23683 (Full Metal New Year)
We begin this year in peace, the power of gratitude and an expanding abundance. It’s quiet and chilly in the hood. We decided to fast until noon. About two hours left as we type this. Biceps curls still in effect. 75 away from 100. We decided to do 100 pushups today as well. We are 40 away from 100 at this moment. 100 pushups a day for 100 days – even as we continue at the Monkey Bars and the gym? Let’s see. No meat on the menu today. Not a New Year’s resolution – We are just returning to our cycling on and off. The updated plan is to prepare 3-5 days of meat on the menu – optimally 4 days – and then abstain from meat for 3 days to reset the gut lining. We started this late last year. We can maybe expect to examine results after a full year of this. We may be able to cycle on and off of intermittent fasting as well.
We joined a gym in the final days of 2025. It’s 15 to 30 minutes away on public [free or paid] transit. So this gets me out of the neighborhood. It’s one of those gyms with a lot of weight-loaded machines, but there are also ways to use free weights as well. Looking forward to another year of balancing weight training with calisthenics and outside bars and playground stuff. I don’t feel any “financial” pressure to get “my money’s worth” from the gym. The plan is to use it for heavy leg work, especially when this ankle gets back to 90+%.
Resolutions? We really don’t make them, however – the changing of the year and tradition has the Mind-gears going. We frame our challenges like this – “What if we could…?” Or, “Wouldn’t it be cool if we could … ?”
Here’s an example; “Wouldn't it be cool if we could do 100 pushups a day for 100 days. What would be those results? What would be involved? Let’s try it.” We go one day at a time. Count the days and chronicle the days. This seems to work for the vessel. We like to train. We like to count. We like to write and We believe in accountability. To who? To anyone who is reading.
Almost twenty years We have been doing it this way. We often reach our goals. But that’s another story.
Seems like we are doing another Bio. Okay. So be it.
We accessed our Cosmic Chronicler to set up an Astrological forecast for this year. Last year – cosmically speaking – we were performing without a safety net. We did okay. This year we are going to reach into the Cosmos – [The All] – as an added vrooom, for this Dynamic One Year. We are very PSYCHED!!
Cosmic Voyage: Your Year of Synthesis - 2026
The Grand Theme: The Builder of Dreams Astrological Archetype: The Piscean Alchemist with Capricorn’s Tools 2026 presents you with a magnificent astrological synthesis. The year is dominated by Saturn in Pisces (My Sun sign) and Neptune in Aries, creating a powerful, once-in-a-lifetime call to structure your spirituality and monetize your imagination. You are being guided to build a lasting legacy from your deepest dreams. This isn't about dissolving into fantasy; it's about becoming the architect of your own magical reality.
ABUNDANCE & RESOURCES Jupiter in Cancer (Mid-Year) -- Jupiter in Leo (Late-Year): Abundance flows through home, family, and heart-centered creativity. The first half of the year favors investments in property, family ventures, or creating a nurturing home sanctuary that becomes your wealth generator. After Jupiter enters Leo in your sector of daily work and health, your unique creative flair becomes your most bankable asset. A hobby or artistic skill could unexpectedly turn profitable. Watch for opportunities around August and November—the universe is handing you a golden paintbrush.
CREATIVITY & SELF-EXPRESSION Uranus in Gemini continues its long transit through your 4th House of Roots and Foundation. Your creativity is sparked by unconventional thinking, communication, and a radical re-ordering of your home environment. Expect sudden inspirations at 3 a.m.! Consider a creative studio at home, a digital platform, or a project that blends nostalgia with futuristic ideas. Your mind is your most fertile creative field—till it wildly.
HEALTH, WELLNESS & FITNESS: Your Sacred Temple
ROMANCE & HEART CONNECTIONS Venus-North Node Synergy in Libra (September-October): The year’s romantic highlight arrives in Autumn. A fated connection or a profound deepening of an existing partnership is highlighted. This isn't about fleeting romance; it's about a meeting of souls that offers mutual evolution. For singles, someone from a different cultural or intellectual background could be captivating. For those partnered, a shared spiritual or artistic project will re-enchant the bond.
TRAVEL & EXPANSION Pluto in Aquarius in your 9th House of Adventure & Higher Mind. Travel in 2026 is transformative, intellectual, and likely involves groups or technology. Think a mindfulness retreat with tech entrepreneurs, an archaeological dig, or a pilgrimage to a site of scientific and spiritual significance (e.g., an observatory in the desert). Avoid mere tourism; seek journeys that permanently alter your perspective. Short, insightful trips may be more fruitful than long hauls.
SPIRITUALITY & INNER WISDOM The Saturn-Neptune Tango: This is your core spiritual assignment. Saturn in Pisces asks you to create disciplined practice—daily meditation, a dream journal, structured study of mysticism. Neptune in Aries empowers you to become a spiritual pioneer. Blend compassion with courage. You may feel called to lead or initiate a small group focused on healing or creative spirituality. Your wisdom is earned through consistent, humble practice, not just inspiration.
KNOWLEDGE & WISDOM Eclipses in Virgo-Pisces Axis (March & September): Key moments of download and release. The March Pisces Solar Eclipse (My sign!) ignites a new 6-year cycle of self-discovery. What did you learn in your 60s that you now must teach? The September Virgo Lunar Eclipse asks you to release outdated routines and critical self-talk to make room for this new wisdom. Wisdom comes not from acquiring more, but from synthesizing the profound library of your life experiences.
Your Can’t-Miss Celestial Dates:
Late May: A Jupiter-Uranus trine brings a sudden, lucky opportunity linking home/family and innovative ideas. Say yes. August: Sun-Jupiter conjunction in Leo ignites your creative sector. Your most playful, heartfelt work gets stellar recognition. September 14th: The Pisces Lunar Eclipse is your personal new year. Set powerful intentions. October: Venus conjunct North Node in Libra. The relationship moment of the year. Be open, courageous, and gracious. December: Mars in Capricorn trines your natal Sun. A surge of disciplined energy to launch a dream project as the year closes.
Your Guiding Wisdom for 2026: "You are the ancient riverbed through which the future wishes to flow. Your compassion is your strength; your disciplined dream is your offering. Build your altar not just in the quiet chapel of your heart, but in the bustling marketplace of the world. Let them see the magic that happens when a Pisces decides to build castles, not just dream of them."
This is your year to anchor your dreams in the earthly realm. The cosmos supports you in becoming a wise elder of the heart, a creative patriarch, and a spiritual journeyman—all at once. Age is the depth of the ocean you now command.
Navigate well, wise soul. The stars are your allies.
The Cosmic Chronicler
Sounds as good as any. We shall see. We are not trying to turn this into a belief system, or a lifestyle. Not even a guide. A parallel Universe, let’s call it. When CC says make exercise more like play – We’ve been doing that for [dayum] the last six years. Hiking as fun and not a chore. On point! Our Urban Expeditions – 3 to 5 mile hikes to buy groceries. Chore. Hiking paths and woods are rare around here. Plenty of green patches, but no forests.
Anyway. We are very confident to get our hundreds in. Ten more pushups and 25 more biceps curls to complete that goal. Still early yet so we can maybe get some shoulder presses in and still be strong enough to hit the gym tomorrow.
There are still a few activities We can pull off without AI – speaking of which, the vessel completed 100 pushups. Ten sets of ten. We still got it. Shoulder has become stronger. The shoulder ache kept Us away for a while. We surpassed the 100 curls goal. We can walk without AI and lift weights without AI. Today was a lovely start of this year. Did you hear Clif’s description? The Chrysalis of Chaos? I love it. Advice for 2026 – Hold tight to yourself. If you can pull it off. Your humble vagabond has been living like this since at least 2006. Dayum! Twenty years. I have gotten pretty good at it.
One down, 364 to go!

Daily Blog Extra Just Like Heaven It’s been retailing for over $8.00 [40 oz and I don’t mean malt liquor] but today I saw it on sale for less than $6.00. I scooped it up. Small gifts of abundance make me happy. We are still connected and still savvy. Great day to start the year. The doomsayers took it easy on Us today. Different plots and scenarios tossed about. The overlap is the Ukraine War is lost. What comes next is anybody’s guess. Hmmm - Build back better? Anybody. Anybody? Bueller? We don’t worry about that stuff. The Ukrainian kids here — some of them at least, are learning Spanish before they learn English. If I had the patience I would put my ESL cert in gear and hire myself out. Tapped into the Cosmos and pulled down an astrological forecast for the year. All the cool kids are doing it and I didn’t want to be left out. FOMO. Is that still a thing? Scented candles and Indian Musk incense make cold nights in South Florida cozy and calm. Stay safe.
