THE ANTINOUS LUNUS MOON

THE CANCER FULL MOON 


TONIGHT's Cancer Full Moon is the lunar phase we call the LUNUS MOON in Antinous Moon Magic — the Moon of Moons!

This is a Full Moon which brings out powerful emotions. Because this Full Moon always occurs during December/January, it is emotional farewell to the old year and heart-felt welcoming of the new year.

You will shed sentimental tears for loved ones you have lost during the past year, not to mention a job or other things you may have lost.


Each lunar phase represents a Divine Spirit or Archetype. The Spirit of Lunus is Antinous the Moon God. It is your His lunar divine self.

Antinous the Gay God was worshiped in ancient times as a lunar deity. The "Man in the Moon" was actually the "Blessed Boy in the Moon" to the ancient worshipers of Antinous.

The Spirit of the Lunus Moon is the spirit of emotions, unconscious habits, rhythms, memories and moods. It is also your dreams and nostalgia. Lunus is the personification of the unconscious mind and it is all dreams and visions.

The OBELISK OF ANTINOUS states that he hears the prayers of his worshipers and sends them healing visions as they slumber. Lunus is the personification of intuition and mediumistic abilities.

Lunus is clairvoyance itself. Lunus is also the bringer of nightmares, fears, traumas and irrational emotional imbalance.

Just as the Moon moves the tides, Lunus brings emotional fluctuations. Lunus is inconstancy, inconsistency and flux. As the phases of the moon change, so Lunus is all things which flow and fluctuate. It is all things which come and go like the tides.
 

Tonight's Lunus Moon is a propitious time for meditations and rituals delving into your emotional state of being, and also for intuitive or clairvoyant trances.
Antinous Astrology Forecast

DEC 27 2012 to JAN 6 2013


THURSDAY December 27th 2012

On Thursday Saturn and Pluto form a sextile which prods you into clearing up the mess and leftovers from the holidays. Saturn/Pluto can be VERY persnickety. You may feel like cleaning the fridge with a tooth brush.


FRIDAY December 28th 2012

On Friday, we come full circle with the CANCER FULL MOON which was the first full moon of January 2012 and which now rounds out the year. In Antinous Moon Magic this is the LUNUS MOON — the Moon of Moons! This is a Full Moon which brings out powerful emotions. Because this Full Moon always occurs during December/January, it is emotional farewell to the old year and heart-felt welcoming of the new year. You will shed sentimental tears for loved ones you have lost during the past year, not to mention a job or other things you may have lost. This is an evening to kiss and make up and forgive those who have hurt you. The combination of sensitive Cancer Moon and practical Capricorn Sun gives you the emotional courage to overcome your stubborn pride and open your heart to those whom you will need during the New Year 2013.


SATURDAY/SUNDAY Dec. 29th/30th 2012

The final weekend of 2012 is likely to be intensely distressing on many levels when the Sun aligns with Pluto in Capricorn just hours before the Sun also forms an intense aspect to Saturn. The Sun shines a light on dirty dealings and black secrets which have been concealed all year, or even longer. The old year is going out with a bang.


MONDAY December 31st 2012

On New Year's Eve Mercury sets the tone for a sober and serious New Year 2013 by leaving optimistic Sagittarius and plodding into dour Capcricorn. While Sadge Mercury said, "Yes, we can," practical-minded Capricorn Mercury asks, "Well, perhaps we can ... but if so, it will entail a lot of hard work and planning." It also means the next four weeks will be dreary and unimaginative, but nonetheless a good time for knuckling down and saying what has to be said.


TUESDAY January 1st 2012

On New Year's Day your hangover gives you a more than usually foggy head when ANTINOUS THE MOON GOD is in opposition to nebulous Neptune. Pay attention to dreams and unexpected messages from unusual sources when Mars is sextile Uranus and Mercury is in an intuitive aspect to Neptune.


WEDNESDAY January 2nd 2012

On Wednesday it's time to roll up your sleeves and tackle the New Year full on when the duty-minded Virgo Moon forms industrious aspects to Jupiter, Pluto and Saturn.


THURSDAY January 3rd 2012

On Thursday a startling new idea will come to you from out of no where when Mercury forms a sextile to Uranus. This will most likely be something that comes to you from some Aquarian source such as a social network. This is a propitious day to overcome your stubborn inhibitions and finally register to follow Antinous the Gay God on FACEBOOK and TWITTER.


FRIDAY January 4th 2012

On Friday hope and confidence fill the atmosphere when we come to the LIBRA THIRD QUARTER MOON, which we call the CROSSROADS MOON. It is a time for setting a new course, possibly changing course, setting out in a new direction. It is about making a decision. The key is not to worry about which choice to make. The key is to make a choice and go ahead with it. This air of fearless optimism is underscored by a trine between Mars and Jupiter. Remember that song from the musical "HAIR" back in the '60s: "... when Jupiter aligns with Mars, then peace will guide the planets and love will steer the stars."


SATURDAY/SUNDAY January 5th/6th 2012

On Saturday and Sunday the optimism of that Mars/Jupiter aspect creates a joyful glow for a power-filled weekend. Inventive Mercury aligns in conjunction with renovation-prone Pluto in practical Capricorn. This alignment gives you the impetus you need to find new solutions to old problems and to jetison tired-out notions.


SNEAK PREVIEW OF NEXT WEEK:

Another exciting week lies ahead between January 7th and 13th when Venus leaves joyous Sagittarius and reluctantly enters dry and dusty Capricorn where, for the next four weeks, Venus will be more interested in practical function than in beauteous form. More details next time ....

THE MOON 'ECLIPSES' JUPITER

FOR A SPECIAL NIGHT OF MAGIC



ANTINOUS Moon Magic is enhanced tonight when the Moon "eclipses" Jupiter — when Antinous as Lunar Deity merges with Hadrian the Divine Jupiter.

Technically, this is a JUPITER OCCULTATION. If you live at just the right place on Earth, you'll be able to watch the moon occult — cover over — the planet Jupiter for up to an hour.

While the Moon passes by Jupiter every month, only very rarely does it pass directly in front of Jupiter. This year is special because the Moon will occult Jupiter ten times between June 2012 and February 18th 2013.


In ANTINOUS MOON MAGIC Jupiter symbolizes Emperor Hadrian and the Moon stands for Antinous. In Classical Mythology, Jupiter/Zeus inseminated many mortals, siring many demigods, among them Pollux, Hercules and Dionysus (all three possessing ambiguous sexual orientation). 

In conventional astrology, Moon-Occult-Jupiter is an optimal time for becoming pregnant. But in ANTINOUS MOON MAGIC it is the night for magically inseminating your spiritual self so as to bring forth or "give birth to" divine and enduring works.

On the OBELISK OF ANTINOUS, cryptic Egyptian hieroglyphs assert that the "Semen of the First God" flows through Antinous — a reference to the Egyptian creation myth about the first deity, who ejaculated into his own mouth and spoke the magical words of creation which produced all the gods and goddesses and the universe.

The Moon-Jupiter Occultation is the perfect night for ANTINOUS MOON MAGIC rituals aimed at opening your spiritual self to the magical power of Hadrian and Antinous so that the "Semen of the First God" flows through you to bring forth ideas of a divine and enduring nature.

Antinous Astrology Forecast

DECEMBER 20 to 31, 2012


THURSDAY December 20th 2012

On Thursday there's new chance for Yuletide love when Venus and Uranus form a trine and ANTINOUS THE MOON GOD is in a sexy sextile to Mars. Meanwhile, the Sun and Moon square off for the PISCES FIRST QUARTER MOON which, in Antinous Moon Magic, is the CONSORTIUM MOON of gay matchmaking. These aspects by these major planets color the whole rest of the week. So if you were thinking of staying home and not going to that holiday lunch or dinner party, think again. Someone special could be waiting under the mistletoe for you.


FRIDAY December 21st 2012

On Friday at 11:11 a.m. Universal Time (midday in the UK and Europe) we finally come to that fateful date everyone has been talking about for years — the December 21, 2012, Solstice. That is the final date in the Mayan Long Count calendar. Despite all the croakings of doom by alarmists, we do not believe that the December Solstice 2012 is the end of the world. But we do believe it is the end of an exceedingly long cycle called The Great Year which lasts for 26,000 years. It is the end of a Great Cycle. But it is also the beginning of the next one. It is an ending — but not the end of the world. It is the darkness just before dawn. That twilight began with the discovery of the planet Uranus in 1781. Uranus is the planet of abrupt "eureka" discoveries and just think how our world has been revolutionized since 1781! Then in 1996 Uranus entered its home sign of Aquarius, which many consider the true dawning of the Age of Aquarius, which marks the first 2,000-year segment of the new Great Year which will last 26,000 years. Aquarius Uranus also heralded the founding of the New Religion of Antinous by Flamen Antonyus Subia. Perhaps the Solstice marks the beginning of the Age of Antinous/Aquarius. We cannot say what will happen except that Aquarius is not only beneficent and altruistic but also somewhat cold and brainy-rationalistic. Above all, Aquarius loves change for the sake of change ... anything can happen ... and it will happen way differently than anything we can imagine. No, the world won't come to an end on 21st December 2012 — not the climactic way it did at the movies. But in a few short years we will begin to see that the world is becoming vastly different — just remember that this change began back in 1781 — and it is now moving to warp speed.


SATURDAY/SUNDAY Dec. 22nd/23rd 2012

This Solstice/Yuletide weekend will be problematic on the political and global economic level. But on the personal level you can expect a pleasant weekend. Just don't expect timetables to be reliable. That's because the Sun is in a sextile to foggy nebulous Neptune while the Moon is at right angles to Mars. Your best-laid plans will go awry for sure. Also, love planet Venus is in opposition to exaggeration-prone Jupiter — a recipe for over-indulgence in food, drink and Yuletide revelry.


MONDAY December 24th 2012

If you are spending the holidays with non-pagan friends or family, you can expect an unusually quiet Christmas Eve when the placid Taurus Moon engages in absolutely no major aspects. If you're doing last-minute shopping, of course, that means you can expect annoying delays and frustration because everything moves in slow-motion. It is like that old poem, "'Twas the night before Christmas and all through the house not a creature was stirring not even a mouse ...."


TUESDAY December 25th 2012

On Tuesday you should batten down the hatches for potentially unpleasant surprise encounters when ANTINOUS THE MOON GOD squares off to vague Neptune while engaging in strong aspects to aggressive Mars and impetuous Uranus. Family arguments are inevitable. Just saying ....


WEDNESDAY December 26th 2012

On Wednesday Mars leaves stodgy Capricorn and enters rational, logical Aquarius — the Warrior Planet Mars becomes First Officer Spock! Aquarius Mars carries out his "battles" on a highly cerebral level. This is the nerd who loves 3-D chess and computer games. Mars in Aquarius signals a time when emotions are sublimated as people engage in mind games. That is not a bad thing — as long as people don't get so caught up in the chatter of their brains that they forget to listen to their hearts.


THURSDAY December 27th 2012

On Thursday Saturn and Pluto form a sextile which prods you into clearing up the mess and leftovers from the holidays. Saturn/Pluto can be VERY persnickety. You may feel like cleaning the fridge with a tooth brush.


FRIDAY December 28th 2012

On Friday, we come full circle with the CANCER FULL MOON which was the first full moon of January 2012 and which now rounds out the year. In Antinous Moon Magic this is the LUNUS MOON — the Moon of Moons! This is a Full Moon which brings out powerful emotions.

This is an evening to kiss and make up and forgive those who have hurt you. The combination of sensitive Cancer Moon and practical Capricorn Sun gives you the emotional courage to overcome your stubborn pride and open your heart to those whom you will need during the New Year 2013.


SATURDAY/SUNDAY Dec. 29th/30th 2012

The final weekend of 2012 is likely to be intensely distressing on many levels when the Sun aligns with Pluto in Capricorn just hours before the Sun also forms an intense aspect to Saturn. The Sun shines a light on dirty dealings and black secrets which have been concealed all year, or even longer. The old year is going out with a bang.

It also means the next four weeks will be dreary and unimaginative, but nonetheless a good time for knuckling down and saying what has to be said.


SNEAK PREVIEW OF NEXT WEEK:

Another exciting week lies ahead between January 1st and 8th when the first weekend of the New Year 2013 features a bright trine between go-to-it Mars and optimistic Jupiter which signals hope and confidence ahead. More details next time ....

THE ANTINOUS CONSORTIUM MOON

THE PISCES FIRST QUARTER MOON


TONIGHT's Pisces First Quarter Moon in Antinous Moon Magic is the CONSORTIUM MOON of social interaction, reconciliation and marital union.

Because it always occurs in December or January, the Consortium Moon represents the cyclical nature of the year, the ending of one year and the beginning of a new year. 

The end of one cycle automatically marks the beginning of a new cycle.

Each Lunar Phase represents a Divine Spirit or Archetype. The Spirit of the Consortium Moon is the Spirit of Togetherness.

This Spirit revels in closed circles, rings and ties that bind. It is the Spirit of every collaboration, group, association, alliance, team, fellowship, marriage, club or confederation.

It is the tangible feeling of togetherness and belonging people share when working towards a common goal.

Tonight is a beneficent night for meditation or rituals concerning relationships and all things that are bound by a circle. In health matters, it refers to blood and the circulatory system. This is the Lunar phase of the Circle of Life, the inter-connectedness of all things.

The key words are: Partnership. Alliance. Union. Marriage. Commitment. Circle. Ring. Group. Binding Agreement. Obligation to Others. It represents every sort of societal bond or binding alliance as symbolized by a wedding ring or the iron ring of Roman citizenship.

Antinous Astrology Forecast

DECEMBER 13 to 23, 2012


THURSDAY December 13th 2012

Very early on Thursday (just 45 minutes after midnight Hollywood time) ANTINOUS THE MOON GOD aligns in conjunction with his heavenly father Ra-Herakhte for the SAGITTARIUS NEW MOON. In Antinous Moon Magic, this is the lunar phase we call the FORTUNA MOON. This is the classic good luck moon of the astrological year. Underscoring this spirit of good fortune, Uranus ends its Retrograde phase to start going forward again, bringing an end to frustrations you may have had over the course of the past five months. It's time to let go of the past and try your luck with something new. The FORTUNA MOON tells you: "Try your luck!"


FRIDAY December 14th 2012

On Friday the work week ends with an unexpected message, letter, email or phone call when chatty Sagittarius Mercury forms a trine with impetuous Uranus, now moving forward after five months of Retrograde frustrations. Don't be surprised when you get news of some project, enquiry or friendship you thought had been lost forever.


SATURDAY/SUNDAY Dec. 15th/16th 2012

Overnight Saturday/Sunday Venus joins the Sun and Mercury in jovial Sagittarius, leaving behind the murky moodiness of Scorpio for another year. Sagittarius Venus is supremely optimistic and eager to give everybody the benefit of the doubt when it comes to trust in matters of love. This is in stark contrast to wary suspicions which abounded when Venus was in Scorpio. For the next six weeks, Sadge Venus encourages you to give love a chance.


MONDAY December 17th 2012

On Monday an event-filled work week gets off to a roaring start when Mercury and Jupiter are in opposition to each other. You can expect to feel optimistic, even perhaps a bit too optimistic. Don't forget to pay attention to the little details and the small print.


TUESDAY December 18th 2012

On Tuesday ANTINOUS THE MOON GOD is at right angles to Venus, Jupiter and Mercury while forming positive aspects to Saturn and Pluto. You start off in a dreamy mood and only slowly get up to speed on projects that have to be done. You get them done, but it takes some willpower.


WEDNESDAY/THURSDAY Dec. 19th/20th 2012

On Wednesday/Thursday there's new chance for Yuletide love when Venus and Uranus form a trine and ANTINOUS THE MOON GOD is in a sexy sextile to Mars. Meanwhile, the Sun and Moon square off for the PISCES FIRST QUARTER MOON which, in Antinous Moon Magic, is the CONSORTIUM MOON of gay matchmaking.

THE ANTINOUS FORTUNA MOON
THE SAGITTARIUS NEW MOON


TONIGHT's Sagittarius New Moon is when ANTINOUS THE MOON GOD aligns in conjunction with his heavenly father Ra-Herakhte at the end of the year. 

In Antinous Moon Magic, this is the lunar phase we call the FORTUNA MOON. This is the classic good luck moon of the astrological year.

Each Lunar Phase represents a Divine Spirit or Archetype. The Spirit of the Fortuna Moon is the Spirit of Victory and Success.

This Spirit is the embodiment of the proverbial happy ending, the sweet smell of success, the incredible run of luck, the feather in one's cap, the stroke of genius, the jackpot, the mother lode. 

Antinous is holding a bottomless cornucopia with a powerful serpent wrapped around the cornucopia to enhance its power and ensure that nothing untoward can possible occur.

Antinous during this Lunar Phase is the personification of Good Fortune, the one for whom everything is coming up roses. He wraps his arm around your shoulder and says, "Trust your luck. Trust me." 

The is the best lunar cycle of the year for casting oracles, reading the runes or the cards or working spells for success in the coming year.

THE ANTINOUS AESCULAPIUS MOON

THE VIRGO THIRD QUARTER MOON


TONIGHT's Virgo Third Quarter Moon brings down powerful healing energies to ring out the calendar year on a propitious note. 

In Antinous Moon Magic, we call this the AESCULAPIUS MOON in honor of the Classical god of the physician's art, Aesculapius.

Aesculapius, as he was called by the Romans, was also called Asklepios or Asclepius by the Greeks. 

He was the son of APOLLO and the Trikkaian princess KORONIS

His mother died in labor and was laid out on the pyre to be consumed, but his father rescued the child, cutting him from her womb. 

From this he received the name Asklepios "to cut open." The boy was raised by the kentauros (centaur) CHIRON who instructed him in the art of medicine. 

Aesculapius grew so skilled in the craft that he was able to restore the dead to life. However, because this was a crime against the natural order, JUPITER/ZEUS destroyed him with a thunderbolt. After his death Aesculapius was placed amongst the stars as OPHIUCHUS ("the Serpent Holder"), sometimes called the 13th sign of the Zodiac

Some say his mother was also set in the heavens as Corvus, the crow (korônê in Greek). Aesculapius' APOTHEOSIS into godhood occurred at the same time. He was sometimes identified with Homer's PAION, the physician of the gods, as well as the Egyptian god of science, architecture and medicine IMHOTEP.

Aesculapius is depicted as a handsome man holding a serpent-entwined staff representing his powers to convert poison (venom) into medicine.

It is the source of the symbol which alchemists, pharmacists and physicians have used throughout the centuries to represent their medicinal prowess

The cult and cult statues of Aesculapius were widespread throughout the ancient world.

In Antinous Moon Magic, each Lunar Phase represents a Divine Spirit or Archetype. The Spirit of the Aesculapius Moon is the Spirit of Remedies and Repairs.

This Spirit heals all that is ill, it remedies all that is out of order and it repairs all that is broken. This Spirit sees damage and destruction and sets about putting things right again.

It sees ailment and finds a cure. It sees cracks which could lead to catastrophic failure and it mends them before they can spread. It sees suffering and alleviates all that  it can.

This Spirit is the embodiment of the human desire to leave imperfection behind and to become Divine.
 

Meditation and rituals carried out during the cycle of the Aesculapius Moon are ideal for bringing down healing energies for yourself and others in your life.
