THE ARIES NEW MOON THE FASCES MOON OF ANTINOUS

TONIGHT Antinous the Moon God aligns with his heavenly father Ra-Herakhte for the Aries New Moon which we call the FASCES MOON.

The Aries New Moon is the moon of abrupt beginnings which may not be followed through, and of things said which are later regretted, of capricious actions ... shoot first, ask questions later. If you have been stalling on starting something new ... now is the time to go for it. Others will warn you that you should exercise caution ... but the Fasces Moon says "no pain, no gain" and urges you to press forward.

Each Lunar Phase represents a Divine Spirit or Archetype. The Spirit of the Fasces Moon is the embodiment of blunt forcefulness. This spirit is plain-spoken, candid, spares no feelings and is not afraid to humiliate or offend. It is sharp-tongued and aggressive. It carries a weapon and is not afraid to use it.

It metes out punishment and retribution willingly and without hesitation. It enjoys inflicting pain. It uses pain as its keenest and sharpest weapon, because pain elicits a reflexive response where lesser warnings may go unheeded.

This Spirit holds a knife to your throat and says: No pain, no gain! It wields a sword and shouts: Might makes right! It skillfully uses a scalpel to cut out a cancerous growth, saying: This will hurt terribly, but it will save your life!

The ancient Roman fasces was a bundle of wooden sticks with an ax blade emerging from the center, which is an image that traditionally symbolizes the force of Roman law and might.

They were carried by the lictors who accompanied the magistrates. The ax represents the force of punishment and the power over life or death.

During times of emergencies when the Roman Republic declared a dictatorship (dictatura), lictors attending to the dictator kept the ax-blades even inside the Pomerium ... a sign that the dictator wielded ultimate force of law and could mete out punishment as he saw fit.

Meditations and rituals tonight should focus on new projects or new beginnings. Perhaps you want to break a habit or undertake a bold new enterprise. Tonight's Fasces Moon gives you the kick-start you need to go ahead.

This is also a good night to focus on areas in your life where assertiveness is out of balance ... perhaps you are being overly assertive. But more likely, you are deficient in self-assertiveness.

Many gay men have a hard time asserting themselves. We equate assertiveness with "aggression" and "being a bully." And so, many of us gay men go through our lives trying to stifle and suppress any sort of assertiveness. We try to be good little boys ... all of our lives.

And yet ... each of us is born with Fasces Moon  energy in abundance. It always finds a way to get out and exert itself. If we spend our lives suppressing this energy, then it seeps out in destructive ways. We have problems with pent-up rage. We have problems with self-destructive habits. We build an impenetrable shield of fear and disdain around ourselves.

We are afraid of being hurt. And we are afraid of hurting others. So we hurt ourselves instead. Our lives turn into chaos.

The Fasces Moon is about standing up for yourself and confronting your fears ... above all, your fear of baring your true self to others. It is about turning your weaknesses into your strengths. It is about transforming destructive energies into constructive ones. It is about finding ... and fulfilling ... your destiny ....

ASTRO FORECAST: MARCH 27 — APRIL 6, 2014

Antinous Astrology Forecast

MARCH 27 to April 6, 2014

---

THURSDAY MARCH 27, 2014

On Thursday you feel you are spinning your wheels emotionally and workwise when ANTINOUS THE MOON GOD goes VOID OF COURSE for 10 hours for the second time this week — from early morning until late evening in the Americas and Europe. And once again, Mars is the last planet the Moon encounters before going VOC. That means these 10 hours promise to be particularly dour and frustrating, a time when nothing seems to go right.

FRIDAY MARCH 28, 2014

On Friday the work week ends on a power-filled note when Mercury and Pluto form a productive sextile configuration. You will cut a good figure in business and professional dealings and will be particularly articulate.

SATURDAY MARCH 29, 2014

On Saturday relationship issues are at the forefront when Venus is in a positive trine with Mars but is in a difficult square with Saturn. Some problems which have been in the background for the longest time may suddenly come to the forefront in startling clarity. But the Venus/Mars trine enables you to tackle them in a constructive and loving yet assertive manner.

SUNDAY MARCH 30, 2014

On Sunday ANTINOUS THE MOON GOD aligns with his heavenly father Ra-Herakhte for the Aries New Moon which we call the FASCES MOON. The Aries New Moon is the moon of abrupt beginnings which may not be followed through, and of things said which are later regretted, of capricious actions — shoot first, ask questions later. If you have been stalling on starting something new ... now is the time to go for it. Others will warn you that you should exercise caution ... but the Fasces Moon says "no pain, no gain" and urges you to press forward.

MONDAY-THURSDAY MARCH 31-APRIL 3, 2014

Okay, we have never done a combined forecast for four days before ... but this is an extreme situation. Quite honestly, astrologers worldwide are not entirely sure what will transpire this week ... because the configurations are so rare that they have not occurred in centuries. We're talking about the "T"-Square configuration involving Jupiter, Uranus and Pluto which becomes exacerbated this week when the Sun aligns with Uranus in the fire sign Aries ruled by the war god Mars. This "T"-Square first caused trouble back in August 2013 but it is erupting with renewed force this week as Retrograde Mars and Saturn make things even worse.

Some astrologers are issuing dire warnings of war and natural catastrophes. But we feel it is more helpful to offer constructive advice. And the stars this week do, indeed, offer some constructive pointers.

Remember the old story about how the mighty oak tree is toppled by a storm which fails to break bamboo ... because bamboo bends and yields ... and survives the gale-force winds. The more flexible you are during these trying days and weeks to come, the better your chances are of not only coming through unharmed ... but also of thriving in the aftermath.

At the same time, seize new opportunities which emerge from the chaos. When the mighty oak tree collapses at your feet, gather up the acorns and store all that lovely oak for building and furnishing your new abode. Turn the potential for tragedy into a potential for triumph.

FRIDAY APRIL 4, 2014

On Friday, confidence returns when ANTINOUS THE MOON GOD squares off against intuitive Neptune and is in positive sextile aspect to Uranus and the Sun. Of course, aftershocks from the inauspicious aspects from Thursday are still reverberating through the Cosmos, but the atmosphere brightens considerably and you begin to recognize that you have a wealth of capabilities and talents within yourself.

SATURDAY APRIL 5, 2014

On Saturday the weekend gets off to a passionate start when Venus leaves emotionally cold Aquarius for the romantic depths of Pisces. This sign change marks a major change not only in love but also in finances. Pisces Venus is not only loving and compassionate but also creative and generous. The motto for the next six weeks is: "Give, and you shall receive!"

SUNDAY APRIL 6, 2014

On Sunday we come to the Cancer First Quarter Moon. It is the Lunar Phase of reflection and insight which we call the NARCISSUS MOON in Antinous Moon Magic ... Narcissus is the Spirit which tunes out all distractions and all other people in order to focus on the Divinity within. This Lunar Phase is the Spirit of Self-Love and Same-Sex Love. It is forever gazing into its own reflection and whispering to itself: You are Divine! The reflection and the viewer are one and the same. The Spirit of Narcissus is the Divinity which holds a mirror up to ourselves.

SNEAK PREVIEW OF NEXT WEEK:

Another exciting week lies ahead between April 7 and 13 when we come to the Libra Full Moon ... the lunar cycle we call the ORATOR MOON of diplomacy and balanced thinking. This is the perfect time for fulfilling dreams of finding just the right partner, the person who balances out your needs and desires perfectly. But remember that diplomacy is the key. Each Lunar Phase represents a Divine Spirit or Archetype. The Spirit of the Orator Moon is the embodiment of articulate expression in all forms and in all media, whether spoken, written or visual .... More details next time ....

THE HADRIAN'S WALL MOON OF BARRIERS THE CAPRICORN THIRD QUARTER MOON

TONIGHT's Capricorn Third Quarter Moon is the Lunar Phase which, in Antinous Moon Magic, we call the HADRIAN'S WALL MOON of stubborn intransigence and immovable barriers.

Each Lunar Phase represents a Divine Spirit or Archetype. The Spirit of the Hadrian's Wall Lunar Phase is the embodiment of hindrances and blockages.

It is the personification of all that stands in your way. It is all barriers and obstacles to progress.

This Spirit locks you up in a prison cell, either literally or figuratively.

It rises up like a mountain to see if you have the stamina and ingenuity to scale it or get around it. But remember that Hadrian's Wall was not impregnable. It was not particularly high. It was not meant to be an impenetrable barrier, but only a hindrance to mass assault or rampant smuggling of goods and livestock.

Thus this Spirit is not insurmountable. It can be overcome, a way can be found around, under, over or through it. This Spirit challenges you to find that way.

The key words are: Barrier. Hindrance. Setback. Confinement. Blockage. Unyielding stubbornness.

This can be a physical barrier, but it can also be an emotional, financial, job or relationship "prison" which blocks your progress.

Meditations and rituals conducted tonight are best suited for focusing on blockages in your life, situations and issues which prevent you from moving forward. 

These can be manifested by persons or situations around you. But most often, we find during meditations on this night that we have erected prison walls around ourselves, we are blocking ourselves from the freedom we so earnestly desire. 

This Lunar Phase is saying it is time to break out!

THURSDAY MARCH 20, 2014

On Thursday energy levels get a boost when the Sun enters Aries for the Equinox ... first day of Spring in the Northern Hemisphere and first day of autumn in the Southern Hemisphere. The Equinox is the start of the astrological new year. This is the first day of Spring for those of you in the Northern Hemisphere and the first day of Autumn for our brothers in the Southern Hemisphere. Either way, this EQUINOX is the traditional starting gun for new starts and new projects.

FRIDAY MARCH 21, 2014

On Friday the work weed ends on a note of efficiency when ANTINOUS THE MOON GOD aligns in perfect conjunction with industrious Saturn. A real nose-to-the-grindstone kind of day which will leave you eager to get out and party Friday night.

SATURDAY MARCH 22, 2014

On Saturday the sky is the limit and your mind is freed of restrictions when Mercury aligns in conjunction with intuitive Neptune. The up side of this alignment is that your imagination provides you with boundless inspiration. The down side is that you open yourself to being deluded by others ... or by yourself.

SUNDAY MARCH 23, 2014

On Sunday we come to the Capricorn Third Quarter Moon which, in Antinous Moon Magic, we call the HADRIAN'S WALL MOON of stubborn intransigence and immovable barriers.

TUESDAY MARCH 25, 2014

On Tuesday your emotional roller-coaster hits rock bottom when ANTINOUS THE MOON GOD goes VOID OF COURSE for 10 hours — from early morning until late evening in the Americas and Europe.

WEDNESDAY MARCH 26, 2014

On Wednesday be sure to buy a mid-week lottery ticket when Mercury aligns with lucky Jupiter in a fortuitous trine ... something which happens only twice a year.

THURSDAY MARCH 27, 2014

THE VIRGO FULL MOON THE DIANA MOON OF ANTINOUS

TONIGHT's Virgo Full Moon is the February/March moon of sisterhood, of kindred spirits in whom you can confide, the Full Moon in the Sign the Virgin.

The Virgo Moon is always a tense time of trying not to be obsessive-compulsive and overly critical.

In Antinous Moon Magic this full moon is called the DIANA MOON. We recognize that the Moon of Diana is the Moon of Antinous. We venerate the Virgin, she who guides new life into the world, goddess of beasts, the mistress of the hounds, the archeress, the young Great Mother of Ephesus, the twin sister of Antinous the Gay God.

Diana is loving and compassionate, but she is rigorously demanding and picky.

Each Lunar Phase represents a Divine Spirit or Archetype. The Spirit of Diana is the great huntress, the goddess of the moon and twin sister to Antinous.

The key word is "sisterhood" ... without gender limitations. A sister is someone who is closer even than your best friend. She is your twin, just as Diana and Antinous are twins.

When you are going through a difficult time, you may hesitate to call even your best friends because you do not want to burden them with your troubles. This is when you need a sister.

This can be a biological sibling, but more often it is a person who, regardless of gender and kinship, is your most intimate confidante. A sister is someone who, at times like these, sincerely wants to be there for you whenever she can. And she knows you are always there for her. When you do this, you invite your sister to bring her whole self to the relationship as well ... so that Diana and Antinous are one.

During the cycle of the Diana Moon, meditations and rituals are best suited for delving into sibling issues as well as seeking the advice of your spiritual twin ... whether a physical being or a spiritual entity.

THURSDAY MARCH 13, 2014

On Thursday your gay intuition shifts into high gear for the second time this week when the meditative Pisces Sun forms a water-sign trine with thorough-going Scorpio Saturn. You can get to the bottom of the darkest and most mysterious secrets. The question, of course, is whether you truly want to know the answers you may dredge up.

FRIDAY MARCH 14, 2014

On Friday your work week ends with a bang when Mercury and Mars form a powerful trine to give you the verbiage you need to pound out your point and get your righteous argument across to others. Don't be shy and modest. Things need to be said and the air needs to be cleared before you go home for the weekend.

SATURDAY MARCH 15, 2014

On Saturday the impending Virgo Full Moon gives you the guilt-driven energy you need to do those household and garden chores that have been piling up for way too long. The neighbors might complain. Unexpected guests could drop by. You mustn't let things slide. Well, the Virgo Moon is good at making you feel guilty about things, so you might as well utilize those energies to tidy up the house and weed the garden. Unexpected guests really might drop by ....

SUNDAY MARCH 16, 2014

On Sunday you may find yourself feeling a bit guilty, a bit self-critical, a bit inadequate. That's the Virgo Full Moon ... but in Antinous Moon Magic, this is the DIANA MOON ... the moon of sisterhood, of kindred spirits in whom you can confide ... and a "sister" need not be blood related ... or even female ... you have a "sister" and Sunday's full moon helps you find her. Give her a call, text her, message her on Facebook ... pour out your heart to your sister ... that's what sisters are there for.

MONDAY MARCH 17, 2014

On Monday logic takes a backseat to emotions when Mercury leaves intellectual Aquarius and dives into the sensitive waters of Pisces. In Pisces, Mercury sees life more like an impressionistic painting than one done in the realistic style. Sounds, images, shapes, memory, psychic impressions, emotional tones ... all these are absorbed as part of an overall perception. Mercury in Pisces picks up on subtleties in the atmosphere that Aquarius Mercury might not have picked up on. You can expect to be increasingl dreamy and tuned in to some distant message or inner vision.

TUESDAY MARCH 18, 2014

On Tuesday be sure to take a chance on love when Venus and Uranus form a sextile. Whether you single or in a committed relationship, people will be flirting like crazy today. People are looking for something new and different ... also when it comes to business and work opportunities.

WEDNESDAY MARCH 19, 2014

On Wednesday you will be feeling like a March Hare when ANTINOUS THE MOON GOD aligns in conjunction with Libra Mars. You want action and you want it now! No shilly-shallying will be tolerated. Roll up your sleeves and get to it.

THURSDAY MARCH 20, 2014

On Thursday energy levels get a boost when the Sun enters Aries for the Equinox ... first day of Spring in the Northern Hemisphere and first day of autumn in the Southern Hemisphere.

THE ANTINOUS JACKAL MOON THE GEMINI FIRST QUARTER MOON

TONIGHT's Gemini First Quarter moon is the lunar phase we call the JACKAL MOON in Antinous Moon Magic.

Each Lunar Phase represents a Divine Spirit or Archetype. The Spirit of the Jackal in Antinous oracular arts is the embodiment of cunning and skill and sleight-of-hand and being slightly dodgy and sneaky but also being incredibly adept and learned in the ways of the world.

Think of the jackal sneaking through the night, or think of a fox sneaking into a chicken coop. Or think of a coyote ... sly, foxy, intelligent, just out of sight. But these are not entirely negative energies, of course.

Each of us needs wily abilities to get through life. We need to tell a white lie now and then or to turn on the charm to get past some obstreperous person or to ferret out the best way to get something done ... by hook or by crook.

Faced with an uphill legal battle to prove your innocence, you need a cunning and sharp-witted lawyer who knows all the tricks in the book in order for justice to prevail.

The Jackal is very positive in the sense that it provides us with slyness, quick-wittedness, good strategies skills and the ability to sniff out danger ... the way a coyote does.

The negative down side is that it encourages us to forget the fine line between truth and fiction, and it encourages us to play false and cheat to get our way. Although, that having been said, the Jackal says that Truth is sometimes a variable and vague thing, and what seems false can sometimes turn out to have been the truly right thing to do.

The Gemini First Quarter Moon is the March moon of the Trickster, who taunts and teases, who plays tricks, who leads the soul through dark and treacherous passages ... who is more treacherous than any Underworld foe ... but whose cunning enables him to bring his charges to their goal.

Meditations and rituals carried out tonight are best suited for looking beyond the the veil of lies and deceit that others (or we ourselves) throw over our eyes to prevent us from seeing clearly. This is also a very good night for finding canny and cunning solutions to difficult problems ... strategies for out-smarting those who seek to pull the wool over our eyes.

The vibration of this lovely Lunar Phase has a number of other positive attributes, including its action to help you to release anger and by making you aware of your personal power. This energy also aids you to be aware of anyone who tries to take advantage of you, and to deal with this in a new creative way.

MARCH 6 to 16, 2014

THURSDAY MARCH 6, 2014

On Thursday Jupiter turns direct at 10 Cancer, which allows the expansive emotional connections to bring new people into your life. Jupiter has pushed you beyond your comfort zone and now that Jupiter is turning direct, more people will be venturing into your life to connect and communicate in ways that are important to you. New information seems to stream in opening the doors of communication as you reach out to connect with people, sharing your common perspective.

But if you live in the Western Hemisphere, Thursday will be a day of frustration and misunderstandings when ANTINOUS THE MOON GOD tangles with Mercury early in the day and then with Saturn later on in the day. The Moon/Mercury square affects people in the Eastern Hemisphere, causing disruptions in communications. But it is when the Moon is in 180-degree opposition to Saturn that trouble really starts for people in the Western Hemisphere. After clashing with Saturn, the Moon goes VOID OF COURSE for 12 hours — from early morning until late evening. Being the last planet the Moon encountered before going VOC, these 12 hours promise to be particularly dour and frustrating, a time when nothing seems to go right.

FRIDAY MARCH 7, 2014

On Friday the work week will end on an upbeat note and you will be eager to put on your party clothes to hit the clubs when ANTINOUS THE MOON GOD makes a happy trine with Venus.

SATURDAY MARCH 8, 2014

SUNDAY MARCH 9, 2014

On Sunday you can finally clear out that cluttered closet and get other noisome chores done when ANTINOUS THE MOON GOD forms an energy-filled trine with Mars which just makes you want to roll up your sleeves and apply some elbow grease.

MONDAY MARCH 10, 2014

On Monday lasting and profound healing energies come your way when Chiron forms a sweet sextile with Pluto. These two slow-moving outer planetoids/asteroids have been inching towards this configuration for weeks, and will continue to remain in it for days and weeks to come. Despite all the toil and tribulation in the world, take a moment to pamper yourself with some inner healing. Chiron was one of the Titans, the greatest of the Centaurs. Chiron was the tutor to a great many gods and demigods, including Prometheus, Theseus, Achilles and Hercules, to name but a few ... he taught them everything from warfare to surgery ... from poetry to musicianship ... he taught his boys everything ... and with Pluto's profound strength, he can help you now.

TUESDAY MARCH 11, 2014

On Tuesday you can count on your gay intuition when the meditative Pisces Sun forms a water-sign trine with the sensitive Cancer Moon. This is a great day for creative projects or health treatments. Just remember that this "water trine" can also make you prone to waste time and over-indulge in alcohol. Just saying ....

WEDNESDAY MARCH 12, 2014

On Wednesday your optimism is on the rebound when ANTINOUS THE MOON GOD is in opposition to Aquarius Venus. Little everyday problems can't dim your spirits and you are able to clear up little misunderstandings at work and in your relationships easily.

THURSDAY MARCH 13, 2014

On Thursday your gay intuition shifts into high gear for the second time this week when the meditative Pisces Sun forms a water-sign trine with thorough-going Scorpio Saturn.
