DISCORDIA is the deity we honor during tonight's Cancer Third Quarter Moon, which occurs after the Autumnal Equinox and heralds the onset of Winter in the Northern Hemisphere. For our brothers in the Southern Hemisphere the Discordia Moon signals that hot days will soon be here.
In Antinous Moon Magic, each Lunar Phase represents a Divine Spirit or Archetype. The Spirit of the Discordia Moon is the Spirit of Rage and Fury. It is the embodiment of wrathfulness, exasperation, irritation, dudgeon, bile, gall, malice, combativeness and irascibility. It is as mad as can be and has no more patience.
The key words are: Rage. Wrath. Anger. Dispute. Fighting. Intense Annoyance. Aggravation. Aggression. Conflict. War.
This Lunar Phase takes in all "rage issues" from annoyance with a loud neighbor to all-out physical altercations.
In ages past, this was when the gypsy fortune-teller would do a reading for a young man, saying, "War is coming and you must fight!"
On a psychological level, meditations during this Lunar Phase show where your anger or aggression lies in a reading. On a gay spiritual level, it shows where you need to stand up and assert yourself.
Anger can be a powerful ally, since it is filled with energy that we can harness and use to create change in the world.
It is one of the most cathartic emotions, and it can also be a very effective cleanser of the emotional system.
However, when it becomes a habit, it actually loses its power to transform and becomes an obstacle to growth.
Meditations and rituals during the Discordia Moon can help you in identifying the role anger plays in your life and restoring it to its proper function so that it can bring new energy and expansiveness to your emotional life.
