Antinous is a Moon God. He is, of course, many other things and he wears many hats. But one of the ways he was worshiped in Antiquity was as ANTINOUS THE MOON GOD.
His worshipers looked skyward and saw His beautiful face perpetually turned towards the Earth. The Man in the Moon was actually the Blessed Boy in the Moon for the ancient priests and worshipers of Antinous. Swiftest and most youthful of all the Zodiacal deities, Antinous speeds through an entire year's worth of Astrological signs in just 28 days.
ANTINOUS THE MOON GOD represents our deepest personal needs, our basic habits and reactions, and our unconscious gay selves. Where Hadrian the Sun acts, Antinous the Moon REACTS. How do we instinctively react or respond to problems? What do we feel we need for a sense of security? Look to ANTINOUS THE MOON GOD for answers.
ANTINOUS THE MOON GOD is both our inner boy child and our inner lover. His ever changing phases, as he sweeps past all the other Planets in all the Signs, make us at turns responsive, receptive, and reflective. Eternally youthful, ANTINOUS THE MOON GOD represents our childlike spontaneous and instinctual reactions.
ANTINOUS THE MOON GOD beams down on us to make us imaginative, creative, intuitive, sentimental, adaptable, introspective, and protective. On the negative side, and depending on where he is in the Zodiac, he can make us moody, restless, and irrational.
APRIL 24th
to MAY 4th, 2025
THURS-SATURDAY, APRIL 24th-26th, 2025
This promises to be the most explosive week of the year, and you may expect confrontations. A T-square is forming between the Sun, Mars, and Pluto. It begins with the Sun squaring Mars on April 22nd, the Sun squaring Pluto on the 23rd, and Mars opposing Pluto on April 27th, which coincides with the Taurus New Moon. On the 25th, Venus is exactly conjunct Saturn. This is a recipe for strife, upheaval. But Antinous teaches us to harness rage for justice, LGBTQIA+ rights. Never cruel. Never cowardly. Never give up. Never give in!
SUNDAY, APRIL 27th, 2025
This weekend, we come to the Taurus New Moon, which we call the MARCUS AURELIUS MOON highlighting Taurean qualities (determined, practical, devoted, grounded, dependable) and 2nd House themes (material security, values, self-worth). On a spiritual/higher plane, the New Moon in Taurus seeks inner peace through stability and contentment.
MON-WEDNESDAY, APRIL 28th-30th, 2025
This week, Venus leaves dreamy and romantic Pisces and charges into hot and horny Aries. Sitting in front of your computer wistfully fantasizing about Mr. Right suddenly gives way to the urge to go out and find him ... and not stop until you have found him. Aries Venus can be overly assertive and me-firsty in relationships. But if you are congenitally shy and retiring, this means you may finally work up the audacity to stand up for yourself ... and about time, too.
THURS-FRIDAY, MAY 1st-2nd, 2025
This week, Venus aligns in conjunction with Neptune in fiery Aries for the first time in 165 years, since Neptune has not been in Aries since the mid-19th Century. The last time Neptune transited the sign of Aries was from 1861 to 1875. This period brought significant cultural shifts and scientific discoveries ... for instance, the Civil War and the pasteurization of milk. Historically, Neptune in Aries brings uprisings and unforeseen changes, with ideologies and thoughts that veer from the status quo. Neptune is the higher octave of Venus, so Neptune can lead us down the road of passion, desire, and unconditional love. But in this pairing in Aries, the lower vibration of Neptune also brings addiction, drama, vagueness, lack of direction, ambiguity, and a dissolution of boundaries. We wish to escape the mundane and rejoice in the mirage. Yes, our intuition runs wild, but we also might not want to accept the truth in matters. Self-deception is a significant form of lying.
SATURDAY, MAY 3rd, 2025
This weekend, global political and economic turmoil redoubles when strong-willed Aquarius Pluto turns retrograde — going backwards as seen from the Earth — until October 13, 2025. This is the first time in our lifetimes that Pluto will remain in Aquarius for the entire duration of its retrograde phase. It will be a time of deep internal reflection and change, encouraging you to explore your subconscious and confront past issues. It's an opportunity to let go of what no longer serves you and create a more fulfilling future. Pluto retrograde is known for its transformative power, and the energy of Aquarius adds a dimension of liberation and radical change. Aquarius energy encourages unique and liberating expressions of power and potential, urging you to embrace your unique identity and individuality. During this retrograde, it's crucial to be extra clear in your communication, especially when disagreements arise, and avoid letting pride cloud your judgment.
SUNDAY, MAY 4th, 2025
This weekend, we come to the Leo First Quarter Moon. It is the Lunar Phase in Antinous Moon Magic which we call the SCARAB MOON of miracles and wish-fulfillment. Meditations and rituals carried out tonight can result in an unexpected breakthrough. Eureka! Unanticipated solution. Fortuitous surprise. Sudden change for the better. Plucking victory from the jaws of defeat. An oracle reading or meditative trance can produce a sudden answer for transformation of a bad situation into something profitable.
SNEAK PREVIEW OF NEXT WEEK:
Another exciting week lies ahead between May 5th and 11th, 2025, when we come to the Scorpio Full Moon ... a moon for penetrating the veil of lies and illusion and seeing clearly who are your friends (and who are not) and also seeing yourself for what you are. For that reason, we call it the ENEMY MOON in Antinous Moon Magic ... More details next time ....
