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.
SEPTEMBER 4th
to 14th, 2025
THURS-FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 4th-5th, 2025
This promises to be the most dangerous week of the year when Mars squares off against Jupiter — a configuration which invariably spawns strife, conflict, warfare, earthquakes and even bad weather. This is the textbook recipe for armed conflict, terrorist attacks and economic chaos. On the one hand, there is a powerful yearning for a dramatic new beginning. That is a good thing, in general. But on the other hand, there are ruthless people who take advantage of that yearning to push their own agendas for changing the world to fit their own selfish ends. Quite aside from global politics and economics, you will sense these tensions in your own domestic life and on the job. Remember to keep your head and strive for compromise while others lose their heads or ram their heads through the wall.

This week, Uranus the planet of revolutionary change stops dead in its tracks (as seen from Earth) and goes Retrograde (backwards) for the next five months. Even when going forward, Uranus shakes things up. When URANUS TURNS RETROGRADE it still shakes things up for us, but it starts to do so in a very pushy way. It pushes us to dig deep and really face the problems and the roadblocks that have impeded progress. It forces us to re-evaluate our values and our priorities.If we've been turning a blind eye to a problem, Uranus retrograde will put that problem in our face, front and center, and make it impossible to ignore. If we've been too willing to settle and reluctant to venture from our comfort zones, Uranus will shake us out of it like you shake ants out of a picnic blanket.
Uranus sparks awakenings and inspires us to challenge what we accept as the norm, but when it goes retrograde it forces us to do so through an overhaul.
While Uranus is in retrograde, on a personal level, you may find Uranus forces you to re-evaluate your life — what you've accepted, what you've settled for, the choices you have made. If you've been mindlessly heading down the wrong path, Uranus retrograde gives you the proverbial slap in the face to bring you back to your senses — the kind of slap that stings, but for which you are grateful. After something happens, you may find yourself wondering, "what am I doing? Why am I doing this?" That's the planet's influence on you while in retrograde.
As a society, you'll find Uranus retrograde is when there is unrest and that brings attention to things we've let slide for far too long. More people begin to rethink the direction we've been taking, challenge convention and advocate for change.
You can really use Uranus retrograde to your advantage. It is an ideal time to reflect on your life. Examine your past in relation to your future, and if there is an "Aha!" moment to be had, Uranus retrograde can help you find it.
Have you fallen into bad patterns of thought or behavior? Have you trapped yourself in a lifestyle or job that hasn't really been working for you, but you stuck with it because it was easier than changing? Uranus retrograde is going to make you see what brought you to where you are, face your fears and take you out of your comfort zone, ultimately guiding you to the realization that there are better paths to take.

This weekend, we come to the Pisces Full Moon ... In heterosexual astrology, the Pisces Full Moon is just a moon of sensual spiritual energy. But in Antinous Gay Moon Magic, this is the HOMOTHEOSIS MOON ... the archetype of gay sexuality ... when your sexual dreams can come true ... This hot Full Moon tells you it may be time to take your relationship to a whole new level ... This lunar phase helps you to deepen your love relationships in meaningful ways, making constructive compromises which allow each partner freedom while strengthening the bonds which unite you both.
MON-FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 8th-12th, 2025
This is your lucky week, when Mercury aligns in perfect conjunction with the Sun in conscientious, trustworthy and virtuously helpful Virgo, and both form a sextile aspect with lucky Jupiter. This is the sort of day that the Latin expression "Carpe Diem" (Seize the Day) was created for. Be sure to buy a lottery ticket ... and be sure to share the winnings with everybody around you.
SAT-SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 13th-14th, 2025
This weekend, ANTINOUS THE MOON GOD squares off against the Sun for the GEMINI THIRD QUARTER MOON which in Antinous Moon Magic is called the CONSOLATION MOON because it is the Lunar Archetypal energy of serendipity and fortuitous misadventures. You win the Silver Medal (but not the Gold). You win $20 in the lottery (but not the jackpot of $20 million). It is about finding $50 in an old wallet.
SNEAK PREVIEW OF NEXT WEEK:
Another exciting week lies ahead between September 15th and 21st, 2025, when we come to the second VIRGO NEW MOON in succession ... which we call the AUTUMN BLUE MOON OF HADRIAN in Antinous Moon Magic. The Autumn Blue Moon represents the Harvest Moon — a time to reap what you have sown in youth. It is an allegory for Hadrian: the maturity within your soul. Regardless of your chronological age, Hadrian is that part of you which draws on the wisdom and maturity that comes from experience and spiritual knowledge. This inner Hadrian is associated with law and ethics as that which follows from a sense of the natural order of things. Hadrian represents that part of you which transcends age, gender and other limitations to embrace a broad vision, tolerant attitude, freedom-loving philosophical air, and generally jovial spirits. Hadrian is your inner source of hope, optimism, confidence and generosity. Your inner Hadrian tends to appreciate abundance; the dictum "less is more" doesn't make much sense in his realm -- better to have plenty and let a little go to waste. Your inner Hadrian tells you that a strong sense of responsibility and justice flow from a belief in higher truth. Hadrian is lenient and merciful with the weak, intolerant of bullies and fools, and Hadrian is beneficent to those in need of his generosity. He is tolerant and embraces contrary ideas, but only in so far as they also reflect his views of tolerance and inclusiveness. Regardless of your age, Hadrian is that part of you which enables you to build upon what you have started, to complete your life's goals and to do everything in your power to see that the world you leave behind will be a better place because you were there ... More details next time ....
