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.

THURS-FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 12th-13th, 2026
This week, after having slipped "backwards" (as seen from Earth) into Pisces last September 1st, now Saturn finally leaves placid Pisces for the next 28 years and steams full-speed ahead into aggressive Aries, where it will remain until April 2028. Aries is known for its bold spirit of leadership, courage, and independence and can lean towards impulsiveness. Saturn, on the other hand, is the task master of the zodiac. He demands steady, sustained effort and hard work. The result is you feel you have one foot on the accelerator and the other on the brake. Ideally, you will be able to take bold initiative in your life while ensuring your choices are sustainable and well thought out. Courage does not mean acting recklessly ... it means stepping forward with conviction while respecting what it takes to create and sustain growth. Full details here about SATURN IN ARIES.
SAT-SUNDAY, FEBRUARY 14th-15th, 2026
This weekend, the Sun and Uranus are in a 90-degree square aspect to each other. This aspect creates unreliability and betrayal amongst friends, allies and coworkers. Stress and rancor and lots of rage and unrest are the result.
MONDAY, FEBRUARY 16th, 2026
This week, Mercury forms a fortuitous trine aspect with lucky Jupiter. Even if you usually never play the lottery, you might want to consider buying a lotto ticket for this week. And because Jupiter turns retrograde this week, you may find an old lottery ticket between the cushions of your sofa that turns out to be a jackpot winner.
TUES-WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 17th-18th, 2026
This week, we come to the AQUARIUS NEW MOON — which in Antinous Moon Magic we call the OBELISK MOON — the lunar phase embodying knowledge in all its forms, knowledge which is gained through study and learning. The Aquarius New Moon is also always CHINESE NEW YEAR and 2026 is the Year of the Horse, specifically the Fire Horse, which occurs every 60 years in the Chinese calendar and is known as a period of rapid change. In simple terms, the Fire Horse Year 2026 brings rapid change, fresh opportunities, personal growth, and a faster pace of life.
THURS-SUNDAY, FEBRUARY 19th-22nd, 2026
This week humanity finally says goodbye to the dark and divided Age of Pisces, and finally witnesses the full unfolding of the bright promise of the Age of Aquarius when Saturn aligns in conjunction with Neptune in Aries for the first time in more than 6,000 years. This is the year we will witness all the prophecies converging and hurling in the new Golden age for humanity foretold in many cultures. This is the rise of inner light and remembering who we are! While Saturn and Neptune have aligned many times in recent centuries, the last time they rendezvoused in Aries was on 3 March 4361 BC! That was 6,387 years ago! Saturn/Neptune conjunctions occur every 36 years and every new cycle brings with it big changes in the world. Imagine how significant it is to have them meet at the start of the zodiac after thousands of years! The amount of cataclysmic events collectively, non stop for many years, but more obvious in the intense squeeze the past six years, has challenged everyone's perspective on this reality. We are truly living in the most extraordinary times. Thus, we have an extraordinary opportunity to evolve quite rapidly, to determine the course of humanity for coming centuries! Saturn determination combined with Neptune insight in the fiery and eager sign of Aries impels us to wield self reflection, self awareness and courage to step boldly into the New Age of Aquarius. Full details here on SATURN CONJUNCTION NEPTUNE IN ARIES.
SNEAK PREVIEW OF NEXT WEEK:
Another exciting week lies ahead between February 23rd and March 1st, 2026, when we come to the Gemini First Quarter moon ... 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. 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 ... More details next time ....
