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 30th
to MAY 10th, 2026
THURSDAY, APRIL 30th, 2026
This week, Mercury conjunction with the minor planet CHIRON IN ARIES signifies a powerful, transformative period where mental wounds and insecurities are brought to light to be healed through communication, learning, and self-expression. This aspect, often described as the "Wounded Healer" connecting with the mind, turns personal vulnerabilities into sources of profound wisdom and empathetic communication.
FRIDAY, MAY 1st, 2026
This week, 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.
SAT-SUNDAY, MAY 2nd-3rd, 2026
This weekend, Mercury leaves feisty Aries and glides into grounded Taurus to focus on financial stability and home comfort. You can expect difficulties because Taurus Mercury immediately squares off against Pluto, which is in Aquarius and is grimly determined to revolutionize communications and social media. Mercury and Pluto will focus wrestle with online banking and crypto-currency controversies on and off until Mercury enters chatty Gemini on 17th May 2026.
MON-TUESDAY, MAY 4th-5th, 2026
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.
WEDNESDAY, MAY 6th, 2026
Over the weekend, Mercury left feisty Aries and glided into grounded Taurus to focus on financial stability and home comfort. But this week you can expect difficulties because Taurus Mercury immediately squares off against Pluto, which is in Aquarius and is grimly determined to revolutionize communications and social media. Mercury and Pluto will focus wrestle with online banking and crypto-currency controversies on and off until Mercury enters chatty Gemini on 17th May 2026.
THURS-FRIDAY, MAY 7th-8th, 2026
This week, global political and economic turmoil redoubles when strong-willed Aquarius Pluto turns retrograde — going backwards as seen from the Earth — until October 15, 2026. It will be a time of deep internal reflection and change, encouraging you to explore your subconscious and confront past issues. It is 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.
SAT-SUNDAY, MAY 9th-10th, 2026
This weekend, the Moon squares off against the Sun for the Aquarius Third Quarter Moon which in Antinous Moon Magic we call the FORUM MOON. This is the best Lunar Phase of the year for oracles or spell work involving interaction with groups or a public setting. Gathering place. Club. Work place. Any place where numerous people gather. It is also the best moon for rituals focusing on parks, gardens and the outdoors in general, such as working rituals for protecting a back garden or outdoor venue.
SNEAK PREVIEW OF NEXT WEEK:
Another exciting week lies ahead between May 11th and 17th, 2026, when 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 ... More details next time ....
