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, NOVEMBER 12th-13th, 2026
This week brings a meaningful shift from reflection into movement as Mercury and Venus, which have been "retrograde" (moving "backwards" as seen from Earth) turn "direct" and move "forwards" again for the first time in weeks, followed by Mars conjunction Jupiter in Leo. Mercury stations direct in Scorpio on November 12, followed by Venus stationing direct in Libra on November 13. Just days later, Mars meets Jupiter in Leo, bringing a very different kind of energy: courage, creative fire, confidence, and the desire to finally move. Spiritually, this is less about everything suddenly becoming perfect and more about something inside you becoming clear enough to take the next step. The question is no longer: "Why has this been happening?" It becomes: "What do I know now that I didn't know before?" When Mercury and Venus turn Direct together it means not simply that two planets change direction. It is the symbolism of mind and heart beginning to move forward together. During a difficult period, your mind may tell you one thing while your heart tells you another. You may know something logically but still struggle to accept it emotionally. Or you may feel something deeply but lack the words to explain it. Mercury and Venus turning direct within 24 hours creates a beautiful spiritual metaphor: What you understand and what you feel can begin moving toward the same truth.
SAT-SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 14th-15th, 2026
This weekend, Mars aligns in conjunction with Jupiter for the first time since August 15th, 2024, producing a fiery surge of excitement, confidence, initiative and courage you can funnel into your most ambitious aspirations. You could be compelled to press the pedal to the metal on a lofty goal with more fervor than ever before. With Mars conjunction Jupiter, you have an abundance of energy and enthusiasm to take on tasks that would frighten all but the most courageous. In order to get what you want, you are energized to assert yourself fearlessly, even in the face of danger. You may sense even a rather reckless faith in your ability to tempt fate and take chances, never doubting that you will succeed. Be careful that what you lack in finesse you make up for in arrogance. On the global level, overweening tyrants use this energy to make over the world according to their own idea of what perfection should be.
MON-WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 16th-18th, 2026
This week, we come to the Aquarius First Quarter Moon ... the Lunar Phase in Antinous Moon Magic which we call the altruistic and magnanimous CONCORDIA MOON ... the perfect night for laying enmity and strife to rest ... and open your heart to healing love.
THURS-SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 19th-22nd, 2026
This week the Earth will shake when the Sun forms a 90-degree square angle to Mars and also a 90-degree square angle to exaggeration-prone Jupiter. Sun square Mars creates a very tense energy which looks for expression through some kind of action, sports, romance, creative self-expression. The square causes obstacles in self-assertion which have to be overcome with the courage and fighting spirit which comes naturally. On the negative side this can lead to setbacks, frustration and may boil over as arguments, fights, tantrums or ... on the global level ... to wars and conflicts. Once the energy finds a safe way of expression, then the tremendous energy can lead to great achievements in Mars activities such as sports, military endeavours, fighting for a particular cause, even dramatic acting. The fiery willpower really does need a useful outlet to stop this warlike energy turning on the self or loved ones ... or pitting one nation against another. Competing and winning is important to maintain a healthy ego.Meanwhile, the Sun is in a 90-degree right angle to Jupiter. This configuration provides great opportunities for success but also some tests of character. You can be very fortunate but also have to make your own luck. Lucky breaks and popularity can lead to an inflated ego and other excesses in life. For example, you may have a tendency to over-estimate your own abilities or resources. This could lead to a scattering of energy or wasting money on unnecessary luxuries. There may also be a tendency to accumulate possessions such as collections of a special thing, coins, figurines etc. It may be that your beliefs and morals become over the top and cause difficulties with others. Excessive behaviors are most problematic because these are more likely to affect your close relationships. Overconfidence can get in the way of making lasting friendships. The key to dealing with the excessive nature of Jupiter is moderation. You can still maintain a healthy ego but you won’t want to let excess and pride damage your standing in the world. Jupiter is testing your ego. Any arrogance or boastfulness may actually be covering for a wounded ego, or a lack of self-confidence. Yes, you do wish to be of importance, to be famous or wealthy and to receive the praise and ovation you deserve. They key to dealing with this aspect, apart from moderation, is to not get ahead of yourself. Focus your energy on doing the groundwork, the daily grind needed to perfect your special gifts.
SNEAK PREVIEW OF NEXT WEEK:
Another exciting week lies ahead between November 23rd and 29th, 2026, when we come to the Gemini Full Moon, which is the CATAMITUS MOON in Antinous Moon Magic, the moon signaling where change will occur in your life during the coming year. This is a powerfully magical moon for working gay magical spells in the Gemini areas of friendships, finances and getting in contact with prospective lovers ... More details next time ....
