THURS-FRIDAY, MAY 2nd-3rd, 2019

This week, Mercury dominates the cosmic stage with a variety of critical aspects to major planets: Mercury sextile Mars, Mercury square Saturn, Mercury square Pluto and Mercury trine Jupiter. As god of commerce and communications, Mercury in these tense aspects means that some stubborn, long-standing issues (especially with persons in positions of authority) now finally offer you the challenge of facing them without further procrastination. On the positive side, though, you find you have the tenacity and determination to face them. Don't believe much of anything you hear when Mercury forms a chatty trine aspect with Jupiter, and be careful not to over-indulge or spend too much money. And finally, Mercury is in a good sextile aspect to Mars to help you get your point across articulately and strongly to others.

SATURDAY, MAY 4th, 2019

This weekend, ANTINOUS THE MOON GOD aligns with the Sun in Taurus for the TAURUS NEW MOON the MARCUS AURELIUS MOON because he was a man of judicious might and justice, a warrior and a poet, a man whose reign was called a Golden Age. The TAURUS NEW MOON highlights 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.

SUNDAY, MAY 5th, 2019

Overnight Sunday-Monday, Mars moves into opposition to Jupiter for the first time in two years. Mars opposite Jupiter increases your self-confidence and desire to win. Wanting more out of life, you will be willing to take risks to get there. With a "who dares, wins" attitude you can certainly have your desires fulfilled now and enjoy success. This is one of the luckiest opposition transits of all but it can also bring your undoing if you get selfish, overconfident or you over stretch your resources. You will feel adventurous, strong and competitive and should back yourself. However, it is most important to also remember self-control, humility and patience. Your natural tendency will be to act on the spur of the moment and risk it all. You will feel sure of yourself because of increased strength, courage and popularity. This is a sexy energy and you will attract a lot of attention if dating or socializing in general. Be considerate of the needs of others and try to blend some cooperation in with your increased competitiveness. In this way you will be sure to succeed and have your strongest desires fulfilled. So long as you don’t over-estimate your abilities and resources you can achieve success in business, romance, politics and sports.

MONDAY, MAY 6th, 2019

On Monday, Mercury leaves feisty Aries and glides into grounded Taurus to slip off his talaria winged sandals and chill and contemplate his investments for the next couple of weeks until Mercury wings into chatty Gemini on 21 May 2019.

TUESDAY, MAY 7th, 2019

On Tuesday, Venus is in a 90-degree right-angle square to stubborn Saturn. Venus-square-Saturn means that relationship discussions are fraught with stumbling blocks. And because Venus and Saturn also have a role to play in money and business, you can expect problems in that area as well. And because Saturn is Retrograde (going "backwards" as seen from Earth), you can brace yourself for old relationship woes that you thought were resolved to resurface ... so that you can resolve them for good this time.

WEDNESDAY, MAY 8th, 2019

On Wednesday, impossible miracles are possible when Mercury aligns with Uranus. The most outrageous statements turn out to be absolutely true when Mercury aligns in conjunction with impetuous Uranus. A politician will say something which sounds far too unbelievable to be true. Believe it! This is the time when serendipitous miracles occur. A miracle is something that seems impossible but happens anyway.

THURS-FRIDAY, MAY 9th-10th, 2019

Relationships are the top priority this week with Venus engaged in challenging aspects. First, Venus trine Jupiter offers a ray of hope. On the positive side: you can trust your intuition to buy a lottery ticket. But on the less positive side, you don't know when to stop and squander your hard-earned money on a big risk ... in money and love. But your wager may pay off big time. But on a less optimistic note, Venus square Pluto creates an explosive situation for interpersonal relationships. It begins at the breakfast table over corn flakes when you say you want to go shopping and your alpha-male boyfriend starts in saying that it's typical of you to go off and spend money and waste time while he has to clean the house. Next thing you know, the two of you have been screaming at each other for hours. Remember that I said astrology is a tool to master such situations. Venus-square-Pluto is a golden opportunity to rediscover the things you love about your lover. Okay, so he's a bitch-on-wheels. So what? He's your bitch-on-wheels and the two of you love each other. Make a stab at helping him clean the house — and sneak online and buy needless stuff on eBay when he's not looking. But do not lose hope because the cozy Taurus Sun forms a dreamy sextile aspect to intuitive Neptune, inviting you to reflect introspectively about how this year is going so far, and to start dreaming about how the rest of the year may turn out. This is the perfect evening for oracle games, scrying, dreamscaping and fortune-telling.

SATURDAY, MAY 11th, 2019

Overnight Saturday-Sunday, 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.

SUNDAY, MAY 12th, 2019

On Sunday, the Sun forms a brilliant and glowing trine aspect with Saturn which empowers you with perseverance and clear vision to make some serious long-term plans for the future.

SNEAK PREVIEW OF NEXT WEEK:

Another exciting week lies ahead between May 13th and 19th 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 ....

APRIL 29th-MAY 5th, 2019

THURSDAY, APRIL 25th, 2019

This week, global political and economic turmoil redoubles when strong-willed Capricorn Pluto turns retrograde — going backwards as seen from the Earth until October 2, 2019. Some financial and political crises we thought had cooled off will begin boiling again. With Pluto in Capricorn, the focus is on who is in control. Major power struggles run rampant. Little countries threaten to upset the global financial system — an adolescent dictator tries to push superpowers around. This happens on the personal level too, of course, and everyone seems to be taunting and bullying you. Retrograde Pluto is a time to cut the anchor chain, drop ballast and set off on a course of your own. And if you can't do that, then just remember that bending your knee before tyrants doesn't mean bending your will to them. Pluto thinks in the long-term. The last time Pluto was in Capricorn was in the late 18th Century — the age of the US and French Revolutions. This time around, Capricorn Pluto is once again revolutionizing global political and economic structures. You can use the next five months to work on furthering your plans for where you want to end up in the new world order that will exist when Pluto leaves Capricorn — in 2023.

FRIDAY, APRIL 26th, 2019

Overnight Friday-Saturday, 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.

SAT-SUNDAY, APRIL 27th-28th, 2019

This weekend we come to one of the most anxiously tense times of the year and the hazard lights start flashing when eager Gemini Mars squares off against nebulous Pisces Neptune. Imagine yourself barreling down a freeway at high speed ... and suddenly being enveloped in a fog bank which cuts visibility to zero. If you don't reduce speed immediately, you are bound for disaster. Gemini Mars is the fast sports car thundering down the highway ... and Pisces Neptune is the fog bank ... and you are in the driver's seat. This astrological configuration spells trouble for people who proceed full speed through life without any regard to their surroundings. They will come a cropper this week. However, this Mars-Neptune Square configuration is excellent for people who have latent intuitive, artistic or spiritual talents ... like Antinous-Dionysus. Mars invigorates and enlivens these talents. So the answer is: Proceed with caution, but keep your eyes open for brilliant new opportunities and insights which otherwise would have flashed past you unseen at high speed.

MON-TUESDAY, APRIL 29th-30th, 2019

Overnight Monday-Tuesday, Saturn the ringed planet shifts into reverse gear to go Retrograde or "backwards" as seen from Earth. As Saturn retraces its steps for the next four months, we will all revisit issues and problems in our lives which need to be remedied before we move on. From now until September 18th, when Saturn goes Direct or "forwards" again, you can expect to have Saturn, the school teacher of the Zodiac, to force you to sit down and complete your homework before moving forward to the next class.

WEDS-FRIDAY, MAY 1st-3rd, 2019

This week, Mercury dominates the cosmic stage with a variety of critical aspects to major planets: Mercury sextile Mars, Mercury square Saturn, Mercury square Pluto and Mercury trine Jupiter. As god of commerce and communications, Mercury in these tense aspects means that some stubborn, long-standing issues (especially with persons in positions of authority) now finally offer you the challenge of facing them without further procrastination. On the positive side, though, you find you have the tenacity and determination to face them. Don't believe much of anything you hear when Mercury forms a chatty trine aspect with Jupiter, and be careful not to over-indulge or spend too much money. And finally, Mercury is in a good sextile aspect to Mars to help you get your point across articulately and strongly to others.

SATURDAY, MAY 4th, 2019

This weekend, ANTINOUS THE MOON GOD aligns with the Sun in Taurus for the TAURUS NEW MOON the MARCUS AURELIUS MOON because he was a man of judicious might and justice, a warrior and a poet, a man whose reign was called a Golden Age. The TAURUS NEW MOON highlights 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.

SUNDAY, MAY 5th, 2019

Overnight Sunday-Monday, Mars moves into opposition to Jupiter for the first time in two years. Mars opposite Jupiter increases your self-confidence and desire to win. Wanting more out of life, you will be willing to take risks to get there. With a "who dares, wins" attitude you can certainly have your desires fulfilled now and enjoy success. This is one of the luckiest opposition transits of all but it can also bring your undoing if you get selfish, overconfident or you over stretch your resources. You will feel adventurous, strong and competitive and should back yourself. However, it is most important to also remember self-control, humility and patience. Your natural tendency will be to act on the spur of the moment and risk it all. You will feel sure of yourself because of increased strength, courage and popularity. This is a sexy energy and you will attract a lot of attention if dating or socializing in general. Be considerate of the needs of others and try to blend some cooperation in with your increased competitiveness. In this way you will be sure to succeed and have your strongest desires fulfilled.

THURSDAY MARCH 24, 2016

Thursday is the perfect day for a job interview or for a presentation of a special project. Mercury is in a good trine aspect to Mars to help you get your point across articulately and strongly to others.

FRIDAY MARCH 25, 2016

On Friday night, date night, your heartstrings will throb when Venus is in opposition to exaggeration-prone Jupiter even as both are in a right-angle square aspect with stern Saturn. That is a recipe for a one-night fling which you will long remember. But there is more ... when Saturn the ringed planet shifts into reverse gear to go Retrograde or "backwards" as seen from Earth. As Saturn retraces its steps over the next five months, we will all revisit issues and problems in our lives which need to be remedied before we move on. From now until August 13th, when Saturn goes Direct or "forwards" again, you can expect to have Saturn, the school teacher of the Zodiac, to force you to sit down and complete your homework before moving forward to the next class.

SATURDAY/SUNDAY MARCH 26/27, 2016

In ancient times Antinous was famous for love spells and you can see for yourself this weekend the Sun forms a hot trine aspect with Mars and when love goddess Venus is in a sexy sextile aspect with darkly magical Pluto. Venus sextile Pluto gives you the ability to cast a really powerful kind of love spell on others. We all know that love spells can go any which way. They can bind two people’s affections together in ways that are movingly romantic and passionate or dangerously unbalanced and obsessive. Pluto tends to manifest in extremes, so with this planet in aspect to Venus, your planet of romance, love affairs tend to swing from one end of the emotional spectrum to the next. You'll often find yourself on the receiving end of some obsessively intense attractions but you’re certainly prone to experiencing all-consuming feelings of attraction toward the object of your desire. Go ahead, give it love a chance.

MONDAY/TUESDAY MARCH 28/29, 2016

On Monday and Tuesday Mercury forms a brilliant and glowing trine aspect with Saturn which empowers you with perseverance (Saturn) and clear forms of expression (Mercury) to make some serious long-term plans for the future.

WEDNESDAY MARCH 30, 2016

On Wednesday casual conversations turn into ugly arguments which can end in tears when lying Aries Mercury squares off against stubborn Capricorn Pluto. Mercury speaks impetuously without thinking in Aries and Pluto is eager to dismantle established structures in Capricorn (which explains what is happening in global finances and politics). So Mercury square Pluto is an aspect which encourages con men to try to pull a fast one on gullible souls. If you are gullible, then watch out. If you are a con man, then this is your day to shine.

THURSDAY MARCH 31, 2016

On Thursday we come to the Capricorn Third Quarter Moon which, in Antinous Moon Magic, we call the HADRIAN'S WALL MOON of stubborn intransigence and immovable barriers. Each Lunar Phase represents a Divine Spirit or Archetype. The Spirit of the Hadrian's Wall Lunar Phase is the embodiment of hindrances and blockages. It represents the barriers that stand in your way. It is all barriers and obstacles to progress. Meditations and rituals conducted on this night are best suited for focusing on blockages in your life, situations and issues which prevent you from moving forward. These can be manifested by persons or situations around you. But most often, we find during meditations on this night that we have erected prison walls around ourselves, we are blocking ourselves from the freedom we so earnestly desire. This Lunar Phase is saying it is time to break out!

FRIDAY APRIL 1, 2016

On Friday April Fool's Day the most outrageous statements turn out to be absolutely true when Mercury aligns in conjunction with impetuous Uranus in Aries. A politician will say something which sounds far too unbelievable to be true. Believe it! This is the kind of day serendipitous miracles occur. A miracle is something that seems impossible but happens anyway.

SATURDAY/SUNDAY APRIL 2/3, 2016

This is a lovely weekend. On Saturday ANTINOUS THE MOON GOD is in active Aquarius and forms a fortuitous aspect with Mars which encourages sports activities and dancing. Sunday is by far the best day of the week when cosmic configurations positive surprises pave the way to conciliatory conversations. Go ahead ... make the first move toward burying the hatchet.

SNEAK PREVIEW OF NEXT WEEK:

Another exciting week lies ahead between April 4 and 10 when ANTINOUS THE MOON GOD aligns with his heavenly father Ra-Herakhte for the Aries New Moon which we call the FASCES MOON. The Aries New Moon is the moon of abrupt beginnings which may not be followed through, and of things said which are later regretted, of capricious actions — shoot first, ask questions later. If you have been stalling on starting something new ... now is the time to go for it. Others will warn you that you should exercise caution ... but the Fasces Moon says "no pain, no gain" and urges you to press forward .... More details next time ....
