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 happens to be in the Zodiac on any given day, he can make us moody, restless, and irrational.

THURSDAY July 29th 2010

On Thursday the universe seems to pause to take a deep breath between the chaos of recent days and the wave of new chaos which is to come. The placid Pisces Moon creates a dreamy atmosphere which you should enjoy while you can.

FRIDAY July 30th 2010

On Friday the universe goes ballistic as determined Virgo Mercury forms a trine to doom-minded Capricorn Pluto and Mars moves into indecisive Libra to form an opposition standoff to unpredictable Uranus. Avoid allowing anybody to provoke you or pick a fight with you. This is especially vital when behind the wheel of your car. Keeping your temper today may spell the difference between life and death.

SATURDAY July 31st 2010

On Saturday the weekend gets off to a frustrating start when the eager Aries Moon is thwarted by a Mars/Saturn conjunction which creates aggravation at every turn. Avoid taking out your aggressions on things (and people) around you. Slamming your fist against a brick wall will only give you a broken wrist.

SUNDAY August 1st 2010

On Sunday the weekend ends as it started — in frustration and aggravation. Try not to use other people as a lightning rod for your own lightning bolts of anger. Butting your head against the wall will only give you a migraine. It may be best to go off by yourself and cool off — even Death Valley will be a cool spot compared to your raging temper.

MONDAY August 2nd 2010

On Monday the work week gets off to an efficient start when the plodding Taurus Moon engages in a positive trine to corporate Capricorn Pluto, enhancing your ability to get your viewpoint across to others and to hold your own in any conflict which might arise.

TUESDAY August 3rd 2010

On Tuesday you should batten down the hatches and buckle your seatbealt. First off, the sparks will fly when the bullish Taurus Moon squares off against the fiery Leo Sun. Also, Jupiter squares off against Pluto — bringing us to STATION FIVE of the ANTINOUS COSMIC STAR PILGRIMAGE, making this one of the most difficult days of the year, astrologically speaking. Dark and sinister Pluto has a strangle-hold on buoyant Jupiter once again — just as it did on July 25th. This time religious fanaticism could ignite the world in a conflagration. International terrorism will be in the headlines again. In your personal life, Station Five is about dousing the flames of hot-headed conflict in your own relationships. Beware of allowing whims to become fixed ideas which prevent you from seeing the concerns of others. Don't allow yourself to make a minor difference of opinion with your partner erupt into a major blow-out.

WEDNESDAY August 4th 2010

On Wednesday you should avoid confrontations with authority figures when aggressive Mars moves into opposition to exaggeration-prone Jupiter and then, almost immediately, Mars goes 90-degrees right-angle to doomsday planet Pluto. Heads are gonna roll! Don't let one of them be yours!

THURSDAY August 5th 2010

On Thursday the lingering agressive tensions from earlier in the week should not deter you from kicking up your heels. If you are at work, bring in a platter of pastries and a bottle of champagne and tell everyone it's your birthday. Okay, they all know it's not your birthday. But you're boosting office morale and, after the second glass of bubbly, your boss will get into the party spirit. A party-atmosphere trine between the vivacious Gemini Moon and outgoing Leo Sun will put everyone in the mood for gaity.

FRIDAY August 6th 2010

On Friday the party atmosphere takes on a whole new dimension when the Gemini Moon and dreamy Neptune invite you to engage in your favorite fantasy. Friday night is also when Venus leaves stodgy Virgo and enters — nay, dances gracefully — into style-minded Libra. For the next month, Libra Venus will be giving us lessons in style makeovers and gracious ways of dealing with annoying people — knocking 'em dead with grace, wit and charm.

SATURDAY August 7th 2010

On Saturday the party mood may become a bit too much when stylish Libra Venus goes opposite eccentric Uranus. A Moon/Neptune square suggests you should be careful with alcohol and party drugs. If you wake up Sunday morning wearing a lampshade hat — well, you were warned!

SUNDAY August 8th 2010

On Sunday the post-party hangover hits hard when ANTINOUS THE MOON GOD leaves lively Gemini and enters over-sensitive Cancer. Things get only worse when Venus aligns with Saturn and stern old Saturn gives the love goddess a lecture on restraint and decorum. On the mundane plane of your life, don't be surprised if your longterm partner (Saturn) seems cold and reticent towards you (Venus). It might help if you take off the lampshade hat.
