Astro Forecast: Feb. 3—9, 2014

Antinous Astrology Forecast

FEBRUARY 3 to 9, 2014


THURSDAY JANUARY 30th 2014

On Thursday we come to one of the most joyous New Moons — the AQUARIUS NEW MOON — which in Antinous Moon Magic we call 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 this is the Year of the Wood Horse. Following the volatile last two years of the Water Dragon and the Fire Snake, we can certainly use the quiet and reassurance that the Wood Horse holds in store.


FRIDAY JANUARY 31st 2014

On Friday the good news is that Venus ends its Retrograde phase and begins to move forward again, putting an end to the waves of nostalgia you have felt in recent weeks. But the less good news is that Venus aligns in perfect conjunction with Pluto — signalling crises in personal relationships as well as in global financial markets.


SATURDAY FEBRUARY 1st 2014

On Saturday you wake up from a night of vivid dreams and have a hard time concentrating after Mercury leaves clear-minded Aquarius overnight and enters foggy-minded Pisces. Cognitive processes become intuitive and heart-driven, a big change from the past three weeks of clear and logical Vulcan thought processes in Aquarius. But don't feel too badly about not having upgraded your smartphone and tablet PC during Aquarius Mercury, because fleet-footed Mercury goes Retrograde next week and reverses back into Aquarius for a few weeks before finally turning Direct (forward) again in March and plunging back into dreamy Pisces.


SUNDAY FEBRUARY 2nd 2014

On Sunday the weekend is made for dreaming with Mercury in Pisces and with ANTINOUS THE MOON GOD in dreamy aspects with Jupiter, Pluto, Venus and Saturn. It is a good time for "reading between the lines" in conversations with your friends while soaking in the Jacuzzi or sauna.


MONDAY FEBRUARY 3rd 2014

On Monday you may wake up suddenly out of a restless sleep with a brilliant idea for a solution to a problem that has been tormenting you for the longest time when ANTINOUS THE MOON GOD aligns in conjunction with Uranus and squares off against Mercury.


TUESDAY FEBRUARY 4th 2014

On Tuesday things start off slowly but your self-confidence gets a definite boost after tense lunar configurations with Jupiter, Pluto and Venus give way to a sunny sextile with the Sun.


WEDNESDAY FEBRUARY 5th 2014

On Wednesday relief gallops to the rescue when Chiron the healer forms a beneficent trine aspect with Jupiter. Wednesday and in fact most of this week is an ideal time for medical checkups and procedures. This obscure asteroid plays only a peripheral role in most daily astrology forecasts. But this strong aspect to Jupiter means that Chiron becomes a major player. In Greek mythology, Chiron was one of the Titans, the greatest of the Centaurs. Chiron was the tutor to a great many Gods, Demigods and fellow Titans, including Prometheus, Theseus, Achilles and Hercules, to name but a few. Astrologically, Chiron represents a person's healing energies and, indeed, the word for "surgery" in many European languages (chirurgie in French and German, cirugya in Spanish, chirugia in Italian and Portuguese) comes directly from the Ancient Greek words for "Chiron Hands" — a healer with the skilled hands of the Titan Chiron.


THURSDAY FEBRUARY 6th 2014

On Thursday Mercury does an about-face and goes "backwards" as seen from Earth until February 28th. This RETROGRADE MERCURY phase is a time of confusion in communications and commerce. About three times each year, Mercury the communications wizard turns into Mercury the fast-talking con man. This is the RETROGRADE MERCURY phase, and it lasts about three weeks. So RETROGRADE MERCURY will be serving up glitches and snafus in the Scorpio-related areas of passions, secret agreements, independence and dependability. If you are buying a new mobile phone, be sure to read the fine print about hidden costs. Planning to move into a new apartment? Check the kitchen and bathroom for tell-tale signs of mold before signing the lease. Remember over the next three weeks that MERCURY wants you to play his sly game to win — not to be a whining victim. Make him proud of the way you play his game!

But this is not all bad. I read just the other day that one acclaimed astrologer says that this is the best time to buy a USED car or second-hand garment or old TV set. The idea behind that is that RETROGRADE MERCURY is a bad time to undertake NEW projects or acquisitions, but that you can splurge on RETRO things. It's a Collectibles Queen's dream, I tell you!

If they are having a close-out sale on end-of-the-line big-screen TVs — this may be the best time to buy one. And if you completed all the pre-signing details on a new house or a new job prior to the RETROGRADE MERCURY phase, then you can go ahead and sign on the dotted line. If you applied for a job two months ago and the boss calls you up now as says you've got it, then you got it under the pre-Retrograde conditions!

Or perhaps not. Astrologers are never entirely certain about such things. As the Empress Livia (wife of Augustus) said about her astrologer Thrasyllus: "Every good astrologer lies about the present. He tells the truth about the future, but lies about the present."

I'm telling you the truth about the fact that the next month or so will be difficult. But if you buy a crappy old used TV set today that turns out to be junk — well, I certainly wouldn't do that, not during RETROGRADE MERCURY, I don't care what any "expert" says.

I'm joking, of course. I'm trying not to scare you. People hear of RETROGRADE MERCURY and they want to put off all major decisions and hide under the bed for a month or so. As Emperor Hadrian knew, astrology is not intended to scare people. Hadrian was obsessed with astrology. He knew that astrology is intended to serve as a monitoring system or an early-warning system.

An astrological warning is like seeing a "Sharp Curve Ahead" sign on a dark roadway. Antinous-Mercury doesn't expect you to slam on the brakes and stop in the middle of the road and break down into sobs of fear at the steeing wheel. No, he wants you to proceed with due caution, using the experience and skill you possess as a driver.


FRIDAY FEBRUARY 7th 2014

On Friday you may as well take the day off from work because Retrograde Mercury will do his best to create havoc with computer systems and parcel deliveries. In addition ANTINOUS THE MOON GOD is in opposition to Saturn, spreading a miasma of doom and gloom around the office.


SATURDAY FEBRUARY 8th 2014

On Saturday a party atmosphere prevails when ANTINOUS THE MOON GOD is in hot aspects to Mercury and Neptune and a sexy sextile to unpredictable Uranus.


SUNDAY FEBRUARY 9th 2014

On Sunday the weekend party and harmony atmosphere continues as ANTINOUS THE MOON GOD is in positive trines with the Sun and Mars.


SNEAK PREVIEW OF NEXT WEEK:

Another exciting week lies ahead between February 10th and 16th when we come to the lunar phase we call the LION HUNT MOON, the LEO FULL MOON. It is a reminder that Antinous slew a man-eating lion in Egypt. Antinous peered out into the barren wilderness with all its deep and hidden dangers. He charged forth, his bridle-reins in one hand and an adamantine-tipped lance in the other, and he faced the beast unafraid. For Antinous knew he would triumph over death. The Spirit of the Lion Hunt is the bravery of Antinous the Lion Slayer .... More details next time ....


THE AQUARIUS NEW MOON
THE OBELISK MOON OF ANTINOUS


TONIGHT's Aquarius New Moon is always a special lunar occurrence. Not only is it Chinese New Year, it is also the ANTINOUS OBELISK MOON in Antinous Moon Magic.

The Aquarius New Moon is always the Chinese New Year, and it usually occurs near or on such festivals as Candlemas, Luminaria, Imbolc and Brighid's Day ... all festivals of shedding light on secrets, oracles (Groundhog Day), revealing secret knowledge, news, predictions.

Each Lunar Phase represents a Divine Spirit or Archetype. The Spirit of the Obelisk Moon is knowledge in all its forms, knowledge which is gained through study and learning.

This is the Spirit of education, training, schooling, apprenticeship and initiation into knowledge restricted to a few. In ancient times, knowledge of reading and writing was limited to a select few. Language was a matter of sacred symbols, thus the word "hieroglyphs" or "sacred writing" which was given to mortals by the scribe deity Thoth, whose sacred bird is the ibis.

The masses could not read hieroglyphs incised on an obelisk, thus the obelisk became a symbol of secret or arcane knowledge.

The Obelisk of Antinous, which now stands on the Pincian Hill in Rome, was incised with hieroglyphs which, in the 2nd Century AD, almost no one could read, not even Egyptians.

Yet the hieroglyphs on the Obelisk of Antinous give us precious information on the life and religion of Antinous. It is a key font of knowledge about Antinous.

In the Religion of Antinous, the Obelisk represents knowledge which comes from the divine. It represents the liberation from ignorance that knowledge brings about.

It stands for the Great Library of Alexandria and for all the libraries in all the world and for all the books in all those libraries.

The Obelisk is the spirit of all-encompassing power of knowledge in all of its forms, in print, over the internet or over airwaves.

It is knowledge that enables you to broaden your mortal mind to encompass the cosmos. You are the cosmos becoming aware of itself through knowledge.

THE PERDITION MOON OF ANTINOUS
THE SCORPIO THIRD QUARTER MOON



TONIGHT's Scorpio Third Quarter Moon is the Lunar Phase in Antinous Moon Magic which we call the PERDITION MOON of coming to terms with loss and diminishment.

Each Lunar Phase represents a Divine Spirit or Archetype. The Spirit of the Perdition Moon is the embodiment of grief and loss. It is the gnawing sense of resources dwindling and being reduced. Perdition is diminishment and slow collapse.

It embodies the feeling that all the walls have fallen down and there is nothing to lean on. It is the spirit of consummate grief and lamentation for a loss. It is also the embodiment of that loss. It is the griever and also the subject of grief...

It is symbolized by grief-stricken Emperor Hadrian cradling the limp form of his beloved Antinous after his body had been recovered from the Nile.

The Scorpio Third Quarter Moon is precisely this sort of dull ache and sense of emptiness and loss.

Meditations and rituals carried out during this Lunar Phase are best suited for seeking to come to terms with loss and finding areas in your life where you may unconsciously be causing yourself loss or sadness. 


This Lunar Phase is not about giving in to loss and grief, but rather it is about moving through them to find new ways towards growth and fulfillment.

FRIDAY JANUARY 24th 2014

On Friday you can approach your boss with that long-delayed request for a pay increase when Mercury and Mars are in a constructive trine aspect. You go into important discussions armed with self-confidence and the right words to get your point across.


SATURDAY JANUARY 25th 2014

On Saturday you may want to sleep in late and keep the bed covers over your head when Mercury and Saturn form a 90-degree square angle to each other even at ANTINOUS THE MOON GOD aligns with moody Saturn. Misunderstandings prevail and a general atmosphere of gloom hangs over the first half of the weekend.


SUNDAY JANUARY 26th 2014

On Sunday what started out as a gloomy weekend ends up in sunshine when ANTINOUS THE MOON GOD forms nice aspects to the Sun and impulsive Uranus. Don't be surprised if you suddenly discover the answer to something which has been troubling for the longest time.


MONDAY JANUARY 27th 2014

On Monday the work week gets off to a brave new start when ANTINOUS THE MOON GOD is in a positive sextile with warrior planet Mars. Your courage will be matched only by your ambition today.


TUESDAY JANUARY 28th 2014

On Tuesday unwarranted and perhaps unwelcome surprises are in store when ANTINOUS THE MOON GOD squares off against Uranus. Don't be intimidated and don't allow yourself to doubt decisions you made on your own.


WEDNESDAY JANUARY 29th 2014

On Wednesday you will be glad you held on to your convictions on Tuesday when the Sun forms a positive sextile with Uranus — transforming the unhappy surprises of the previous day into more pleasant ones today.


THURSDAY JANUARY 30th 2014

On Thursday we come to one of the most joyous New Moons — the AQUARIUS NEW MOON — which in Antinous Moon Magic we call 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 this is the Year of the Wood Horse. Following the volatile last two years of the Water Dragon and the Fire Snake, we can certainly use the quiet and reassurance that the Wood Horse holds in store.


FRIDAY JANUARY 31st 2014

Another exciting week lies ahead between February 3rd and 9th as the Valentine's season opens when ANTINOUS THE MOON GOD is at right angles to the Sun for the Taurus First Quarter Moon which, in Antinous Moon Magic, we call the ANTINOUS AMOR MOON — is the moon of comfort and luxury and lovableness. It is the fresh bloom of love..... More details next time ....

Astro Forecast: January 16—26, 2014

Antinous Astrology Forecast

JANUARY 16 to 26, 2014


THURSDAY JANUARY 16th 2014

On Thursday you get all weepy during the Cancer Full Moon, which is the lunar phase we call the LUNUS MOON in Antinous Moon Magic. This is a Full Moon which brings out powerful emotions. But on top of that, your inner Venus and your inner Mars are at odds when the planets Venus and Mars are in a tight, 90-degree square aspect to each other. Talk about gender conflict! Many people can't cope when Mars and Venus go to war against each other. But in Antinous Moon Magic, this is the perfect astrological configuration for marshaling the powerful energies of BOTH Mars and Venus to allow you to transcend conventional gender restrictions. There is a very powerful, very beautiful warrioress inside you waiting for her marching orders!


FRIDAY JANUARY 17th 2014

On Friday that romantic blast from the past on Thursday really clears up some long-standing misunderstandings on Friday when Mercury and Uranus form a positive sextile aspect while ANTINOUS THE MOON GOD is in a tense configuration with Mercury. The atmosphere will be charged with electricity, but when the electrical storm subsides, the air will be clear of misunderstandings.


SATURDAY JANUARY 18th 2014

On Saturday be careful that you don't get in your own way when ANTINOUS THE MOON GOD squares off against Saturn while forming a sextile aspect to Mars. You have a nagging suspicion you are not doing the right thing and not making progress.


SUNDAY JANUARY 19th 2014

On Sunday you spend the day in dreamy cyberland, pursuing social network friends who seem to be more elusive than usual when ANTINOUS THE MOON GOD is in 180-degree opposition to nebulous Neptune.


MONDAY JANUARY 20th 2014

On Monday the work week begins on a sunny note when the Sun leaves dour Capricorn and flies into the airy sign of Aquarius. The next four weeks are about eliminating left-over barriers and hindrances from 2013 and creating new and innovative ways of forging forward. The fact that ANTINOUS THE MOON GOD is in positive aspects to Venus and Saturn gives an extra boost to the Aquarius Sun.


TUESDAY JANUARY 21st 2014

On Tuesday the Aquarius Sun forms an upbeat trine with ANTINOUS THE MOON GOD to speed you on your way to work ... or to go shopping, which is what the Libra Moon would prefer.


WEDNESDAY JANUARY 22nd 2014

On Wednesday brace yourself for a volatile atmosphere at work (or play, for that matter) when ANTINOUS THE MOON GOD is in very tense aspects to Uranus, Pluto, Jupiter and Venus. Co-workers will fly off the handle and bark at you for no good reason. Try to keep calm and not say something you will regret tomorrow.


THURSDAY JANUARY 23rd 2014

On Thursday we come to the Scorpio Third Quarter Moon. This is the Lunar Phase in Antinous Moon Magic which we call the PERDITION MOON of coming to terms with loss and diminishment. Meditations and rituals carried out during this Lunar Phase are best suited for seeking to come to terms with loss and finding areas in your life where you may unconsciously be causing yourself loss or sadness.

THE ANTINOUS LUNUS MOON
THE CANCER FULL MOON



TONIGHT's Cancer Full Moon is the lunar phase we call the LUNUS MOON in Antinous Moon Magic — the Moon of Moons!

This is a Full Moon which brings out powerful emotions. Because this Full Moon always occurs during December/January, it is emotional farewell to the old year and heart-felt welcoming of the new year.

You will shed sentimental tears for loved ones you have lost during the past year, not to mention a job or other things you may have lost.


Each lunar phase represents a Divine Spirit or Archetype. The Spirit of Lunus is Antinous the Moon God. It is your His lunar divine self.

Antinous the Gay God was worshiped in ancient times as a lunar deity. The "Man in the Moon" was actually the "Blessed Boy in the Moon" to the ancient worshipers of Antinous.

The Spirit of the Lunus Moon is the spirit of emotions, unconscious habits, rhythms, memories and moods. It is also your dreams and nostalgia. Lunus is the personification of the unconscious mind and it is all dreams and visions.

The OBELISK OF ANTINOUS states that he hears the prayers of his worshipers and sends them healing visions as they slumber. Lunus is the personification of intuition and mediumistic abilities.

Lunus is clairvoyance itself. Lunus is also the bringer of nightmares, fears, traumas and irrational emotional imbalance.

Just as the Moon moves the tides, Lunus brings emotional fluctuations. Lunus is inconstancy, inconsistency and flux. As the phases of the moon change, so Lunus is all things which flow and fluctuate. It is all things which come and go like the tides.
 

Tonight's Lunus Moon is a propitious time for meditations and rituals delving into your emotional state of being, and also for intuitive or clairvoyant trances.

Thursday, January 9, 2014

Astro Forecast: January 9—19, 2014

Antinous Astrology Forecast

JANUARY 9 to 19, 2014


THURSDAY JANUARY 9th 2014

On Thursday the first big astrological challenge of the New Year could throw you for a loop when war god Mars forms a 90-degree square angle with exaggeration-prone Retrograde Jupiter. This configuration makes you over-optimistic, over-eager and over-excited to prove yourself. You make New Year's resolutions you cannot possibly fulfill. You tell your boss you can handle a big project which far exceeds your capabilities. But there is a positive side to Mars-square-Jupiter. If you are chronically timid, this configuration helps you to throw caution to the winds and move forward on projects you otherwise would be too modest to attempt.


FRIDAY JANUARY 10th 2014

On Friday be sure to keep your eyes and ears open for an important bit of advice which will be beneficial to you during the coming year. ANTINOUS THE MOON GOD forms good aspects with Pluto, Jupiter, the Sun and Venus before going into opposition with the great teacher Saturn. You can expect Saturn to send you a message of advice ... possibly a verbal or visual message. But it could also be something you read by chance ... an advertisement you see on the way to work ... a voice on the car radio.


SATURDAY JANUARY 11th 2014

On Saturday it's time to take advantage of those Winter Clearance Sales and buy a new smartphone, tablet or other communications device when Mercury enters the tech-friendly and communications-conscious sign of Aquarius. This is the best time of year for communications technology upgrades from now until January 31st when Mercury enters dreamy Pisces and your mental faculties get a bit foggy.


SUNDAY JANUARY 12th 2014

On Sunday the weekend ends on a quietly romantic note when the Sun aligns in conjunction with love planet Venus and both are in a harmonious sextile to Saturn. Okay, the romance is muted and quiet because the Sun and Moon are both in Capricorn. But Scorpio Saturn probes the depths of some secret sexual yearnings.


MONDAY JANUARY 13th 2014

On Monday you can forget about getting any work done when ANTINOUS THE MOON GOD goes VOID OF COURSE for all time zones around the world — causing delays, rescheduling, lost messages and missed opportunities. Remember we always say you should think of ANTINOUS THE MOON GOD as your favorite rock or pop star giving a concert. The VOC MOON is the break between sets. The singer goes back stage for a costume change and psychs themselves up for the next set. Meanwhile, the audience is waiting impatiently out front while video projections and doo-wah girls fill the interlude. That's what a VOID OF COURSE MOON feels like. Nothing much will happen during this VOC period — nothing bad, but nothing good either, just nothing. But on the plus side, a VOC is perfect for meditation, dreamscaping and contacting the spirit world.


TUESDAY JANUARY 14th 2014

On Tuesday you should follow you intuition and be prepared for surprise encounters when ANTINOUS THE MOON GOD is in a dreamy trine with Neptune but squares off against Uranus. Trust your inner voice. Take advantage of "coincidental" encounters.


WEDNESDAY JANUARY 15th 2014

On Wednesday we come to the Cancer Full Moon, which is the lunar phase we call the LUNUS MOON in Antinous Moon Magic — the Moon of Moons! This is a Full Moon which brings out powerful emotions. Because this Full Moon always occurs during December/January, it is emotional farewell to the old year and heart-felt welcoming of the new year. You will shed sentimental tears for loved ones you have lost during the past year, not to mention a job or other things you may have lost....


THURSDAY JANUARY 16th 2014

On Thursday you can expect a romantic blast from the past when Retrograde Venus is in a 90-degree right angle aspect to Mars. Retrograde Capricorn Venus is emotionally cool, cautious and distrustful ... this is a good time to review, reassess, and revive your relationships ... and that means it may be time to end some career or personal relationships. Retrograde Capricorn Venus is nostalgic for "the good old days" ... so you can expect to hear from old friends and ex-lovers. You may not have seen them for years, and suddenly they show up on your doorstep ... and the two of you have a wonderful time reviving old memories ... and possibly reconciling old differences. In fact, Venus-Mars retrograde periods are often characterized by old lovers getting back together and re-marrying.


FRIDAY JANUARY 17th 2014

On Friday that romantic blast from the past on Thursday really clears up some long-standing misunderstandings on Friday when Mercury and Uranus form a positive sextile aspect while ANTINOUS THE MOON GOD is in a tense configuration with Mercury. The atmosphere will be charged with electricity, but when the electrical storm subsides, the air will be clear of misunderstandings.


SATURDAY JANUARY 18th 2014

On Saturday be careful that you don't get in your own way when ANTINOUS THE MOON GOD squares off against Saturn while forming a sextile aspect to Mars. You have a nagging suspicion you are not doing the right thing and not making progress.


SUNDAY JANUARY 19th 2014

On Sunday you spend the day in dreamy cyberland, pursuing social network friends who seem to be more elusive than usual when ANTINOUS THE MOON GOD is in 180-degree opposition to nebulous Neptune.

THE ANTINOUS INVICTUS MOON
THE ARIES FIRST QUARTER MOON



TONIGHT's Aries First Quarter Moon is the Lunar Phase we call the INVICTUS MOON, the Antinous Moon Magic spirit of Mithras.

Each Lunar Phase represents a Divine Spirit or Archetype. The Spirit of Invictus is the sonlight which gives the Moon its light. It is the spirit of the sun god.

Invictus is the bold light that shines forth from a gay man's eyes to illuminate those around him. It is the warmth of your every being.

It is the optimism which brightens a dismal day when things are going wrong. Invictus is indomitable, unbeatable, unconquerable.

It is a determined spirit which never admits defeat, never gives up, never quits.

Invictus is a beacon which dispels darkness and casts out shadows. It illuminates all dark corners and puts light on the deepest and darkest secrets. It brings everything out into daylight and sends creatures of darkness scurrying for shelter.

Invictus is constancy and dependability. It is that which can be relied upon. It is a source of ceaseless light, warmth and beneficence.

It is that which dispels all doubts and inconsistencies. Invictus is consistency itself, steadiness and permanence. Invictus is all things bright and good and the bringer of all joy.

In Antinous Moon Magic, tonight is an ideal time for meditation and rituals aimed at illuminating opaque situations or questions. It is well-suited for planning assertive, goal-oriented action aimed at whole-heartedly positive results.

Wednesday, January 1, 2014

Astro Forecast: January 1 — 12, 2014

Antinous Astrology Forecast

JANUARY 1 to 12, 2014


WEDNESDAY JANUARY 1st 2014

New Year's Eve fireworks will skyrocket through your personal life when Mars squares off against Pluto and Mercury gets into the fray by aligning with Pluto, both of them at odds with the war god. Tensions are especially tense because on New Year's Day both the Sun and the Moon pass by Pluto (which is wrestling with Uranus) on their way to form the Capricorn New Moon ... the lunar phase which in Antinous Moon Magic is called the LAMIA MOON of dark magic. Meditation and rituals conducted tonight are best suited for rooting out malaise and sickness and for diminishing evil sendings. Look for areas in your life where you may be detrimental to yourself, may be working against yourself or may be making yourself sick, perhaps literally so.


THURSDAY JANUARY 2nd 2014

On Thursday you will feel like getting together with friends and co-workers when ANTINOUS THE MOON GOD forms positive aspects to industrial Saturn and convivial Venus. That is a good recipe for banishing the post-holiday blues.


FRIDAY JANUARY 3rd 2014

On Friday you might seriously want to consider taking the day off from work and hiding under the bed when the stubborn Capricorn Sun is at right angles to aggressive Mars and equally stubborn Capricorn Mercury is in 180-degree opposition to exaggeration-prone Jupiter. Tempers will flare as people dig in their heels for life-or-death arguments and disputes about even the most trivial matters.


SATURDAY JANUARY 4th 2014

On Saturday you can't blame anybody but yourself if weekend chores don't come off right. Well, you could blame ANTINOUS THE MOON GOD for forming a square aspect to Saturn before then moving on into a conjunction alignment with dreamy Neptune. Instead of clearing out old magazines and newspapers, you find yourself sitting down in a pile of them and reading old articles ... and getting no work done.


SUNDAY JANUARY 5th 2014

On Sunday your expectations exceed by far your realistic hopes of attaining those expectations when the Sun and Jupiter are in opposition to each other. This configuration occurs once a year and tends to put a damper on optimism ... for 24 hours ... until the Sun moves on. Just just wait a day. Your expectations will be more in tune with your capabilities in a day or so.


MONDAY JANUARY 6th 2014

On Monday a sheer mountain of work has piled up on your desk when you arrive for work — but you will roll up your sleeves when Mercury forms a productive sextile with Saturn. And after work you will shift into a 12th Night partying mood when ANTINOUS THE MOON GOD forms gently positive aspects with Mercury, Saturn and Venus.


TUESDAY JANUARY 7th 2014

It is a scientific fact that many couples break up after the Yuletide holidays — but that couples who make it through January tend to stick together all year. On Tuesday Mercury aligns with Venus to put the right words into your mouth to make sure that your sweetie signs on for another year.


WEDNESDAY JANUARY 8th 2014

On Wednesday watch out for information overload when ANTINOUS THE MOON GOD is at right angles to Capricorn Mercury. You run the risk of drowning in a sea of facts and figures.


THURSDAY JANUARY 9th 2014

On Thursday the first big astrological challenge of the New Year could throw you for a loop when war god Mars forms a 90-degree square angle with exaggeration-prone Retrograde Jupiter. This configuration makes you over-optimistic, over-eager and over-excited to prove yourself. You make New Year's resolutions you cannot possibly fulfill. You tell your boss you can handle a big project which far exceeds your capabilities. But there is a positive side to Mars-square-Jupiter. If you are chronically timid, this configuration helps you to throw caution to the winds and move forward on projects you otherwise would be too modest to attempt.


FRIDAY JANUARY 10th 2014

On Friday be sure to keep your eyes and ears open for an important bit of advice which will be beneficial to you during the coming year. ANTINOUS THE MOON GOD forms good aspects with Pluto, Jupiter, the Sun and Venus before going into opposition with the great teacher Saturn. You can expect Saturn to send you a message of advice ... possibly a verbal or visual message. But it could also be something you read by chance ... an advertisement you see on the way to work ... a voice on the car radio.


SATURDAY JANUARY 11th 2014

On Saturday it's time to take advantage of those Winter Clearance Sales and buy a new smartphone, tablet or other communications device when Mercury enters the tech-friendly and communications-conscious sign of Aquarius. This is the best time of year for communications technology upgrades from now until January 31st when Mercury enters dreamy Pisces and your mental faculties get a bit foggy.


SUNDAY JANUARY 12th 2014

On Sunday the weekend ends on a quietly romantic note when the Sun aligns in conjunction with love planet Venus and both are in a harmonious sextile to Saturn.

SNEAK PREVIEW OF NEXT WEEK:

Another exciting week lies ahead between January 13th and 19th when we come to the Cancer Full Moon, which is the lunar phase we call the LUNUS MOON in Antinous Moon Magic — the Moon of Moons! This is a Full Moon which brings out powerful emotions. Because this Full Moon always occurs during December/January, it is emotional farewell to the old year and heart-felt welcoming of the new year. You will shed sentimental tears for loved ones you have lost during the past year, not to mention a job or other things you may have lost... More details next time ....
