Fundamentalist Christians are already saying the Russian meteor shower is a sign of the "Rapture" and "End Days" ... but Antinous the Gay God sees it as a sign it is time to break out of ages-old restrictions


Fundamentalist Christians are already saying the Russian meteor shower is a sign of the "Rapture" and "End Days" ... but Antinous the Gay God sees it as a sign it is time to break out of ages-old restrictions .... Hadrian certainly believed in heavenly omens ... he would know that exaggeration-prone Jupiter and liberation-minded Uranus are in a rare trine aspect today ... as are Mars and Pluto ... this break-loose, break-free mood will be at the critical point for the rest of this month, and it will recur later in the year ... Hadrian would have seen the meteors coming ... just as he saw the coming of the STAR OF ANTINOUS ....

Marcus Aurelius was about 9 years old when Antinous died in 130 AD


Marcus Aurelius was about 9 years old when Antinous died in 130 AD, but he was already a brilliant boy. When Aelius Ceasar died shortly after being chosen Emperor in 138, it is believed that Marcus was Hadrian's next choice. However, the ailing and grieving emperor felt that the 17-year-old Marcus was too young.

So Hadrian decided to elect Antoninus Pius instead, requiring Antoninus to choose Marcus and the son of Lucius, called Lucius Verus, to be Antoninus's successors in turn. This became known as the Dynasty of the Antonines, the last flowering of the glory that was Imperial Rome.

When he became emperor at age 40, Marcus Aurelius was one of the wisest rulers in history ... demonstrating the qualities Hadrian had seen in him as a boy ... hand-picked by the Divine Hadrian personally to become Emperor of Rome.
