Black Moon Lilith: The Dark Goddess of Defiance
The First Rebellion
Black Moon Lilith, named after Adam's first wife who refused to submit to patriarchal authority, represents our primal urge to rebel against societal constraints and embrace our authentic, untamed nature.
The Shadow Self
Lilith embodies our shadow self - the parts of us deemed too dark, too sexual, or too powerful for polite society. She represents the truth we hide behind social masks.
Raw Sexuality and Power
In astrology, Lilith represents uninhibited sexuality, raw feminine power, and the rejection of societal expectations regarding gender and relationships.
Calculating Lilith
Black Moon Lilith is not a physical body but rather the lunar apogee - the point in the Moon's orbit farthest from Earth. Like your deepest desires, it exists only as an empty point in space.
Three Liliths:
- Mean Lilith: The averaged position
- True Lilith: The actual apogee
- Oscillating Lilith: The difference between the two
Lilith in the Houses
The house placement of Lilith shows where you feel most alienated from society, where you resist conformity, and where you must face your deepest taboos.
Lilith Aspects
When Lilith forms aspects with other planets, it reveals how your rebellious nature interacts with different aspects of your psyche. These aspects highlight where you feel most compelled to reject conventional wisdom.
