Nature and Mythology of Lilith

Lilith, or the Black Moon, is not a physical celestial body. It is a fictitious point representing the apogee of the lunar orbit—the point of maximum distance of the Moon from the Earth. In a mythological context, Lilith embodies primordial femininity that refused submission and chose the path of exile and freedom. In astrological analysis, she acts as the point of maximum distortion of perception.

Role in the Natal Chart

Lilith indicates an area of life where the laws of logic or morality do not operate, but rather the laws of unconscious impulses. She oversees the following aspects:

• Psychological blind spots: spheres in which a person does not see reality, acting on the whims of illusions or hypertrophied fears.
• Zone of obsession: a place where an irresistible attraction arises, often bordering on fanaticism or addiction.
• Karmic debts: recurring scenarios that require conscious resolution through experiencing the "shadow" experience.

The analysis of Lilith requires studying her dispositor and aspects. For example, a square of Lilith to the Sun can create a deep internal conflict between the Ego and dark impulses, while a conjunction with Venus often brings magnetism, but also a tendency toward destructive romantic attachments.
