Hello, Haight-Ashbury!
Are you familiar with Lilith?
In some mythologies, Lilith was the first wife of Adam, and they were created at the same time. However, when faced with the choice of being subservient to her husband or leaving the paradise of Eden, Lilith defiantly chose the latter.
Nowadays, Lilith is seen by some as a symbol of empowerment, sexuality, self-determinism, unyielding conviction, nocturnal magics, shadow work, and feminine strength (to name just a few perspectives).
So what is Lilith in astrology?
While there is an asteroid named Lilith between Mars and Jupiter, Lilith generally refers to the Dark Moon Lilith (aka Black Moon Lilith). This point is either the second focus of the Earth-Moon orbit or the Moon’s apogee, both of which give the same degree of the Zodiac.
Like Lilith in mythology, Dark Moon Lilith in one’s chart is not easily defined… as if she’s still rejecting anyone putting her in a cage, gilded or not.
The best way perhaps to understand this aspect is to track her influence in your chart… the cycle is just under 9 years long, so your “Lilith Returns” would be around ages 9, 18, 26.5, 35, 44, 53, 62, 71, 79.5, etc.
During these periods, are you more prone to reject control (especially from male figures)? Do you experience sexual awakenings? Are you drawn to confront the shadows or explore your own power? Or maybe you are challenged by strong women?
Though exploring Lilith in your chart may be difficult, it can also be very empowering.
