Black Moon Lilith

The point where the Moon is farthest from Earth, read as what has been rejected or suppressed and the raw power that comes with reclaiming it.

Black Moon Lilith

Definition

Black Moon Lilith is not a body but a point: the apogee of the Moon's orbit, where it is farthest from Earth. It moves through the zodiac in about nine years. There are "mean" and "true" versions; Astrool uses the mean apogee.

Meaning

Named after Lilith of Jewish folklore, who refused to submit, it marks where you will not be tamed: desire, anger, sexuality, or a part of yourself you learned to hide. Its house shows the arena. In the karma report it is read alongside Pluto for deep transformation.
