Lilith

via [Cafe Astrology] Black Moon Lilith in the Natal Chart: Signs and Houses:

"[...] In your natal chart, where Lilith is by sign, house, and aspect is where you may have felt ashamed, shamed, ridiculed, stifled, deeply misunderstood, or repressed in some manner. For whatever reason, you are wary of expressing those traits or parts of your personality freely and unapologetically, and you can feel quite uncomfortable with people who are doing so.

There can also be a binging and purging cycle involved with the traits of Lilith’s sign or house wherein we overdo or go all out, expressing these traits in extreme, then feel bad for doing so. This leads to a purging stage in which we reject or deprive ourselves of the traits. Eventually, the need for them is strong and we go to extremes again, perpetuating this self-destructive cycle.

For example, with Lilith in Aries, the discomfort may be about asserting oneself. When a person with Lilith in Aries feels the need to assert themselves, it feels so wrong and unnatural that they do it in a choppy, extreme, and messy way. Afterward, they feel ashamed for this display and vow to not do it again. The cycle repeats until they’ve worked on accepting that self-assertion is their right.

To work through this, we need to learn to accept these traits in ourselves and express them in ways that we’ve transformed or made to fit our lives without fear or guilt. We may have too-high expectations of ourselves in these areas, and we can convince ourselves we don’t care. It’s difficult to go there since fear and shame can be mixed in, but it’s also empowering.

Lilith in Aries has felt that asserting themselves and making executive self-centered decisions is selfish or otherwise wrong. They may have felt shame for displaying self-centered traits, for taking the lead without asking, or for making self-centered choices. They may feel wary of people expressing Aries traits, largely because they are shocked at how they can do so without apology! There can be some fear of taking the lead, asserting oneself, and making executive decisions, but a simultaneous desire to do so, which can lead to extremes of behavior in these areas. Learning to accept these traits in themselves is the key. This can also apply to Lilith in the 1st house.

Lilith in Taurus has felt shame for self-indulgence, not sharing, holding onto possessions too tightly, and for enjoying themselves without apology. They feel guilty or wrong for doing these things, which can lead to all sorts of behaviors, whether it’s about hoarding, purging, or in between these extremes, but feeling ashamed for indulging oneself or getting comfortable. They may have a hard time feeling truly satisfied or sated, but can also fear the state of wanting. Perhaps they were punished in some manner for being slow, savoring things, or enjoying and indulging themselves. This can also apply to Lilith in the 2nd house.

Lilith in Gemini has felt shame for speaking too much or too little, or for their intelligence or social skills. They may be wary of people who seem to be indulgent in these ways — who are social butterflies or who talk too much or who seem to flaunt their intelligence. Their curiosity may have been stifled in some manner, and they can fear not being considered smart. They can be wicked with what they say when angry! Shame in these areas can lead to extremes of behavior and a feeling of being out of control. Working on self-acceptance is the key to empowerment. This can also apply to Lilith in the 3rd house.

Lilith in Cancer has felt ashamed for being needy or dependent for whatever reason and feels awkward or even angry with people who display these traits without apology. Their nurturing nature was stifled in some way and they can feel very uncomfortable asking for help and/or expressing their own nurturing nature as a result. This discomfort can lead to extremes of behavior in this area and then misgivings afterward, and the cycle then continues. Working on self-acceptance is the key to empowerment. This can also apply to Lilith in the 4th house.

Lilith in Leo has felt ashamed or otherwise wrong for calling special attention to themselves, for seeking the spotlight, or for seeking to be better than others in competitions. They may feel uncomfortable with people expressing these Leonine traits. This shame or discomfort can lead to extremes of behavior in these areas, which can exacerbate the problem. They need to find ways to accept the very natural need for applause. Self-acceptance is the key to moderation and empowerment. This can also apply to Lilith in the fifth house.

Lilith in Virgo has felt ashamed, off, or wrong about paying special attention to the practical side of life, attention to details, organization, and routines. They may go to pains to prove they’re not ordinary, worried, eager to please, or concerned about details enough to perfect a craft or project. Leaving many projects unfinished can be a sign of perfectionist expectations – this way, they don’t have to deal with the prospect of not producing something perfect. Extremes of behavior and binging/purging in these areas can be a sign of imbalance. Working on self-acceptance is the key to empowerment. This can also apply to Lilith in the sixth house.

Lilith in Libra has felt ashamed or wrong for needing companionship or seeking approval from others. Or, they may otherwise feel that dependency and compromise are weak and not “right”, and can feel uncomfortable with people who seem to need these things. In the absence of self-acceptance regarding these very real needs, extremes of behavior in these areas can be the result, and this perpetuates the cycle and the problem. Working on self-acceptance is the key to empowerment. This can also apply to Lilith in the seventh house.

Lilith in Scorpio has felt ashamed for the natural need for intimacy, attachment, and depth contact. They may feel wrong if they are expressing jealousy or possessiveness, attachment, etc., and can feel uncomfortable around those who are especially passionate and attached. Lack of self-acceptance in these areas can lead to extremes of behavior that exacerbate the problem. Empowering themselves involves working on accepting these qualities. This can also apply to Lilith in the eighth house.

Lilith in Sagittarius has felt ashamed for their curiosity, questions, restlessness, the need to challenge and question life/facts/beliefs, or the need to get away, expand, and seek meaning. They may feel uncomfortable around people who are expressing these Sagittarian traits, not quite trusting them. However, when feeling stressed, they can go to extremes in these areas. Working on self-acceptance is the key to empowerment. This can also apply to Lilith in the ninth house.

Lilith in Capricorn has felt ashamed or otherwise wrong for their desire to excel, succeed, or reach for worldly goals and ambitions, and they may feel uncomfortable around people who seem materialistic, status-conscious, or particularly business-minded and practical or ambitious. It can be hard to connect with their own ambitions and need for others’ esteem, but going there and allowing yourself to feel these needs can be life-changing. On the other hand, if they feel uncomfortable with these things, they can go to extremes in these areas and then feel badly afterward. The path to empowerment is self-acceptance and moderation. This can also apply to Lilith in the tenth house.

Lilith in Aquarius has felt ashamed or off for wanting to be part of a group, team, or community – for being one of the crowd – and can feel quite wary of people who seem to need these things. The answer is not to reject these basic needs since this can result in binging and purging on a social level–going all-out, feeling bad about it, hiding away, and then repeating the cycle again. Self-acceptance can help empower them and put an end to extremes of behavior in these areas. This can also apply to Lilith in the eleventh house.

Lilith in Pisces has felt ashamed or off for being needy, compassionate, or wishy-washy, or for their spiritual side, and this person can feel uncomfortable or annoyed with people who resist labels, who are not very assertive or ready to take the lead. Rejecting or feeling ashamed of their basic needs in these areas can lead to extremes of behavior and repeated cycles of binging and purging with these traits. The key to moderation and empowerment is self-acceptance. This can also apply to Lilith in the twelfth house.

Keep in mind that we have all of these signs within us, and none of them are any “better” than others — all signs are equal! However, with certain planets or points posited in signs and houses, we may feel more–or less–natural about the associated traits. Saturn is the biggest indicator of traits that we feel uncomfortable with, and Lilith is another such indicator – less so but still very revealing.

The key to resolving these issues is to accept and face them and then finding ways to integrate these traits in palatable ways in our lives. It’s about taking back areas of fear.

Is Lilith an indicator of a person’s sexuality? No, not explicitly. However, it can certainly point us to areas where we’re repressed or feel that are taboo or shameful, and some work through these issues in their sex lives, so like many astrological points, Lilith contains some shades of sexuality. For example, there can be domination themes with Lilith in Aries or Libra, ownership issues with Lilith in Taurus and Scorpio, and so forth. However, if you’re looking for how a person may act in bed, look to Venus, Moon, and Mars first, Eros next, and so forth."

LILITH in a SIGN (more interpretations via seedscientific.com):

"Lilith in Aries

If your Lilith is in Aries, you might have the spirit of rivalry. In this case, you might channel your anger into action and look for an outlet for these overwhelming emotions, even physical ones.

Because of your fierce emotions, you either get bored easily or have an unmatchable drive in your relationships.

Lilith in Taurus

Lilith in Taurus is a sensual and grounded spirit. You certainly know how to create a seductive atmosphere.

Lacking comfort and security, especially in relationships, can make you feel anxious. However, you might struggle with leaving situations that aren’t good for you.

Lilith in Gemini

The proverb “Curiosity killed the cat.” is not something a person with a Black Moon Lilith sign in Gemini fears. Because of your curiosity and communication skills, you would make a good writer or public speaker. However, your sharp tongue is undoubtedly a problem that can lead to major conflicts.

In your love sphere, you can run hot and cold, and you tend to lose interest as fast as you fall in love.

Lilith in Cancer

There is a lot of feminine power in Lilith in Cancer. You can either nurture or seduce. However, taking care of loved ones can be your major downside—your so-called “need to be needed” might exhaust you in the long term. That’s why it’s imperative for Cancer Liliths to set healthy boundaries.

Lilith in Leo

If you have this Lilith placement, you tend to captivate everyone’s attention, thanks to your high confidence and visual appeal. However, seeking other people’s approval might be your biggest downfall.

While adoring yourself and focusing on aesthetics and beauty is certainly positive, you might tend to come off as vain and superficial in relationships.

Lilith in Virgo

Perfectionism and attention to detail are no joke if your Lilith is in Virgo. Thanks to your keen eye, you might have a successful career in either photography or fashion.

While being a perfectionist might be beneficial in your professional life, it can be quite a turn-off in relationships. In that regard, you may want to avoid extremely high standards and controlling behavior.

Lilith in Libra

A common trait among individuals with Lilith in Libra is their continuous search for balance, especially in relationships. They strive to look for a loving and strong partner—an ideal person they can romanticize.

However, they might feel disappointed once they know that a certain person doesn’t meet their high standards and unrealistic expectations.

Lilith in Scorpio

Although Lilith doesn’t have an official sign, many astrologers argue that Scorpio is its ruler. This is due to Scorpio’s association with dark and taboo concepts, such as sex and death. In this placement, Lilith amplifies its powers of seduction and spirituality.

Lilith in Sagittarius

If you take the idea of “life of the party” on a whole new level, your Lilith placement might be in Sagittarius. You want to experience everything in life, from exotic vacations and wild parties to dangerous activities that can severely affect your health.

Additionally, patience is not your virtue. You might act irrationally or too straightforwardly, causing unpleasant and destructive situations.

Lilith in Capricorn

If your Lilith is in Capricorn, you want to achieve power and status. In relationships, your attraction toward success can be your biggest downfall as you may forget the importance of having an emotional connection with your partner.

Although you cannot tame your insatiable thirst for power, try to keep it balanced by having meaningful relationships.

Lilith in Aquarius

Freedom is a must if your Lilith is in Aquarius. You tend to have a rebellious and revolutionary attitude towards society. You usually don’t feel a sense of belonging as the status quo easily bores you.

When it comes to relationships, you seek people with the same unconventional points of view as you.

Lilith in Pisces

Daydreaming is very common among individuals with Lilith in Pisces. You have a sense of escapism that is second to none. It’s easy for you to get lost in your dreams in order to avoid the reality in front of you.

Because of this, you’re most likely to fall into addiction if you’re not careful. On the positive side, your vivid imagination helps you thrive in creative careers like poetry and music.

In astrology, Lilith is known as the “dark moon” or the “unseen planet.” She is associated with intuition, psychic abilities, and hidden knowledge. Lilith is also believed to be a powerful feminine force—one that can also be seen as dangerous. 

In many ways, she represents the shadow side of our nature. However, it is essential to remember that Lilith is not necessarily evil; instead, she represents the power of the feminine principle in all of us. Through understanding and acceptance, we can learn to work with our dark side—instead of suppressing it—and harness its power for good."

ASPECTS OF LILITH:

https://astral-obscura.tumblr.com/post/165913738928/aspects-of-lilith

"Black Moon - Fascination and Denial

Lilith is a fictional point - the second empty focal point of elliptical orbit of the Moon around the Earth.

In mythology, Lilith refused to submit to Adam, rebelled against the connection between Adam and Eve, decided to escape from the world of people and made a connection with Satan.

In astrology, Lilith symbolises either fascination or refusal of topics with which she is connected with. Both, the fascination or the rejection of the given topics, can eventually engulf the person and take him "away" from the human world."

via "Black Moon Lilith in the Zodiac Signs – Interpretations"

[...]It’s interesting that Black Moon Lilith is in each zodiac sign for about nine months, the normal length of a pregnancy.[...]

The distance from the Moon to Earth varies constantly. In its elliptical revolution around the Earth, the Moon has a point closest to Earth (the perigee, at about 356,000 kilometers from Earth) and another point farthest from Earth (the apogee, at about 406,000 kilometers).

This perigee-apogee axis is not fixed but moves constantly at a rate of 40 degrees each year, that is, from 6 to 7 minutes of arc each day.

In other words, the perigee-apogee axis makes a complete revolution through the Zodiac in about 3232 days, or in about eight years and just over ten months.

The apogee end of this axis is Lilith (or the Black Moon).

Thus, Lilith is not a planet, but a point in space without a physical body. This is like the ascendant in a birth chart, which also doesn’t have a physical body but is mathematically calculated. However, these key points in space don’t need to have mass or a body to act on us.[...]"

via "Introduction To Black Moon Lilith"

"Lilith is associated with feminine power, feminine sexual power. But Lilith is not just for women; if you are familiar with Jung’s concepts of the animus and anima, women have a subconscious male energy, the animus, while men have a subconscious female energy, the anima. So even in a manly man Lilith position has its merit.

Lilith is often prominent in the charts of women who are noted for being direct and powerful, and in some way provocative. Lilith relates to the moon. It is the feminine shadow side of the moon. What society rejects as appropriate for the feminine, Lilith takes up. I find it interesting that Dita Von Teese has become famous not only as the former wife of Marilyn Manson but also as a burlesque dancer. Feminine, provocative, taboo, successful, Dita has Lilith as part of her stellium in Libra."
