LILITH INTERPETATIONS Black Moon M oon in the 1st house: Strong influence of the values of the Black Moon in the native's personality. Intense passions - but they may be hidden in the depths of the unconscious mind (Pandora's box) . Extremely violent emotions at times. Rebellious Rebellious nature, which which can engage in fights against patriarchal authority. In a female chart, in particular, this can mean great difficulties difficulties and conflicts conflicts with the t he father. Profound Profound connection with occult occult mysteries. Natural understanding of the hidden laws of nature. Having Black Moon Moon in the first house is an in vitation for the native to study the myth myth of Lilith an d ponder on its implications. Black Moon M oon in the 2nd house: Black Moon, symbol of anti-establishment and profound emotional intensity in the house of finances. Black Moon Moon creates extremely strong fascinations which are n ot devoid of a certain degree of ambivalence. In the house of finances, this can mean a deeply conflictive relationship to money: on the one hand, hating ha ting it as a symbol of enslaving enslaving establishment; on the other hand, secretly desiring it with fiery intensity. Sometimes the native denies himself/herself money, by unconsciously making life choices which lead to situations of material scarcity. Even if the native is quite successful materially, Black Moon Moon in the second house can indicate deep fears related to money and taxes fear of losing everything, everything, in par ticular. If they are not identified and worked through, these fears could lead to misjudgments and wrong decisions decisions at critical times of their life. Black Moon M oon in the 3rd house: Black Moon, symbol of the deepest inner passions in the house of brothers and sisters and communication. communication. This position can manifest in several different different ways. One of them is the death of a brother or sister during one's ear ly years. years. If such death has taken t aken place (even if only in the form of a miscarr iage by the mother), it is likely to have left an extremely profound profound imprint in the native's psyche. psyche. It can be an ambivalent fascination-fear of death, or a deeply ingrained belief that one ha s no right to live. In any case it calls for a thorough work of self exploration - the long term consequences of the event are likely to be much deeper than you may think at first. Black Moon Moon in the thir d house can also indicate that the na tive finds in writing (notes, a journal, or even stories or books) books) an outlet for the deep passions and emotions of his/her unconscious mind. Engaging in communication with others can be a way of touching touching and addressing a ddressing profound profound issues inside i nside oneself. Black Moon M oon in the 4th house: Black Moon, Moon, which relates to the deepest deepest emotions and passions, in the house of the deepest depth of the personality.

In the house of the home, Black Moon can indicate a bottomless wound related to the family environment in ear ly years, years, such as death of the mother, separation from one's family, major major trauma tra uma during infanthood - or even earlier, in the womb. Whether you had a family or not, it is likely to have left a heavy weight on your shoulders! Because of the ambivalence between fascination and abhorrence so intrinsically linked to the symbolism of the Black Moon, this position position can also manifest as a burning need to cut one's family roots and disconnect from one's parents. If you find that you often change the place where you live, then you should ask yourself whether this ha s something to do with your your Black Moon in the 4th house - never feeling really at home anywhere because of an unconscious unconscious wound, rather than with climate or r eal estate reasons. On the higher mode, Black Moon Moon in the 4th can in dicate a natural affinity and understanding of spiritual and occults laws, a profound profound intuition which can know the mysteries of the creation. This goes with an extraordinarily sharp perception perception of other people's people's emotions and fundamental motivations. motivations. Black Moon M oon in the 5th house: Black Moon Moon in the house of affairs, creativity, and childr en. In a female chart, this position can indicate a great ambivalence as far as having children is concerned: on the one hand, extremely intense desire (but Black Moon desires are like violent and hidden passions); on the other hand repulsion and deep fears (as in fear of delivery, delivery, for instance, or fear of hating one's child). If the these unconscious or semi-unconscious issues are not resolved, they can lead to difficulties in conception. Similar symbolism applies to creativity in general. The need for perfection perfection can be extremely intense, intense, making the native work hard a nd for long hours to realise his/her objectives. It can also become paralysing at times, as in not doing an ything by fear of doing something that would not be good enough. If a harmonious har monious relationship to one's unconscious unconscious mind can be established, then this position can lead to an outpouring of creativity, creativity, and also to great originality (as in the non-conformist non-conformist nature of the rebellious Lilith.) Black Moon M oon in the 6th house: Lilith in the workplace. In the house of daily routines and attitudes to work, Black Moon, symbol of rebellion and anti-establishment, can of course lead to unconventional activities in which one is not subjected to anyone and freed from enslaving routines. It can also lead to systematically challenging the authority of one's boss(es), and therefore to difficulties in securing a stable sta ble professional professional position. But the values of the Black Moon are deep and often unconscious, and so the rebellious tendencies may not even be perceived by the native. The result may simply be slumber - going from day to day without questioning one's role on the planet, or why one carries on with a particular part icular job. The 6th house h ouse also relates to health. For the purpose of of healing, it
3
may be extremely important to know that a person's Black Moon is located in the 6th. Disease can then take a highly symbolic significance, meaning that observed symptoms are not to be understood and treated for what they are by themselves, but for the profound emotional forces which reflect into them from the deepest of the psyche. More than ever, it is the whole person that must be treated, and not his/her symptoms. Black Moon in the 7th house: Super-charged relationships and quest for perfection. The Black Moon relates to the deepest and most hidden parts of the psyche; the 7th house relates to close relationships. This can ma ke the native project extremely high emotional charges onto partners and close friends. Personal attractions (and repulsions) can be exceptionally intense. Relationships can thus bring profound healing and/or an exacerbation of the deepest psychological wounds. This position is an invitation for the native to take a close look at whether they do project violent emotions onto the people with whom they are closely associated. Black Moon - Lilith carries a profound longing for the absolute. Transposed to relationships this means you are likely to have high expectations of your partners, and thus be mortally disappointed when you realise they are not perfect like God. Withdrawing from relationships in such times of crisis can be a grave mistake, as these crises are often self-engineered to reveal profound aspects of yourself and allow resolution of your deeper conflicts, and healing. Black Moon in the 7th is also a factor to attract people of great independence and originality to you - people with the qualities of Lilith: full-on passions and emotions, rebellious nature, dislike of patriarchal establishment an d a need for absolute perfection. With this position, returns of the Black Moon to the native Black Moon can bring upheavals in r elationships. The more prepared the native is, the more these upheavals are likely to take the shape of healthy new beginnings, rather than painful crises. Black Moon in the 8th house: The chart's most metaphysical point in the house of sexuality, death, and occult magnetism. Black Moon in the 8th house can make sexuality awesome, sacred, magic - a ritual that puts you in touch with the deepest parts of your psyche. This position goes well with a need for extremes, and even a quest of the absolute in one's sexual experiences. But if the native is disconnected from the depth of his psyche, the result can be the opposite: an empty sexuality which does not create much satisfaction, or even a disinterest in sex. One step further and it can be a complete denial - Lilith is the one who says 'No!'. This denial is in reality a denial of one's inner conflicts. Through inner work, a complete turnaround can take place. With Black Moon in the 8th house, the death of relatives or acquaintances is likely to have a profound psychological impact on the native. It can trigger deep crises, but also realisations, and therefore changes. In the house of occult magnetism, Black Moon can signify a natural affinity with secret laws of nature an d a great intuition of the
4
hidden things of life.
Black Moon in the 9th house: Black Moon - Lilith, the power to reject all limi tations, in the house of transcending limits. This position can give a great sense of the absolute, and an unabated idealism. It can thus lead to a rejection of conventional studies as being futile and failing to address the reality of life. On the higher mode, this can lead to a spiritual quest of a high level, fed by relentless aspiration and fascination with the goal, and devoid of any form of compromising. On a not so high mode, it can translate into a rejection of intellectuality, to which deep instinctual knowingness is preferred. In an y case, there is likely to be a profound integration of instinct and knowledge; the native knows 'the inside of things', using his/her sharp in tuition and capacity to penetrate the intimate nature of things and people. The returns of Black Moon on its native position can lead t he native to a profound rethinking of his/her values, belief system, and position in the world. These are key times in life during which the native can feel the push to engage in a completely different path and start a new life. Black Moon in the 10th house: Great potential for originality and independence of mind, and the need to find a professional occupation where these may flourish. Black Moon Lilith, by nature, does not like rigid establishment or anything that resembles patriarchal a uthority. In the house of career, this may lead to avoiding conventional forms of profession, and seeking for unusual activity. The native can become marginal. Even if he/she is not, th ere are likely to be times with a huge pull to be self employed - and also times of open conflict with one's boss. (Anyone with the Black Moon in this position will be well inspired to practise deep breathing for a few minutes before engaging in any kind of potentially-heated discussion with their boss.) There is a deep potential for originality, which will blossom in creative occupations (where this originality can become an advantage, not a handicap). Black Moon in the 10th enhances the challenge of finding the right activity in life - the one in which you can blossom and fully express your individual nature. Look for the transits of Black Moon on Black Moon as times when major changes of direction and professional occupation may occur. Because the Black Moon is related to the deepest emotional strata of the psyche, it is essential to keep one's emotional clarity during these periods, so as to make right choices and decisions. Black Moon in the 11th house: Quest of perfection in friendship and need to match idealism with reality. Black Moon - Lilith's absolutism can lead the native to be extremely selective - and also demanding - when it comes to friendship. There is also a risk of projecting onto one's friends huge emotional demands, and of unconsciously using relationships with them to work
5
one's deep emotional conflicts. At times, th is can lead to feeling betrayed by one's friends, especially when they find it difficult to cope with the pressure that placed on th em. The need for absolute and perfection is also likely to bring the desire to make great contributions to the collectivity - doing something unique that would benefit humanity. This can lead to great realisations, but it also calls for the necessity to cultivate realism. Sometimes, by wanting to give only the best, one ends up giving nothing at all. Black Moon in the 12th house: An invitation to transcend all limi tations and dive into cosmic existence. An invitation to dive into the unconscious and explore the depth of one's nature. Without such in-depth exploration, massive unresolved conflicts may completely block the native's expression in the world, and attract dramatic life circumstances. Black Moon in the 12th is like a wound, but a wound in the highest meanin g of the term - a gateway into one's absolute depth. With it comes a challenge: find your essence and be yourself completely, or suffer the slings and arrows of (often self-inflicted) outrageous fortune - karma, samskaras... you name it! Black Moon - Lilith, like a powerful guardian angel, will not allow you to sleep blissfully through a life in which you could reach awakening. On the higher mode, this is an extremely powerful position. There is great wisdom and intuitive knowingness of hidden things associated with the Black Moon; and the 12th is the house of final maturity, where all aspects of life are recapitulated and r ealised in a higher spiritual unity.
LILITH ASPECTS Sun-Black Moon conjunction: Being conjunct to the Sun makes the Black Moon extremely powerful. Especially (but not only) in a female chart, a major aspect of Black Moon to the Sun tends to create a 'Lilith character': strong-willed, stubborn, independent mind and lover of freedom, original, non-conformist, r ebellious, passionately disliking routines and enslavement at large. Lilith was the woman who did not need Adam and left him - not a common thing to do in early biblical times - one reason being that she bluntly refused to lie under him during lovemaking. There is a profound need to go beyond limitations of all kinds. This, naturally, leads the native to challenge establishment. At times, it will create difficulties; a Lilith character does not hesitate to tell her/his boss what she/he thinks of him, and can' t give a damn about consequences once she/he has made up her mind to do something. The eyes shine, at times defiantly. The personality is sharp, with a marked taste for intensity. This, in Clairvision language, corresponds to violent astrality - venom in large measure! There are strong likes and dislikes, and a tendency to know immediately whether one likes someone or not.
6
This may have to do with the profound insights into the psychological motivations of other people. Being herself/himself so well in touch with her/his shadow, the native has a fine understanding of other people's psyche. A Lilith char acter is often subtle, with a great sense of nuances, and an EXTREME sensitivity. Problems with the father: With this aspect, it is not rare to find that the native had major problems with the father (especially in the chart of a female). Either the father was absent, or perceived as absent, or was fought against. There is likely to be some deeply rooted wound in the psyche, relating to the father, with profound consequences on the whole organisation of the personality. In symbolical terms this conflict with the father goes far beyond childhood scenarios. It is the father image, in its widest meaning, which is involved here. Think of Lilith, angr y at God for making her subjected to Adam's authority (and patriar chal establishment at large), and lamenting, "How could He [God the Father] do that to me?" It is the same wound that you are carrying. It was so deep that it never healed. When experienced on its highest level, a major aspect of Black Moon to the Sun can make the native quite psychic: premonitory dreams, intuition, natural affinity with the hidden mysteries of life, and clairvoyance.

Moon-Black Moon conjunction: A major aspect of the Black Moon to the Moon tends to add depth and stamina to it. The Moon, which by itself can be rather mellow, is reinforced by the qualities of independence and originality associated with the Black Moon, which many a strologers associate with Lilith the rebel, the woman who was created at the same time as Adam, not after him, and who separated from him because she could not bear to be subjected to his authority. The Moon and Black Moon are both related to the subconscious and unconscious parts of the psyche. People with this aspect are likely to be quite in touch with the depth of themselves. Consequently, at times there will be extremely violent emotions the monsters of the depth ar e not buried far away, as they are in most people; they tend to manifest more directly in the person's mind. But on the higher mode, the result of a Black Moon - Moon major aspect can be an exceptional intuition. In particular, the person can understand other people and feel what they feel as if they were inside them. There is also likely to be easy access to clairvoyance and higher aspects of spiritual Sight. With this aspect, it is likely that th e transits of the Black Moon on the native Moon and Black Moon will be felt with great intensity. On the lower mode, they may cause periods of emotional instability. But on the higher mode (if the native has worked on himself/herself) they may be times when great inner insights can be achieved, as well as remarkable spiritual progress.

Mercury-Black Moon conjunction: Adds depth to Mercury, and connection between the conscious and subconscious levels of the mind. Mercury can only gain in depth from its a ssociation with the Black Moon. The Black Moon adds sharpness and wit. Mercury allows an expression of the profound values associated with the Black Moon (which signifies the unconscious levels of the psyche). The combination can bring wisdom, as well as intuition. On a simple level, this intuition will result in instant and extremely accurate insights into other people's emotions - knowing their nature from the inside, rather than judging them by their facade. The understanding of other people's psychology also has to do with the fact that the native's own inner life is quite sophisticated and complex. Mercury stands for the conscious mind, Black Moon for the subconscious and unconscious parts of the psyche. The association of the two means that there are more bridges between the different levels of the psyche than in other individuals. This will not always be easy to bear. At times, this open communication between conscious and unconscious mind will trigger heavy emotions, crises, anxiety or even depression. Still, it is the foundation for a high degree of self knowledge. With this aspect, you will be well advised to watch the transits (passages) of Black Moon on the natal Mercury and Black Moon. These may be times when profound rearrangements of your thought patterns take place, and therefore golden opportunities to achieve a great amount of work on yourself. Conversely, the less you know yourself,
12
the more these transits may result in situations of inner crisis. On a higher level, this aspect of Mercury to the Black Moon can help you become quite psychic (Clairvision higher mode). For Lilith-Black Moon, a highly metaphysical point in the chart, is plugged directly into your Mercury-mental consciousness. This means a natural affinity with the hidden mysteries of life, and a great capacity to fathom them.

On a simple level, this intuition will result in instant and extremely accurate insights into other people's emotions - knowing their nature from the inside, rather than judging them by their facade. The understanding of other people's psychology also has to do with the fact that the native's own inner life is quite sophisticated and complex. Mercury stands for the conscious mind, Black Moon for the subconscious and unconscious parts of the psyche. The association of the two means that there are more bridges between the different levels of the psyche than in other individuals. This will not always be easy to bear. At times, this open communication between conscious and unconscious mind will trigger heavy emotions, crises, anxiety or even depression. Still, it is the foundation for a high degree of self knowledge. On a higher level, this aspect of Mercury to the Black Moon can help you become quite psychic (Clairvision higher mode). For Lilith-Black Moon, a highly metaphysical point in the chart, is plugged directly into your Mercury-mental consciousness. This means a natural affinity with the hidden mysteries of life, and a great capacity to fathom them. Mercury-Black Moon sextile: Adds depth to Mercury, and connection between the conscious and subconscious levels of the mind. Mercury can only gain in depth from its a ssociation with the Black Moon.

Venus-Black Moon conjunction: Black Moon adds depth and originality to Venus. On one level, the combination can be excellent. Venus has several wonderful sides, but by itself can sometimes be superficial. From that point of view, it can only benefit from the exacting influence of Black Moon, and of its need for ideal, absolute and perfection. This can lead to powerful realisations, not only in the field of arts, but also in several other professional activities - provided they can be an outlet for your creativity. (Black Moon does enhance the creative side of Venus. In many cases, it a lso adds a metaphysical dimension to it.) Because the need for perfection can be extreme, you must make sure that it does not become paralysing (as in the case of people who prefer to refrain from relationships rather than being with someone who is not the absolute perfect match, or people who prefer to create nothing rather than run the risk of creating something imperfect). Venus, planet of desire, can also be taken deep down into the unconscious realms of Black Moon -Lilith. Thus Venus - Black Moon aspects have a number of points in common with Venus - Pluto aspects. At their maximum, they can lead to devouring desires and passions. They can also cause the native to be magnetically attracted to dangerous people or situations. In particular, carefully watch who enters your life at the time of a return of Lilith (transiting Black Moon conjunct to native Black Moon). The person is likely to move something deep in your unconscious mind and have a profound impact on your belief system and your values, which could result in significant changes in your life.

Mars-Black Moon conjunction: Key Words: the Mars stamina pulled towards the inner universe. The Black Moon, with its metaphysical depth and its in timate relationship to the deepest of the human psyche, can significantly modify the significance of Mars in a chart. It adds an occult dimension to it. It makes the native more likely to use his/her Mars energy to work on himself/herself and explore inner worlds rather than only being concerned with external things an d the material world. It can give a str ong need to follow a spiritual path and explore the hidden mysteries of existence rather than just being engaged in materialistic pursuits. The conjunction and the opposition, in particular, give sharp astral energy in plenty and are excellent aspects for becoming an ISIS practitioner, to explore the depth of the human subconscious, or to deal with occult matters.
17
But at times, the pull towards the depth of the psyche can also result in a paralysis of the Mars stamina, caused by deep unresolved conflicts. Profound inner upheavals can then make the native go through phases of an 'eclipsed Mars', losing their sense of direction and being unable to achieve in the world. This is a general characteristic about the Black Moon: to those who are in touch with the depth of themselves, it gives sharpness and adds even further depth. But to those who are disconnected from their own depth, it can creates crises of great magnitude. Mars-Black Moon opposition: Key Words: the Mars stamina pulled towards the inner universe.

Jupiter-Black Moon conjunction: Key words: Jupiter sharpened by the Black Moon, or bogged in the shadow. Jupiter can greatly benefit from the sharp, exacting nature of the Black Moon. The need for perfection and the absolute, which is inherent to the Black Moon can give direction to Jupiter's values of expansion and growth, and thus help it gain momentum and achieve in the world. With this aspect, your Jupiterian power of material realisation depends a great deal on your clarity of purpose and your sense of integrity. If there is no truth for you in a project or a particular job, better not waste you time on it; your Jupiter enthusiasm would refuse to support you in it, and you would be likely to achieve but mediocre results. Conversely, when you feel that truth is on your side, you can find deep inner resources that make you unstoppable. Another possible scenario with this aspect is that the shadow side of the Black Moon, i.e. deep psychological conflicts buried in your
19
subconscious mind, obliterate the expansion power of Jupiter. Put in simple terms, this means that if you have difficulties achieving anything substantial in the material world, it could well be because the power of your subconscious and unconscious mind is in the way. This can mean that a thorough exploration is needed. But for some people, it can be the opposite: too much self-exploration renders the shadow more invalidating! Rather than a simple formula, what is needed here is the establishment of a harmonious relationship with the unconscious parts of your mind. This aspect suggests that you should watch the transits of the Black Moon on your native Black Moon and Jupiter. At these times, the question of the relationship between unconscious and power of action in the world are likely to be particularly acute. The more prepared you are for them, the more those crises are likely to result in positive readjustments of your activities and goals, rather than in 'bogs' in which you have no taste for action.

Saturn-Black Moon conjunction: Aspects between the Black Moon and Saturn are powerful, in particular because of the affinity of the two objects (in the Kabbalah, Lilith is related to the planet Saturn). The Black Moon's aspiration for perfection and the rigorous, exacting nature of Saturn r einforce each other. The combination can result in an extreme need for purity. If Saturn is strong in the chart, this is an aspect for brown rice and a carefully selected diet (not one mouthful in excess), and great cleanliness in general. There is a profound need for inner clarity. This also has to do with the fact that at times, Saturn can get locked in the shadow side of the Black Moon. Unless great inner clar ity has been achieved, this may result in phases of gloomy depression. Watch in particular the periods when the Black Moon transits the natal Saturn and Black Moon. These are potential times of crisis. If unprepared, their intensity may take you by surprise. The more you know yourself and have explored the depth of your unconscious mind, the more these times of tran sits are likely to bring realisations and positive change in your life rather t han depression. On the higher mode, both the Black Moon and Saturn are potentially very wise. They both have depth and reinforce each other in intensity. Combined with Saturn's inherent structuring power, the sharpness of Black Moon can flourish in intelligence and wit. The result is a N.B.Y. (Not Born Yesterday) person who cannot be fooled by appearances and knows how to respond to all situations.

Uranus-Black Moon conjunction: The Black Moon reinforces the independent and original nature of Uranus. If well aspected to the rest of the chart, it can be an extremely creative aspect. Black Moon - Lilith and Uranus have a number of features in common: taste for independence, dislike of routines and anything which can perceived as enslaving constraints, affinity with original things, and a rebel - if not rebellious - nature. (In Kabbalistic mythology, Lilith was Adam's first wife. She rebelled and left him because she did not want to be subjected to his control.) On the lower mode, this aspect can enhance the potential restlessness associated with Uranus and make it difficult for the native to stick to long term enterprises or follow any kind of discipline. On the higher mode, the sharpness and originality of Black Moon will reinforce the imagination an d creativity of Uranus. On an even higher mode, the metaphysical depth of the Black Moon combines with Uranus in the char t of great visionaries such as Sri Aurobindo (Mars, Uranus, Black Moon conjunct in the 12th), or Edgar Cayce (opposition). Think also of the depth of vision of people such as John Kennedy (opposition), or Steven Spielberg (opposition).

Neptune-Black Moon conjunction, opposition, trine, square, sextile; An aspect which can str ongly reinforce the mystical nature of Neptune, and add metaphysical dimension to its inspiration. The combination can be highly prophetic. But with Neptune, things always run the r isks of remaining blurry especially knowing that Black Moon relates to the depths of the unconscious. It is only when someone has done the inner work which allows them to realise the spiritual potential of Neptune that the support of this aspect to Black Moon can be experienced. If fully developed, this aspect can take cosmic proportions. Think for instance of the immense vision of Rudolf Steiner (conjunction Mercury - Black Moon - Neptune in the 5th house), or other famous teachers who had a Black Moon - Neptune opposition, such as Max Heindel or Paramahansa Yogananda. The more Neptune is aspected to other planets in the chart, the more this aspect will be significant, adding a Black Moon touch to the personality: sharpness, inner depth and need for perfection (which combines with Neptune's idealism).

Pluto-Black Moon conjunction, opposition; An aspect which can strongly reinforce the occult nature of Pluto, giving tremendous insight into the hi dden mysteries of life and sharp astral energy in plenty. On the lower mode: rich, complex and tenacious sexual fantasies or on the contrary, fear of sexuality. On the higher mode, the need for purity, perfection and absolute can be extreme. There is also an immense potential of energy available to realise one's goals, but one needs to be able to go deep inside oneself to contact it and tap from it. In the conjunction and the opposition, the meeting of Hades and Lilith can make great esotericists, magicians - but also necromancers. Think of people such as Yogananda (Black Moon - Pluto opposition), Gurdjieff (trine), Ramdass (trin e), Samuel Sagan (opposition), Rajnesh (square in the birth chart, opposed in the chart of death). But think also of Adolf Hitler (very significant conjunction in the 8th house), or Aleister Crowley (opposition). And, last but not least - Shirley MacLaine (in the m idheaven).

Nth Node-Black Moon conjunction, opposition:
27
Sth Node-Black Moon opposition. Conjunction; Black Moon - Lilith aspected to the axis of the Dragon (Nodes). Carefully watch for the returns of Black Moon (transiting Black Moon conjunct natal Black Moon) . These are times where profound life changes can take place, and when extreme inner clarity will be needed, so as to make choices which take you in a positive direction, rather than letting yourself be swayed by inner emotional waves. Notice also that the Nodes revolve in 18 years. Meaning that every nine years or so, one of the transiting Nodes becomes conjunct to one of the natal Nodes. Nine years is also the time it takes for Black Moon to operate a revolution. Hence combined returns of Black Moon and the Nodes, which can have a m ajor impact in the life of the person. During these periods, there is a potential for great transformation (which are never completely easy), and for taking new life directions. These times of transits ar e precious opportunities which must not be wasted.

Black Moon-Ascendant conjunction, opposition, trine, square, sextile: This position is found in people who have a major affinity with Black Moon - Lilith, the archetype of the rebel - the woman who was created at the same time as Adam (not after him like Eve), and who refused to be subjected to his authority. This aspect to the Black Moon is a factor of depth, and as such it
28
influences the whole astrological chart. The symbolism is one of great independence of mind, originality, and creativity. There is a profound dislike for the limitations imposed by patriarchal establishment, and for situations which are perceived as limiting personal freedom. Despite great inner strength, people who have an affinity with the Black Moon are often extremely sensitive. This is because they are in touch with deep values inside themselves and other people (the more people are connected to the depth of themselves, the less they are likely to be insensitive). The Black Moon also brings a taste for perfection and absolute. On the higher mode, this aspect indicates psychic abilities, and the capacity to perceive the hidden side of things.
Black Moon-Midheaven conjunction, opposition, trine, square, sextile: The symbolism of the Black Moon is associated with Lilith, who, according to the Kabbalistic tradition, showed qualities of extreme independence. As she hated to be subjected to Adam's authority, she left him to lead her own life - not a common thing to do in biblical times! The import of this aspect is to be understood in the line of Lilith's myth. The qualities of independence can be extremely beneficial on the professional level, bringing a sense of direction and goals. (If the person lacks a sense of direction, then it is likely that they need to be more in touch with the values associated with the Black Moon.) But, if you are not cautious, the rebel nature of Lilith could work against you at times. The Black Moon is not parti cularly diplomatic! You may well find yourself involved in some heated disagreements with your boss or colleagues which may have detrimental effects on your promotions! People with a strong Black Moon often prefer to be self employed.
