Lilith, the first wife of Adam, meaning she was one of the first humans created. Since she was fairly equal to her husband for her rights as a human being, she often expected to be respected, supported and valued the same as Adam (especially by Adam himself). This soon turned into internal fights, disagreements and power struggles in their relationship. In some versions of her story, it is believed that Lilith was expelled from Eden for being presumptuous, and in other versions, Lilith left Adam to get her independence (aka the first divorce of mankind). So, depending on the version, she is either viewed as an arrogant woman who was too prideful or the first feminist who was seeking a simple yet profound sense of equality. Accordingly, she is either viewed as a demon (hence, the mother of all demons). 


Lilith’s mythology is presumably the most famous of all, with varying versions, written from a million point of views. Yet, her presence in mythology is immense no matter where and how she is described. Similarly, in astrology, she is represented by different points, namely, Black Moon Lilith (Mean), Osculating Lilith (True), Waldemath Black Moon Lilith (Dark Moon) and Asteroid Lilith (1181). Lilith being true to her “untameable force of nature” personality is hard to lock down in one particular calculation or point, and so, we have a few different ways of calculating her (the first three mentioned above), each giving their version of Lilith placement in the chart, varying only by a few degrees at most. These points refer to the farthest apogee of the Moon in its orbit. Although, Black Moon Lilith (Mean), is often the preferred point of calculation for Lilith. Some may prefer to calculate Osculating Lilith or True Lilith as well. 


Lilith in a chart represents our inner natural instincts, primal desires, untamed version of ourselves that can scare us and others at the same time. It can also represent:

Where you feel restricted, bound by traditions or rules that are hindering your personal growth.

Where/how your need for independence can shake up certain set of rules or systems of organisation.

Where/how you will be forced to live a life that you do not resonate with on a soul level.

Where/how you will have no choice but to rebel and find your own freedom.

Where you will be ostracised, excluded, blamed, banished, demonised, criticised, etc. for choosing what you want, for putting yourself first.

Where/how you will be condemned by unfair systems of society, like patriarchy or religion & culture, etc. for going against the norms.

Where you feel a lack of support.

Where/how you will be targeted unfairly and victimised unjustly.  

Where you are the rawest version of yourself.

Where you tolerate no non-sense from others.

How you view your sexuality.

What are your sexual desires.

Where you will feel sexualised by others. 

How others sexualise you in a form of criticism or other gaslighting techniques.

How you secretly wish to express yourself, both physically and sexually.

Where/how you are initially misunderstood and hence feared.

Where/how you are hated without much reason.

Where others wish to know more about you, mostly to know about your dark secrets.

Where you either naturally command others’ attention (sometimes unwanted) or are ignored unfairly (depending on the placement and other aspects). 

Where/how others will have extreme opinions about your character and/or intentions.

Where/how you will be pulled into controversies, and vice-versa, where you will create controversies either for good intentions/bad intentions or sometimes just for fun (that clearly goes out of hand).

Where/how your inner femininity may have been targeted and experienced trauma (either in this lifetime or the past ones, or both).

How you can heal your inner feminine side. 

How you associate with your inner femininity (regardless of your gender or sexual orientation).

Where you are the most intuitive and possibly psychic.

Where/how you can integrate your raw feminine energy with your intuition to utilise both in a more profound way as powerful outlets to creativity and innovation.

Where you will fight for your rights, against subjects of equality and discrimination that constantly surround you.

Where/how you will have to fight for yourself, even if it means you are the only one on your side.

Where you must never excuse anyone for trying to control, dominate or belittle you. 

Where you must reclaim your independence.

Where you must never give up your independence but also where you must be careful not to let your need for independence to sabotage potentially healthy connections, and to be careful not to let your ego to sabotage good opportunities.

Where you must control your urges for vengeance in extreme forms.

Where you must unapologetically command respect and uphold your integrity. 

Where you must also have self-respect, find self-acceptance & self-love, etc.


Lilith, being a polarising character in mythology can represent the same characteristics in astrology, where its placement and aspects can give one a drastically controversial personality, where either the person is hated or adored, or both. With a prominent Lilith placement and/or aspects in a chart, you can expect to command attention, extreme opinions, fight for what you are and who you want to be, etc. Lilith is a powerful representation of raw femininity in the chart, hence it is also a placement of exceptional manifestation energy. This is a placement that can grant you the freedom and rights that you deserve, the strength to fight for your desires and unapologetically own your dreams, ambitions and integrity.
