Are you ready to get to know your dark side? Let’s go! Finding your Black Moon Lilith placement in your birth chart might surprise you. It sure got me interested so I did some research and here is what I found.
Your Black Moon Lilith placement in your birth chart can show you the darkest side of your personality. It’s called the dark side because it is the part of you that is most primal and most hidden in the subconscious. Black Moon Lilith can show you where you need to be more independent and what you need to be more conscious of in your life. At the same time Lilith can reveal what your greatest potential and deepest desires are.
What Does Black Moon Lilith Mean?
The Meaning Of Black Moon Lilith In Astrology
The astrological meaning of Black Moon Lilith is the point in space where the moon is furthest away from the earth. It is where the moon is at its darkest during new moon, hence the name black moon.
Difference between True Lilith and Black Moon Lilith
There is a difference between True Lilith and Black Moon Lilith (or Mean Lilith). Although most astrologers work with the ‘mean’ (or average) position of Lilith, known as Black Moon Lilith, there are also some that work with a point called ‘True Lilith’. If you’re interested, you can read more on that here. I will focus on Black Moon Lilith in this post, as that is astronomically more accurate.
The Meaning Of Black Moon Lilith In Mythology
The meaning of Black Moon Lilith is derived from an ancient story that many of us have heard of. In Paradise, Lilith was Adam’s first wife, long before Eve showed up to the garden of Eden. Because Lilith wanted to be treated as equal to Adam, she did not accept to submit herself to him. As the story goes, this was not at all accepted and Lilith was cursed and banished from Eden. To put her in a bad light, she was named the mother of demons.
Lilith became the embodiment of suppressed female power that was feared by the patriarchical structures at the time. Her strong sense of independence, sexuality and femininity became taboo and therefore a part of the hidden self.
From that moment on, every woman who would proudly show these inherite female strenghts was expected to suppress them and live in eternal shame. This became a part of unconscious programming in all of us, and is therefore also what Lilith represents in the natal chart.
Because our true nature can never be suppressed forever, Lilith is also a symbol of staying true to your authentic self.

How Black Moon Lilith Can Heal The World
Little did anyone know how the curse over Lilith has cursed us all as a collective up to this day. The suppression of Lilith’s strong sense of empowerment, independence and female sexuality has left the world in a state of disbalance.
The female power, who is our mother earth and the creator of life, has become something to fear in the subconscious mind of the collective. This lives in all of us. It manifests in the darkest things that the planet goes through: the things that nobody wants to look at, but that are undeniably there.
A technocratical way of thinking is getting out of hand and leaves no more space for a humane and more intuitive, loving and spiritual approach. While as humans, we are so much more than just our minds!
The good news is, that now is the perfect time for major transformation. The opportunities to restore the balance have never been greater than now and we need to all create a new earth together. An earth that is good for everyone 💙
We need to listen to our intuition, confront the dark side and speak out about what is not just in the world. Just like Lilith did. Only then we can create the change that we all so desperately need.
This is how Black Moon Lilith can lead the way to our healing.
