FUNKY STARS…SERIOUS ASTROLOGY

For some time I have been trying to come to some conclussion about wether to use Mean Black Moon Lilith or the True when casting a general chart. Solar fire is configured in such a way that you have to select one or the other. To make things clear we are talking Lunar Apogee here.

Mean Lilith has been used for atleast a 100 years and it is an averaging out of the orbit. Since the 90′s we have  True “Osculating” Lilith, which shows its real, erratic retrograding motion in all it wild glory. For those interested in the maths. Juan Antonio Rivilla explains it all here.

Kelly Hunter originated the idea of a Lilith corridor which for a while I called the Halloween zone, but I now want to look at Lilith in another way. I have always said Black Moon Lilith was to do with tantric sex, shamanism and mind expanding drugs. My main thoughts were that Lilith was the missing link between sex and religion. Then I remembered the Chakra system, which I will come back to…. Read more

I have have used the horoscope of Angelina Jolie as an example of my new re-vamped Black Moon Lilith Reading, this will be called a “Dark Goddess Reading“ from now on to reflect the emphasis put on, not only Lilith, but the other factors in determining ones Dark God or Goddess profile. That is to include Eris, Ceres and Persephone in the chart and to focus on the Moon, Neptune and Pluto.

Before I do this reading, I want to clarify the difference the between Mean and True Black Moon Lilith. Mean Lilith is most used, also called Black Moon Lilith. True Lilith is also called Osculating Lilith and is listed at astro.com as h13. In the past I have used Kelley Hunters model of the Black Moon Corridor which still holds true, but I now understand the worlds to which these two Lilith doors are portals are quite different and I will try to explain the differences with Angelina’s chart. I will write about this in detail in another Blog. Read more

It’s coming up to the Full Moon, and quite aptly, I will be talking about Lilith on Astrologer Adam Sommers excellent podcast, scroll back to episode number 43 on the podomatic widget here: “Exploring Astrology”

We recorded it yesterday, but I fear, as it was my very first time being interviewed, (never mind the first time I have actually ever had to SPEAK about Lilith), I may have skirted over things too quickly in my nervousness.

ASTROLOGY OF LILITH RISING

Black Moon Lilith is the archetype of the Dark Goddess that I have mentioned in other Blogs. Her myth comes from Lilith, Adams first wife who refused to lay beneath him during the sexual act and otherwise. She chose to be exiled from paradise rather to submit to God. She is also the serpent who tempted Eve with the forbidden fruit (enlightenment/sex), which then banished both Adam & Eve from paradise also. There are many full versions of this myth on the net so I don’t want to repeat them all here. But for me she represents the Witch archetype. Magic, the kundalini, occult knowledge, the taboo, owning your sovereignty, the shadow, dreams, psychic ability, goddess power and creativity that is not just about making babies. Read more
