Lilith in Astrology: Signs and Houses

Lilith, also called the Black Moon, is not a planet but the apogee of the Moon's orbit — a point that completes a full cycle around Earth every 8.85 years. In a natal chart, Lilith shows where we may encounter strong animal instincts, unresolved patterns, or a sense of being tested by life. According to Vronsky, its influence is felt most on a spiritual level, and its sign and house placement reveal the area of life where these tendencies arise. Understanding Lilith can help us recognise what we tend to reject or project, and gently bring awareness to those parts of ourselves.
