In astrology, Lilith, also known as the "Dark Moon" or "True Black Moon," represents a point in space rather than a physical body. It's calculated as the point of Apogee of the Moon – its furthest point from Earth in its elliptical orbit. Astrologically, Lilith is often interpreted as the primal, instinctual, uninhibited, and sometimes repressed feminine energy within an individual. It signifies our deepest desires, our shadow self, our raw sexuality, our rebellion against societal norms, and areas where we may experience intense urges, shame, or liberation.
The sign and house Lilith occupies in a birth chart can reveal how these powerful forces manifest in a person's life. It points to areas of potential conflict, intense passion, empowerment, or deep-seated frustrations. Understanding your Lilith placement can offer profound insights into your inner world, helping you to integrate and embrace all aspects of your being.
Interpreting Lilith's Placement:
Sign: The sign Lilith is in describes the *way* these primal energies are expressed. For example, Lilith in Aries might express rebellion impulsively, while Lilith in Cancer might express it through emotional intensity and primal nurturing instincts.
House: The house Lilith occupies indicates the *area of life* where these themes are most prominent. Lilith in the 10th House, for instance, suggests these energies will heavily influence one's public life, career, and reputation, potentially leading to unconventional approaches or challenges in these domains.
How This Calculator Works:
This calculator uses your provided birth date, time, and location to determine the precise position of True Lilith (Apogee) at the moment of your birth. It then identifies the astrological sign and house Lilith resides in.
Note: Astrological calculations, especially for sensitive points like Lilith, require precise astronomical data and algorithms. This calculator provides a generally accepted astrological interpretation based on standard ephemerides and house systems (like Placidus or Koch, depending on the underlying library's default). For a comprehensive astrological reading, consulting a professional astrologer is always recommended.
Use Cases:
Self-Discovery: Gain deeper insight into your primal instincts, shadow self, and areas of potential empowerment or conflict.
Relationship Dynamics: Understand how your Lilith placement might influence your interactions and attractions.
Personal Growth: Identify areas where you can embrace your authentic power and overcome societal conditioning.
Astrology Enthusiasts: Quickly find and research Lilith placements without manual calculation.
