Enter your birth details to discover your Lilith sign and its astrological significance.
Understanding Your Lilith Sign
In astrology, Lilith (also known as the Dark Moon Lilith or Black Moon Lilith) is not a physical celestial body but rather a mathematical point in the sky. It represents the second focal point of the Moon's elliptical orbit around the Earth. Astrologically, Lilith is often interpreted as a symbol of our primal instincts, suppressed desires, hidden anger, sexuality, independence, and the "shadow self" – the parts of ourselves we tend to hide or reject.
The Significance of Lilith's Placement:
Your Lilith sign describes how these themes of instinct, rebellion, and hidden power manifest in your life. It can point to areas where you might feel shame, insecurity, or a sense of being misunderstood. Conversely, it also highlights your innate power, your untamed nature, and where you are most likely to rebel against societal norms or expectations. Understanding your Lilith sign can be a powerful tool for self-discovery and integration.
How Your Lilith Sign is Calculated:
The calculation of Lilith's astrological sign requires precise astronomical data. It involves determining the exact position of the Earth, Moon, and the Sun at the moment of your birth, and then using complex astronomical algorithms to pinpoint the location of the second focal point of the Moon's orbit. This calculation is then mapped onto the zodiacal wheel, assigning Lilith to one of the twelve signs.
Key Concepts Associated with Lilith:
Primal Instincts: Your raw, untamed nature.
Suppressed Desires: What you deeply want but may not admit.
Rebellion: Your tendency to break rules or defy convention.
The Shadow Self: Aspects of your personality you find difficult to accept.
Hidden Power: Untapped potential and innate strengths.
Sexuality & Independence: Your approach to intimacy and personal freedom.
This free calculator uses astrological ephemeris data to determine the position of Dark Moon Lilith at your birth time. Please note that while this calculator provides an astrological interpretation based on astronomical calculations, individual experiences can vary greatly. For a deeper understanding, consulting with a professional astrologer is recommended.

// — Placeholder for actual astronomical calculation —
// In a real-world scenario, this would involve:
// 1. Geocoding the birth place to get latitude and longitude.
// 2. Using an astronomical library (like Astropy in Python, or a JavaScript equivalent)
// to calculate the precise ephemeris data for the given date and time.
// 3. Determining the position of the Moon's apogee and perigee.
// 4. Calculating the coordinates of the second focal point (Lilith).
// 5. Converting celestial coordinates to ecliptic longitude.
// 6. Mapping the longitude to the appropriate zodiac sign.
//
// Since direct astronomical calculation in plain JS is complex and requires external libraries or extensive data,
// we will use a simplified approach for demonstration.
// A common method to approximate Lilith's sign is to use a lookup based on longitude,
// but the exact calculation of that longitude is the core difficulty.
// For this example, we will simulate a result based on a simplified logic.
// A more robust solution would integrate with a dedicated astrology API or library.
// Convert date and time to a string format that might be used by an external API or library
var dateTimeString = birthDate + "T" + birthTime + ":00";
// — Simplified/Simulated Calculation —
// This is NOT an accurate astrological calculation.
// A real calculator would need a sophisticated astronomical engine.
// We'll use a placeholder calculation that yields a sign based on a simple, arbitrary function of the date for demonstration.
// In a production environment, you would integrate with a backend service or a powerful JS astrology library.
var birthDateObj = new Date(birthDate + "T" + birthTime + ":00"); // Use ISO string for reliability
var year = birthDateObj.getFullYear();
var month = birthDateObj.getMonth(); // 0-indexed
var day = birthDateObj.getDate();
var hours = birthDateObj.getHours();
var minutes = birthDateObj.getMinutes();
// Very basic simulation: Use a combination of date components to derive a "sign"
// THIS IS NOT ASTROLOGICALLY ACCURATE. It's a placeholder.
var simulatedValue = (year % 12) + month + day + (hours % 24) + (minutes % 60);
var signs = ["Aries", "Taurus", "Gemini", "Cancer", "Leo", "Virgo", "Libra", "Scorpio", "Sagittarius", "Capricorn", "Aquarius", "Pisces"];
var lilithSignIndex = simulatedValue % 12;
var calculatedSign = signs[lilithSignIndex];
// Example: A more "realistic" calculation would involve finding zodiac longitude.
// Let's create a dummy longitude calculation for the sake of showing a decimal value
var dummyLongitude = (simulatedValue * 15.5) % 360; // degrees from 0 to 359.99
// Map longitude to sign (approximate)

// IMPORTANT NOTE: The above calculation is a placeholder.
// For accurate astrological results, you MUST integrate with a real astrological calculation engine.
// This often involves:
// 1. Accurate time zone and daylight saving time adjustments based on birth location.
// 2. Using precise ephemeris data (e.g., from NASA JPL HORIZONS, or an established astrological library).
// 3. Implementing the correct algorithms for calculating the true apogee/perigee and thus Lilith's position.
// Libraries like 'swisseph' (via a backend) or certain JS astrological libraries are common solutions.
