The lunar orbit is an ellipse and it wobbles due to various gravitational influences. This makes it very elusive to pinpoint the actual position of the Black Moon Lilith, also known as the Lunar Apogee (the place where the lunar orbit is farthest from the earth). Both the mean and the true calculations for the black moon Lilith are therefore hypothetical, and they can vary up to 30 degrees, so which one do you use? It is no good to ignore it, just because we can’t nail it down – because the fact remains that it not an imaginary point in space – it is an astrological reality.

I was reading over some old notes and came across the concept of the “Lilith Corridor” which was quite interesting as it considers the entire zone between the True and Mean Lilith to represent the “Lilith experience” in the chart. This zone opens with the True BML position which is thought to represent the most erratic and unpredictable part of the “Lilith experience” and then closes with the Mean BML where its magic ferments into something a lot more stable.

Furthermore, it was suggested that people with narrow Lilith Corridors (0-10 degrees) have a much more concentrated, intense Lilith experience than those who have wide corridors (which can be a good thing as strong Lilith people don’t always cope well with the energy). Coupled with this, an angular Lilith Corridor will make it even stronger, and any planet that falls in the Lilith Corridor will have a Lilith flavour. Planets that transit the zone will also be affected for the whole time they are in the zone.

The Lilith experience symbolizes the hidden, the unconscious, the part that people do not easily acknowledge about themselves, that which is taboo, the “shadow”, the latent occult potential in individuals (both negative and positive), psychic abilities, the deep astral levels that initiates can contact and explore consciously, rejection or rebellion against the established order ,mysticism, conflictual elements buried in the psyche and projected onto others, discovery of profound values and bringing what is hidden to the surface, initiatory soul-to-soul relationships, the deep centre where personal and impersonal experiences merge.

When expressed maturely, BML opens us to purge negative desires and leads us to the deeper truth of our hearts and the passion of our souls by learning to let go and surrender to the part of ourselves which is primal and wild and revealing of profound inner truths. When manifesting in a less mature way, BML is not owned, but the negative parts of ourselves are projected as intolerant black or white thinking, rage, jealousy, self-righteous behaviour arising from unacknowledged inner conflict, violence justified through promoting “causes”, irrational behaviour, emotional instability, intolerance for other people’s views, aggressive opinions, feral feminine behaviour, revenge, cruelty, hatred, rage, lashing out due to inferiority complexes and feelings of rejection, verbal abuse, “taking people down”, toxic emotions, bitterness, taking pride in being harsh, dark psychic/occult practices.

Anyone out there with a narrow “Lilith Corridor” or a planet in the zone of their corridor that can relate to this?
(Note : this is not about the asteroid Lilith)

I have a pretty small Lilith Corridor, conjunct my midheaven and my chart ruler is right in the middle of it. Honestly, I can't relate to most of that description at all. In fact I can't relate to most interpretations of Lilith as being a negative or dark entity. You have to remember the actual Lilith story - she was Adam's first wife and he tried to make her do sexual things she didn't want to do so she stood up to him, told him no, and then ditched him. Lilith is the part of you that won't compromise yourself and stands up for what's right.

Of course, later in history the myth was twisted and perverted and they made Lilith into someone who kills babies and terrorizes men in their sleep...I think that was their attempt at demonizing the concept of a strong woman because they wanted to discourage the female population from becoming inspired by Lilith and starting to speak up for themselves in their own lives and see themselves as equal to men.

That's what Lilith has given me. It's made me really strong-minded and not afraid to stand up for myself and be true to myself and go against the crowd.

When it comes to interacting with other people, it hasn't manifested as me projecting, but more as being projected onto alot, particularly by other women. I've lost count of how many times I've been ambushed and verbally attacked by women who are total strangers to me and that I'd never spoken to before that point.There's something about having strong Lilith energy that can sometimes make people immediately assume the absolute worst about you even if they don't even know you; or, they project their own unacknowledged dark side onto you.

Then again, mine is in Scorpio so that might be the cause. Scorpionic and Plutonic energy is commonly misinterpreted as sinister and 'dark', anyway.

Interesting, I've had similar experience, except that I don't favor my Lilith at all. Whenever I did express the qualities of the sign that she's in, it was met with disapproval from random people, even friends. Since my Lilith is not in orb with any of my personal planets anyway, I'm more comfortable not expressing her and unnecessarily ruffling feathers.

I don't think Lilith is necessarily negative, but I do think it is quite dark in the sense that it (astrologically) represents the shadow side as it is the void or empty focus of the moon. It is interesting that you experience it (the negative effects anyway) as being projected on to you.

As I understand it the mean/true BML is more symbolic of the "void" aspect of Lilith (her isolation and depth), while the Asteroid Lilith is more symbolic of the social, concretised aspect of the Lilith myth - ie. where we struggle with social judgments that define how the feminine qualities should be expressed in order to "fit in." Does Lilith asteroid also fall in to your Lilith corridor as that may account for your strong need for independence and ability to stand up for yourself in the face of opposition on a social level? Or it might be that your BML is just more externalized because it is on the MC?


This is a quote from somewhere (sorry don't know who wrote it) which does talk more about the positive as well as the negative side to the BML : "Lilith is perhaps best understood in contrast to her counterpart, the visible Moon, Luna. Luna receives her self-fulfillment and self-definition through the nurturing of others. Lilith is self-fulfilled and self-defined. Luna represents the visible emotions; Lilith is those emotions which remain hidden or secret. Lilith lives behind-the-scenes, usually undetected. She can be sneaky or deceptive, but she can also indicate our ability to be subtle, to guide and manage events and people without being intrusive. She is our ability to be private, and her placement in the chart will tell you what the native feels most secretive about. As a Moon, Lilith is also associated with mothering, but she is the strength of a mother protecting her cubs. Luna is soft and kind and nurturing. Lilith is strong, a disciplinarian, and will kill any who threaten the well-being of her offspring. Lilith is protective and self-protective.
She protects herself from her own toxic emotions, becoming the guardian of shame, guilt, hatred, vengefulness, bitterness, envy, jealousy. We look for Lilith in our charts to discover which defense mechanisms we employ to hide our wounding.
She is also the femme fatale - the sexually powerful woman. She affects dreams, especially sexual ones, and is an influence in trances, hypnotism, the channeling of entities, interdimensional beings, and possession."

This quote is really more negative "In astrology, the Dark Moon is representative of the darker side of our nature, the negative side. It is the hidden depths that we know exist yet we prefer not to acknowledge. It is subtle on the surface, yet profound beneath. It is the foundations of our personality and the shocking truth that we often deny and project onto others instead. The refusal to see what is really within ourselves. The subtle refusal to see what part we may have played in some unpleasant drama of our lives, how we ourselves have manifested our fears. It is the kind of thing that we intrinsically know we have to deal with, confront the darker side in order to progress unhindered, yet most often we try to ignore. It is the deeper truth that we are forever in search of within ourselves. Probably the best use we can make of the dark moon is to explore our hidden depths, realise that we all have that darker side and go within to resolve that which ultimately hinders us.The Dark Moon is representative of the negative traits of guilt, shame, hatred, envy, and vengefulness, often brought about by personal wounds and hurts. The true dark side of things we try to hide."

or "The Black Moon takes hold of our emotions. It is a reactive point, never a point of integration. As such, it can cause strong identifications or very powerful projections of unconscious emotions which may not be recognized as such. My feeling is that the Black Moon always works at this reactive level."

And this one more positive "But the apogee or the empty focus of the lunar orbit is a purely lunar realm. It is not in contact with anything. It is only the Moon per se, in isolation from everything else... The apogee/empty focus (="kenofocus") is really like a womb, a receptacle, an accumulator, a point of emptiness...
As part of the "emptiness", this empty focus is also the place of dreams, the garden of desires, the pot at the end of the rainbow, the "impossible dream", the "primal mate", the twin-soul, etc... but this place is very, very dangerous... it can devour you like a whirlpool. Astronomically, the Black Moon is an isolated point, a point of neglect, repression, fermentation, and "magical" transformations that belong to a phantasmal, nocturnal, and instinctive/erotic world. It contains all the more instinctual energies (including the atavistic wisdom and clairvoyance, which is dependent on bodily functions) deep within the psyche, of which sexuality is of course paramount, and which manifest themselves in fairy tales and in primitive lunar symbolism: the night, the mystery, the magic, the danger, the secret, the fear, that which is forbidden... It represents an absence, a ghost, an emptiness, like the emptiness of the womb or an unattainable ideal. The Black Moon is a reaction against the "reproductive" and mothering role which "chains" women and leaves them "empty" as individuals. Lilith can be seen as the polar opposite of this kind of woman, which, in turn, is a reaction against all sorts of forces that try to castrate a person".

and probably the most externally orientated interpretation :"Lilith represents women who refuse to be dominated and whose creative and psychic intelligence leads them to live their lives on their own terms.
BM Lilith natal placement symbolizes a point of extreme strength of character and high intuitive intelligence that we may, or may not, be reafy to embrace yet. Women with strong egos and big brains aren't easily accepted in a society either. Lilith represents a point of threat in this way; not a point of safety like The Moon or a point of pleasure like Venus. Lilith represents the threat of separating yourself from the world and finding the power you need within yourself.
There is a ruthless, brutal and searing perception with natal BM Lilith. It's as if this part of ourselves has separated from the masses and stands alone looking at all the people unaware of the howling void around and insdie of them. Lilith knows this Void as a part of her, not separate from her, and so she does not refuse the void. She leaps into the void. And like a duststorm, Lilith blows across the land causing havoc wherever naivete is confused for innocence and death wears the mask of security.'

Is mean Lilith the one with the glyph on astro.com

If that's the case I have...
True/BML 10 Sco 4'
and Mean Lilith a 11 Sco 57'

That's less than 2 degrees.

Yep, Mean BML is the one with the glyph that looks like a black crescent moon with a cross under it and can be found in the list on the main page. True BML can be found if you enter "h13" under additional objects on extended chart selection. (The "true" one is called "osc.Lilith", the "mean" one is just called "Lilith"). The Lilith corridor is between these two, but if you also want to see the asteroid, enter 1181 under additional objects.

Sounds like your "Lilith corridor" is VERY intense!

To me BML is very primal and instinctive, the "unformed emotions", before we get "civilized".

I have a narrow Lilith corridor, it is only 4 degrees.

Mean Black Moon on 24 Aquarius, and True BML on 28 Aquarius.

I don't even think she's anyone's shadow side or negative in any way and that the modern perception of her as such is purely the result of men in the past intentionally perverting the story and character-assassinating her for their own purposes - that basically, they were afraid women would hear the story, get inspired, stop taking **** off of men, and get 'uppity'.

And...yes, I know that's a hell of a run-on sentence. Cut me some slack; I'm sick right now looool.

No, you completely misunderstood what I was saying looool. What I'm saying is that people with a strong Lilith just attact that energy to them, period - no matter what. In every instance where I'm attacked like that by women, I literally did nothing or said anything to trigger that response in them in the first place, because I actually didn't even know any of them existed to begin with.

How can you ruffle the feathers of and p1ss off someone that you never met, never spoke to and didn't even know? But that's just strong Lilith energy for you - it turns you into that little kid on the playground who never bothers anybody but keeps getting ganged up on by the rest of the kids. At first it used to freak me out but now I know what causes it (I actually have a few factors for that kind of thing in my chart - complete with Mars-Pluto, which can make people target you and try to make you their victim), and now I know that to some extent I should just expect this type of thing from people and I've learned coping skills and how to defend myself when necessary, accordingly.


Anglerfish - my Lilith Corridor is pretty small too, but believe it or not I've heard of some way smaller.

Its the same meaning for men and women. (The asteroid is more about the Lilith/feminist social issues, the BML is more about the inner void, the primal part of yourself that feels alienated/isolated).
If the corridor is wide, from what I can understand - it means that you are likely to be able to access your primal/hidden/shadow/profound/taboo qualities using a more balanced and moderate approach than someone who has a narrow corridor ( gotta admit I am one of the "narrow" people too! eek.). However, with a wider corridor, there is more likelihood of a planet falling in the zone which will be influenced by that Lilith energy.

EDIT : also pinched this now from Capriquarious on the other Lilith thread (Thanks Cap! V. Interesting) which relates specifically to the sexual/synastry dimension of BML :"According to a few sources, Lilith in a male chart is the woman who secretly turns him on and makes him feel somewhat ashamed for feeling that way, and scared, because he has no control. In a female chart, Lilith is the powerful forbidden feminine side that the woman would embrace if she is truly empowered and independent."

Here are some sign interpretations of BML. If the corridor is wide and straddles two signs then I guess the experience of Lilith will be more diverse and encompasses both signs.

Mine is at the beginning of Scorpio and on the Descendant - so I experience the energy through my relationships, but mostly on an inner level.


BLACK MOON IN SIGNS ARIES
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Due to the impulsiveness and the spontaneity inherent to the sign, we find here violence. In Aries, Lilith speaks about past violent experiences. The native may be - today - scared or interested by blood and weapons. Aries means: action - impulse - creative surge. With Lilith we have a problem bound to "begin something". To start or not to start, that is the dilemma. Craving for independence and liberty is part of the evolution and includes awareness. Fears to be put in chains, fetters, and freedom at any price...all of these are questions, which cause irrational and brusque decisions. This may also generate the absolute pleasure for disobedience itself, the joy to free oneself from interdicts. Here the soul is going to react very strongly to the power, to the law, to the authority, to the command. The native may feel in the same time the desire and the fear to be a leader. The unconsciousness keeps in memory past bad experiences linked to authority and command. Ambivalence of the today behavior: suppressed aggressiveness or no self-control. The soul has a passionate background to control through its life and an emotional instability to resolve. The native is very egocentric but can't assert his ego, as he would like, because, while he wants to command everything without paying attention to other people, life does not allow him to do so. Life obliges the native to limit his ego in being subjected to other people will or to another will (partner - spouse). The self-will may be so crushed, that the native may not trust at all in himself. The relation "Me-The others" will be bad:
- One can go ahead with roughness: "Me, I...",
- One can be worried by indecisiveness,
- Or the problem of assertion depends on the gender: a man may not be enough virile; a woman may not be able to assert herself because she is a woman. So the place they both dream of, will be left to other people. At the beginning the native has an unused creativity power inside himself that troubles him because, at first sight, there are no ways to use it. Anyhow, life will conduct in a direction where, one day, this power will be expressed. Because of pride, the temptation is to say: "As I can't do what I want, I quit!" In fact, life will help the native to learn how to use his power on a non-impulsive way, with discernment and without attempting to other people freedom. The native will also learn how to be conducted by the events, how to accept them and to adapt himself to the circumstances. He can be obliged to "fight" alone, to give up the idea of an easy life, of the social and affective situation he dreamed of. The native must place his power in the service of other people. He may suffer because he is giving and sacrificing his own ego, but one day, he will give without sufferings.

Libra "others will" - opposite to Aries "own will" - will help the native to be confronted with the power of other people or the society. Black Moon will not allow him to live the negative aspects of Aries:
- The others will oblige him to accept their will and therefore will force him to give up
- The native will not be able to do what he wants. The only things he can do are to pave the way, to open the doors and to wait.

The others of the destiny will decide in place of him. What the native starts, may fail. What he starts by accident, may succeed.

If Lilith is between 0° and 2° of Aries, the native is obliged to assume himself without the satisfaction of his own desires.

If Lilith is between 28° and 30°00 of Aries, the native will have to stabilize (Taurus) his vital personal surge (Aries) in order to find a field where he will act and realize.

In past lives, the persons having Lilith in Aries, might have been gladiators, guerrillas, mercenaries, revolutionaries, people who used the force for their freedom of action.

Keywords: emotional instability - independence - sensuality - defiance -fighting spirit - passionate tendencies

TAURUS
~~~~~~~~
Lilith's position here is related to greed either with the material/emotional level or with food. Here we have possessiveness. It is very difficult to change our habits, to free us from our roots. Life will oblige us to break our environment. We will have emotional problems because we will not have the love reassurance we need. Our life will go on through uprooting either leaving the place we love or separations with persons we love. If the undergone trials are too rough, suicide is not far. At the beginning of life, the native may have not been happy as - often - a brother or a sister was preferred. The native has turned in on himself and has mostly forgotten all his infancy's memories. Taurus is known for his tendency to keep turning over his problems on an introspective mode, before solving them. He keeps silence on what is worrying him. Here, Black Moon increases inhibition, obstinacy and introversion of the sign. Difficulties to express sensuality or hyper-sensuality, strong jealousy. Sensual feelings are in the same timed very strong and repulsed. The native has to work on himself to learn how to let go. He must go over his fears of change, his fears of the unknown, his fears to be depossessed of his ownership(love and materials). Also the native's interest for money is not clear: desire and refusal of money. Sometimes he is fascinated by the power of money or he renounces to the material. Often financial problems occur. All the abilities of the Taurus must be awaken, as the sign has a powerful capital he must show and develop: artistic potential, to create a company, to take care of uprooted persons, financial talents, interests for nature.

With Scorpio opposite to Taurus, there will be confrontations when the Taurus dreams of peace. Permanent hard life conditions in an inharmonious environment when he does not want to move. Of course he will do his best to calm down the game and to find back again the peace he needs, but this will be very, very difficult. Also, he will have to pass the passion in love. In the past lives, the soul may
have done a bad use of sexual energy. Today, the soul has to become reconciled with sensuality. On a material point of view, she has to accept to possess, then to lose, with the understanding that all of this is part of his inner transformations.

If Lilith is between 0) and 2° of Taurus, the choices of life are very important: it is essential to have a deep reflection, to be well integrated in reality and to have impulsitivity under control, in order to build an harmonious life, either in its love part or in the financial field. The native is free to choose, according to his potential and the opportunities he has to adapt himself. The different fields may be lived successively along the life, through Lilith cycles (changes happen every 9 years).

If Lilith is between 28° and 30°00 of Taurus, there is a past karmic potential which must be achieved (love relationships for instance), before being able to express the other sides of the personality.

Keywords : possessiveness - jealousy - inhibition - obstinacy

GEMINI
~~~~~~
Here we have twins in one person. The first one stays at a unconscious level and is occulted while the second one has a "normal" life. Both
are like enemies at the beginning as they interpenetrate and bother each other. The native must integrate the both, even if he is scared by the first and refuses him. This gives different attitudes:
- One tries to cheat, to hide the truth to oneself or to others, to mask what one does not want to see: that's a kind of unintentional duplicity
- Double faced personality (Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde): the showed face is nice, the hidden face is bad.

The native will live his outer personality in order to calm down his anxiety. The link between mind and body is difficult. If the mind is not strong enough, it will identify itself to the body and become too much receptive to the others and to the outer world. The head might be
"empty" and the native can't concentrate his attention and can't reflect. This type is easy to manipulate. If the mind is stronger
than the body, it has its own life, dissociated from the body : we may have schizophrenia. The native must find a conciliation between
material and spirit: it is the duality. To harmonize the masculine (Yang) energy and the feminine (Yin) energy is hard to do. Nervous,
anxiety, latent homosexuality, mental eroticism, bad communication, intellectual frustrations... all of these are in relation with Black
Moon in Gemini. The thoughts are often ferocious and cold. As there are here several personalities in the same person, the concerned
native may not know who he really is and where he is. There are different ways to live this:

- One may operate a junction (a mix) between its two personalities
- One may wake up the hidden part in order to correct its negative aspects
- One may use a new gift if the hidden part is positive

The native has to solve questions bound to communication. This is done through the WORD, the right one, the search of what is true,
authentic, with all the dissatisfaction and the gap between the word itself and the affect. This quest may give either an attraction for the language, the writing or an aversion for the words that never translate exactly what are the feelings, the sensation. The native has a pathological anxiety that is showed through movements or agitation. This anxiety speaks about the native's refusal to be totally incarnated, the difficulty for him to accept the time goes on and to appreciate the instant moment. The native constantly stops the arrival of emotions and feelings to the surface.

Sagittarius - opposite to Gemini - will oblige the native to live many experiences, will increase and multiple contacts, and give to him the
permanent opportunity to be confronted to Lilith's problems. The different unknown facets - good and bad - will reach the consciousness in order to be purified - when they are negative - and integrated to the personality. In the past lives, the native might have been betrayed and might have suffered because of inability to communicate. They also might have made either medical or psychic experiences and destroyed others people psyche. They might have done energy manipulations in order to exert a power. Today the creativity is here but will only be used on a positive way.

If Lilith is between 0° and 2° of Gemini, the native must leave the secured life where he would like to stay and live many experiences. If Lilith is between 28° and 30°00 of Gemini, the native will have to learn how to concentrate all his energies in order to build his own personality and a coherent life.

Keywords: mental isolation - nervous breakdown - nervosity - sexual duality - dissipation - double personality.

CANCER
~~~~~~~
Here Black Moon asks the question about the relation to the mother. It has a karmic sound and is bound to the evolution.
- The mother may have been known in a past life
- The mother is "unknown" BUT the soul has chosen this mother for its evolution. Whatever the present mother may represent, give - or not
give - will be very important. May she be absent (gone - too busy - dead) or be an overbearing and protective mother, all the awareness
will be in relation with the idea of family, of cocooning and dependency. The native is ambivalent in his way to love as he deeply needs a mother and, in the same time, he refuses to be absorbed by her. For the native, to love is already a dependency. The evolution will be done through the emotional plan: "Family I do love you! Family how I hate you!"

To be part of the tribe or to refuse the family history, to be oneself a mother or a father, to found or not found a family : all of these are examples of the fear regarding the family with Lilith in Cancer. The native may flee from the dilemma in finding a symbolic family,
for instance a community where he can be fed physically and psychically and find a new secured cocoon. In all cases, he must keep
his independence, look at his desire or refusal to be part of the family, to find back his origins, even if he feels rejected by the
group. With Lilith in Cancer there is a particular place in the family history to be taken by the native. The imagination specific to the sign has to be directed with the tendency to distort reality and therefore to suffer about this. At the beginning of his life, the native has not the sweet secured home he dreamed of. He may either have difficulties in his own home, or be unable to have one, or be unable to keep the one he has. The others oblige to accept things he does not want. Despite all the problems, the native wants to protect those he loves, to preserve innocent lives, to assume his family duties. The fear to have not done the maximum may become distress. The native remains faithful to some principles and is scared of the mistakes he may do. The respect of other people lot will always be
essential. As he keeps a childish background and can't often go out of secured emotional surroundings by fear of independence, the
native's maturity is difficult to reach. He must lean on traditional values and go ahead. Capricorn - opposite to Cancer - will oblige to a reflection. The deep ties to those who are loved must stay but must not bind. Stability has to be found in relationships, as the native
has to lean on his family, to help her without being imprisoned, invaded and destroyed. On a positive way, Lilith in Cancer gives the
gift to probe the depths of people unconsciousness in order to understand their emotional problems, among which some have their
origin in childhood. One can either build a home for children who are not its own, or be a teacher, or protect familial properties, or build its own properties, manage a family business or create one.

In the past lives, the native might have lived in a self-centered atmosphere, or in a cocoon, afraid of the outside. In fact, the soul had suffered either from a excess or a lack of protection. On the other hand, the soul might have neglected his family, specially the children.

If Lilith is between 0° and 2° of Cancer, the unity of the personality built at the end of Gemini will help to build a social or a family unit, or will help to integrate a social or religious unit that must be chosen very carefully. What is started is very important. The native has to let himself to be guided by the unconscious forces he has inside him. That is the way to become a person responsible of his own action and being able to manage his own future. The changes in life will be difficult to do, as they depend on own will and the fear to deceive may completely paralyze the decisions.

If Lilith is between 28° and 30°00 of Cancer, the native has "to be born to himself" for an independent life. The awakening of consciousness is done here.

Keywords: karmic debts with the family members - sometimes rejection of the childhood or the family (exile) - rejection of vulnerability, of femininity - sentimentally - sexual repression - fantasy - temptation - possessiveness - fertility difficulties (sometimes abortion) - authoritarian and castrating mother - absent or dead mother - nutrition problems.

LEO
~~~~
Power, influence, and supremacy: Lilith emphasizes these in Leo. The
native has to solve something regarding domination. Here is an
ambiguity: fascination together with rejection of what is noble,
luxurious and sumptuous. Because he lioes them, the native needs to
exert his influence on those who are around. He also feels with his
heart those he loves and it gives to him the "inner knowledge of the
things and the beings". He knows intuitively which way they have to
follow and he wants to oblige them to take it. But things do not
work, as he wants. Authoritarian on a paternalistic and kindly mode,
the native has to learn how to let the others living and -sometimes -
leaving... He has a thirst of power that he will never satisfy, as he
would like, because there is an absolute impossibility for him to
dictate to others. He will have to learn how to forget his own
desires and his ego must be dissolved. The native may shine forth
without being at the first place. The temptation of the personality
cult is never far. The trap would be to exert anyway one's authority
under the cover of great traditional or avant-gardist principles. He
may be the center of a group, admired or idolized by the members. On
the other hand the native may fight for ideas he does not apply in
his own life, because he does not want to restrain himself and he
wants to protect his ego. He may also feel an excessive need for
intense pleasure, passion and power he will never satisfy. The
instinctive power of self assertion comes back after every failure
and each time the temptation to have again the same behavior is
there. The native must control and restrain his instinctive strength.

Aquarius - opposite to Leo - will impose to the native long-term
objectives, will oblige to think, to calculate the consequences of
actions, to cast doubt over his instinctive mode of action, to plan
his behavior, to be conscious. Also there is an artistic potential to
develop on another way. The native may be a teacher. In the past
lives, the native might have exerted a power, sometimes at a high
level. He also might have been an artist. Abusive power or crushing
inferiority? Whatever was the contest, the soul has kept today an
imprint which may feel her guilty when she is confronted to similar
situations. She may aspire after power to the detriment of everything
or she may fight against those who are despotic.

If Lilith is between 0° and 2° of Leo, there is a rebirth, a new
personality is born. But the movement can't be accelerated. The
native goes through periods of fears where things are instinctively
held (see Mars position on the Chart). Then he lives periods where he
frees himself from past.

If Lilith is between 28° and 30°00 of Leo, the native will try to use
his influence through the word, to pass on his knowledge with the
help of the Leo's innate authority, together with his try to adapt
himself to other people and to reality. He has to find a new
direction for his gifts in order to transform them and to serve the
other people.

Keywords : ambition - sexuality - cold will - megalomania - great
vitality - arrogance - pushiness - success is often here but with
trials in creativity and love affairs - heart and eyes are fragile.

VIRGO
Here is the problem to trust on oneself and on life. There is a trauma
in relation with the notion of confidence. The native has
difficulties in building his own individuality because he tends to
compare himself to the others, to merge into the others. To protect
himself he may freeze and give a vision of egoism. Daily life, daily
constraints are difficult to live. The native tries to incarnate what
he is feeling that because he needs to calm down his anxiety and to
reach the concrete security he can't find. In front of choices he is
anxious. He would like to decide, leaning on reason and clear vision,
but he has to leave to intuition and destiny the choice. The choices
may be painful because the direction is not the desired one but
it is the most reasonable one. The native may have been stopped in his
former choice. All the life goes through changes he will have to
learn how to live and "digest"; otherwise he will be ill. Crises are
often related to the disease that purifies. It affects the bowels.
Diseases are purification and refuge for the things the native does
not want to live. The fear of a failure reinforces the inhibition of
the sign. Inferiority feeling, doubts, scrupulously honesty, extreme
logic... all may put the native in a self-accusation mode. Irrational
fears, phobias, hypochondria, to be not tidy or to be too orderly-
sometimes to the pathological meticulousness- are some of the aspects
of the Black Moon in Virgo. Pisces - opposite to Virgo - sets the
answer to all the problems. Pisces contains all the instincts the
native has inside him. The key, the solution is in the depth of his
unconsciousness. 2 ways for building the personality:

- Permanent control of the instincts as soon as these are lived on a
conscious mode. The house where Virgo has its cups will describe the
place where the work will be done: negative tendencies to correct
gifts to develop. When all opportunities of the sign and the house
will have been used, the daily choices will be easier and the anxiety
will be reduced.

- Use of intuition and inner information to learn how to let go
rationality. The constant fear will reduce. The trap with this
configuration is either to refuse the own intuition because reason is
disturbed, or to take refuge in the dual personality of the Pisces
because reality is not the expected one. Unconsciousness disturbs
consciousness permanently in the daily life. On a positive way, the
native may have therapeutic knowledge - plants that heal and diets.
Also the native may be a self-employed craftsman.

In the past lives, the soul lived in a context where it was impossible
to trust the others. His daily life was conducted with a suspicious
behavior. He was obliged to protect himself. Perhaps he also paid
dearly for his naïveté. Today a strange feeling of a danger may occur
each time the native is tempted to trust somebody and to give up. The
problem stays in the unconsciousness. The native can't trust anybody
but it is his main lesson today: he has to learn again confidence and
this will change his life.

If Lilith is between 0° and 2° of Virgo, the choices in life will be
very important and the anxiety of a wrong choice will always be
there. The native will have to be not torn by life, but will think
to all the opportunities which occur and to the gifts he has inside
him in order to take the good decisions.

If Lilith is between 28° and 30°00 of Virgo, the personality will be
already built and will have to learn how to stand in front of others
or the spouse. The control of the instincts will not be the main
problem. Harmonious relationships will have to be done together with
a choice of value. These will be defined, according to life's
experiences: success and failures. The native will have to learn how
to feel not guilty and to keep self-confidence.

LIBRA

Here is the difficulty to place oneself in relation to the others, to
find the way - behavior - and the true word in each relation. On a
relationship point of view, Libra means harmony. Equilibrium between
oneself and the other(s) must be found. To accept the other without
denying oneself. The notion of the couple - association - has an
important value, which lessons are conciliation, comprehension, and
defense. There will be a lot of problems regarding the couple or the
associations. Though the native needs harmony in his life and wants
to set peace in his relationships - often to the detriment of
himself - the other(s) decides for him. In the same time, the native
can't assert himself and can't live without the other(s). He often
sees the partner (associates) as invaders of his own(private)world
but can't organize his contacts with them. These lacks of self-
confidence, of trust oblige him to let be impressed and to suffer.
Even if one feels unhappy, shirking confrontation is not a good idea.
On the other hand, to protect oneself, one can react with violence,
impulsiveness at an inopportune moment. There is no place for own
will, the others will being stronger. The native will have to endure
trials as other people will not allow him to have a self-expression,
or will oppose to him, even if he deeply knows he is right and the
others are wrong. And yet he must keep self-confidence and simply
accept the others as they are. To give without interested motives, to
be subjected to others desires, to put own desires aside. here are
some of the lessons the native will have to learn before he will have
the opportunity to express his own will. Moreover, Black Moon in
Libra may develop a pathological indecisiveness: the native might
never take a decision. Therefore, he will have to clarify his
positions and to affirm them without ambiguity under pain of creating
awkward situations. As his life's choices are taken at an unconscious
level, the native can't explain them and does not bear to be obliged
to wait and to be patient. He is obliged to sacrifice some values, to
keep just the essential. The air signs tend to mental emotions.
Because she loves peace, the Libra pays attention to be not submerged
by its emotions. With Lilith here, Librans tend to refuge in
indifference and insensitivity. The danger here is to stay in an
ivory tower.

Aries opposite Libra will oblige to solve the problems. The ego has to
find his place between the others. Paralyzed at the beginning, the
native must find the happy medium in his relationship if he wants to
express himself. Every 9 years cycle, an other kind of relationship
starts which may proceed through changes in life, allowing a better
self-expression. So, the ego that was very much debated at the
beginning, will gradually assert itself. Even if he dreams of an "
other world " the native has to live on a day-to-day basis, what he
is offered, and has to always maintain the stability. Equilibrium
between being patient, respecting, co-operating with other people and
his timidity and sensitiveness. The native might have artistic
abilities to be used or develop a job where the spirit of conciliation
is required. Personal expression will always be related to human
relationship.

In the past lives, the soul might have misused the social power she
had and was unjust. On the other hand she might have suffered of
injustice. There is here a trauma bound to equity and social
position. The soul might have chosen between rebellion and submission.

Today the native may be obliged to endure situations which will lead
him to clarify his position, to take sides or to refuse the social
power. He also may have a karmic debt with justice or endure an
injustice that will oblige him to change.

If Lilith is a the very beginning of Libra, the native as to find his
way himself, to learn how to be with the others without underestimate
himself, but in co-operating with them as equals. In these cases,
associations will be of utmost importance. They must not be on a
dominant/dominated basis.

If Lilith is at the very end of Libra, changes occur in life either on
an inner or on an outer mode. Venus position and the house where Black
Moon is, will help to understand the process and the probable
results. There will be renunciations, self-sacrifices the native has
not to live as frustrations, but as necessary detachments for his
evolution.

Keywords: difficulties in unions, associations and meetings - tendency
to refuse social conventions - egoism - magnetism - frustration -
snobbishness - unsatisfied desires - great power on others - health
problems (nephritis) - widowhood

SCORPIO

It is a strong position activating desires, passions and extreme
reactions. Question which are related to life and death wake up
either compelling attractions or distress. A very deep mutation of
the being must be done on an unconscious level through his life.
Rigor, sobriety, deprivation in all life's field is like death of
one's part. When trials are too heavy, the native may chose death, or
tries to suicide. Progressions through different levels, different
trials, progressions through beloved persons death, are the native's
program. The authoritarian potential is very strong here. There
is also a background of violence, sexuality, and destruction where the
native must not fall. Here the danger is to reverse the situation
against himself when violence can't be exerted on others. Links to
death are very important. Death fascinates. Sometimes the native may
chose to snatch people from death (being a physician doctor, for
instance). He also may receive messages from dead persons. But if his
Lilith is not well aspected, the native has to be very careful with
spiritualism, as lemurs may incorporate his body and drive him crazy.
In Scorpio, Black Moon gives the opportunity to always restart with
energy. If disease is here, it regenerates,especially when Sun is
conjunct to Black Moon. The creativity potential is important: to be
an analyst, to practice hypnosis, to handle money. In any case the
native as to be honest. The native will always be unable to control
the evolution of the house whose cusp is in Scorpio. He will have to
accept the events as they come, and will do his best in living them
while hoping coming better days.

Taurus opposite Scorpio will oblige the native to hang on to life in
order to reach the harmonious life he is dreaming of. This desire
will calm down his passionate tendency. Inner roots must not be
destroyed like the Scorpio would do. Love of live must be respected
and preserved. Life's values must be understood.

In past lives, the soul might have commanded armies, might have been a
warrior. Also she might have been soaked in magic and occultism, but
not in a good way : rituals, secret practices, initiations where
sexuality and religion were mixed and bound to physical or psychic
power. The soul might have either lived them with passion or endured
them. The environment was destructive causing deep injuries to the
soul with buried traumas bound to death, blood, money power and
sexuality. She might have free instincts that had either destroyed
people or herself.

Today the native may be fascinated by this strange world of power,
magic, and sexuality as he knows he has something more to learn about
himself. He may be using occultism for help in his metamorphosis.
Sexuality is part of the lessons. He must be careful with its use
together with the use of power under the pain of getting new trials.

If Lilith is at the very beginning of Scorpio, the native must change
of way. If he does not, he will be stopped. The process will take
place many times in his life, and each change will be drastic and
will generate distress. The native will have to find an action field
and organize his life on good basis.

If Lilith is at the very end of Scorpio, the native will have to open
himself to new horizons. Each step in his evolution will depend on the
way he has evolved during the previous one. He cannot plan. Eachstage
asks for a renunciation, a sacrifice, a deprivation, for the death of
something(or someone).

SAGITTARIUS

Here Lilith feels different from others. The way people perceive him
gives to the native the feel to be not well understood. Most of the
time, the native underestimates himself and suffers from a lack of
self-confidence. Due to this, it may happen that he will accept
challenges just to prove that he can do it. The native would like to
look as the other person are, and is worried by any gossip about
himself. Sagittarius is known as a sociable and conformist sign. Here
Lilith asks "to be or not to be conformist? To be or not to be
representative? Black Moon may either be attracted by an artificial
role to play or to reject everything bound to a social image. As
the Sagittarius can't live without ideals, Lilith here obliges to the
quest for these. But the native has to find his own belief as despite
a strong call for spirituality, he does not often agree with the
religions or social ideals being already set up. The native will have
to evolve through his own experiences and to create his own view of
things as the time goes on. He will seek his truth and ideals for
life in the Sagittarian potentials.

Gemini opposite Sagittarius will oblige the native to have a concrete
life, to have various experiences, to express all his multi-faceted
personality. Gemini will not allow Sagittarian Lilith to escape in
dreams. The native must build a united personality. Though there is
here a strong desire to exercise a moral authority over people,
Gemini will not allow the native to use this power unless it is in a
disinterested aim.

In the past lives, the soul had already lived in a spiritual
environment. She might have exercised a religious authority at a very
high level. Deceptions or betrayals were the source of ordeals she
had to undergo. The soul keeps in memory traumas of disappointed
ideals, religiosity for which she had dearly paid.

Today the native has an inner work to do about faith. Actually he may
be born in an atheistic environment and he will have to find alone
his way to spirituality. Or, he may be born in a group having dogmas
he will have to reject and to free him from inculcated beliefs.
Whatever the context, the native will have his destiny directed to
spirituality, as Sagittarius can't live without ideals. Another
point: Sagittarian Lilith may be attracted or repulsed by everything
bound to previous (sometimes endured) experiences linked up to
faraway countries, journeys, exile, racism. On a positive mode,
the native may love to travel, to discover new horizons. It happens
that he may find a place where he feels in deep affinities with,
probably a place where he lived in the past.

If Black Moon is at the very beginning of Sagittarius, the native will
look for a broadening of his activity field and his creativity in
order to open himself to new horizons.

If Black Moon is at the end of Sagittarius, ideals of life will have
to be defined at the beginning of life and then materialized along
the life, with the help of the lived experiences.

CAPRICORN

Here Lilith is very ambitious: material ambition or moral ambition.
She wants to have all situations under control, to exercise her power
on people or on matters, but she can't. The native must not stiffen,
must not be hard to please. He has to accept what life is offering,
without becoming embittered because his desires are not satisfied.
Lilith is not optimistic and when rough periods occur, she can only
see their negative sides. Also she does not accept what she has to
live in the emotional field and the desert's periods he has to go
through. Inner isolation is frequent as the native tends to build an
armour to protect himself. (Think about Simon & Garfunkel's great
hit: I am a rock). He has to learn patience and endurance, to leave
his "shell", and to just be himself. Sometimes, the native tends to
impose on himself duties and constraints while denying any pleasure.
His attitude may also be the one of punishment either to the others
or to himself (nervous breakdown is not far.). Some people having
Lilith in Capricorn are tempted to resign themselves to the fact that
nothing expected arrive. Ambition is gone and they do believe to
nothing. Some of them choose suicide. A woman may completely dedicate
herself to her motherhood and therefore be considered as a castrating
mother by her child. Asceticism asked by life may be lived like a
kind of death because the native may totally lose his ability to
hope. Therefore the native has to stand back in order to see things
on a different way. Also he tends to find himself more powerful and
superior than does other people. But he can't express this aspect
because the social or family contexts do not allow him. Lilith is
craving for absolute. If absolute can't be reached, she may destroy it
and just stay materialist. As Lilith in Capricorn permanently
recharges her capacity to endure, she may also increase her hard and
inflexible behavior with others, but on the other hand this helps
Lilith to resist to trials.

Cancer opposite Capricorn asks to express the feelings that are buried
deep inside. Feelings must find their true place. Then the native
will be able to exert his authority on a more human mode. Cancer, as
water sign, will also act on Capricornian unconsciousness in helping
it to express emotions and therefore to easier control them.

In past lives the soul might have been a powerful highly placed person
who reigned imperiously over people. She might have experimented with
rigor, austerity, and deprivation. She also might have known or
inflicted hard rules, frustrations around. Miserliness or greed of
materiality was her concern. She also had to manage true problems
bound to survey.

Today the native tends to internalize his thoughts to favor reflection
with sometime an excessive self-control. The native is brought back
to the people's level (as an ordinary man/woman.) in order to better
understand the others. This lesson will help him to be a better ruler
in a next life.

If Lilith is at the very beginning of Capricorn, it will be of a great
importance for the native to find as much as possible a way
corresponding to his ideals. He also may be deprived of something he
wants to do and then will have to adapt to what is arriving.

If Lilith is at the very end of Capricorn, the native will have to
discover, to create, and to be ready for new unknown spiritual or
physical horizons.

snobbishness, coldness - silence - permanence - depression - long

In a feminine natal chart Lilith is castrating and very
authoritarian - End of life often hard to live for non broad-minded
persons.

AQUARIUS

Here Lilith is quite intolerant. The native thinks he has the monopoly
of truth, which makes him very demanding indeed ruthless. But life
will break all his principles. The native would like to live what he
has chosen according to his own will, but it will be impossible.
There will be limits that can't be crossed and the native will not be
allowed to take some directions indeed even to compel the events.
Uranus, one of Aquarius masters, is always in hurry and wants
everything immediately. Stability is not its main concern. It means
that long-term projects will always be shaken up or changed. The
native may have to free himself from past life's chains and fight for
his independence. There we find an excessive need of liberty and
revolutionary instincts, according to a broad-minded vision of the
world, indeed even the need of greater spiritual horizons. The native
may be obliged to take care of close relatives what could be felt as
a lack of freedom. The lesson here will be to understand that inner
freedom is most important. Changes, moves, betrayals of friends will
happen regarding friendship. There is also a big fund of creativity
and the chart will indicate in which field this will be expressed.
The native may work in humanitarian activities or open his mind to a
wider spiritualist vision of things. As the Uranian energy is very
powerful, it is very important to have a look at Saturn's location,
in order to understand how this will be channeled. If the force is
locked or not properly channeled, or used in a too strict and
personal way, psychic troubles, nervous paralysis may occur.

Leo opposite Aquarius will oblige to adhere to conservative social
structures and to respect them. Also Aquarian Lilith will be obliged
to "think" with her heart - and not only with her head - to integrate
the notion of love in his ideas about humankind. Thereby the native
will be able to exercise his influence on a wide unselfish mode.
Freedom for everyone and to teach people that inner liberty is the
utmost important one.

In past lives, the soul might have been part of group life, in
communities, gathered in the same ideals. These contexts might have
been freely chosen or imposed. In both cases, the soul was
disappointed in her hopes about ideology, solidarity. Her experiences
and traumas are bound to her quest of freedom and her beliefs in
human-being dignity.

Today, the native is both attracted and suspicious by "great ideals".
He would like to invest himself but he "feels" a danger. Attraction
and rejection of ideals, politic, freedom-worship, individuality, is
different subjects the native will have to deal with. Too much
attached to his freedom, he has an instinctive fear to be - again -
trapped whatever the context, the relation, the love are.

If Black Moon is at the very beginning of Aquarius, the future is
always questioned: permanent improvisation and adaptation required.
The native must not be scarred in acting, in finding day after day
solutions in order to handle situations, even if he does not clearly
see the results.

If Black Moon is at the very end of Aquarius, the native must handle
his life and decide to win. He will neither be allowed to let his
instincts commanding, nor to leave the place because it's too hard,
but he will have to manage without imposing his own will.

Keywords: great tension - nervousness - betrayals, death of friends -
claustrophobia - sexual independence or sexual ambivalence -
attraction or rejection of independence - sudden trials - divorce
possibility - search of an absolute freedom - accidents - surgery -
must learn to express his true personality - must learn to open
himself to others - in a feminine chart often indicates a "liberated"
woman personality - must learn to open himself to others - in a
feminine chart often indicates the "liberated" woman

PISCES

Pisces, the kingdom of dreams, fantasy, sometimes utopia, far away
from daily realities, the sign longs for unlimited horizons. Here
Lilith activates the quest for infinity. She may be lived like an
attraction for escape, flight. The native does not often know whose
gifts are his, how to express them. He is afraid of all his
unconscious inner forces. He has no control, moreover he has to adapt
to daily life. Other people do not often see his inner troubles. The
result may be a chronic disease creating a deep weariness that will
oblige to break defenses and lies. Here we also have the medium or
channel. It is an ambiguous gift: on a negative point of view, if
the native has no mind protection he will be attacked by others
negative energies in his unconsciousness, this being mainly seen with
a lack of experience. On a positive point of view, the native handles
his mediumship and protects himself from others. He has the power to
feel the inner part of people, literally to see through their eyes.
Here Lilith gives the ability to get information from the akashic
memories: inspiration, mystic tendencies, clairvoyance. are some of
the components of the personality. Hesitation, which is one of Pisces
characteristics is showed by a pathological indecisiveness and is one
of the problems the native will have to solve on the condition he
gets rid of his fantasies, fears or people's domination.

Virgo opposite Pisces will oblige the native to "go back" on earth and
its daily reality. The earth sign will help to control, to analyze
all the "data" the Pisces obtain, to separate fears, emotions, dreams
from what is true and can be used in life.

In past lives, the soul might have lived in a context where she was
imposed to abandon her own desires, as Pisces also means sacrifice.
The soul keeps the memory of a sacrificial behavior that led her to
the ruin. It might as well be possible that the soul had lived in a
spiritualism environment or was a clairvoyant, both having caused
shocks and lack of equilibrium.

Today the native tends to escape when the situation appears difficult
instead of confronting it. The sleep may become a refuge as well as
imagination. In very serious cases we find mental disease. As this
parallel universe fascinates him, the native has the opportunity to
express his gift in a work bound to psychiatry, psychology, nervous
diseases, researches on drugs, coma.

If Lilith is at the very beginning of Pisces, the native has a great
intuitive and perceptive ability. This will help him to guide, to
teach others, to have a moral or religious authority.

If Lilith is at the very end of Pisces, the native has to clearly
define what he wants to live and has to learn independence. This work
will be done step by step, each new period starting with Black Moon's
transit on its natal position (around 9 years cycle).

Keywords: risk of a real or symbolic imprisonment - tendencies to
health problems, to use drugs to escape from reality - search for a
"wonderland" - bewitching magnetism - many love affairs - psychic
troubles - meeting of pseudo guides - tendencies to nightmares,
insomnia - prophecy gift - aura of mystery - wrong spiritual choices -
illegality - in a feminine chart shows the glamorous woman.

And some more (much briefer) :

Aries - Lilith in Aries is straight-forward about her sexuality and may use it to feel powerful. Applied in a negative manner, there may be temper tantrums or bratty behavior.
Taurus - Lilith in Taurus may hide money or possessions, and there will be a great deal of secrecy regarding finances. This can also indicate miserliness, or a refusal to share one's resources with others.
Gemini - When Lilith hides herself among the twins, she may exhibit a chameleon-like ability to be whoever she must be at the moment, hiding her true thoughts and feelings. If used improperly, the native may be considered "two-faced" or be a vicious gossip.
Cancer - Hidden emotions may come out in ways that affect the physical health. When expressed in ways that are healthy, Lilith's influence here makes the native a powerful parent, or an activist for the protection of children. When negative, there may be chronic or psychomatic illness, or the tendency toward martyrdom.
Leo - Lilith in Leo wants to be admired, but she'll never admit it. In creative expression, she will do things her own way and never feel obliged to explain herself. Taken to extremes, she becomes the prima donna, demanding and unforgiving.
Virgo - Lilith in Virgo will often make the native very secretive or repressed in their sexual expression, and there will be much attention to hygiene and health-related details. When negative, Lilith in Virgo can be very cold and aloof, or extremely critical of the habits of others.
Libra - Lilith in Libra may find herself concerned with the legalistic side of power. She is a defender of women here, supportive of laws that curtail abuse or sexual crimes. Taken to extremes, Lilith in Libra may be vindictive against those she perceives to be offenders, and in relationships may be clinging, jealous or manipulative.
Scorpio - There are some astrologers who believe that Lilith is the co-ruler of Scorpio, along with Pluto. When placed here, she is powerfully sexual, hypnotic, seductive and wise. When under a negative influence, she can become bitter, vengeful or obsessed.
Sagittarius - Lilith in Sagittarius may hide her emotions beneath a facade of humor or a mask of "niceness." She may keep her personal philosophies secret from others, keeping her own counsel. In the negative, this placement can indicate haughtiness, self-righteousness, and prejudice.
Capricorn - Lilith in Capricorn will hardly ever share any emotions, and these natives may seem unapproachable. Achievement and status will be the method employed to feed the hidden need for emotional contact. At its extremes, here is the anal retentive who must control everything.
Aquarius - Lilith in Aquarius will probably mask the hidden emotions with a series of ever-changing kaleidoscopic surface emotions, and will seem fascinating and elusive to others. The native may be chimerical, fluttering like a fairy from one situation to the next. At its worst, Lilith in Aquarius is irresponsible, remote, and refuses to listen to others.
Pisces - Lilith is already secretive, and doubly so in Pisces. This is usually the person who has emotional wounding buried so deeply that they don't even know it themselves. Lilith's placement here may instigate behaviors which even the native finds baffling, and is often associated with passive-aggressive and unconscious behavioral patterns.

If the corridor is wide, from what I can understand - it means that you are likely to be able to access your primal/hidden/shadow/profound/taboo qualities using a more balanced and moderate approach than someone who has a narrow corridor ( gotta admit I am one of the "narrow" people too! eek.). However, with a wider corridor, there is more likelihood of a planet falling in the zone which will be influenced by that Lilith energy.

EDIT : also pinched this now from Capriquarious on the other Lilith thread (Thanks Cap! V. Interesting) which relates specifically to the sexual/synastry dimension of BML :"According to a few sources, Lilith in a male chart is the woman who secretly turns him on and makes him feel somewhat ashamed for feeling that way, and scared, because he has no control. In a female chart, Lilith is the powerful forbidden feminine side that the woman would embrace if she is truly empowered and independent."


ah no planet in my corridor. thanks for the explanation TB!

one more Q! can i read lilith in aries 6th for myself if osc Lilith is there?

i wouldn't be ashamed of liking either pisceans or arians. fear though more likely with the arians haha! also i've always found lilith in aries women sexy but i don't know if lilith contributes to sess appeal.

yes I think the whole range is valid. The 6th house/Aries side is more unstable and you need to navigate there more instinctively and cautiously (as there is more risk) than the Mean BML (Pisces) side. To use the analogy of a magic potion in the process of alchemy : true Lilith might produce an unexpected result for good or ill, while Mean Lilith on the other hand is a more focused stable and mature magic producing a more predictable result.

is 4 degrees considered 'small', or not? mine is at 2 degrees in Scorp and in 12H.

If Lilith is at the very beginning of Scorpio, the native must change
of way. If he does not, he will be stopped. The process will take
place many times in his life, and each change will be drastic and
will generate distress. The native will have to find an action field
and organize his life on good basis.

nice thread!

Yes, yours would be considered narrow, similar to Ceri's and mine (which BTW is so close to yours btween 1 and 5 Scorp). But it is not as extreme as Angelfish and BP(+angular+Uranus) - their's are less than 2deg.

I wonder what it must be like to have it exact?

Mine is also in the 12th, 6-7deg from my pluto, and square my merc(aqu) and orcus( Leo). Orcus is like a second pluto.

I would've sworn someplace that I read that BML in a male chart is the type of woman he SHOULD be with, but won't because he's scared of her or something LMAOOOOOO.

Uh....*can't relate to that Scorpio interpretation at all*.

I love the way so many astrologers stereotype Scorpio in the most negative way possible. I've read horror stories of people going in to get their chart read, and then being told that they were a murderer and all kinds of other really sick things in their last life, just because they have a lot of Scorpio activity in their chart...

When I read and hear stuff like that coming from astrologers, I just wind up thinking they went into the wrong field because they have no idea what the hell they're talking about.

As far as the actual Lilith in Scorpio situation goes though, I've read worse - stuff about us being sexual succubi (which is hilarious because I'm actually a virgin), so on and so forth. It's just a lot of nonsense and ignorance.

At any rate, there's been a lot of really great threads on Lilith over at the Astrodienst forums, some of them specifically about the Lilith Corridor. Contrary to what you might think, a small corridor is actually a GOOD thing and a gift to some extent, is what I came away from those conversations with, although the exact specifics I can't remember, which is why I'm running a search there now.

Editing to add that I found one post that linked to MOST of the recent Lilith threads - thank God!

Don't forget that Uranus is my chart ruler, so that just makes it even stronger....

Thsnks BP for the links Going to read them now. (I do realise that descriptions I posted were OTT - my Lilith is Scorpio too and I thought "yikes"! - but that's just how astrology goes sometimes, not taking things too literally but rather trying to extrapolate the principles which underly the stereotypes. There usually is a grain of truth somewhere).

BTW, I don't tnink a narrow BML is evil! Like all astrological elements, it is an energy - neutral in itself, but can be experienced positively or negatively. I like my Lilith too (now anyway - although I struggled when I was younger). However, my experience of BML is much less focused on the world at large than yours, mine being on DC not MC, so it plays out attracting some very intense and "different" relationships which I would not change for the world.

I must say, the way that Lilith plays such a strong role in your life is really interesting and has been an eye-opener for me!!

Remember, the MC along with the descendant is, to some extent, how other perceive YOU. So others perceive me in a Lilithian way and then act...out...loool...accordingly.

A lot of those links are really good because in some they go into the projection thing people with a strong Lilith have to deal with. A lot of the commentary is that basically the energy of Lilith is kind of like Pluto and Neptune mashed up. Neptune is notorious for being projected upon, too. Which doesn't really help matters for me because Neptune is also a singleton in my chart. So yeah, I pretty much know now to go into situations expecting loony people and/or people with issues to project their silliness onto me, and when it happens I pretty much shrug it off.

Hehe! Looking back, some of boyfriends probably did think I was straight from the 9th circle! Luckily, my hubby now quite likes my Lilith "ways".

I did enjoy the links! Tx.
