Black Moon Lilith is not a planet or asteroid but a mathematical point — the lunar apogee, where the Moon's orbit reaches its farthest distance from Earth. In astrology, Lilith represents your shadow side: repressed desires, raw power, sexuality, and the parts of yourself that society pressured you to hide.

The Mythology of Lilith

In ancient Mesopotamian and Jewish mythology, Lilith was Adam's first wife who refused to be subservient and was cast out of Eden. She became a symbol of untamed feminine power — dangerous to patriarchal structures precisely because she could not be controlled. In astrology, this archetype translates into the part of your psyche that refuses to conform regardless of consequences.
