Horoscopes are relational maps. They enable awareness of our unfolding relationships to outer space from our varying times and positions on Earth. They give us vocabularies and timespace for developing our relationships with intentionality, accountability and reciprocity within the vast and complex community of our solar system. In doing so, horoscopes tell us about the stellar energies present and available to work with at any given point in spacetime. They remind us that we are in material-spiritual community with not just our human and unhuman kin on Earth but also in a larger community with our galactic relatives that demands responseability.
Relationships need stories to grow, be challenged, and survive. So horoscopes are often read as layered and polyvocal stories. The horoscopes this month are told as your Lilith story. In other words, they are organised by your Lilith sign.
Lilith is the lunar apogee or the point in its orbit where the Moon is furthest from the Earth, thus signaling a unique Earth-Moon relation. There are different versions of Lilith, but one of the most common ones used in Hellenic astrology is Black Moon Lilith, represented by ⚸. To find your Black Moon Lilith sign, you need to look at your birth chart or your natal chart that includes a Black Moon Lilith calculation. Generating your birth/natal chart online will require you to input your date of birth, place of birth and time of birth. Since these are sensitive data, I highly recommend that you use only trusted web sources or other online cloaking technologies to protect your privacy.
A typical Hellenic natal chart may look like this:
The 12 zodiac constellations (Aries, Taurus, Gemini…etc.) typically go around in a circle and are represented by Graeco-Egyptian symbols in a Hellenic natal chart. These symbols look like this:
Aries: ♈︎ , Taurus: ♉︎ , Gemini: ♊︎ , Cancer: ♋︎ , Leo: ♌︎ , Virgo: ♍︎ , Libra: ♎︎ , Scorpio: ♏︎ , Sagittarius: ♐︎ , Capricorn: ♑︎ , Aquarius: ♒︎ , Pisces: ♓︎
Having got hold of your natal chart, you now need to note the zodiac constellation in which the ⚸ symbol appears. That constellation shall represent one version of your Lilith signs.
Lilith in Aries
A restlessness prevails, drawing you away from home towards unfamiliar landscapes that feel eerily like home. Will you answer the call? What scares you about change? Make a list, but do not share it yet. Your anger is not unjust. If you decide to embark upon an adventurous homecoming, do not worry, for Lilith travels with you. Eerily familiar music will support you.
Lilith in Taurus
There is something about family that you have taken for granted for too long, but can no longer. What is it? Express it, say it. Words may feel unfamiliar, colours too much work, but try to string them together nonetheless. The wild ones can find a home too. A need for safety does not mean that you have to be stuck in civilisation. This is not a zero-sum game of either/or. Spend time nurturing yourself, those who love you will appreciate it. And later this month, things will seem different.
Lilith in Gemini
You will question going through the motions. At what point do routines become prisons?, you will wonder. And then you will ask who is holding you prisoner? Not all answers lie within, sometimes the answers lie outside. Exploration and experimentation is not always avoidance. Commitment comes from variety. A vacation will do you much good. A conversation with strangers will make you rethink your place at home.
Lilith in Cancer
You have stayed by yourself too long, it’s time to mingle. Why do you fear losing your safe space? Journal. Then ask friends for help. You are not invulnerable, but that does not mean you need to hide. It is okay to be slow, especially when you are scared. Take it one step at a time, one day at a time. You have been looking for home for too long, and you are almost there. But soon you will accept that you have already arrived.
Lilith in Leo
Feeling left out never feels good. But is it what you are feeling right now or is it the remnant of a forgotten memory? Ask yourself this everytime you feel left out this month, and then surrender your answers to Lilith. Your loneliness is not yours, it is shared in her presence, with her presence. A child will sing a tune that reminds you of something you forgot. Walks in a forest will soothe you.
Lilith in Virgo
Darkness will encounter you like a dose of clarity. Mental checklists have brought you so far, but what next? What looks good on paper is not what challenges you. Challenges can be confusing at first, but then bring you a lucid depth. You realise that the familiar has been difficult lately only because it is a dependable ship trying to anchor. Life is like a video game, taking a risk means that you will always respawn. Stronger, deeper.
Lilith in Libra
Accommodating everyone is your safety school, but what makes you feel unsafe? Do you confuse conflict with unsafe? In the wilderness, you encounter an animal that, surprised by your alien form, snarls at you. Do you hide your true self or do you stand your ground? What if that animal was clothed as your familiars? What if that animal was you? Take a sumptuous bath or dip your feet in a river.
Lilith in Scorpio
Right and wrong, darkness and light, power and helplessness- these have always been clear to you. There is no use trying to reinvent the wheel, you say. But what if this wheel was not serving you in your terrain? What is your current terrain? Look around. You are water, not a mountain, and the mountain is not as powerful as you think. In the rhythm of moon phases, your armour shall be broken. Pay attention to the rhythm, for it holds the mystery of a resilient softness.
Lilith in Sagittarius
Escaping the familiar will no longer be an option. And perhaps has not been for a while. Doesn’t mean you won’t try, but you are also tired of moving in circles. Ngl, there is harshness here, and you will have to face it. Smells of animal fear, but why? Stop moving for a second and give your thoughts permission to take their own journeys. You are not because you think, nor because you feel. Meditate to come back into your energy. If circles are starting to bore you, could you make spirals instead?
Lilith in Capricorn
You will find roots where you least expect it. You will find roots when you least expect it. In civilisation, they outsource the details to slaves and robots. Label them technicalities and dismiss. In wilderness, there is magic in everyday labour. And so you will remember your hedgewitch magic. The little things will matter. The fantasy of the epic no longer your cup of tea, the earthiness of rain but will make you cry. It is okay. Release.
Lilith in Aquarius
Great starry visions beckon you, often in contradiction. Where is your allegiance? Duality is unavoidable and you must choose in alignment with Earth. But it does not need to be their distinctions, it could be yours. The real cannot be all fluff, you’ve got to walk the talk. Nothing is pure, everything tainted. But that is a useful trait. Avoid sophistry and you will appreciate this darkness without romantic pretension. Your first job is to feed and water yourself.
Lilith in Pisces
What you put out in the world will come back to you. What you share or refuse with your familiars, will be shared or refused to you as well. As above, so below. As within, so without. The spiritual and material realms will meet in your heart. Answer the call of adventure but not to escape. What prevents you from being present? Lilith dances with abandon, not to look cool. Playtime is your friend.
