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 Gemini
A lion stands behind you, without attacking. A fire burns around you, without scalding. What inside of you would you let burn today? What would it burn outside of you? A madman asks, in what ways do you dream of snapping? In what ways do you dream of breaking away?
Lilith in Cancer
When was the last time you took a break? A real one? How did it nourish you? And when you were forced to un-break, how were you paralysed? Do not confuse paralysis with patience. Plants will die if you overwater them, and it is true elsewhere too.
Lilith in Leo
Leading your pack is not about breakthroughs and achievements. It is about taking the first step into the unknown. When did you last let your own advice break you? Instead of dispensing it to the world, commune with your globe-shattering wisdom in solitude.
Lilith in Virgo
A break can be stillness, but a break can also be movement. Don’t let the ropes bind you so tight that you come to associate the bruises they leave on your body with your safe place. Let a break plant within you, discernment: What is the difference between safety and protection. Why follow the dominant current when you know your calling is different? These questions are real, not rhetorical.
Lilith in Libra
In what ways do you feel broken? In what ways do you feel revived? Stargazing shall bring you answers. So a meditative mind. It is the middle of the journey. You are re-forming. It can be uncomfortable. But it is okay. You are good enough.
Lilith in Scorpio
They poke at you with their sticks, hoping that you would break. In the past, you have resisted breaking, just to make a point. Now you are tired of these loops of power, and it doesn’t seem to matter. You let yourself break, not on their terms, but your own. And in doing so, a different world is revealed where integrity is a relationship of breakage.
Lilith in Sagittarius
After the pieces have shattered and blood dried, which ones do you pick up, which ones do you leave be? How do you put them together? Which fantastic ways would you arrange the bones in? What magical creatures shall you birth? La Loba sends her love.
Lilith in Capricorn
How has giving broken you? How has receiving? Or were you perfectly intact the whole time? (Be honest.) What kinds of receiving put you in debt and binds? What manners of giving drain you dry? It is time to re-form boundaries.
Lilith in Aquarius
You are a philosopher, but is it really philosophy when it leaves you and your world untransformed in any real way? Your breakthrough shall be a philosophy that moves beyond the mental into the physical. Will you let philosophy ooze from your body? Or will you limit it to your mind? Your head’s getting heavy, and your body needs love not lust.
Lilith in Pisces
What if the most valuable thing you had was broken? What if breaking was a way of travelling instead of sullying? Things clutched tight may not break, but what kind of life would it be, familiar and unbroken? So why are you holding on?
Lilith in Aries
When you move fast enough to shatter yourself, pause, take a break and refrain from rebuilding. Action is overrated but not-doing does not mean inaction. Break your energies in a different direction. Not everything needs to be resolved.
Lilith in Taurus
The image of the Other is not simply a projection of your shadow Self. Love transforms by breaking, displacing, not an act of reflecting. How have you let yourself be broken in love? How have you grown new parts? How have you travelled? How have you conversed with grief?
