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 good month for investing in friendships. Community shall fulfill. What do you take, what can you give? Time for reciprocation and balance in the give and take of autophagy. It’s not all about suffering, it’s also about joy.
Lilith in Cancer
Are your thoughts merely eating you out? Or do they also provide you nourishment? If you want to move sustainably, it has to be a two way street.
Lilith in Leo
Wish upon a star and hope to die. Or don’t hope. Once you get off this hope/hopelessness spectrum, the life/death binary, a whole other way to be shall come to you. Uncomfortable questions might seem pointless, but you won’t see the point until you ask them.
Lilith in Virgo
Dance to lose yourself in a trance. Dance like a dervish to a non-stop shamanic beat that booms from your heart. Nothing about this is metaphorical. In the trance space, who is eating who? Are you alive or dead? A virus drills through this boundary. Nothing about it is metaphorical.
Lilith in Libra
Defence against the Dark Arts, said someone. But what made it dark? And what made darkness so reprehensible? Outdated institutions of ethics become internalised when even those institutions wither. Love needs pain as much as joy to be real, or it’s just wisps, illusion, not magic.
Lilith in Scorpio
What goes around comes around. For the Earth is not flat. Ocean tides and currents hold a mystery for you. Study not to solve, resolve, but to complicate, make richer. Sometimes the snake still eats itself, even if it is not a perfect circle.
Lilith in Sagittarius
Tend to earthly matters, not just human ones. It may reek of loneliness, but it never is once you begin to listen. The spirit and the body are not two ends of a line, but streams intertwining on the same circle. It’s a time to give yourself up to be eaten and say hello to what lies beyond that fear.
Lilith in Capricorn
Falling upwards like a juggler. Guarding boundaries of life and death, ravens and crows hold a sign for you. Nothing goes to waste in this autophagus place. It transforms beyond its prior state.
Lilith in Aquarius
Talk to strangers passing by; they may eat what you have never defied. And if you should pass a passing child; be kind, generous, and mild. Longings, they come and go; the circle of life but it stays true. What are you past? What are you unwilling to let pass? How does it affect the circle?
Lilith in Pisces
If only pigs had wings, then birds wouldn’t fly! Instead of giving yourself up to feed others, eat yourself. There is a reason you are here in a human form, and it’s not just for others. Accept it. The circle of life is real, rooted and transforming, not a romantic fantasy of suffering.
Lilith in Aries
Ouroboros is not about competition, with yourself or others. Who or which parts of you get to eat whom or which parts of you, faster, better, more? No. It is about listening in community.
Lilith in Taurus
Will hardwork cure bad judgment? Perhaps not. Eating in the wrong direction shall never suffice, howsoever hard you do it. Be mindful of what you put in your belly. In every each way. Ordering new takeouts while accumulating a ton of leftovers neither to be eaten nor discarded only leads to a stinky household.
