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
Movement. Joyful movement. Even if you feel scared at first, try to not resist. Like throwing a baton in the air as part of a rambunctious parade routine. There is always the moment of uncertainty when it’s high up in the air if you’ll catch it again or if it shall land smack onto your forehead. The uncertainty is the thrill of this ride. Be thrilled. You dread movement because it is so deeply you. So let the thrill of the moment move you in the right ways. Observe cedar move in the fierce cold winds.
Lilith in Cancer
Much as a changing world changes you, to live on a different Earth, you must be different. It’s a moment of reckoning. What relational status quo are you unwilling to let go of? Let it go. Have you been relating vertically for a long time, trying to impress…others, yourself? Try relating horizontally, like lying, resting, dreaming. If inequality irks you, become more equal with yourself and your ways of relating. Think of mushrooms and their vast forest networks built on respectful difference. The softness of summer cotton and the brownness of the fungal autumn is the same taste, in a different shape.
Lilith in Leo
The external must be harvested to feed the internal. Do not get so swept up by everyday pressures that you forget what matters to you. There is magic awaiting you in your kitchen. Food should nourish and make you feel alive, not sap you into indigestion. However good it tastes, momentary pleasures cannot be all. You will crave something deeper. The blurry gray lines of confused civilising politeness must transform into boundaries. You need to eat better—both in body and soul. Try an apple, great too for holiday decorations;)
Lilith in Virgo
Overwhelming emotions and information often accompany an ending. Remember you cannot choose where your train leads to or even stops, but you can choose where to get off. Are you drowning in all the input? Consciously choose to not overthink. Say: “I will not overthink,” when you find it all spiralling. Say it aloud and stop. It can work like magic if you believe in it. Lavender, the plant, the flower, the colour can bring you calm. You deserve rest more than you need to work. You are already good enough.
Lilith in Libra
It’s already transforming. You have been skeptical in the past, but you shall be no more. Clarity dawns like a razor sharp fence. Can we make boundaries without making properties? Can we honour our limits without rendering ourselves powerless? Death (and rebirth) for you requires a reckoning with these questions. New orientations are available if you are willing to lie still in an uncomfortable position. Sit with your discomfort, drink tea, marvel at flowers. Doodle.
Lilith in Scorpio
New starts, fresh beginnings. Go for a walk in the water, trees and scrubland. The old is clearing away. The interconnectedness of things will be palpable. It has probably always been palpable to you though, what you have worried about is power. Don’t chase it because you feel a lack. Let it settle and come to you. Power, like The Devil, is only a wounded, frightened animal. Have patience, and trust, do not spook. A rebirth is promised to you. Let your body show you the crafts it already knows. Wherefrom your art will erupt in unexpected forms.
Lilith in Sagittarius
Dying is balancing but love must always transform between the heavens and earth. Grand visions! Be rooted. But refrain from clipping your dreams beyond recognition in the process of rooting and in the name of practicality. Where is the line you wonder? It is for you to find out. It is a balancing act, like a juggler’s. But whenever you feel your enthusiasm and magic fading away, know it is a sign. To stop, sleep, re-evaluate. Whenever you feel you cannot afford to stop, you must stop, rest, and look within all the more. Let the illusion of productivity and promised outcomes die.
Lilith in Capricorn
Grieving needs a safe space. There is nothing wrong in ensuring survival. Death is not the opposite of survival but part of its transformative depth. Garlic will strengthen you for this journey. Protection is a keyword for you this month. If so far you’ve understood it only in the sense of conservation and resistance to change, it is time to let that limited relation to protection die. You will understand the relationship between protection and holding space. Protection as productive, not defensive. Pay attention to the moon cycles and to your moon cycles. There is something about the nature of protection to learn here.
Lilith in Aquarius
Pop, pop, poppy! It may be gray around you but you will skip in steps of joy. The promise of spring and summer may call out to you. Or the fire of the autumn leaves could be a warm and welcoming embrace as you prepare for the winter months. If guilt creeps upon you, remind yourself that you have a right to be, and feel what you feel. Even if those feelings are shared by nobody around you. Your ‘weirdness’ is your magic. Refrain from downplaying it. You may die in the process, but you will also be born again. Because you are protected. Love, not fear will tide you through. Share the love.
Lilith in Pisces
You have always been a poet, whether you liked it or not. You have been a sensitive soul. You have understood death in the crags of your dreams, waking up on wispy wintry mornings. Even if you didn’t always have all the words. Tears are a salt taste that remind you of our connectedness to the ocean. The world may deride you for it, but who wants to trust the judgment of this unequal world. You are of the true Earth. The magical Earth. You are magic, you are beautiful, you are powerful. In your softness lies your strength, in your vulnerability lies your serenity. Prepare to hibernate this winter, make your cosy, go within, and tell those spirit stories which can only be spoken on in the winter. The losses you sense are not yours. You are whole, transformed. There will be proof later.
Lilith in Aries
In being born, you are closest to death. Isn’t it a wonderful life? Overthink if you must. Sometimes the only way is through. But remember that true change is not founded on the mental plane. Instead it must be embodied. Light shines within you but sometimes the darkening clouds are more fascinating. It is okay to explore without having a destination in mind. So what if you stumble and hurt? You’ve been there before. You will grieve and you shall get up again. This land is not a one-dimensional measure to be counted and classified. There is poesie to its layers. You don’t need to discover or solve, just live it.
Lilith in Taurus
The texture of grief is not something you are unfamiliar with. Drowning in the autumn air like a withered cotton seed that could not find its soil. Still, the longing for home is never complete. What is your relationship to desire? Let that old relationship to desire die and a new one begin. If disdain of your irrational Sehnsucht is what has kept you away, what will bring you closer? Inertia feels comfortable, settled, but you know you are an unsettler. What will it take for you to allow discomfort in your life? Blend spices, take in their strange fragrance, take a risk. For what is life without the possibility of dying? Just endless mundanity.
