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
Unspeakable thoughts bubble up. Let them. Expressions of grief bubble up. Let them. Your passions may seem to take a darker turn but it’s a call to explore the unexplored. Use logic to expand yourself, not restrict. This is a time of discovery. You cannot reason with your emotions, but that does not mean that they need to take over your everyday. There is a quiet serenity in not trying. There is a lot said when we do not speak.
Lilith in Cancer
What are you trying to run from? Did you structure your routine in a way that you won’t have to face the uncomfortable? But how stable is this structure and how long will it last? Or maybe it’s a lack of structure. Emotions are fickle, desire is not everything, what you need is commitment, repetition. You’ve tried to avoid disciplines because of the suffocation you feel, but what if there were another unsuffocating way? There is something unexpected to discover in the mundane, do not dismiss what you haven’t tried simply because it doesn’t seem ‘cool.’ Your creative dreams will benefit from slipping into fluid structures.
Lilith in Leo
If the landscape seems quiet now, it is time to rest. Trust that the process does not always require fighting, neither does a life well-lived always require progress. Forward movement is overrated, have you tried moving laterally? There is a deep politics operating here. But if nothing comes to mind, just stay still. Meditate. Question the habit of always overloading your calendar, work and social time need not take all your life. Balance between giving and receiving.
Lilith in Virgo
The desire for winning breeds an arrogance which does not beguile you. Yet this desire haunts you with the lie that you are not good enough until you do. You think you want to fit in, but really you seek to lead. Being a leader however does not mean occupying a throne. It is important to use cold, clear reason to distinguish between your deepest desires and the conscious and unconscious demands of others. Ice has its uses. There will be a time for fire, but now is the time for icy boundaries so that you may dream your dreams.
Lilith in Libra
Something huge is shifting, and it’s not comfortable. But it’s okay because you were born to see patterns of the wild in civilising chaos. There is beauty in breakdown, and you are well-positioned to appreciate it. Give up trying to resist the transformation of the old aesthetic to the new — there is nothing to fight here, only a chance to wonder upon the changing forms of beauty. Let your habits transform with the transforming times, let them take on new aesthetics. There is nothing to judge here (good or bad). Just an unfolding life to live. Beauty to relish without glorification. You have the eye of a beholder, you are beautiful.
Lilith in Scorpio
Old habits have hardened you, it is time to be softer. Love moves towards you if you let it by giving yourself space to love. Your best desires move towards you if you make space in your life to receive them. If you want soft things, wearing hard armour won’t serve you. If you seek detached but affectionate lightness, chasing after outcomes will not satisfy. Do you have enough space in your everyday to explore with your inner child? Are you holding on too tightly to what you already know? Matter occupies space so if you really want the new, the old will have to go. Otherwise it’s all chimera.
Lilith in Sagittarius
Rebellion is good, but throwing the baby out with the bathwater is not. Have you confused the difference between the two? An offer of love comes your way but asks you to stay grounded in matterspirit. What you see in this world is not disconnected from what is beyond. Which means your personal physics shift the configurations of timespace. Creative routines grounded in spirituality seek your attention. Poetry may be sublime but still involves putting graphite to paper, food to stomach.
Lilith in Capricorn
It’s not about legacy, it’s about the nurturing and protection of those who you love. Do your everyday habits reflect that or are you so caught up in your drive to build that you’ve acquired tunnel vision? Double-check your priorities, and use logic to assign each emotion its time. If you’ve grown tired of grieving, it is time to move again. It is good that you gave time to that part of yourself, now may be time for another. On the other hand, if you have not grieved enough, you know what to do. Heavy emotions can be heavy, so allow space for them in your routines. Care for your hidden self. Be guided by what matters to you. Listen to your tools in this journey but do not let them define what matters.
Lilith in Aquarius
Choices are imminent. Even when you escape, you make a choice. Commit to something or you make castles in the air. But commit to everything and you commit to nothing. Know your limitations, there is only so much time between sunrise and set. Accept your limitations if you want to progress. Do you see limitations as hindrance or as a structuring tool? Wondrous companionship awaits you at the end of a rainbow. But even an ephemeral rainbow needs material sun and rain to appear. What are you willing to invest? It is time to decide.
Lilith in Pisces
Changing seasons, harvest time. Celebration and joy await you and you deserve the best. Twilight will be important for reasons unsaid. Even in bright light shadows appear. But this time they will not frighten you. You will be led down a path where you can spy a different world. Nighttime stars will guide you. The line between material and spiritual will grow thinner and thinner, but that’s okay. Whenever you set out to explore (and explore you must!), remember to always come home. Homecoming can be painful when you feel it so. But coming home is crucial, for balance is key. Anchor yourself in the Earth, talk to the fairies, you are in this world for a reason.
Lilith in Aries
What are you holding on to? What are you unwilling to let go? You have been fighting so long, but whose fight is this? The adrenaline of battle is one thing, but does it feed you or merely suck away? Why are you scared of crumbling? Talk to yourself. Journal. This world does not make sense because you are called to another path. Heed that calling. Then recreate your world by recreating yous. This is not about hope, it is about letting water heal. Water. Be near, drink. A different kind of adventure, an untried experiment with your self.
Lilith in Taurus
How long will you wait? Patience is admirable but not when it is an excuse for inaction. Nestled in the wombs of trees, the Earth has been calling out your name. When will you take action? Your destiny is connected with that of hers. Companionship awaits but impossible to recollect when you have tunnel vision. It’s time to let go of the womb and be born. Create, fight, and move. Move. Move. Movemovemovemovemovemovemovemovemovemovemovemovemovemovemovemove. MOVE!
