Find my Lilith signWhat is Black Moon Lilith?
Black Moon Lilith is not a planet or an asteroid. It is a point: the spot in the Moon’s orbit that is farthest from Earth, also called the lunar apogee. The name comes from Lilith of Jewish folklore, and astrologers use it as a symbol of the raw, unfiltered side of a person.
Your Lilith sign is read as where you resist being told to behave, what you were asked to hide and where your independence is strongest. This guide uses the mean Lilith, which is the one most chart apps and the Lilith calculator use. Astrologers also work with other points called Lilith, and those can fall in a different sign. These readings are tradition rather than science, so use them for reflection.
How long does Lilith stay in a sign?
Mean Black Moon Lilith goes round the zodiac in about 8.85 years, so it spends close to nine months in each sign. People born in the same year can have different Lilith signs, so your birth date matters. Dates close to a sign change may need a birth time to settle.
