Lilith in Astrology
The Wild Feminine & Shadow
Lilith is not a planet, but a point: the lunar apogee (where the Moon is furthest from Earth). She represents the dark side of the Moon—the raw, primal, uncontrollable feminine energy that refuses to be tamed.

The First Woman
Black Moon Lilith is named after the mythological first wife of Adam, who was banished from Eden because she refused to lie beneath him. In astrology, she represents Rebellion.
The Shadow: Lilith shows where we feel ashamed, rejected, or "too much." Consequently, it shows where we repress ourselves. When unleashed, Lilith energy is rageful, sexual, and powerful.
Liberation: Working with Lilith is about reclaiming the parts of yourself that society told you were "wrong" or "ugly." It is the ultimate freedom of not giving a damn.
