Asteroid lilith (1181)

True osculating black moon lilith (h13)

Mean black moon lilith (h12)

Interpolated black moon lilith (h21)

Dark moon lilith / waldemath lilith (h58)

Hey there!! 💓 Oh phew!! 💓💓💓 All three huh!? 💓💓 Alrighty let me put it so I can see...

Asteroid Lilith/Sun/ASC trine

BML/MC trine

DML/Venus conjunct

I think I answered an ask about Asteroid Lilith trine sun?? But great, potentially it can be nice, just as long as you learn what it means/how to wield it well 💓 One thing is to also think about hmm, how to understand the lesson of asteroid Lilith 💓

Since it’s the 1st stage-- the person who is unconventional, impulsive, rebellious. Asteroid Lilith may emphasize/talk more about exploiting certain things in order to have power. Depending on what sign/house it’s in that can also give you a really interesting (and possibly deeper) insight into how/who you are too (and what your vices are as well)? 💓💓  

2nd stages of things, Black Moon Lilith/Mean Lilith. Obsession, duality, unknown/unseen, more than just material. Dichotomy in certain things. It’s the Lunar apogee, use it to boost your MC if you can. But learn how to wield it well. I honestly don’t know what to say much about trine aspects because-- well, there’s not much to say? 💓 

But here, let’s talk about Dark Moon Lilith, the 3rd stage. Especially if it’s conjunct. More potent, especially if it’s tight (less than 1′ orb) 💓 

I did a post about algor earlier that might be something you might want to look into?? The key thing is, try to use it objectively.  💓 When your Dark moon is conjunct to your Venus, there’s a chance of things being painful or losing your head if you don’t learn how to use/control it objectively. The ego is the main part that hurts you --  vengeance and a lot of the ‘darker’ side comes out, even if you didn’t do anything in particular that deserves it. Retaliation, equal hurt, hitting back. Whilst there’s a lot of power that can be wield, please remember to use your power with removing oneself/ego and wield it responsibly as well 💓💓💓

Okay so I’m just finding this information out myself so I don’t really understand it all that well but apparently there are 4 types of Liliths:

Asteroid 1181 Lilith True (Oscillating) Lilith Black Moon (Mean) Lilith Dark Moon (Waldemath Black Moon) Lilith

The most accurate of the Lilith signs is the Asteroid 1181 Lilith because it is an actual physical body that holds sustenance, whereas the other 3 liliths are extremely theoretical, based off of points that may or may not exist as they have not yet been confirmed in our lifetime.

However, despite this, many astrologers seem to use the true Lilith (oscillating) or mean Lilith (black Moon) when calculating an individuals natal chart. Astrology websites are also very wishy-washy on this and you might have to readjust the settings on an online calculator to properly figure out which Lilith is which.

This is more obvious to me from the fact that I literally spent two hours frustrated that Astrotheme was telling me I was a Capricorn Lilith but Astrodienst was telling me I was a Sagittarius Lilith. I now know that they’re both right and wrong at the same time.

The Dark Moon (Waldemath) Lilith is extremely controversial because it is not only a theoretical point that has not been confirmed, it also based off of some old Middle Age legend that there are two Moons circulating Earth instead of one. Basically, the story goes that the Dark Moon is the the Moon hiding behind the real moon and yada yada but we now know that is bullshit because we know the earth has only one Moon. But some will still use the Dark Moon Lilith if they feel a connection to it I suppose.

So how to calculate the Lilith?

On Astrotheme, you only have the option of finding your true Lilith and mean Lilith. Simply clicking on your birth chart and selecting “True Lilith” or “Mean Lilith” under Calculation Parameters will allow you to easily find them both. More than likely your True and Mean liliths will be different.

On Astrodienst, it’s another story. You can calculate all 4 Liliths (and more) by simply going to your “Extended Chart Selection” under the “Free Horoscopes” tab, sub-tab “Drawings & Calculations”.

Scroll down and copy and paste these into the white bar where it says “additional asteroids”:

1181, h13, h21, h58

And then click to show the chart.

On the chart, the four Liliths will appear as:

1181 Lilith Lilith (o) Lilith (I) Waldemath

Which is the Asteroid, True, Mean, and Dark Liliths in order.

I personally identify with my True and Mean liliths the most (yes it is possible to use more than one lilith in identification) but I will look more into my Asteroid and Dark Moon Liliths. You may or may not identify with one or all of them but it also wise to check if any of them have an aspect to other parts of your chart, such as the north node and midheaven (as the Lilith is our hidden, dark side of personality and can be found prominent in our careers). It is also possible for some of the Liliths to be in the same sign, so don’t worry if that happens to you.
