By the end of this exercise you will understand the symbolism of the above picture in regards to our old friend, the Black Moon Lilith. There is life in the old girl after all, albeit a very different definition of life than the one we’re used to. A very surprising one.
I’ve been teaching BML in the course on The Dark Goddess. There is a lot of dark energy in all four of the major asteroids. There needs to be. After all, we are discussing the archetype of the feminine, and the feminine = the material world = death, or at least the acknowledgement and acceptance of death and rebirth/renewal. All four of the major asteroids (Ceres, Juno, Vesta, and Pallas) get their turn on the wheel. But BML is important in this cycle, too, and this is why I include her in the Dark Goddess Course. She acts as a counterpoint to the others. So while she is, on the whole, responsible for representing a lot of nasty things in this world (see the previous article on Lilith HERE), she also carries within her the key to renewal beyond the circle of life, death, and death within life. The BML at its best is about what we have not yet seen, known nor understood, and thrusts us right into the middle of it so that we might deal with it intimately and know it deeply.
I’m posting an exercise on the Black Moon. Here are a number of charts with BML prominent. The data has been taken out. Read the previous article on Lilith and then ponder this: Only one of these charts is the chart of a killer/degenerate. See if you can figure out which one it is. No cheating by astro-sleuthing. (Figuring out the date by planetary positions.) Have fun, and I’ll see you in a few days with the answer and some more recent and surprising material on BML.
Please remember with BML that we are dealing with the apogee of the Moon, not the asteroid. Also, these positions are the Mean position for BML, which I prefer for a number of reasons explained in the first article.
