Few points in astrology are as slippery and mysterious as the Black Moon. For years, I have studied her patterns, only to have her slither away the moment a definition comes into focus.\u00a0Ultimately,<\/strong>\u00a0she is a primal force that demands confrontation.<\/p>\n But what exactly is she? We\u2019re not talking about the asteroid Lilith.\u00a0Instead,<\/strong>\u00a0we are discussing the\u00a0Black Moon Lilith (BML)<\/strong>, which represents the apogee of the Moon. This is the Moon\u2019s furthest point from the Earth in its wobbly orbit. That very distance is the key to her meaning.<\/p>\n The word \u2018raw\u2019 is the best way to begin. If the Moon represents nurture,\u00a0then<\/strong>\u00a0BML is the stark opposite. She is the terror of abandonment and the primal scream of a child severed from its lifeline. This is not a logical process;\u00a0rather,<\/strong>\u00a0it is visceral instinct.<\/p>\n The\u00a0Black Moon Lilith meaning<\/strong>\u00a0is deeply tied to the rage of not being heard. It also connects to the feeling of our core needs not being accepted. This is particularly true in the house where BML is found.\u00a0For example,<\/strong>\u00a0in the 5th house, she will rage with utter fury if the need for creative self-expression is denied.<\/p>\n As author Dawn Bodrogi describes it, BML is a void where comfort should be:<\/p>\n \u201cShe is the black hole in our psyche were comfort used to be.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n The rage of Black Moon Lilith is peculiar. It is a black rage, not a red one, that feels instantaneous and blinding.\u00a0In the end,<\/strong>\u00a0it takes over the soul completely, connecting to the nothingness at the dark side of life. It becomes a wailing wound at the center of the material world.\u00a0However,<\/strong>\u00a0in this pure, untamed force, there is something majestic.<\/p>\n BML is also intimately connected to sexual energy\u2014both its uses and abuses. She can sexualize whatever she touches in the chart,\u00a0thereby<\/strong>\u00a0embodying the \u201cfemme fatale\u201d archetype.<\/p>\n One of BML\u2019s darkest sides is her link to castration. She can represent the castrating mother, creating a disconnect between sexuality and intimacy.\u00a0As a result,<\/strong>\u00a0sex becomes conquest instead of union. We can then feel powerless over our own desires, driven by an emptiness we never understand.<\/p>\n Despite her fearsome reputation, BML is the true representative of occult abilities in the chart. She is undeniably witchy.\u00a0Moreover,<\/strong>\u00a0once she sacrifices her destructive hunger, she gains access to the hidden knowledge of the universe. Her wisdom is ancient and purely instinctual.<\/p>\n The only way to tap into this great power is to sacrifice our own fears and terrors.\u00a0Therefore,<\/strong>\u00a0when we understand the source of her rage, we can clear the debris from our soul\u2019s path. This is how we harness her incredible, post-rage clarity.<\/p>\n With a strong BML, we are consequently prone to obsessions. These fixations can be about anything (look to the house position). They often lure us in until we dissolve and lose our sense of self. This brings us back to BML as the \u2018anti-Moon.\u2019 Obsession is the desire of the screaming child to return to the breast.<\/p>\n When we are lost in obsession, we choose an anti-life, which is truly the Black Moon\u2019s realm.\u00a0In doing so,<\/strong>\u00a0we substitute a fantasy for healthy participation in life. Understanding this dark point is a profound journey, but she demands our full, unflinching attention.<\/p>\n This article has been updated and restructured from its original version, which you can read here:\u00a0Some Thoughts on The Black Moon<\/a><\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n <\/body><\/p>\n The post The Slippery Truth of Black Moon Lilith<\/a> appeared first on The Inner Wheel<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Few points in astrology are as slippery and mysterious as the Black Moon.
