Black Moon Lilith

Lilith is not a body but a point: the place in the Moon's orbit farthest from the Earth, the mean lunar apogee. It moves once through the zodiac in just under nine years. Twentieth-century astrology gave it the name Lilith and reads in it a wild, hidden side that will not be tamed.

Lilith is now in Capricorn, since 16 September 2026; the next change, into Aquarius, is on 12 June 2027.
