Lilith

In astrology, Black Moon usually denotes the direction of the calculated lunar apogee. Lilith also names other objects and concepts that should be distinguished.

How it is defined

The apogee is not a place where the Moon stops receiving light. Mean and osculating variants can produce different positions; neither is a psychological diagnosis.

How to read it

Start by identifying the factor, its position and the data behind it. Then explore its symbolic reading and consider which questions make sense in your own experience.

A concrete example

If two programs show Lilith at different degrees, check that they use the same variant. A shared name does not ensure they calculated the same point.
