LILITH THE HARLOT OF HEAVEN, IN LIBRA
Or, Lilith, the feminist icon in Libra,
you choose…
How a class of Air-demons became the symbol of feminine resistance and power….
We will start with some astrology. Lilith (mean or not, lol[1]) spends 9 months in a sign (as long as a baby in the mother’s womb) and about 9 years to move around the zodiac (Which is about half of the lunar node cycle).
Lilith entered Libra in June 2024 and will remain in Libra until March 2025. The True Black Moon (we will explain what it means later) will go retrograde on October 10, then direct again towards the end of the month, then back to retrograde November 10, etc.
LIBRA IS associated with a scale because The sun crosses Libra at the time of the Fall equinox, traditionally said that day and night are almost equal. For details, Just google it.
LiBRA IS balance harmony, law, esthetics; the search or the soul for equilibrium between self — embodied by Aries, across from Libra— and the necessity or the desire to relate with the outside world, or to others, through partnerships and eventually love.
How to be a perfect diplomat living in a world of beauty and elegance, yet able to impose (Aries) the rule of a country or self-assertiveness.
Consequently, whether using a male or female body, we have the best opportunity to look at all our unconscious or repressed aspects, have impacted the type of people and groups, we relate with and how we relate with them. Who, what is in charge? Who is on top in the relationship and why?
We must face all aspects of self, dark or not, that have not been expressed because of the world we live in, rules, conditions, circumstances —children vs adults, culture — or cosmic mechanisms implying the enfoldment of time space. Were enable to be ourselves because of fear, lack of assertiveness, obligations etc?.
At the personal level all toxicity in our relationships and partnerships should be examined. if you are dealing with a serious issue, remember that beyond all present, psychological pattern, there is a karmic problem. No guilt. Karma does not always imply wrongdoing. It is just easy terminology. You must in fact dig into what we will call past/parallel existences, other spacetimes, to uncover how, in the situations that you created to learn, you did not respect, or abandoned part of yourself; how you gave away your power to others. Or allowed others, partners for instance, to play a role that you could not or did not want to play.
Hidden and occult, in the spirituel sense, not just secret power struggles in partnerships, friendships and close relationships will flair up and need to be addressed. You must detangle, from karmic entanglement, your soul from past agreements.
At the geopolitical level, we have been watching politicians and influential personalities taking side more radically; states revising their international agreements. The international financial and political balance is revisited. NATO has been moving and states within NATO are not necessarily following the rules.
The war Gaza-Israel expanded because of agreements between factions and muddy, murky behind the scene, connections of Iran, Lebanon, Hezbollah and Hamas. Or simply because of international politics that must be revised, involving Israel, the US, Russia and more. Also, the impact of the eclipses families or Saros is felt. Life moves in steps and rhythm. (See video October 2nd)
As a quick summary, Lilith having to do with self-assertiveness and power, we will then revise and adjust how we feel about who we are fundamentally, how we feel about our true self, our power, how we exert it and from what foundation. And, of course, women have been imposing a revision of the culture of male dominance and abuse.
Lilith rebelled and took revenge. Not necessarily an expression of love. So, yes, freedom and assertiveness, but, we live in a family, a society, within the body of expression of a live and intelligent Consciousness. So, how do we balance all that?
Both Israelites and Palestinians believe or at least voice their need for recognition. They feel cheated as Lilith felt cheated by Yaweh and Adam. Interestingly, the middle east is in fire, and we are speaking about a character or an archetype that had a problem with the most famous deity of the Middle East… until humankind was given another direction with the Jesus mythos…. How funny!
On October 7th, Palestinian reporters expressed the fact that they felt joy when Hamas invaded the Israeli border, one year ago… and then realized that it was eventually a mistake. I do not have enough data to even start with Natanyahu’s personality and deep motives.
Lamia 1909 John William Waterhouse
I must say clearly that I do not believe BML to be essentially dark or negative. It is a powerful aspect of the nature of spacetime and consciousness. There is much to say about the cosmic level, and the nature of the feminine, but this is for the next video.
Sex, prostitution, on the street and cultural, demonology, magic, and patriarchy have been a part of the last cycle. We are painfully and sometimes curiously dealing with all these concepts.
Is a women liberated because she wears a short that does not cover anything or because she knows and love herself? Actually, did the character that we have imagined , did Lilith love herself? The term love is rarely present in her circles. As spiritual seekers and practitioners of the Tradition, or the Gnosis, or whatever, how much are we supposed to flirt with old entities and demons? With egregores, energy fields that became so dark that our souls became sick?
The personality, or part of self that is connected to Earth and to the Sun, is the best expression of our soul on the journey to consciousness. As an aspect of the Moon, thus of the unconscious mind, Lilith, from her hideout, shamelessly excavates everything, belief system, taboo, rule or just facts of life that has impeached her of being herself.
Luc Bige says that “LL expresses everything that the personality (connected to Earth) has not been willing to recognize as hers.” Personality is feminine in french, has not be willing to recognize as a part of Self.” Woooo[2]
As A COLLECTIVE
We are revising our beliefs and relationships with all institutions. Governments and structures within governing bodies; the justice system; religions, our deepest cultural beliefs, such as the rape culture in South Asia[3]; the subjugation of women in Muslim or just middle-eastern communities.
We are questioning the nature of God, of Consciousness and thus our behavior, our response to the Universe. Humans feel empowered by science, by the access to information — correct or false, the right to protest or to carry a gun. Now, can they also adjust their level or responsibility?
OK, LET’S GO BACK TO BASICS WITH MYTHOS
More details surfaced since I wrote Kiss
In ancient Mesopatamia, around the second century BC, Lamasthu, daughter of the skygod Anu, is a terrifying child killer, menacing women during childbirth. This malevolent goddess, with a lioness head, the feet of a bird, is the direct response to the ordeal experienced by women for centuries while bearing children and giving birth. An answer to traumatic events, a belief appeared …. as all calamities were understood as related to obscure creatures…
Humans know, in their heart, that they are a part of something bigger than they are. When science did not exist, explaining that a little microbe can take your life, they imagined and installed Devas and divinities that would be the cause of good and bad things. They fed the quantum field that sustains their life with the images created by their own consciousness.
How do we explain the world? Atum, Isis and Osiris, Yahweh and the garden of Eden… well, the world is not so bright, let’s bring a Serpent and a Lilith…
We can also take the side of Mother Nature…. as a reaction to humans, unable to stop pro-creating … nature balancing the ordeal with death… let’s bring the child killer….
Numerous amulets and incantation bowls were found against the child killing creatures.
In Mesopotamia and Babylon, a lili is a demonic being, one category being the ghosts of young women who died before experiencing sex, thus looking for it from other planes. This is Ardat Lili who attempts to seduce young men at night.
All this probably induced by humans being aware of, yet not understanding their nightly astral flights and astral sexual behaviors. Of course, it is so much easier to blame it on gods and on women… that might be the long-term habit that needs to shift!
So, the concept of Lilith as we know her now, surged in the middle age, specifically in Spain with the local rise of Jewish culture and kabbalah.
JEWISH
Hebrew, Bible: Isaiah 34:14. The book of Isaiah is believed to date from the 8th century BC, when the Israelites and tribes of Judah were threatened by the Assyrian empire.
The creatures of the desert will encounter jackals And the hairy goat will call to its kind; Indeed, Lilith (night demon) will settle there And find herself a place of rest.”
A few translations replace Lilith by ‘screech owl’. Darby chose to translate using the name Lamia.
http://analogicalplanet.com/Pages/ContentPages/Sidebars/BurneyRelief.html
Interesting link between Lilith, owl and the Mesopotamian Inanna
“Burney relief : The mix of styles and symbols suggests a hybrid divinity, a link between ancient archetypes and more recent devolutions. According to Baring and Cashford (The Myth of the Goddess 1991) it is probable that the plaque represents “Innana in her role as the goddess of sky, earth and underworld, Queen of the Great Above and the Great Below.” They go on to explain that
“The Sumerian word for owl is ninna and the name Nin-ninna given to the goddess in her owl form meant ‘Divine Lady Owl’. The ancient texts also give the Akkadian word kilili for Nin-ninna, and this name was one shared by Innana and Ishtar.” DID WE GO FROM KLILLI TO LILITH?
In ancient israel, the term lil depicts a class of malevolent spirits. The litit or lilitu are night creatures, night women, like the owl.
Lilith is mentioned in the seventh century Mishdrah, the Alpha-bet of Ben Sira, a pretty weird commentary.[4] IT Was inspired by an earlier work, the Book of Sirach.[5]
Later, in the middle age, they were 2 concomitants currents. While the Church and religions were very strict, retrograde, trying to regulate or control human behaviors and sexuality, there was an explosion of dark practice, black magic … or vice versa.
So, here is the story that everyone knows, from Sira but I have to repeat it… in case you don’t… was in my book AKiss…. Lilith was the first wife of Adam. Yaweh had no idea that being a god is not an easy task…
They were created from the same material by Yahweh, from the Earth, who dropped them in the Garden of Eden. When they started to have sex, ok, the text…. “Adam and Lilith] promptly began to argue with each other: She said, “I will not lie below,” and he said, “I will not lie below, but above, since you are fit for being below and I for being above.” She said to him, “The two of us are equal, since we are both from the earth.” And they would not listen to each other. Since Lilith saw [how it was], she uttered God’s ineffable name and flew away into the air. Adam stood in prayer before his Maker and said, “Master of the Universe, the woman you gave me fled from me!””
This story was a good tool to enforce patriarchy and keep women in sexual subservience. Obey, submit to your men or you will be chased out of Eden, barren and left haunting the night and the desert, like the screech owl.
A most awkward aspect of the story: when the 3 angels dispatched by Yahweh found Lilith, she says: “Leave me alone! I was only created in order to sicken babies: if they are boys, from birth to day eight I will have power over them; if they are girls, from birth to day twenty.”
So, she made a deal with the angels: she accepted to see 100 of her children die every day and she will not harm children bearing amulets using their names.
Interesting detail about the creation of the first wife, in the book of Genesis. The story of the creation of Adam and wife is repeated twice with a little change. Is it just a repetition or are we speaking about two different events?
. The first story mentions Adam’s wife being created from the same material: “So God created mankind in his own image,
in the image of god he created them;
male and female he created them.”
Genesis 1:27.
Then, genesis 2 tells the story of creation again, mentioning that Eve was extracted from Adam’s rib: So the Lord God caused the man to fall into a deep sleep; and while he was sleeping, he took one of the man’s ribs[g] and then closed up the place with flesh. 22 Then the Lord God made a woman from the rib[h] he had taken out of the man, and he brought her to the man.”
Some believe that the first story is the creation of Lilith, the second the making of Eve.
Closer to us, Lamiai, mentioned by the Greek writers of the first century, is also a winged serpent being, a type of succubus, tempting men at night. This is the direct connection to Lilith who is supposed to seduce men in their sleep, starting with Adam, unable to resist her beauty and sex appeal.
In Greek mythology, there is also a more glorious Lamia, one of Poseidon’s daughter, is one of the beauties seduced by Zeus, and then paying the consequences: Hera, Zeus’s wife robbed Lamia’s children. Distressed Lamia starting to rob and kill other children.
The jewish and then modern Lilith is Lilith is a combination of the previous goddesses or demons. But She was not a goddess; she had no temple. She was a demon, fun eventually yet dangerous and a killer.
HOW DO WE END UP WITH A LILITH IN ASTROLOGY?
Or. How do human co-create, adding or reviving archetypes and bringing them to their 3D life when needed or when they want to enjoy a certain energy? Certain kinds of experiences.
How was Lilith revived by astrologers?
Helena Blavatsky who contributed enormously to the revival of metaphysics in the west mentions Lilith in her Secret doctrine, as the Jewish demon, counterpart of Samael, a dark angel.
While explaining the evolution of the human race from animal man to hu-man, the third and 4th human race, she speaks about Satyrs, ‘an extinct race of animal men.’
QUOTE: ‘the animal Eves were their foremothers and the human Adams their forefathers. Hence the cabbalistic allegory of Lilith, or Lilatu, Adam’s first wife, whom the Talmud describes as a charming woman… or a female hairy animal of a now unknown character, still a female animal, called in Talmudic allegories the female reflection of Samael, Samael-Lilith, or man-animal united… a beast. It is from this un-natural union that the present apes descended. “ II p 262. END OF QUOTE
Wild if we add that, in the cabbalistic tradition we sometimes hear that Samael was/is impotent.
Blavatsky also associates Lilith with the Eastern Dakini, tantric creatures, walking in the air, and without mind, only animal instinct, p 285.
I am walking on eggs… Now, Dakini, or space dancers have a much more brilliant status. See notes and references on my website.[6]
Who can truly classify all that, when the past is so far and the present so blurry? Why do we want to bring back Lilith to our Zodiac??
May be because the Jewish Lilith who confronted the old god Yaweh and the 3 angels is not stupid. Street smart at least. Ok let’s call her paradise smart! How do you navigate Adam, the suave king of Eden, who wanted to be on top, Yaweh and angels? Ouch!
I have my own interpretation about Samael, an energy that I still consider the poison of god and not a positive force in the story of life on planet earth.
More interesting and far reaching:
may be because humans want to finish dealing with the old deities…
another possibility, or… the end of the fall in darkness, in terms of cycle and the abondance of Light coming from the Cosmos, has created a counter reaction and we witness a recrudescence of darkness that people want to present as a good thing. How many websites and youtube channels do we have advertising, supporting pretty dark archetypes and entities?
Blavastky also claimed that the Lilith prototype were the human females who became the wives of the Watchers. As of today, I do not support this idea. May be the future will open new avenues…. Actually, this idea was probably based on the Zohar[7]; this could be the subject of another video.
Blavatsky had a longtime partner, Walter Gorn Old or Gornold, also known as Sepharial, astrologer, amongst other things. The name Sepharial is the name of an angel, mentioned in the Book of Enoch.
He is “ credited as the first astrologer to use Earth’s “dark moon” Lilith in his calculations.” According to wiki, “In 1918, astrologer Walter Gornold, also known as Sepharial, claimed to have confirmed the existence of Waltemath’s moon.[5][6] He named it Lilith.”
Remember, the theosophists also emphasized on the positive role of Lucifer as the Light Bearer. This is not a bad point for me, as evidenced by my writings but this is a far too simple interpretation of cosmic life.
Also, acknowledging the fall and dark side does not necessarily implies worshiping Lucifer.
Basically, Blavatsky and her partner generously contributed to the modern status of the old succubus.
We note, this is important, that all the famous characters known to have cultivated a relationship with the Lilith egregore were occultists, magicians, witches, often using sex-magic and sometimes unfamous such as Aleister Crowley.
Am I not an occultist and magician? Sure, but I do not support bringing back, and cultivating archetypes that emphasize on darkness and animality. We need to make peace with the past and then leave it.
That is what the 2 last eclipses were and are about!!!
In the US, Lilith gained honors and recognition under the impulse of Gerarld Gardner, founder of the Wicca movement. I have not read his books. There was also a famous astrologer, a women; did not check if she worked with Lility;;;; probably because she employed Crowley as a ghostwriter.
In the internet universe, Lilith is still very much praised by such characters, whose videos and obsession with the Left Path I choose to avoid.
1884-1953 Dom Nerouman ou Pierre Maurice Rougié, a French astrologer is believed to have used the name Lilith for the dark space in the Moon orbit.
What is the difference between an angel and a demon? Its job, its focus; its relationships with the lower chakras and sex.
Lilith is a spirit of the night; she is not just free, she is obsessed with sex. She haunts men at night to tempt them. She is associated by astrologers with Priapus, the ithyphallic god…. Succubus are not angels… they are parasites; they have no brain.
Who do you want to be?
The emphasis on the Lilith character has emanated an egregore. From being a ‘class of spirits’ with succubus habits, we now have an archetype. REPEAT
Although, in the past, Lilith was not a goddess, she is now regarded as an important character, especially when she is associated with Samael, Poison of God, and similar to Satan. Lilith was not associated with Samael until the end of the 13th century. Samael is said to be the one who introduced the Tree of Knowledge in Eden.
Of course the positive aspect of this story is that women could or can associate with her to find strength, to find the courage to stand up for themselves.
IN THE CHART: Lilith give passion and intensity to the house or planet that she is touching. Check your chart. Look at the possible treason that you felt, in 3D or as a soul in regard to the house and sign in which BML is located. And you can google Lilith in the houses, or in the signs. If Lilith is conjunct your sun, your ascendant, an important point in your chart, you might want to consult with an astrologer or a spiritual mentor.
The structures of our world must change. “The 3D world is not the dominant force. The 3D world is only an image of the spiritual and astral planes. Psychic structures that do not access the light of consciousness have an organizing power over the external circumstances of our life and attract to themselves the events we need as so many magic mirrors revealing our deep nature (LB, p. 51).
A LITTLE BIT OF ASTRONOMY
Again, BML is not a planet. Like the lunar nodes, it is a location in space, a geometrical point in space-time.
The most traditional diagram supposed to show what the BM is
Most objects orbiting the Sun have an elliptical orbit, which means oval shaped, not round. The ellipse is not always the same, it can be more or less flat.
Objects in space respond to each other, accelerate, deviate because of gravity or curvature of space.
Same for the moon’s orbit around Earth. One idea is that the Moon “stabilizes’ the earth’s orbit” The Moon “collects the light from the Sun and reflects it back to us.” It is said to filter the impact of planets in the zodiac, so that we can deal with them; just like a mother (moon, cancer, mother) protects infants from the exterior world. THIS IS A QUOTE FROM LUC BIGE “The orbit of the moon defines a nourishing and protective space beyond which the human consciousness encounters only the enigmatic coldness of galactic spaces. The orbit of the moon protects behind the veil of the imagination the life of the personality in gestation on earth and the life of the spiritual spark.” Bige
The distance between moon and earth, on its orbit, varies throughout the month and year. One easy concept: the speed of the moon and thus its position on the orbit varies because of Earth tides. I will quote the BBC, very human average-friendly explanation:
“The migration of the Moon away from the Earth is mainly due to the action of the Earth’s tides.
The Moon is kept in orbit by the gravitational force that the Earth exerts on it, but the Moon also exerts a gravitational force on our planet and this causes the movement of the Earth’s oceans to form a tidal bulge.”[8]
Now, we need to rectify the shape of the elliptical orbit. This is more the reality.
Ellipses have 2 focal points. In the relationship Earth-Moon, Earth is one of the focal points. DARK Moon Lilith, also called Waltemath is the other.
DARK moon Lilith would be a secondary satellite to the Earth, eventually observed but which existence has not been proven yet.
Now, we will have the Apogee or Black moon Lilith, the farthest point reached by the moon orbiting Earth. Apogee, apo = distance – Gee from Gaia.
On the other side, the position where the moon is closest to the moon is called perigee. (peri = around; ge = earth).
Objects in space interfere with each other As the moon wobbles, jumps and retrogrades, its True position is difficult to locate. Astrologers can then use an average or mean position. This is why we have Mean Black Moon, and True Black Moon.
astrologers have their preferences, using often a combination of Dark and Black Moon.
I think that we can look at our response to the moon as a progression, internal movements of emotions, awareness that we experience throughout a moon cycle. As Lilith crosses the zodiac in about 9 years, it was in Libra from August 2015 to May 2016. What happened to your relationships, groups at this time?
Now, when Lilith comes back to its position in our natal chart, it has a stronger impact. A summary: dark, inner toxicity, demonic origins or at least primal; radical behavior and empowerment. Let’s still use Mercury to analyze and mitigate our reactions and our hearts moved by the spiritual Sun and the higher octave of our charts to embrace all aspects of self, others and the world around us.

Vatican and moon craters:
“Mention the words “Vatican” and “astronomy” in the same sentence and many of us think of Galileo on trial. Yet the Vatican itself has an observatory that is one of the oldest astronomical research institutions in the world. It has one of the world’s largest meteorite collections, established by a French nobleman of the 19th Century. Brother Guy Consolmagno is the curator of those meteorites. Pope Francis also appointed him the director of the Vatican Observatory in 2015. Father George Coyne was director when Brother Guy first came to work there. I spoke with them together in 2010 at the University of Arizona, where the Vatican Observatory has a research center.” https://onbeing.org/programs/guy-consolmagno-george-coyne-asteroids-stars-and-the-love-of-god/

It is a compilation of two lists of proverbs, 22 in Jewish Babylonian Aramaic and 22 in Mishnaic Hebrew, both arranged as alphabetic proverb is followed by a acrostics. Each Haggadic commentary.

Despite their gentleness and humor, I experience many of the female teachers as direct, sharply intelligent, radical, and courageous. What is a Dakini? — DAKINI POWER
