Black Moon Lilith – elusive and ill defined – Astroinform with Marjorie Orr 2025
Black Moon Lilith represents the wild feminine that does not want to be tamed and in mythology was cast out of paradise. It ‘represents the untame-able, feral spirit of those who’ve been exiled from dominant social structures. The outsiders, the outcasts, and the marginalized who flourish in our culture’s figurative underground. The people who refuse to sand down their sharper edges or submit to systems of supremacy — even when that defiance comes at a cost. Lilith is at home in the stories that have been silenced, the redacted parts of the text, and the facets of life that we suppress. Lilith is as ungovernable as the dirt, the shadows, and the wild Earth itself.’
What is confusing (!) is that Black Moon is not a planet and can mean several things. It is a symbolic, bodiless point in our skies.
It is best identified in a personal chart via the free calculator which gives four different placings.

It gives the Mean and the True Lilith which can be at different degrees as well as the Asteroid Lilith and Waldemath Dark Moon.
Marilyn Monroe is most often mentioned in relation to Lilith – 1 June 1926 9.30 am Los Angeles, California – though I am not sure she represents the anti-patriarchal streak associated with the concept.
Her True Lilith Black Moon is conjunct her Ascendant and the Asteroid Lilith is in her 10th. (That curious four pronged fork on my software).
Germaine Greer has her True Lilith in her 1st and Mean Lilith in her 12th also in Aquarius. But neither Betty Friedan or Gloria Steinem have much of note.
It all seems too confused to be a point (whichever) I would use as a guide. But all comments welcome.
