Lilith

Lilith (the lunar apogee, the Moon's farthest point from Earth) represents the shadow self, the parts of a person that society asks them to repress or hide. Lilith is raw, untamed, and unapologetically wild. She's sexuality, anger, the refusal to comply with others' expectations, and the parts that don't fit the good-girl/good-boy mold. Lilith's placement shows where a person rebels, where they refuse to be domesticated, and where they hold erotic or transgressive power. She's often portrayed as dangerous, but she's really just the truth of authentic desire and the refusal to be less than oneself for anyone else's comfort. When retrograde, Lilith suggests that the shadow and the wildness are internalized. The rebellion may stay quiet, the sexuality private, or the anger turned inward. Retrograde Lilith often calls for conscious work to reclaim that power and give voice to what's been silenced.
