Lilith is not an actual celestial object. It is the furthest point the Moon reaches from the Earth on its path around it.
This point is also called the Moon’s apogee or the Black Moon Lilith in astrology.
Lilith is often considered in astrology analysis, especially in relationship analysis because it reveals our sexual desires and uncontrollable urges.
It shows how free we feel to express our desires and also indicates situations where we feel we cannot control ourselves and feel inspired to break society’s rules and norms.
When we are under Lilith’s influence we often feel as if we are possessed, and we cannot resist giving in to our urges.
Lilith is especially significant when it touches a planet in another person’s horoscope or vice versa.
These relationships, where two people have aspects between their Lilith and other planets in their natal charts, are usually sexually charged and there is an irresistible attraction between them that cannot be controlled.
