Lilith, 1892, by John Collier
Venus squares Pluto this Friday, but building now – already a perfectly sexy & heated troublesome little power-trippy sexual politiking of an aspect, no? But it’s complicated by Dark Moon Lilith also being conjunct Pluto this week. The mythological Lilith was demonised (literally) by the Christians. Yonks ago she was a Babylonian Snake Goddess & then she winds up as Adam’s First Wife & then the Snake in the Garden of Eden. Etc.
The astrological Lilith is interpreted differently by various peeps. I love this quote – in Astrodienst’s Astro-Wiki – from a Kocku Von Struckard:
” Lilith embodies the presence of an archaic form of feminine strength that ignores any patriarchal discourse of power and dominance and allies itself with those forces that affirm life itself.”
People used to say Lilith in your chart was where you were a difficult ‘bitch’ who had probs aligning herself to societal standards. Others say it’s where you’re fabulous & wild, women running with the wolves et al. I have phases where I track & analyze Lilith a lot. Usually when I’m on a Wiccan sort of a jag. I do think Lilith is fascinating in synastry: If your Lilith is strongly placed on someone’s Moon/Venus, he/she projects an awful lot onto you. You could look at a man (heterosexual) and his Moon-Venus-Lilith placements & be able to neatly delineate any Madonna-Whore complexes. Maybe not over dinner out or even to his face.
Anyway, with Lilith/Pluto being squared by Venus this week, there is a lot of sexual power undertow to all relationships. Covert or not. And feminine anger too. I mean, Venus is in Aries…remember.
