Yay, its Leo season.
I have Leo rising and always love this time of year.
Now lucky for us, Leo does not shy away from danger and loves to bring light to the darkness, being the sign of the lion and ruled by the sun.
Hence this month we dare to look at the theme of Lilith, or in astrology, the point called Black Moon Lilith.
The Myth of Lilith
This is the story of Adam’s first wife.
The patriarchal doctrines of the time were so unimpressed with the wild, Lilith that she was written out of the bible in subsequent translations.
When she does show up it is as the scorned ex-wife…here is herstory rather than history.
It was said that God made both Adam and Lilith from the earth but used only ‘impure’ sediments to make Lilith (who knew there was such a thing as impure earth at the point of creation).
The Bible then states that God told Lilith she was only allowed to lie beneath Adam during sex.
Lilith, quite understandably, was not prepared to be stuck in a submissive role. I mean how would you feel about that.
According to the Talmudic legend Lilith flew away to the desert to lament the diminishment of the moon and feminine power.
In the desert she started a healing journey.
The Bible reports that she had sexual encounters with both incubi and succubi.
These are both masculine and feminine nature spirits.
This period of self-discovery and reconnection with nature culminated in Lilith becoming a shaman who could shape shift into a snake, a symbol of her ability to transform herself by shedding her old skin at will.
Lilith empowered by this inner awakening went back to see if Adam had undergone a similar process in her absence. If so, they would be able to enter into a Sacred Marriage.
Unfortunately, on her return she had been replaced by Eve, who was prepared to lie beneath Adam, suppressing her own power and deferring to him in all matters.
She was said to have been created from one of Adams left ribs.
The Judaic belief was that it was unnatural that Eve was not created from the Earth Mother, but rather from Adams mindset of the ‘ideal woman’.
And not being like Lilith who was created to be his true opposite and equal partner.
Now Lilith our wild and wise shaman foresaw that the daughters of Eve would surely follow Eve’s example for years to come and this troubled Lilith deeply.
Lilith transformed into a serpent (symbolizing the healer) and tempted Eve to taste the fruit from the tree of knowledge. The patriarchal deity had forbidden this.
Once Eve tasted knowledge (the apple) she wanted to share that with her husband and encouraged Adam to taste the wisdom too.
The price they paid for this higher wisdom was banishment from the garden of Eden and condemnation to a life of toil, hardship and death.
The punishment for Lilith was, the serpent (transformational healing through deep insight) becoming the perceived enemy of humankind.
We, by changing the story begin to break those chains, freeing the inner serpent, our Kundalini energy to rise and allowing sons and daughters of Adam and Eve to at last begin to heal.
By working to heal these deeply ingrained ancestral patterns we are working to heal 7 generations past and future…this is an amazing thought. That equates to just over 200 years in either direction.
The work you do here is so vital for you, your living family but also you long dead ancestors and your future ones too.
To give you some interesting extra insight most ancient cultures had gods and goddesses that, though going by a different name and having personas of their own, were basically representations of the same archetypal energy.
The similar deity to Lilith from some of the other cultures would be; Oya (African storm goddess of change), Sekmet (Egyptian goddess who often aggressively destroyed what was no longer healthy), Pele (Polynesian wild volcanic goddess), Kali (Hindu goddess who slayed demons and faced fears) to name a few.
Harnessing Black Moon Lilith…
Black Moon Lilith (BML) is not actually a thing in space, but rather a point on the moons orbit. We might call her the moon’s shadow.
Lilith is the shadow side of the moon.
Moon is caring, nurturing and sensitive.
Lilith wants what she wants, she is about power, sexual liberation, and equality.
As you can see from the myth of Lilith this is a powerful and darker side of the feminine.
It is this darker side of the feminine archetype (in both men and women) that was stamped out by the patriarchy hundreds of years ago.
May I say, I am a lover of men and when I say patriarchy, I am speaking to the shifting powers that happened over centuries to society.
It was not just women who suffered, but all those in the lives of a woman and to the feminine aspect in every man.
And over centuries the indoctrinations began to settle in our cells.
For the better part of a century now we have been slowly redressing the balance.
I am hoping we reach a point of honouring the sacred masculine and divine feminine parts in ourselves, in others and in society.
As for your BML placement in your natal astrology chart, this will have a slightly different impact for men and women.
Women will find a key understanding in unlocking their feminine power but must also recognize it can access some of the darker and more difficult parts of our nature.
Like Pandora’s box, don’t open it if you are not prepared to work with your dark nature.
We all have one and learning to integrate it is super powerful, but intense too. You decide when you are ready.
Men with strong BML in their chart will bring up his relationships to women, who he attracts, his unresolved issues around power and control especially around women.
What attracts him and what scares him most around women and the unresolved parts of himself.
With regards to all the traits we have discussed, look for the sign (how) and house placement (where) to see how Lilith influences you.
It is important to see if you have hard aspects with BML to other planets in your chart, as this makes her influence stronger.
Also if you have strong aspects within your intimate relationship/s with one another’s BML we are taking complex and obsessive attractions.

Astrology Buzz
Leo Jul 23rd to Aug 23rd I do hope you are keeping your heart open and sharing your light, love and joy with the world. This is a very Leo way of being. You may also find it a good time to focus on I/me/mine things, just check in that it is not in a harsh ego kind of way but rather an ‘I need to be healthy and full to share my heartfelt energy wisely’ way.
Virgo Aug 24th to Sep 23rd mutable Virgo tells us the season will be shifting soon. We begin to stretch and yawn from hibernation and sense the new birth of Spring (in the South). For the north there is a drop in the heat and energy, a gentle reminder the season to gather wood and harvest is imminent. Organising and clearing space is great in Virgo season.

This is a super rare occurrence, which I discussed on Instagram, see the link below.

Full Moon
August full moon is in Aquarius on the 12th opposing the Sun in Leo.
Hold onto your hats, we have a big old T Square in this Full Moon.
One thing is for sure, we are not being allowed to rest on our laurels at this point of time.
The push to revolutionize personally and collectively it real.
The pressure cooker situation is impossible to ignore, we are all being made so uncomfortable in various areas of our life that we have no choice but to change.
This is made easier for us when we choose change, or surrender to it. For change is inevitable.
Physically for Aquarius and Leo, calves, ankles, achilleas, blood pressure, circulation, heart, spinal column.
Questions are tailored to the exact planetary alignment over this Full Moon.
They will be most potent if started over the 3 days of Full moon 11th, 12th, 13th, there is never a wrong time to reflect however, all is in divine timing.
Questions you may ask yourself in Leo/Aquarius axis, will be sent out later this month, closer to the Full Moon
Crystal for Black Moon Lilith
Garnet is my Lilith crystal.
It is the affordable substitute for Ruby.
I know, I know, Lilith would prefer the real deal, and if you have rubies wear them, but if not, Garnet really is a fabulous alternative.
Garnet is passionate, honest to a fault (like our dear Lilith) and attracts abundance.
Physically it is extremely regenerative, working on heart and blood as well as spine, cells, immunity and more.
Supports healthy vitality in our blood, which represents joy in our body. Clearing repressed sexual energy so we maintain that healthy life force.
I hope to see you all dripping in garnets and rubies
Disclaimer: crystals should not be used as cures but rather as support.

Aroma of the month
Neroli is my oil for the Lilith archetype.
Neroli is made from citrus blossoms and 1 ton of blossoms only produces 1kg of oil.
Hence this is a very precious, expensive and luxuriant oil.
Lilith after all knows her worth and owns her power and potency.
This oil works with our blocked Lilith by way of it uses with frigidity, impotence and loss of libido, hormonal imbalance, eczema, rashes, overthinking, overwhelm, depression and aging.
It is also useful for the Leo/Aquarius axis with it’s support for heart palpitations, high blood pressure and grief.
On the whole if your Lilith energy is hysterically trying to get your attention, Neroli oil is calming, rejuvenating and arousing.
When our Kundalini energy is low, we begin to dry up, age and sag.
Kundalini is part of Lilith’s gift to us, and Neroli oil will gently and sensually assist in waking it up.
