The Astrological Interpretation of the Black Moon, The Lilith Moon

“During my years of astrological practice, I have come to use the Dark Moon in all my chart analyses, as a complement to interpretating the Moon. It would never occur to me to neglect this influence. The Dark Moon describes our relationship to the absolute, to sacrifice as such, and shows how we let go. In transit, the Dark Moon indicates some form of castration or frustration, frequently in the areas of desire, a powerlessness of the psyche, or a general inhibition. On the other hand, it shows where we question ourselves, our lives, our jobs, and our beliefs. I feel this is important, since it gives us the opportunity to “let go” of something. The Dark Moon shows where we can let the Whole flow into our selves, without putting an “I” in the way, without putting up a wall in the form of ego. At the same time, it doesn’t indicate passivity – on the contrary – it symbolizes the firm will to be open and trusting, to let the Greater World flow through one, relying entirely on the great laws of the universe, on that which we name God. To prepare us for this opening, the Dark Moon creates a necessary

Burney Relief, Babylon (1800-1750 BCE). The figure in the relief was sometimes identified with Lilith, based on a misreading of an outdated translation of the Epic of Gilgamesh. Modern research has identified the figure as either Ishtar or Ereshkigal. ~ Wikipedia – click the image to read more about Lilith

could timing of false flag event be coordinated to the black moon expecting an increase in power? the day after particularly looks powerful.

Jewish mythology however puts Lilith into the darker realms of evil and magik. She is seen as an evil Demon of the night. As Christianity takes hold, she becomes a fitting mate for Satan, lying in wait for men and killing children.

Even in the Dead Sea Scrolls she is mentioned as a demon who falls “upon men without warning to lead them astray from a spirit of understanding”. In Greco-Roman mythology she is associated with the Greek Lamia, who governed a class of child stealing lamia-demons.

It’s probably from these dark versions of Lilith that she became associated with the darkness of the New Moon and how “Lilith” becomes associated with that dark phase in Astrology. But because she is the second Goddess (second to the Goddess Earth or the second Divine Mother Mary perhaps), she becomes associated with the second new moon of a month…….

……History Of The Black Moon

Like many things dealing with the moon, its name comes from both astrological and pagan origins dating back to pre-historic times. Which came first is a question that will always hold debate. Many believe it’s rooted in pagan observances of the Grand Mother Moon. Some say it’s Celtic, but we know the Celts were highly influenced by the Norse, so some attribute the name to Germanic cultures, but research doesn’t play out for either of these. Others say it came by way of Rome and Greece, which may seem more likely. Others say it’s none of these at all and first acquired its name in the Middle East where lunar calendars are still revered today in Muslim observances and the practice of Astrology in ancient Egypt.

Many astrological views of the heavens began in pagan cultures, such as early Egypt and Greece and thus the Black Moon becomes associated with Pagan origins. Today much has been written on the view of Astrology by Christian scholars who still viewed this study of the stars as a science. Consequently the Moon can be seen as a favorable aspect when it’s full and out of favor when she’s dark, hidden and presumably evil. Some Astrologists associate this dark aspect of the moon with the earliest known Goddess of Phrygian: Matar Kubileya who is later adapted by the Greeks as Cybele? And who some say are the initial origins of the concept of Lilith from Abrahamic cultures.

To understand this, let’s go far back in time to the pre-historic era, when Mother Earth was the Great Goddess. When most cultures were based in a Matriarchal society. Women were the embodiment of the Goddess here on Earth because of their ability to create life. And like Mother Earth who brings forth Life, women were placed on a pedestal and honored for their fertility as Maiden and Mother, then for her wisdom as the wise old Crone.

Early Occultists like Aleister Crowley, Charles Leland and Gerald Gardner, all hold high praise for the “First Mother”. Charles Leland associated Aradia with Lilith: Aradia, says Leland, is Herodias, who was regarded in stregheria folklore as being associated with Diana as chief of the witches. Leland further notes that Herodias is a name that comes from West Asia, where it denoted an early form of Lilith. ~ Wikipedia

As time progressed so did the position of a woman, no one disputes this actually. Many scholars explain that as the understanding of how reproduction actually worked, the creation attributed to women loses it’s magik and the contribution of men becomes elevated, to the extreme unfortunately. When this occurred, women lost all power in the community and the shift of governance moved from Matriarch to Patriarch societies…….

This is primarily to focus the time on the Goddess aspect of the Divine spirit. The day before the peak is honored for the young Maiden, the peak is observed for the Mother who brings new things to life. And the final day after the peak is given to the wise Old Crown and the wisdom of the Divine spirit is honored…………

Kramer's translation of the Gilgamesh fragment was used by Henri Frankfort (1937)[22] and Emil Kraeling (1937)[23] to support identification of a woman with wings and bird-feet in the Burney Relief as related to Lilith, but this has been rejected by later sources, including the British Museum, which is in current possession of the piece. The terracotta plaque depicts a beautiful, naked goddess-like sylph with bird-like features who stands atop two lions and between two owls. Although once believed to be the actual image of Lilith, it is now thought to possibly represent Inanna, the Sumerian goddess of love, fertility, beauty, war, and sexual desire. The depiction of the nocturnal and predatory owls, however, have led many to believe the relief is an affirmation of Lilith's role as a demon who flies about the underworld, delivering night terrors to those who sleep.
