May you live out all of your bedroom adventures …

Lilith plays an influential role in ancient occultism, so essential that she has numerous tales. Her outward persona depicts a long-haired demon seductress who calls upon men during witching hour to attend to their sexual arousal. Others have interpreted her as a woman who consumes the blood of newborn babies.

As such, she’s been dubbed “the first vampire to wander the Earth.” This dark, seductive and mysterious goddess symbolizes lust and carnal desire, epitomizing all things “taboo.”

But from the navel down, she is a flame of fire, in every sense of the word. The most common yet intriguing myth stems from Jewish folklore depicting Lilith as Adam’s first wife. The two souls rose from Earth’s ashes. Lilith assumed equality with Adam and therefore refused to lie beneath him during lovemaking. When Adam refused to be subservient to such desires, Lilith angrily departed from the Garden of Eden. Her departure commences the story of the universally recognized Christian myth Adam and Eve, where Eve was created from Adam’s ribs.

Many other interpretations portray Lilith as a “female demon” who appears in men’s rooms at night.

Her story involves accusations of exploitation to suit the Lululemon spiritual agenda and incorrectly quoted.

In the same way, her energy is that of disruption. She is the sexuality that women are expected to hide and the anger that is told to keep in control in public settings. Modern-day energic remedies depict Lilith as representations for Women’s Rights and even #MeToo.

Overall, she is definitely a famous mythical creature as her appearance, stories, and adaptations are too numerous to count.

In modern-day occultism — with attention to astrology — Lilith has survived many of the harsh interpretations. Western astrologers syncretize Lilith as a goddess representing a person’s primitive sexual impulses and behavior in the rawest form.

She uncovers repressed sexuality, hidden desires, fantasies, fetishes, and the dark side of one’s personality, buried deep in our psyche’s subconscious realms. Depicting her as deeply misunderstood, mysterious, and cryptic.

If you are new to astrology, Lilith’s representation may be seemingly confusing you as you may be accustomed to “I’m a Scorpio, or I’m a Gemini.” or, just simply disregard the entire science. However, that zodiac understanding is known as our Sun Signs. Yes, a fundamental aspect of our astrological fingerprint but only scratches the very surface of our occultic blueprint.

Note: I encourage any and everyone to probe deeper into astrology. As it may not be for everyone and could be quite complicated, the knowledge gained and extract is profound and broadening.

Going back to Lilith in astrology, you may find your personal connection with her as you dive deeper into the occult science.

You will notice that Lilith is not a sign or a planet for people that may study astrology. She is a mathematical point located between the Earth and the Lunar apogee, a dark cosmic void.

In one’s astrological birth chart, the sign and house show how Lilith’s seductive, dark, mysterious, and even karmic energy would manifest.

Here are general interpretations of Lilith through the different astrological signs. As aforementioned, one needs to consult their astrological birth chart to find their personal Lilith placement. To find your birth chart, you may wish to visit Astrotheme.com.
