The Black Moon Lilith and Saturn - by Anita Burns
Where Lilith is found shows the area of life where it is wise to take a
meta-stance (depersonalize) and learn to lighten seriousness and
adherence to rules.
Lilith brings a struggle for perfection that pairs with Saturn's need
for structure and boundaries. The two pair very well. But in stressful
aspects with Saturn, she can bring conflicting emotions and a super
drive for purity.
Whenever Saturn and Lilith are combined there is a drive for inner
clarity but obstacles in the way of getting it. There is a struggle to
bring into the light, our shadow self. When lifestyle or choices make
this difficult, depression can be the result.

Whenever
Saturn and Lilith are combined there is a drive for inner clarity but
obstacles in the way of getting it. There is a struggle to bring into
the light, our shadow self. When lifestyle or choices make this
difficult, depression can be the result.
But even with all
these difficulties, a combination of Saturn and Lilith bring depth,
wisdom, and intense intelligence with sharp wit.
With aspects
between Lilith and Saturn, nothing is believed or accepted without a
touch of skepticism. On the positive side, you aren't fooled very
often, on the challenging side, you look for ways in which things
aren't true or how you are being fooled. This can distort facts and
hinder progress through needlessly searching for "what is wrong here"
when there is nothing to be found.
When Lilith is in a fire sign
or fire sign ruled house, you can be a constant worrier with an ongoing
pessimistic attitude. Fire and Lilith/Saturn creates a need to be
involved in life's trauma-drama and stay stuck in the shadow self.
Lilith in the fire sign brings a stronger reaction than being in a fire
ruled house.
In water signs or water ruled houses (sign is
stronger than house), pessimism is rampant with a touch of
defensiveness. If Saturn is in an earth sign, aggressive defensiveness
rules. If Saturn is in a water sign, you may often think of suicide.
In
air signs or air ruled houses (sign is stronger than house), details
and endless systems and organization are the challenges. There is often
such clear perception that the spirit or soul of any creative project
gets lost in a maze of sterility and detail.
Wherever Lilith
lands, if it is in aspect with Saturn, there is an underlying brooding
and seriousness in whatever matters the house and sign rule.
Lilith,
in past life, karmic astrology is about detachment. Whatever we have
formed strong attachments to in past lives that hold us back from
spiritual progress, must be detached from and experienced in universal
light. Lilith brings these things to a point of such discomfort that we
can no longer ignore them. It is depersonalize or continue to
experience Lilith's intensity.
Look to house, sign, and hard
aspects for the nature of Lilith's tough love. Any tie in with the
Moon's nodes, 8th, and/or 12th houses are clear signposts for what
Lilith is trying to tell us to let go of.
For example, Lilith in
Leo in the 1st house conjunct Mars in Leo in the 12th could show a past
life of fame that led to such ego involvement that you began to believe
you were above the rest. It could indicate such an attachment to fame
and recognition that nothing else mattered. In this life, you might
year for fame but it brings you only misery or that fame is ever a
breath away but never comes into reality. Detach and fame can come in a
healthy, productive way.
Lilith, Adam's first wife, has much to
tell us about ourselves, our past, and how to construct a productive,
spiritually evolving present and future. Look at it carefully and
discover much about yourself.
