Black moon Lilith moved into Libra on June 29, 2024, after a full nine months in Virgo. All about the Lilith in Libra cycle, what it really means for you, your relationships and your own desires will be debriefed here. My apologies for sounding so tense, it’s quite hard to joke around when you’re undergoing a full Lilith transit.
I’m sure you get it. Lilits left Virgo on June 29, 2024, welcomed by Libra for a “brief” 9-month stint, until March 26, 2025. On the same day, Saturn, the planet of structure and restriction, slipped into its annual retrograde in Pisces, for five months. As you might have seen, the rest of 2024 is and continues to be nothing less than a reality bender.
First things first, we need to mention that Lilith is neither a planet nor an asteroid. It’s a point in the sky that falls between the Earth and the farthest part of the moon’s orbital path around the Earth. A void in the sky, if you like. Lilith is also a place of complete nothingness but also deep empowerment.
In mythology, Lilith was Adam’s first wife, who was rapidly banished from the Garden of Eden for her sexual desires. Our personal take on Lilith is that she’s the patriarchy’s nightmare, a woman who simply refuses to suppress or subvert herself. In other words, a hero.
The resurgence of feminism in the last decades made Lilith quite a hot topic in astrology, and we really couldn’t be happier. However, as women’s health and reproductive rights are constantly being taken away, Lilith is under fire.
Unrestricted, erotically empowered divine feminine energy has been seen as a threat to the patriarchal systems that hold power in the hands of people. There’s a good reason why Lilith is often associated with the righteous rage we feel when we’re either oppressed or shunned.
Lilith spends 9 months in every zodiac sign
As we wrapped up nine months of Lilith in Virgo, a very complex mutable earth sign, we already got somehow accustomed to it being in Libra. Lilith in Virgo came with very solid ideas, systems, and organizations. Moreover, it stirred up anxiety, perfectionism, and a whole host of neurotic issues.
You might have tried to quiet yourself internally during its transit in Virgo, with no external oppressor on the horizon. People weren’t too keen to rush into relationships during Lilith in Virgo, either. Naturally, some people are doing just fine in that area.
However, the trend for most people was to state that they don’t have enough space for a relationship. More people placed less emphasis on relationships as a source of happiness, and many realized they like to be by themselves.
A huge part of it could be attributed to the fact almost no one can really live up to our standards as Lilith is in Virgo. This transit also made us quiet flaw-finders, both of ourselves and of others. Just an example: if you are familiarised with the trad wife (traditional wife) revolution on social media, well, that screams Lilith in Virgo.
It’s the controlled duality of the Virgin (Virgo’s symbol) and controlled sexuality as an archetype. Reproductive rights have been a huge topic in the United States, which unfortunately worsened during Lilith in Virgo.
Are we ready for Lilith in Libra?
Lilith is this wild, mystical, and sexual creature. Sure, while it was in Virgo, it was more of a mind-bender. However, now we need to ask ourselves where do we go from here. Lilith in Libra (the cardinal air sign) will ask us (more like, force us) to confront all the injustices lingering around gender inequality. The next months left of this transit might find people actually wanting to work on their relationships again.
I mean, let’s be honest: Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck put the Beverly Hills house for sale, got divorced, and now they’ve been spotted kissing again. It doesn’t get more Lilith in Libra than this, honestly. But this could also bring an interesting cosmic plot twist that sends them to the Room and Board coach of a Hollywood couple’s therapist. After they’re done smooching, of course. Priorities, d’uh!
Lilith in Libra can change your love life in a heartbeat
Don’t believe me? You can always think of JLo and Ben Affleck. As for your own love life, just ask yourself: Where do I feel an outsider in my own relationships? Where am I not bringing my best and whole self to my relationships?
Where am I not empowering myself inside of my partnerships? Well, Lilith in Virgo might have had you sniping and complaining about everything. But this time around, you will suddenly feel the need to negotiate, which makes it a much more empowered place for Lilith.
Lilith in Libra dates and predictions
Lilith in Libra started on June 29, 2024, and will stay there until March 26, 2025. This will give you a full nine months to work with this placement’s harmonizing strengths. In the end, Lilith is the symbol of empowerment against all odds.
On a global scale, we predict future movements focused on gender equality, or at least sudden rage against gender inequality. There might be another worldwide revolution for women coming, and luckily, it will be a prosperous one.
As we’re getting closer to the elections, we need to remind everyone that reproductive rights have been under assault in the United States for some time now. The fight for them has been much quieter than it will be by the end of this transit.
Lilith will go into Scorpio at the end of March 2025. Scorpio is the sign that rules our reproductive organs. If we’re dealing with harmful rules, the rage will definitely explode next year around that time with Scorpio’s influence.
But it’s also worth noting that Libra is a sign of peace: for people who fight for peace, there might be a surge that comes up. With the Black Moon in Libra, it can also be about the global fight for peace.
People born in the 1970s will have the Black Moon cross over Pluto and Uranus (in Libra) in their chart
For these people, some big and difficult emotions about relationships might get provoked. Gen Xers who might have been unconsciously uncoupling or finding new and fresher relationship models might suddenly feel the desire to try polyamory or open relationships.
It’s worth mentioning that they will bring these arrangements into the open, much like the topic of menopause managed to get out of the shame closet (thank God!) It’s also worth noting that the last three Lilith cycles were in zodiac signs with the main focus on our bodies: Virgo (ruler of health), Leo (fertility), and Cancer (motherhood). Lilith, in these signs over the past two years, also laid the groundwork to stop feeling ashamed of our bodies.
People born in 1980 and 1981
If you were born in the early 80s, you might have Jupiter and Saturn in Libra. This basically means that Lilith will transit over those natal points and shake up the structures in your life (at least some of them).
This could affect everything, from your work to the way you relate to your partnerships. It can also inspire you to bring more beauty and harmony to your office. After all, sharing is caring, right?
