Revenge may be a dish best served cold, but starting March 27, get ready to order it for your main course: Black Moon Lilith is moving into Scorpio for nine months—and she’s digging up every receipt, timeline, and shred of proof she can find.
In astrology, Lilith represents our raw, unapologetic rage—the part of ourselves that refuses to submit to domination. Often referred to as the “Black Moon,” Lilith isn’t actually a planet or an asteroid. It’s a void in the sky, the midpoint in between the Earth and the lunar apogee (the moon’s farthest point from Earth in its orbit). Metaphorically, Lilith represents a shadowy aspect of ourselves, a place that can be uncomfortable and scary to explore.
In Jewish mythology, Lilith was Adam’s first wife, initially created as his equal, but later asked to submit to him. When she refused, Lilith was cast out of Eden, choosing exile over patriarchal domination. Although she has been demonized over the centuries, Lilith is a modern-day icon of rebellion, a woman who chose self-sovereignty and sexual liberation.
Astrologically speaking, Lilith spends nine months traveling through each sign of the zodiac before moving on to the next. As she does, she helps us give birth to new forms of empowerment. As Lilith circles back to vindictive, erotic, mystical Scorpio from March 27 to December 20, “hell hath no fury like a woman scorned” could become your new rallying cry.
We can look to Taylor Swift and Beyoncé for guidance, as both singers were both born with Black Moon Lilith in Scorpio. They’ve harnessed this energy to create some of the most iconic “revenge albums” in music history: Swift’s Reputation and Beyoncé’s Lemonade. Dripping with Scorpionic themes of betrayal, empowerment, and reclamation, these works have served as cultural resets.
The last time Lilith was in Scorpio was from May 2016 through February 2017—a period that not only covered President Donald Trump’s first election win, but also the January 2017 Women’s March, the largest single-day demonstration in the history of the United States, per The New York Times.
We probably won’t be knitting pink pussy hats this spring, but Lilith in Scorpio could inspire new actions. DEI initiatives, which can often offer opportunities to women, are under attack. Reproductive rights are being stripped away. As a result, women in the U.S. have been looking to South Korea’s 4B movement, which calls for a literal boycotting of men.
At the other end of the spectrum, Lilith in Scorpio could bring sexy back. (In this case, feel free to drape yourself in the goth-grunge-glam styles of Scorpio Rick Owens, a.k.a. The Lord of Darkness.) As conversations around sexual autonomy continue to evolve, this forthcoming cycle might push us deeper into exploring different types of pleasure. Discourse around kink and BDSM could become less taboo, inviting people to play with power dynamics in a way that involves consent and healthy boundaries.
On a personal level, finding Black Moon Lilith in your birth chart can help you harness this provocative form of self-empowerment. You can calculate your Lilith sign here (make sure to use “Mean Lilith”) to discover how to alchemize feelings of rejection and shame into your personal liberation.
