Greetings, dear Wild & Free Beings!
How has your LILITH in VIRGO initiation been thus far?!
LILITH, asteroid representative of the ‘Wild Woman’ Archetype.
And: of our True, ‘Wild’ Nature that’s always unconditionally FREE & unbound, has shifted signs (which happens every 9 months)…
After a wildly sovereign & creative flight in LEO, since Jan 8 (which also saw an exceptional amout of wildfires, and perhaps the wildest fiery scenario of them all, right in the middle of LEO, on 08/08 on Maui)…
LILITH entered self-sufficient, practical, rational VIRGO, on Oct 4.
She’ll be fully activated w. the ‘Ring of Fire’ Annular Solar Eclipse, on Oct 14 (stay tuned for Eclipse post to follow) – which you can also see in the LILITH Transits section below.
In MERCURY ruled VIRGO, LILITH will be more subdued and less fierce / outwardly expressive than in Solar LEO. She has a crafty-witchy side to her, helping us to hone our skills / sharpen our tools – and / or we figure out which tricks have been played on us.
LILITH has a 9-Year Cycle through the Zodiac
She hasn’t been in VIRGO since Nov 2014 – Aug 2015.
A review of the last 9 years might be quite helpful to reveal your LILITH Evolution.
She returns to the same energy in our birth chart every approx. 9 years.
I.o.w., round ages 9, 18, 27, 36, 45, 54, 63, 72, 81, and 90, we have our LILITH Return.
Are you turning one of these ages?
Your LILITH might be in VIRGO – you have your LILITH Return this year!
An important re-initiation to find your ‘Wild, Unconditioned Self’.
Would be great to do a Ceremony (so VIRGO!), honouring this transition, and re-connect to previous LILITH Returns in Life.
She Travels 9 Months in a Zodiac Sign – Her VIR Themes
A ‘pregnancy phase’ to cultivate intrinsic qualities of that Zodiac energy, via our True, Free, unconditioned Nature.
And, She never goes retro(!).
Over the next 9 months, it’s time to re-claim our Inner unconditioned Wild, in Her self-aware & self sufficient ways of being a pure expression of the Sacred Self in integrity.
“It’s MY Life / Health / Wellness.
This is what works for me.”
“This is how I work.”
“I perform ceremonies to honour and celebrate alignment with the laws of Nature.”
“I’m whole and complete as I AM.”
“I don’t need anything to enhance my intrinsic identity (partnership, position, status symbols, group affiliations…).”
“I’m aligned with my Higher Self & with my cosmic / divine assignment.”
“I dedicate my life to being in service to – just that.”
In contrast to conditioned VIRGO expressions, like:
“Am I good / perfect enough?” / “And what do I need to do about that?”
I bet we’ll see perfectionism, virture signalling (due to a sense of inadequacy) called out more & more over the next months.
To many of you LILITH requires no intro.
But it could be still good to recap:
LILITH – Archetype of the WILD ONE
Our Instinctual & Unconditioned Nature
(might represent Ereshkigal – yet full of Lilith symbolism)
Symbols and ‘insignia’ of LILITH:
Her Wings
Freedom to take flight.
The Owl
Connection of the Feminine with Mystery and Magic.
The LIONS
Strength and Power.
LILITH the ‘Wild Woman’ Archetype often shows up as half woman, half (power) animal, represents the inner Feminine (Anima) who cannot be defined or confined by societal expectations of what a woman is ‘supposed to be’ (attractive in her VENUSian side, nurturing mother in a MOON Archetype sense).
Now, what’s even with a difference between sex and gender?
Fierce & hot discussions and actions were ON this year, with LILITH in LEO already. What’s next?!
LILITH has been scorned as ‘bitch’ or ‘witch’.
Her power is feared by those who want the feminine to be ‘safe’ and ‘nice’ – subordinated to the consensus agenda / ‘matrix’ – rather than being powerfully allied & aligned with Nature.
She definitely doesn’t like to be kept ‘small’, subservient, or ‘boxed-in’.
She asserts her intrinsic integrity – or stays single, esp. when in VIR.
Wholeness requires the integration of LILITH into the ‘trinity’ with VENUS and the MOON.
The predominant Judaeo-Christian patriarchy separated the deemed ‘good’ (MOON & VENUS) and ‘bad’ (LILITH) = uncontrollable sides of the feminine, and suppressed Goddess worship – the female energy as the basis of life.
Yet, the ‘Old Empires’ expire – as indicated by PLUTO leaving CAP – which becomes more real in 2024, while LILITH will be in VIR and LIBRA.
LILITH is indomitable & undomesticable.
She’d rather be in ‘exile’, in ‘the wilderness’, in Nature, than subjugated by a patriarchy-dominated culture that splits the ‘dark’ sides off, or doesn’t let Her be free to be true to Her Nature.
LILITH cuts through, and exposes power based relationships.
In VIRGO, for personal integrity, health / wellness, and sanity’s sake.
The inner LILITH in our charts shows in which areas we can most easily connect with our primal nature, in what ways that ‘raw beast’ needs to be acknowledged, and (in VIR) how we can use our instinctual power in helpful & discerning ways.
On a deeper level, the ‘Inner Wild’ takes us to our always ‘wild & free’ unconditioned Nature, the True Self.
LILITH in VIRGO invites us to uncover the layers of conditioning around what we’re (supposed to) do ‘for a living’, lifestyle, how we serve, to find our true Self-in-Service underneath.
A well integrated LILITH brings us closer to our ‘animal instincts’, gut intelligence, natural way of instinctively ‘smelling’ a situation, and eventually: To being true to who we really are.
Unconscious LILITH in VIR:
Neurotic, bitchy, fault finding.
Conscious LILITH in VIR:
Transformative, healing, shamanic, often shows up in midlife, prompted by instinctual desire for living the True Self and helping others in natural ways.
Crossroads / initiations, specifically in feminine life (which is very VIR / very LILITH) where LILITH shows up and needs to be acknowledged:
Puberty, childbearing, menopause.
Pre-menstrual phases can be very LILITH-like.
LILITH transitions or life style choices are up when we decide to leave a relationship, a work place, or any position that threatens to suffocate or humiliate our naturally strong feminine spirit & integrity, and we choose freedom (with the price tag attached).
LILITH is with us, when we raise our children as single moms, choose not to be a mom, choose not to entertain a ‘conventional’ relationship, when we decide to live in accordance with nature, rather than in an alienating culture that suppresses Spirit.
A book that masterfully captures the LILITH Archetype and her stories is the well-known Women Who Run with the Wolves, by Clarissa Pinkola Estes.
LILITH in Arts & Culture
Goddess Remembered – video series
King Kong – movie
Thelma and Louise – movie
Bandit Queen – movie
Angel-a – film by Luc Besson

And lately in society, the fierce gender debate.
LILITH Rules – Nature-ally.
In LEO and beyond…
General Questions for LILITH
* Where do you have access to your natural, instinctual, unconditioned side, and how does it show up?
* How do you take flight into the wilderness?
* What’s your self chosen exile?
* Where does the ‘raw beast’ in you need to be acknowledged?
* What’s with your unrelatedness to society and its institutions?
* When away from the patriarchal or other restrictive systems, what comes up for you?
* How do you experience the Wild & Free Spirit in relationship?
* What’s with sex and rage, and sex and the inner animal / beast?
* What’s your Power Animal?
* What have been your LILITH transitions in life?
* What does your gut intelligence tell you these days?
LILITH in your chart shows
…where you need to be in tune with YOUR natural power,
…which areas of life trigger that (money, children, relationships, travel, career…),
…and in what way (LILITH’s sign, and Her aspects to other planets).
LILITH in LEO Review –
Unconditioned Love, Sovereignty, and Creativity
Even though, LILITH never(!) goes back / retro…
…I find it worthwhile reviewing, acknowledging, honouring the last 9-month phase, of LILITH in LEO, to help with integration, in transition to where we’re at now.
From Jan – Sept 2023, you probably noticed Her influence in the fields of life corresponding with LEO in your chart.
If you have your SUN, MOON, Planets, AC, MC, or the Lunar Nodes in LEO, what has the LILITH activation shown you about living life lovingly, in free and fierce ways?
If you have your SUN, MOON, Planets, AC, MC, or the Lunar Nodes in the other fixed signs TAU, SCO, and AQ, LILITH would have charged these Archetypes up, maybe in a challenging way at first – but only for a freer new version of YOU resulting from the process.
What brings us always back to our Inner & Intrinsic warm & generous, loving & creative Self, in this heavily institutionalized / established, yet transforming (PLUTO at the end of CAP) world where connections are lacking / challenging challenging (SATURN in PI)?
LILITH in LEO Questions in Review:
* Did you feel like a caged animal?
* Did your free expression feel trapped?
* What in you called to be truly, unconditionally seen and loved – by YOU?
* Did you hear the Call of the Wild?
* Hope you roared as needed.
* What’s with your Sovereignty, and Creativity?
* What has ‘Showing Your True Colours’ meant to you?
* How did you find your Strong Inner ‘Wild and Free’ Nature?
LILITH Transitioning into VIRGO
photo by moi, Nov 2010 – timelessly…
LILITH crossed the ‘Sphinx Point’ from LEO to VIRGO on Oct 4.
VENUS entering VIRGO on Oct 9 will, together w. the MOON (!) connect w. LILITH on Oct 10.
What a trinity of Goddesses!
The ‘Ring of Fire’ Annular Solar Eclipse on Oct 14 will fully catalyze LILITH into VIRGO.
LILITH in VIRGO (Oct 4 – June 29) Transits
While in VIRGO, LILITH will make various contacts with other Planetary Archetypes that affect us all, esp. if LILITH and the other cosmic players come in contact with our own cosmic markers and their themes.
The energy will be activated about a week before, and still linger some days after the exact alignment.
Integration of its effects can take longer, of course, if you’re personally LILITH affected.
Once a month, the MOON in VIRGO meets LILITH, bringing out our needs to be in integrity, and true to our wild & free Selves.
Here are the dates:
2023: OCT 10 (MOON – VENUS – LILITH!), NOV 6, DEC 4
2024: JAN 4, JAN 28, FEB 25, MARCH 23, APR 20, MAY 17, JUNE 14.
After the VENUS – MOON – LILITH alignment on OCT 10, the ‘Ring of Fire’ Annular Solar Release Eclipse in LIBRA on OCT 14 (specific Eclipse article to come) catalyzes LILITH into VIRGO.
Her VIRGO visit will be framed by oppositions w. SATURN in PI at the beginning, and w. NEPTUNE in PI at the very, very end.
Oppositions typically show up in relationships (with people, places, situations…).
In this case, esp. if you have positions in VIR, PI, but also GEM and SAG.
When things don’t intrinsically work anymore, and it’s difficult to resonate / raise vibrations, it’s time & prob. the most compassionate solutions to surrender & let go.
The most important phase for LILITH in VIRGO will be April 2024 when the opposition w. SATURN comes up again, plus, another opposition w. MARS in PI, plus, an exact Earth trine w. JUPITER & URANUS as they align in TAU – to be precise:
* She’ll widely oppose SATURN in PI all month of Apr (this contact will be already active for the 1st time on OCT 12, then exact), as well as MARS in PI on APR 20, plus:
* She goes into Earth trine w. URANUS in TAU on APR 13, and w. JUPITER in TAU on APR 24 (the latter will be also already in effect for the 1st time before, on DEC 4).
JUPITER & URANUS will align in TAU on APR 21 – the main transit of 2024!
EmBodying Freedom, based on all that we understand, will be a huge theme.

VIRGO ‘Mini Generations’ affected by LILITH’s Visit
painting by Johfra Bosschart
Were you or your loved ones born with
* PLUTO in VIR (Aug 1957 – July 1972)?
* URANUS in VIR (Aug 1962 – Sept 1978)?
* SATURN in VIR (Sept 1948 – Aug 1951 / Aug 1978 – Sept 1980 / Sept 2007 – July 2010)?
LILITH affects larger Soul groups born in these mini eras.
Her contact with these natal transpersonal Planets & SATURN will be on for about a month.
Check your ephemeris / l.m. check.
Let’s do a LILITH focused session!
LILITH meeting your PLUTO in VIRGO
Finding your Souls’ work and helping yourself and others in a powerful, transformative way has been a major evolution in your life.
Don’t ever consider yourself ‘small’ / inadequate / faulty / a ‘problem’.
And forget about giving so much power to micro-managing.
LILITH will remind you how powerful you are in essence, when you’re aligned with your unconditioned Self.
LILITH meeting your URANUS in VIRGO
You’ve been part of the revolutionizing / innovative ‘crew’ for the work / health / wellness field. You helped society break out of old molds of what the ‘feminine’ is supposed to be like.
LILITH in combo with your URANUS – whoa! Re-invent yourself (again!). She helps you undo old conditioning – and you can be a catalyst to help others with just that.
LILITH meeting your SATURN in VIRGO
You might have been trained (by conditioning? by life?) to be cautious, and stay in control of details, esp. when it comes to your body / health.
You tend to take too much on when it comes to helping others – let that tendency not go against you.
Angels don’t interfere – wait for their signals re: asking you for help.
LILTH mixes things up – only to help you shake off any shackles / impositions yu don’t need anymore for your perceived identity.
You ARE whole and complete.
LILITH travelling through VIRGO – in Your Chart
…helps you over the next months connect to your ‘Wild, Unconditioned Self’.
That’s most accessible in the areas of your Life where VIRGO is in your (birth and local) chart – via Planets / Houses.
For your SUN, MOON, Planets, AC, MC, or Lunar Nodes in VIRGO, LILITH is with you – in a free & fierce way.
Your SUN, MOON, Planets, AC, MC, or Lunar Nodes in the other mutable signs, GEM, SAG, or PISCES might ‘consider’ LILITH in VIR challenging at first – only for a freer version of YOU resulting from the process.
Back to the VIRGO Houses –
Here’s a list of the 12 Houses, geared towards VIRGO in them.
And the effect of LILITH’s visit.
1st House
How You show up –
Being self aware (not too self-critical!) & self contained sets you free.
2nd House
What you have and Value –
Your health and self sufficiency give you independence!
3rd House
Your Environment with its Mentality –
Grounding you, and showing you where you can help.
Yet also where it’s gotten too narrow for you…
4th House
Your Home & Origin –
A ‘workshop’ / a place of working / busy / skilled people?
Cutting loose from limitations of your early years / the family legacy?
Turning your private zone into a temple for your wellness practice?
5th House
Your Creativity, Children, and Lovers –
Be discerning, use your skills, and do what’s healthy.
6th House
Your Work, Health, and Lifestyle –
Practices for being in good shape is a natural health insurance, and good for your business & independence too.
7th House
Your Significant Others –
Doing their thing…
Check out what types of people you attract, and discern what kind of relationships are healthy & in alignment for you.
8th House
Your deep Involvement and Transformations –
What helps you, them, and your union, with depth & evolution?
Do you need time out to find yourself again?
9th House
Your Travels and Worldviews –
Traveling on a budget, for work, and to help ‘the world’?
Taking a break from the mundane to come back into alignment?
10th House
Your Calling and Purpose –
To be in alignment with your true Self, and of service.
Cultivate your public relations – in fierce integrity.
11th House
Your Community & Co-creations –
Aware & healthy bunch of like-spirited people – maybe some ‘wild cards’ too (whom you may resonate even more with, nowadays).
12th House
Your Oneness with ALL –
Wholeness as Self-in-All – back to the unconditioned You.
Random acts of Haiku – conveyed by the Owl
This is to our Wild & Free Nature in Integrity!
Blessings for LILITH in VIRGO!

Serving you with astrological guidance and perspective, pointing you to Your ‘Inner Cosmic Compass’.
I’d love to inspire you to be in alignment with, and smoothly ‘ride’, those ‘auspicious’ or ‘challenging’ waves of cosmic energies that present themselves at a given time, and, similar to climate and weather, affect our human energy field.
Which can lead to eye opening awareness, growth, healing, release, transformation, and you can feel more connected with yourself and with all-that-IS, in the bigger on-going evolution.
Ultimately, you dwell in a witnessing place in the ‘Hub of the Wheel’ where you are less & less affected, more & more liberated, and self-realized.
I welcome you as a client who is not seeking an ‘old school reading’ from me (“What’s going to happen TO me?”, “What am I supposed to do?”), but to be supported in accessing your own wisdom source, especially in times of a challenging transition, stuckness, transformational crisis, for new perspectives at a crossroad or dilemma, and for important choices.
This is to empowered and liberating ways of working with the ancient and timeless gift of Astrology!
