Black Moon in Leo
Lilith in Leo describes the shadow side of the personality: forbidden desires, temptations and what a person refuses to accept in themselves. Element: fire; modality: fixed.
Shadow
Lilith in Leo is the shadow of pride and a craving for admiration. The wish to be special, a star, a “king” can grow into vanity, arrogance and an inability to share the stage with others.
Temptations
Demanding worship, putting yourself above others, playing a role instead of being yourself, taking risks for the sake of fame. The temptation to love yourself through other people's eyes.
Relationships and Desire
In love — a passion for dramatic romances, a need to be adored, competing for attention. There may be difficulties with children or as a parent — pride gets in the way of hearing the child.
How It Shows Up in Life
Life tests you through recognition: a fall from the pedestal, envy, other people's fame. The lesson is to shine without blinding and not to depend on the stage.
How to Work With Lilith
Working with Lilith in Leo means finding your sense of worth in creativity and the heart rather than in applause, and being able to rejoice in other people's success. The bright side is charisma, creative courage and generosity.
A fire Lilith: the shadow is tied to will and self-assertion — pride, anger, a thirst for power and fame. The lesson is to shine and lead without burning others.
Mean or True
The mean Lilith takes about nine months to pass through a sign, so everyone born in those months has it in Leo. The true Lilith swings up to 30° around the mean one and can end up in the neighboring sign. Most astrologers read the mean Lilith. The Black Moon calculator will show both points, as well as Lilith's house.
