Lilith calculator
Your Lilith sign is the sign Black Moon Lilith stood in when you were born: the part of you that refuses to be tamed. Enter your birth details to see yours, with every planet beside it.
How your Lilith is found
Black Moon Lilith is a point rather than a body: the place where the Moon’s orbit swings farthest from Earth. It moves steadily forward, about nine months in each sign, round the zodiac every nine years.
This is the mean Lilith, the smooth average point most astrologers use. Your chart places it to the degree, and in its house with a birth time.
If you do not know your birth time
You can still find your Lilith sign. It spends nine months in each, so the date settles it on all but a day or two; the house it falls in takes the time.
What your Lilith means
Lilith is named for the figure of old legend who would not obey. In a chart it marks what you keep wild: an appetite, a temper or a freedom someone once tried to shame out of you, and the strength that comes from owning it.

Questions
What does my Lilith sign mean?
It names what you refuse to tame. In Leo it is the wish to be seen whole; in Libra, the moment you stop keeping the peace at any price.
Do I need my birth time to find my Lilith?
Not for the sign. Lilith moves about a tenth of a degree a day, so the date settles it. The house it falls in takes your birth time.
Is Black Moon Lilith a planet or an asteroid?
Neither. It is a point in space, where the Moon’s orbit is farthest from Earth. An asteroid named Lilith exists too, and it is a different thing.
Is it the mean Lilith or the true Lilith?
The mean Lilith, the smooth average most astrologers use. The true, or oscillating, Lilith swings around it by as much as thirty degrees, so the two can fall in different signs.
