The Black Moon.
The Black Moon, or Lilith, in astrological literature is often called a hypothetical planet (that is, supposedly existing, but not yet open). In fact, there is no big planet with this name. This name is worn by a small planet - the asteroid 1181, and at the end of the XIX century it was named and a small planetoid revolving around the Earth (although later it turned out that it was not a planetoid, but a dust cloud moving in a lunar orbit).
In the astrological encyclopaedic dictionary of Saplin, it is stated that in medieval astrology, Lilith was considered the embodiment of the ill-fated qualities of a defective (waning) moon.
Researchers believe that the name Lilith comes from the Hebrew word "lilith" - "night". At all times, Lilith was really credited with negative qualities, and not surprisingly, because according to the Kabbalistic book "Zohar", that's the name of the demoness, one of Satan's four wives, who gave birth to many demons. There is another version according to which Lilith was the first (before the creation of Eve) Adam's wife, sent to him by Satan and soon expelled from paradise by God.
In modern astrology, the Black Moon (Lilith) is understood as the farthest point of the lunar orbit, called apogee, from the Earth. And it will be correct to refer this point not to hypothetical, but to fictitious planets. In special tables - ephemerides - the movement of this point is indicated by the signs of the Zodiac.
The astrologer Timashev divides the Black Moon into Lilith and Druj. In his opinion, Lilith (or the Middle Black Moon) "is the average apogee of the lunar orbit, that is, some kind of mathematical idealization, averaged motion of the true apogee," and Druj (or True Black Moon) is a true apogee. The movement of both points along the zodiac signs is given in Timashev's book "Ephemerides of the True Black Moon (Drouj)", published in 1996.
What information load does the Black Moon carry from the point of view of astrology?
Timashev pays great attention to the astropsychological essence of the Black Moon, which consists in the maximum manifestation of the unconscious beginning, which can not be controlled by reason. In the subconscious of the person live deep, often unconscious desires, hidden fears and complexes that keep our psyche in constant tension. The Black Moon takes them to the outside world, makes them visible to others and accessible to their own consciousness. And here the difference between the True and Middle Black Moon becomes clear: Druj points to really existing complexes and internal problems, and Lilith - only to our subjective perception of our own complexes.
