Black Moon Lilith Calculator

Your Black Moon Lilith sign is the zodiac sign occupied by Black Moon Lilith at your birth. Enter your birth date above to calculate your Lilith sign. Adding your exact birth time and birthplace also allows the calculator to determine its house placement.

Lilith sign answers what the theme feels like — the style of instinct, desire, boundary and unedited self in your natal chart. It is not your Sun sign, and it is not a single “shadow” label. Think of it as a tone: how refusal, appetite and autonomy tend to color experience.

Exact degree places Lilith inside the sign. When birth time is known, house shows the life area where those themes are most likely to appear. If you mainly want your placement, start with the form above; the sections below help once you have a result.

Lilith's house depends on your exact birth time and birthplace. Enter all three birth details into the calculator to find which of the 12 houses contains your Black Moon Lilith.

Sign is the nature of the theme. House is the terrain — identity, resources, communication, home, creativity, work, partnership, intimacy, belief, public life, community or solitude. Lilith in Scorpio in the 8th does not read the same as Lilith in Scorpio in the 2nd: same intensity tone, different stage of life.

Without an accurate birth time, any house would only be a guess. We leave house unknown rather than inventing a Rising sign. You can still read Lilith sign and degree, then come back when your birth time is clearer.

Calculate My Lilith House ↑

This calculator uses Black Moon Lilith— specifically mean Black Moon Lilith (the Moon's mean apogee).

Black Moon Lilith is not a planet and not the asteroid also called Lilith. It is a calculated point: the Moon's apogee, the farthest point of the lunar orbit from Earth. In modern astrology it is often read as a marker of raw instinct, desire, taboo, refusal and the parts of self that resist being smoothed into acceptability.

Different calculators sometimes use different “Lilith” points: mean Lilith, True Lilith, asteroid Lilith, or other Dark Moon points. This page always uses mean Black Moon Lilith in the tropical zodiac, with Placidus houses when birth time and place are known. Mean and True Lilith can differ by several degrees, so knowing which one you used makes it easier to compare charts.

Your Lilith placement is one layer among many. It does not replace the Moon, Venus, Mars or the outer planets, and it is not a full story about exile or power on its own. Sign, degree and house give you a practical map to compare with lived experience.

This free Lilith calculator uses Western tropical astrology and Swiss Ephemeris. If birth time is unknown, we leave the house blank rather than invent one.

1. Your birth date and time are adjusted into a precise moment. When a birthplace is provided, we use its time zone.
2. Birthplace (when provided) sets the location used for houses and local time.
3. We find where mean Black Moon Lilith was at that moment.
4. That position becomes your tropical sign and exact degree.
5. With both birth time and place, we place Lilith in a house using the Placidus house system.

• Zodiac system: Tropical
• House system: Placidus
• Lilith: Black Moon Lilith (mean)
• Ephemeris: Swiss Ephemeris
