Lilith and Priapus is a guide to the Black Moon, the point in the natal chart that holds the shadow: what we keep hidden, the desire we do not allow ourselves, the rebellion we do not dare to express. It is also the place of our most authentic strength, the one that does not ask permission to exist.

Lilith is the lunar apogee, the point where the Moon is farthest from the Earth. Priapus is the perigee, the point where it is closest. The book reads them together, as the two poles of the same axis and the same energy: what Lilith holds back, Priapus pushes out in excess.

Lilith is not a malefic point and does not determine destiny. It speaks of personal and family karma: memories that reappear in the closest bonds, in the relationship with the body, with sexuality, with motherhood, and with freedom, to be recognized and transformed.

The journey begins with the myth, from the Babylonian night spirits to Adam's first wife and finally to the god Priapus, clarifies which Lilith to use in the natal chart, the true Lilith, and proposes a method of reading on three levels of awareness. Lilith in the twelve signs, in the twelve houses, and in aspects to the planets follows, along with a chapter dedicated to Priapus and its conjunctions.

The appendices collect practical repertories to consult on your own chart: Sun and Moon conjunct Lilith in the twelve houses, Lilith in every house in the twelve signs, and the reading of Lilith in synastry, to understand what happens when one person's Black Moon touches the other's planets.

Who This Book Is For
For those who know the basics of astrology and want to understand where, in their chart, the soul asks for freedom.
For those who want to read Lilith with respect, without predictions that cause fear.
For those who work with natal charts and are looking for a clear method to interpret it.
