Neptune – Lilith Square – Fanaticism at the Helm

The Black Moon reflects deep ancestral programs. In the theme of the House where it is placed, the person reacts and acts from these hidden impulses, not always understanding why they feel exactly this way. If, in harmonious connections with other planets, this works only as an advantage, then the square with Neptune makes the native act illogically and incorrectly, because they do not hear the voice of true intuition, but follow the call of ancestral fears, illusions, anxieties, and limitations.

Even without Lilith, Neptune clouds the mind and dissolves the boundaries of reality, while the dark temptress additionally distorts the person’s vision of the world. Such a person can easily be turned into a fanatic. Once the native takes on faith any idea that interests them, and especially when they see that loved ones do not share their views, they are ready to fight for it to the end. The native may also act as a manipulator: outwardly angelic and innocent, yet confusing and misleading others.

Dangers of the Neptune – Lilith Square

The only justification for the manipulations of natives with this aspect is that behind them there is always some higher idea, distortedly understood because of Lilith’s influence. There are many people with this aspect among workers of financial pyramids and totalitarian sects. They sincerely believe that they are helping people become rich and find God. At first, they themselves were deceived and inspired into fraudulent activity by being told it was service, and then two scenarios are possible when natives with the Neptune – Lilith square:

• believe with all their soul in the righteousness of their cause and close their eyes to the obvious discrepancy between illegal activity and declared ideals;
• fully understand the goals of their organization in the process, but find excuses for them or openly sympathize with criminal processes.

Of course, this is far from always the case, but Lilith strives to distort Neptune’s originally bright spiritual search. It pushes the native to seek God outside religion or to deny His existence altogether. Among natives with the Neptune – Lilith square, there are many atheists, and it is important for them to enter into polemics with those who think differently, proving their own rightness. They are interested in dissuading an opponent or planting a seed of doubt in the opponent’s mind.

At the same time, sometimes the native’s own beliefs may change abruptly, when in the course of their crusades they become imbued with another ideology or religion, which they later defend just as passionately. This happens if Neptune or the Black Moon affects the Ninth House.

Lilith’s distorted mirror warps the theme of the sector where Neptune is placed. If this is the Second or Eighth House, the native may believe that money is unspiritual and that one must not earn from creativity or a beloved occupation. This leads to a blockage of the money channel, as well as the habit of choosing an unpleasant job simply to earn a living, while fearing to move into the field they truly love.

The most difficult position occurs when one of the participants is in the Twelfth House. This is already an indicator of ancestral programs and deep fears of Neptunian themes. The native’s ancestors may have been executed for witchcraft. In the understanding of the Inquisition of earlier times, this also included medicine, chemistry, astrology, and even scientific activity. Accordingly, the person’s memory stores the recollection that the church is dangerous, and they may experience strong unconscious fear at the sight of religious attributes.

The Neptune – Lilith Square and Relationships

The native is gifted with deep intuition and the ability to see the true essence of people. However, this is available to those who are at a high level of development. They immediately sense if a partner is dishonest or is merely thinking about betrayal.

Such people are very difficult to deceive, but at an average level of awareness, they more often do it themselves. A constant struggle takes place in their mind. On the one hand, they want to dive headfirst into the world of sensual pleasures and material enjoyment. On the other hand, they feel this as a sinful desire, especially if they are fanatically religious.

For atheists, everything is simpler: they allow themselves a great deal, but retribution for excessive sensual indulgence is also unavoidable. Without faith in something better, the Lilith – Neptune square pulls the person into alcohol and drug dependence, especially if unhappy love occurs. Codependent relationships are also possible, when without the suffering caused by a partner, life seems bland and uninteresting. The native draws the highest pleasure from dissolving in another person, which can lead to a complete loss of orientation and personal uniqueness.

How to Work Through the Lilith – Neptune Square

The person does not feel the tension of this aspect constantly, but it accumulates in the soul through disappointments, shattered illusions, and unrealized dreams. The more of them there are, the faster the native falls under Lilith’s influence, thinking that if they suffer, then others should suffer too — the motto of adherents of financial pyramids and totalitarian sects.

Other natives with this square find different tempting theories of superiority or merge with secret organizations, feeling themselves to be one whole with something greater. This calms the nerves, but it would be much better to find a point of support within oneself rather than outside, by defining personal priorities. It is preferable to write down all goals, dreams, and aspirations in a notebook, so the person knows what is primary and secondary, and what they should move toward in the near future.

A major problem for the native is also absent-mindedness and drifting in the clouds of their dreams. Spending time in nature and solitude by the sea helps greatly. Important discoveries and insights come there. The person must not blindly believe other people’s promises or become involved in projects whose details are hidden in fog.
