Ascendant – Lilith Sextile – The Mask of Temptation

A provocative, extravagant image for the sake of success in society is a normal state for the native with this aspect. The Ascendant represents the social mask under which it is easier for a person to express themselves in the world. Sometimes it becomes an alter ego, and at times it does not coincide with the person’s true nature at all, yet it serves as a faithful helper in career realization and communication with people.

Aspects with Lilith, the Black Moon, show how taboo this mask will become in the eyes of others, and whether its sexual and provocative undertone will evoke hatred or admiration. Thanks to the sextile, the native does not constantly activate their attractive charisma, but only in matters that are truly important to them. Most often, they awaken an inexplicable sympathy, although this does not protect them from envy.

Opportunities and Problems of the Lilith – Ascendant Sextile

Since the Black Moon is a hypothetical point connected with the dark hidden stream of the person’s subconscious, it needs time to have a noticeable influence on destiny.

In childhood, the temporary activation of the sextile with the Ascendant is almost not felt. Separate flashes are possible at the age of nine, but they affect only the formation of the native’s self-esteem and inner desire to create a particular image, style, and role model for themselves.

The Lilith – Ascendant sextile activates in full brilliance at the age of eighteen, during the second cycle of the Black Moon, when the native already becomes aware of their somewhat dark, sensual side. If the square gives demonic attractiveness, the sextile adds only a pinch of spice from possible charisma, but this is enough to charm at first sight.

The sextile does not work constantly. Its magic appears when the native truly needs to:

• secure a decent financial income while also becoming a noticeable figure in a beloved field: they will not sit in the shadows and earn pennies, unless the personal planets are too strongly afflicted;
• become one of their own in a desired social circle: here the person activates personal charm to the maximum, and of course Lilith will not miss this energetic impulse, activating charm, the ability to present oneself advantageously, artistry, and subtle psychological attunement to any conversation partner.

However, it is a mistake to consider the sextile an exclusively positive aspect. It is a zigzag of luck, but luck does not come only to the righteous and kind. The Black Moon has three levels of manifestation: lower, middle, and higher.

If the native is at the initial level, they will certainly act according to the nature of the aspect, but the methods they choose to reach their goal will not be the most ethical. These are charming egoists. They sincerely believe that everyone is extremely interested in their life, talents, and abilities, while showing little interest in other people, even their closest relatives.

Here, the Lilith – Ascendant sextile gives the ability to gain trust, skillfully transform into a representative of the bohemian world or financial elite, and create mutual physical attraction with the opposite sex. The problem is that the native may use all this for selfish purposes, thereby nullifying the positive energy of the sextile.

Positive Influence of the Lilith – Ascendant Sextile

This aspect gives luck in matters of social advancement. As soon as the native chooses an active position, they immediately understand how to build their personal brand. This is a kind of built-in marketer’s instinct directed toward themselves. At the same time, the style is most often provocative and bold, but without crossing the boundaries of decency.

The native knows how to stir the imagination, but does not ignore the rules of etiquette, so as not to become an outcast. There is something theatrical and deliberate in their rebellion and challenge, yet this is exactly what attracts public attention to taboo themes, against the background of which the native with the Lilith – Ascendant sextile can easily build a stellar career as an innovator and inventor in creativity or information technology.

If there are additional aspects with the Fifth House, or the Ascendant is connected with it through its ruler, these people are born actors and salespeople. Artistry and oratorical skill help them easily convey their system of values to the world and sell an information product at a high price.

Ideally, the native is proud of their attractiveness and ability to form a unique style without resembling anyone else. If Lilith is in Aquarius or Leo, a new direction in fashion may even be born here. Thanks to the native’s good taste, they almost never make a mistake in choosing their own extravagant image.

How to Activate the Lilith – Ascendant Sextile

Since this is a temporarily active aspect, it is difficult to rely on its automatically activated help. It is necessary to consciously study Lilith’s influence on the chart as a whole, through its position in the House and sign, and deliberately express oneself on the second or third levels, avoiding the temptation of the first, lower level.

At the same time, the sign of the Ascendant must not be forgotten. It is favorable if it is in the same element as the Sun or Moon, because Lilith is the apogee of lunar manifestation, and it will be easier for the person to bring everything to a common denominator, and especially to express themselves through creativity and a creative approach to achieving the goal.

Brightness, uniqueness of clothing style and communication, appearance, and manner of speech will always be beneficial. It is important for the native to accept everything within themselves, without dividing emotions into bad and good, and to treat others in the same way. If the person allows themselves negative actions through Lilith, this will reflect badly on both their reputation and appearance.  ✓
