North (South) Node – Lilith Sextile – Talent as Temptation

Lilith is also called the Black Moon, and although it is considered a hypothetical point, just like the karmic Nodes themselves, their connection shows how strong the programs of the past are in the native’s life, determining their choices, individual reactions, and most importantly, giftedness in one or another sphere of the Houses affected by the aspect. The South Descending Node is a symbol of a completed program. Most often, it indicates abilities through which the native’s ancestors succeeded.

These talents can and should be expressed, but the person must not limit themselves only to them while moving toward the Ascending Node. If this Node itself is in aspect to Lilith, it means that certain character qualities were not revealed in the family line, or that because of other people’s envy, insurmountable circumstances, and personal demons, members of the family line themselves refused to develop their gift. Now the native will have to take this on.

The Karma of Lilith’s Sextile to the Ascending (Descending) Nodes

The talents of the Black Moon are no simple trial. If the person reaches the higher level of this demonic energy, they can manage their life by becoming aware of negative emotions and the inner intensity of passions. However, in the case of a sextile to the Lunar Nodes, this can be done only by understanding the family history and the karmic arrangement at the moment of birth.

Lilith’s position shows what problems the ancestors faced on the lower level of the sign and House. The native’s task is to transform them into something positive: through the position of the Ascending Node, to determine exactly how to develop as fully as possible and study everything new; and where, on the contrary, to give more than they take for themselves, if the Node is the Descending one.

For example, the Black Moon in Gemini speaks of the leading role of intellect and Mercurial gifts, which may not have manifested in the family line because of fear of gossip and rumors. Or, on the contrary, members of the family line may have succeeded, but engaged in much empty talk, judged others, and even caused harm through anonymous denunciations and slander.

The native’s task is to develop intellectually as a writer, journalist, teacher, or marketer, while avoiding gossip, rumors, and denunciations. If people behave this way toward them, they must not respond in kind. In this way, both the development of talents through Lilith’s sextile to either Node and the working through of karma take place, with the Black Moon pointing to its dark side.

The sextile to the Ascending Node indicates the need to find one’s uniqueness and the sphere of activity where the person can create something new while standing apart from others. The sextile to the Descending Node, on the contrary, says that in a past life the person reveled in the feeling of exclusivity and was very vain. In the present, such manifestations will be harshly blocked.

Talents and Opportunities of Lilith’s Sextile to the Ascending Node

In the native’s family history, there were cases when their ancestors were embarrassed to reveal their abilities, or when doing so was simply unsafe. Such people may have suffered from another person’s envy and spent long years in imprisonment, for example in Stalinist camps, without being able to realize themselves. The chart holder’s task is to learn about the fate of their parents and grandparents in order to understand exactly which talent they need to develop.

Ideally, it is good to study their natal charts by looking at the First, Fifth, and Tenth Houses, but if this is not possible, the person should turn to family history.

In general terms, Lilith’s sextile to the Ascending Node endows the person with artistry and artistic abilities, but they will have to learn how to present themselves advantageously.

At first, chart holders resemble navigators who have taken the helm of a huge multi-level yacht for the first time. They do not quite understand how to manage this powerful force and may give the impression of arrogant, even brazen people. Over time, however, as they develop on the higher level of the sign where Lilith is located, they will understand how to maintain a balance between it and the sign of the North Node. Artistry will help them in any field of activity, while excessive amorousness may interfere. There will also be many temptations along the line of the Black Moon. Once they achieve success, they may quite easily fall ill with star fever and begin abusing their privileges.

The worst thing is to become stuck at the first stage of achievement, stop developing, and stop improving.

Talents and Opportunities of Lilith’s Sextile to the Descending Node

The accumulated ancestral karma of Ketu in this aspect harmonizes Lilith’s dark program. Moreover, with the help of the most obvious talents manifested in the family line, the person can overcome the temptations of the Black Moon.

The native will undergo tests of loyalty to goodness every nine years. At those times, they may face a choice: to receive what they desire but compromise their principles, or to renounce what they want most in the House and sign where Lilith is located in order to keep the soul pure. The second option is the key to development and a calm, happy life. If the native gives in to temptation, they will deprive themselves of joy and uniqueness. Most often, the temptation is connected with submission to a sponsor or producer and is expressed through complete subordination to another person.

Lilith’s sextile to the Descending Node also gives the person artistry and the ability to charm anyone at first glance. Unlike those under the Ascending Node’s influence, they already intuitively know how to seduce and win someone over, but this makes the temptation to use it for selfish purposes even stronger. However, this is exactly the case when the hunter gets caught in their own net. It will be especially difficult for those who want to build a career through a workplace romance. In this incarnation, the person needs to rely on their true calling, not on physical allure and Lilith’s charisma. In the sphere of the House and sign where the Black Moon is located, they need to give more rather than take, and the position of the Ascending Node will show exactly how to do this.  ✓
