Ascendant – Lilith Conjunction – Fatal Attraction

The Black Moon represents all secret desires, thoughts, and dreams that feel awkward to speak about, yet stir the imagination through an unconscious attraction to forbidden fruit. The Ascendant is the Rising sign, and sometimes it is even more significant than the Sun sign, because through it others perceive the native as a socially meaningful person, and this is also how the native presents themselves in society.

The conjunction of Lilith with the Ascendant activates powerful physical attractiveness. This is a true magnet for the opposite sex and a charismatic role model for one’s own. Even if such a person puts on a monastic robe, they will still radiate magnetic sexuality. At the same time, people suspect them of something indecent or criminal, even if the native tries to be an angel in the flesh. This is the price of boundless physical attractiveness and the ability to come out clean from seemingly hopeless situations through almost magical charm.

Features of the Lilith – Ascendant Conjunction

Although other people’s reaction to the native’s appearance and manner of behavior is not always positive, the person unconsciously enjoys shocking, confusing, manipulating, and charming others, even when this works against them: people gossip about them, judge them, and sometimes even curse them.

These are fatal men and women who, purely for entertainment, may lure a partner away from the family or break up a strong couple, or set up a colleague, although in essence they do this out of boredom, just to make life more exciting. Of course, such actions are committed by people at the lower level of Lilith’s manifestation. They cannot tolerate being in the shadows; it is easier for them to remove a rival than to endure indifference toward themselves. This reaction may be caused by the following features of the Lilith – Ascendant conjunction:

• a rather late blooming of sexuality and physical attractiveness, often coinciding with the nine-year cycle; for example, at fourteen the native may be an ugly duckling, and at eighteen a femme fatale, which shocks the native as well, since they were used to their efforts to be noticed bringing no results;
• aggressive and hostile attitudes from people of the same sex: even if the native tries not to stand out and deliberately dresses modestly, sexual fantasies and intentions are still attributed to them;
• a fondness for extravagant clothing, hairstyles, hair colors, and an anarchic style of behavior, especially if the Ascendant is in Aquarius or Uranus joins the combination;
• nontraditional sexual orientation, although in the native’s case this may simply be a game meant to shock the public;
• sharp, somewhat rough speech, involvement in verbal conflicts, and the use of obscene language, especially with additional aspects to Mars;
• not always, but sometimes a strong attraction to violence from childhood: tormenting animals, bullying weaker and kinder peers, or, if Lilith is in fall, becoming a victim themselves.

Lilith in the First House often gives a mark on a visible part of the body, sometimes near the eyes, in the form of dark birthmarks or moles. Women with this aspect love emphasizing their eyes with overly bright eyeliner and their lips with scarlet lipstick, which sometimes gives them a vulgar look, but otherwise they do not feel confident.

Positive Influence of the Lilith – Ascendant Conjunction

The Black Moon has three levels of manifestation: lower, middle, and higher. At the first level, the native acts aggressively and provokes others; at the second, they themselves suffer from negative attitudes, redeeming ancestral transgressions; at the highest level, they gain access to Lilith’s talents and the opportunity to express them brightly through the Ascendant.

As a rule, this gives artistry, charisma, the ability to lead people, leadership qualities, and the gift of persuasion. If the native is a figure of historical scale, then everyone close to them will also become famous. One way or another, the person’s achievements and successes spread to their close circle.

Even on a more down-to-earth level, a beautiful woman with the Lilith – Ascendant conjunction visually makes the friends around her look more attractive too, and they certainly will not remain lonely, because there will be enough admirers for everyone. However, one should not forget that the reverse is also true: if the native commits a crime, all friends will feel the consequences.

Interestingly, people with the Lilith – Ascendant conjunction have highly developed intuition. They sense lies and falsehood, and it is impossible to deceive them. Yet they often become victims of sexual assault or crimes. The reason lies in a deep need for frightening experiments. They feel that someone is a criminal, but still follow that person in order to experience something new. At the highest level of Lilith, they have the strength to reject violence immediately and help others avoid it as well.

How to Harmonize the Lilith – Ascendant Conjunction

Working through this aspect is simple and difficult at the same time. Naturally, the person needs to stay away from dangerous groups and not provoke others into releasing negative energies. However, people in higher positions very often feel dislike toward the native for no clear reason. The best way to correct this is to develop artistry in all its forms: the stage, organizing celebrations, singing, and public speaking, preferably with a charitable purpose. Lilith shows the place where the person’s ancestors committed a great deal of harm. In the case of a conjunction with the Ascendant, this means egoism and abuse of authority for personal gain.

The native needs to act ahead of the problem: to perform selfless deeds, not so much enjoying their own popularity as helping others become famous. In this way, the negative side of Lilith will be neutralized. ✓
