✨ Asteroids & Points: The Hidden Treasures in Your Star Map
Imagine your birth chart is a treasure map. The planets are the big, obvious landmarks—mountains, rivers, castles. But scattered across this map are tiny, sparkling gems hidden in unexpected places. These are the asteroids and points—small but mighty cosmic helpers that reveal secret parts of who you are!
🌑 Black Moon Lilith: Your Wild Inner Self
What Is It?
Black Moon Lilith isn’t a planet or a rock in space. It’s an invisible point—the spot where the Moon is farthest from Earth in its orbit.
Think of it like this: Imagine you’re on a swing. When you swing forward, you’re close to your friend pushing you. When you swing back, you’re as far as you can get. Black Moon Lilith is like that farthest point on the swing—a place of maximum distance.
What Does It Mean?
Black Moon Lilith represents the wild, untamed part of you. It’s like having a secret lion living inside your heart.
Simple Example:
- You know that feeling when you want to say “NO!” really loud but you stay quiet instead?
- Or when you want to dance crazy but you feel shy?
- That wild energy you hide? That’s your Lilith!
Why It Matters
Lilith shows us:
- 🦁 What we feel we must hide
- 🌙 Where we feel like outsiders
- 💪 Our secret source of power
Quick Fact: Black Moon Lilith takes about 9 years to travel through all 12 zodiac signs!
🪨 Asteroids Overview: The Supporting Cast
What Are Asteroids?
Between Mars and Jupiter, there’s a cosmic neighborhood called the Asteroid Belt. It’s like a giant ring of floating rocks—millions of them!
Astrologers picked out a few special ones because they add extra detail to your story.
