Black Moon in Leo: what does it mean and which signs are most affected

When the Moon is at the farthest point of its orbit around the Earth, astrology calls it the Black Moon, which symbolizes one of the dark sides of the natal chart. It is believed to cause negative effects, and according to astrological predictions, some signs are more affected by this cosmic aspect. The Black Moon changes sign roughly every 9 months and is currently in Leo, a fire sign, where it will remain until October 2023. This period activates our ego and we become very vulnerable.

In astrology, the Black Moon represents the darker parts of yourself that you often repress but hold the key to reclaiming your true spirit. The Black Moon is named after Lilith, a figure from popular mythology who refused to abide by the rules of patriarchy and was banished for doing so. Lilith represents the indomitable force within you that refuses to bend to the rules or conditions set by society.

In astrology, Lilith is neither a planet nor an asteroid. This is an imaginary point in the sky, the furthest from the lunar orbit around the Earth. That is why it is known as the Black Moon – the shadow, the darkest point of our birth chart.
