In astrology, Lilith (specifically Black Moon Lilith) is not a physical planet or asteroid, but a mathematical point in space representing the lunar apogee—the exact spot where the Moon is farthest from the Earth. Named after the mythic first wife of Adam who refused to submit, Lilith symbolizes the shadow self, raw primal instincts, repressed rage, and untamed feminine power.
