Many astrologers only use the ten astrological planets. The astrological planets include the Sun, the Moon, and Pluto, but exclude Earth as a planet. However, some astrologers use additional objects, most commonly Lilith, the second moon of Earth. Though the existence of Lilith is yet to be confirmed, many astrologers believe that Lilith is a hypothetical or metaphysical object, rather than a reality.

For most astrologers, the inclusion of Lilith in their calculations, as well as finding its position on your birth chart, is very important. Finding Lilith's position in your birth chart helps a person to better understand their dark side and will uncover unhealthy behavior as well as self defeating patterns and routines. This is referred to as the sensitive point.

Lilith's existence is used to represent the dark or shadow side of your personality; a side of you that you may not show, yet it is still there. This usually relates to your memory of bad experiences. Many astrologists believe that acknowledging Lilith's existence will lead to self-transformation and liberation.

It's position on a man's and a woman's birth chart has two different meanings. On a woman's star chart, Lilith acts as the part life the woman has a strong or dominating role in. Lilith's presence is very apparent and prevailing in charts of influential, imaginative women, primarily those who are successful yet vulnerable and sensitive.

For many women with a strong evidence of Lilith in their chart, they may have unconventional relationships. In the chart of men, Lilith makes known the type of woman he fears, as well as the type that can drive him over the edge, in most cases to despair. The perfect position for Lilith in a man's chart has an effect that attracts strong and beautiful women to him.

Lilith is also believed to play a major role in the relationships that you encounter, especially if the relationship is an intense one. If Lilith is in the midst of transit in the love section of your chart when you first begin a relationship, that relationship will most likely become obsessive, intense, and painful for you. You may also feel remorse and unhappiness when Lilith enters new sections of your chart.

Like I already said, the existence of Lilith is still uncertain, and therefore a single point has not been defined. Astronomers may use the asteroid 1811 Lilith as well as the apogee of the moon. The apogee of the moon is the point furthest away from the moon on its orbit, and would therefore be the point totally opposite the moon.

Because of this, Lilith is sometimes referred to as the dark moon, as it is the opposite of the white moon that we see. Similarly, some astrologers use the apogee of the Earth as Lilith. In this case, Lilith is on the other side of the Sun, and can never be seen from Earth. The revolution time is approximately ten years and four months. It follows the path of the Zodiac at 40 degrees.
