Hi Rad and All,
I have been diving into Lilith as of recently, and am connecting dots to how that pertains to the most natural sense of the feminine. I have a question that pertains to helping those ( male and female) tap into the undistorted masculine. Would utilizing Lilith be beneficial for unraveling the undistorted masculine within each of us, as Lilith can show us the feminine principle within all (male and female) and the masculine come from the feminine? Can we utilize other astrological asteroids or bodies that correspond to the masculine principle, that show the undistorted masculine? I am asking because I have many clients and people in my life who have the nodal axis of Leo/Aquarius who are non binary. There is an emphasis on both the masculine and feminine principles and unraveling of the undistorted version of both. What are the best astrological archetypes that help give a fuller picture of rediscovering what the undistorted are with both the masculine and feminine principle/archetypes? I feel from talking to Kristin that Lilith is such a key component but am wondering if there is a component with the masculine that I can utilize for the undistorted masculine, as well. Or would Lilith be sufficient enough, considering man comes from woman(relating back to the Garden of Eden Myth)? What would that look like? How could it be utilized to help soul’s who resonate with non-binary? Suggestions and thoughts are greatly appreciated! Thank you so much.
Much Love and gratitude,
Jordyn
Greetings Jordyn, Helena and all,
Many thanks to you both for your kind support and desire to team up to continue with this thread. Your passion for this work is inspiring as is your gift and talent for EA astrology itself. You are both naturals! Again, I am so honored and grateful. I understand Helena that you are busy for a bit and will contribute when time allows. So thanks for that. At any time, your contributions of course will be highly valued and appreciated.
As for doing Lilith through the houses, it seems best to simply maintain this thread, keeping the focus on how Lilith operates, irrespective of gender, given that she represents the guardian of the human Soul's root as true nature for both. As shown through A. Bourdain's chart analysis, her archetype is impactful for either, bringing into focus the harsh reality of patriarchal conditioning upon the Soul's true nature, the struggle and accomplishment that results by remaining steadfast and self-determined (Capricorn) to overcome all obstacles and actualize her.
If its okay with you, I would like to start by putting together and presenting on the thread the fundamentals for Lilith which I offer to anyone interested as a guide for interpretative purposes. I can have that ready to post in a day or two.
Besides covering the house archetypes, I thought it would be useful to also include their distortions, anything projected upon the Soul because of gender caused by patriarchal conditioning that violates or suppresses true nature. Additionally, perhaps touching upon the various roles men and women might perform as a reflection of true nature and Natural Law in pre-patriarchal and contemporary times (to bring it all up to speed) for each house expression. Do you feel that would be useful also?
Looking forward to your reply and to Lilith's journey through the houses for the undistorted masculine with you both and all interested others.
With much love and the Goddess' Blessings
