In love

You tend to want total closeness and to be very wary of giving it. You need a partner who isn't scared of intensity and who doesn't use your secrets against you.

At work

Research, investigation and anything involving what people hide tend to suit you. You can do what others won't look at, and you tend to do it very well.

What to watch

You can test someone so hard they fail. Most people can't pass an exam they didn't know they were taking, and they deserve to be told.

Black Moon Lilith is a point, not a body: the far end of the Moon's orbit. It stays in a sign for about nine months. From the mean lunar apogee, shown as Mean Lilith in other software. How we calculate the sky.

With friends and family

With friends and family, Lilith in Scorpio is read as the one who sees what the family doesn't talk about. You may have learned early to keep secrets or to sense them. Friends who can handle honesty and keep your confidences tend to become friends for life, and you can be fiercely loyal to them.

Making decisions

When deciding, this placement is read as going all in once you have made up your mind, and a strong instinct for what is hidden in a deal or a person. That instinct is often right. The check is whether a choice comes from wanting control or from what you actually want, since the first can look like the second.

What Lilith in Scorpio gives you

The gift of Lilith in Scorpio is depth without fear. You can go where others won't, in research, in honest conversation and in desire, and return with the truth. Once you stop hiding your intensity, it tends to become magnetic, and people bring you the problems they trust no one else with.

When Lilith is in Scorpio again

After 2010, Lilith starts 3 stays in Scorpio before 2041. Astrologers read these as the stretches when its themes are in the air for everyone, and most of all for people born with it here.
