As you move further along in your astrology studies, you may come to progressions and Black Moon Lilith. I adore Lilith, and progressions add another layer to your analysis. So how can progressions impact Black Moon Lilith for you? What are progressions?
The progressed chart adds one day to your date of birth for every year you've been alive to create a new chart reflective of your maturation and growth. This chart can be used in predictive analysis and show developments in your life, and can be used along with transits.
What is Black Moon Lilith?
Black Moon Lilith is the apogee of the Moon, and in astrology, can link to a few things, but the main energy is an inner power within us all to stand up for what we believe in and what we feel is right. Lilith is a powerful position, though it can come with some opposition sometimes.
Lilith was Adam's first wife in the Garden of Eden and refused to submit to him, and was cast out, hence the opposition that can be associated with this position. Progressed Black Moon Lilith in Astrology
Your progressed Black Moon Lilith can show where and how you're using this energy now. If progressed Lilith changes Zodiac signs, this can show how you assert your positions can shift, and you can learn new ways of doing so.
If progressed Lilith changes natal or progressed houses, this can show where you assert your positions can shift, and you can take up new causes and passions. When your progressed Black Moon Lilith ia anaretic, you can feel a huge push to take a stand, defend yourself or others, and can be extra passionate about what you believe. You may need to channel this energy productively, otherwise you may lash out quite a bit. No matter what, you may experience a lot more opposition than usual. When your progressed Black Moon Lilith aspects any of your natal or progressed planets, your passionate energy can focus on whatever that planet rules, and it can be used in a beneficial way with sextiles and trines, and it can come with extra challenges with squares and oppositions. With conjunctions, you can feel a huge surge to take a stand, and may need to undergo some sort of transformation with the planet involved. Progressed Planets to Natal Black Moon Lilith
Your progressed planets can also aspect your natal Black Moon Lilith, and this can stimulate your natal Lilith energy in a big way. With sextiles and trines, you can benefit from your passion and intensity. With squares and oppositions, you may be challenged by others, have to work through blocks, or make transformations.
Conjunctions by the progressed planets can be strong, and this can trigger major Lilith energy. There is only 1 progressed planet that will definitely conjunct your natal Black Moon Lilith at least once in your life as long as you live to at least your mid-20's, and that's the progressed Moon. Depending on the placements of the other planets when you were born in relation to Black Moon Lilith, they may not conjunct your natal Lilith, but the progressed Moon will since it moves the fastest and tours all of the Zodiac signs in 28 years or less. The Moon is your emotions, so when your progressed Moon conjuncts your natal Black Moon Lilith, this can bring an emotional connection to your natal Lilith. You can really connect with standing up for yourself, feel emotionally driven to take a stand, and when you speak your positions, you really mean it. What you believe in is emotionally charged. And you may find yourself in positions where you have to defend yourself, have to take a stand, have to speak up. This can be the case with any of the planets conjuncting your natal Lilith. When it's the progressed Moon, this may be an emotional experience, and it may feel a bit unsettling emotionally. But there's likely something you need to learn from the experience, and it can help you find more emotional security and confidence. You can emotionally identify with your Lilith, and finding your worth can be super important. Lilith knew her worth, and your need to know yours. There may be something emotionally that you have to transform in some way, or even eliminate from your life. This can be upsetting, but ultimately what needs to happen. Make sure you're taking a thoughtful approach, and not letting yourself get caught up in the emotions, otherwise you may be prone to being rash. Since the Moon rules the mother, and I find Black Moon Lilith can tie to difficult mothers, if you have a challenging relationship with your mother or a mother figure, that might get amplified. Some part of it may even feel like it reaches a boiling point or breaking point. Try to find some objectivity as you deal with it, since that can be lacking. This aspect is usually in effect for 2-3 months. Moving on, we'll focus on the progressed Sun conjunct your natal Black Moon Lilith. The Sun is your true self, who you are with those who know you best, so your progressed Sun is the one who most reflects how you change as a person. When conjunct your natal Lilith, you may identify very, very strongly with your natal Lilith energy. You may almost embody Lilith in some way, even physically. You may feel like you absolutely must be Lilith, otherwise you're denying who you are. This strong identification of Lilith can help you connect with the important energy of Lilith, and if you need to learn how to stand up, speak out, and find your worth, that can become a priority and may seem easier to do. At the same time, you may also encounter more of the opposition in your life as you gain these traits, like Lilith did. This points out to you the people who are most insecure and threatened by you, and you can slide them out of your life as best as you can or find some other more constructive ways of dealing with them. Lilith was cast out of the Garden of Eden, so there may be a situation where you feel you're cast out, even literally kicked out from something or somewhere. Or you may focus on some situation or place where you're not normally welcome, and try to break it down to let you in. Think about structural barriers you can help dismantle. Lilith has other effects, and these may all feature prominently for you, so you may explore your psychosexual nature, create or renew your connection to nature and natural elements, or discover your inner witch. This aspect is in effect for about 2-3 years. Now on to your progressed Mercury conjunct your natal Black Moon Lilith. Mercury rules the mind and communication, so this greatly amplifies the speaking out and taking a stand part of Lilith. It can be a lot easier for you to say something, to say what needs to be said, to say what no one wants to hear but has to. Your words can carry a lot more power, but they can also get you in a lot more trouble. Lilith experienced opposition by Adam for speaking her mind, so this can be a cost of speaking up for you. Now, it's a cost you're likely willing to pay as you believe very strongly in what you're saying. Of course, do make sure you're being logical and clear. There are a lot of people who believe strongly in what they say, but they're saying stupidity, so don't be one of them! You may focus more on subjects that relate to or impact what you feel is unjust or discriminatory. You can be excellent at debate, and give passionate speeches, even just to 1 or 2 people. And you can be willing to argue until they see your point of view, no matter how long that takes. Mercury rules learning, so you may spend time making yourself more knowledgeable about your positions, and you can share your knowledge with others. Mercury also rules young people, so you may focus on imparting the knowledge to those younger than you, or you may focus on issues that young people are particularly concerned about, so things like climate change or gun violence. Since Mercury is dual in nature, you may also find you have TWO focuses that you're passionate about defending and speaking up about. That can be too much for some, but works out well for the mentally-energized Mercury. I also wanted to do one little note about if your progressed Mercury is retrograde when it conjuncts your natal Black Moon Lilith. This can show that there is an element of fate, destiny, or karma with whatever you get involved with. You are meant to focus on this, you are meant to speak up and not stay silent. There can be way more opposition, yet you can also be way more influential. But again, keep in mind logic and stay rational. This aspect can be in effect for about 2-3 years. Moving on to your progressed Venus conjunct your natal Black Moon Lilith. This one brings in relationships and the people in your life since that's what Venus rules, and you may find you're speaking up a lot more with those you're in a relationship with. Your friends, co-workers, fellow volunteers, family, romantic partners, and on and on. You can be a lot more passionate about your positions with them, and you may demand more justice and equality, both in your own relationships and for everyone. You may find that justice and equality are what get you going most. Since Venus rules relationships, we must remember that Lilith was the first wife of Adam, and got kicked out of Eden for not obeying him. So, keep a watchful eye for people in your life who want you to obey them. You may be more apt to stand up to them, and they may be more apt to punish you for it. That's not the equitable relationship you want though, so you're more willing to walk away. On the flip side, Venus can rule what we attract instead of us ourselves, so you may find that you end up attracting a lot of Lilith people into your life. It may seem like every person you encounter has something to say about something important, and is taking a stand on different matters. You can find this attractive, and may want to spend more time around them. Venus also rules your self-esteem and self-worth, so while conjunct your natal Black Moon Lilith, you may need to focus more on finding value in yourself. You may become more aware of your insecurities and where they come from. You need to work on giving yourself the respect you give others. Since I touched on if Mercury is retrograde conjunct your natal Lilith, I'll also touch on if Venus is retrograde when conjunct your natal Lilith. Like with Mercury, this adds a touch of fate, destiny, or karma, with you either standing up for the matters of equality and justice that you're passionate about, and/or with the Lilith-like people you encounter in your life. This aspect can be in effect for about 2-3 years. Then for progressed Mars conjunct your natal Black Moon Lilith, so Mars is energy and drive. This means when it's conjunct Lilith, you have extra energy and drive with Lilith. You have extra energy and drive to speak up and take a stand. You can be more assertive about it, louder about it, and more forthright about it. You can be enthusiastic about your positions, and you can passionately fight for them. Mars is the warrior, so this is a bit of a warrior aspect. Speaking up and taking a stand can help drive you in other areas as well, and you may find that the more you speak up, the more you take a stand, the more you want to do more. This can be an active period for activism, or even simply self-defense, because of that. As you do this, you can also gain more confidence and belief in yourself. Seeing your self-esteem increase can come more easily. Since Mars also connects to your sex drive, there can be greater focus on your sexuality, and you may become more sexually independent. Lilith refused to submit to Adam, so you may refuse to be forced into anything, to be anything, solely for the sake of others, and may examine ways in the past you felt like you were forced and how you can fight that now. When your progressed Mars is retrograde conjunct your natal Black Moon Lilith, this can bring that fated, destined, karmic energy to what you're driven to fight for and what you channel your warrior energy into. This aspect can last for about 4-5 years. Then we have progressed Ceres, and Ceres is a dwarf planet that rules nourishment. With your progressed Ceres conjunct Black Moon Lilith, you may speak up or take a stand for nourishment, nurturing, and support. You can fight for better treatment of others and yourself, to have more of what you need, and provide better security. When you see insecurity and resources denied, you can get riled up and work to correct that. How you stand up may be a little more muted, a little more measured, with Ceres. Instead of being super loud, you may find a way to get your point across quietly, or even by doing something that seems unrelated but leads to the exact outcome you want. Ceres also connects to the mother since Ceres is a mother who is denied her child for half the year in mythology, so there can be extra focus on a challenging relationship with a mother or mother figure, especially one who was largely absent, neglectful, or inconsistent. If your progressed Ceres is retrograde when conjunct your natal Black Moon Lilith, once again, this can bring fated, destined, karmic energy into the mix. This aspect can last for about 5-7 years. As for progressed Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, Pluto, and Chiron, these are the slow-moving planets, and they don't move too much from their position in the natal chart. If they conjunct your natal Black Moon Lilith in progression, that usually means they're already conjunct your Black Moon Lilith in the natal chart and it's just coming to exact. The time right when it's exact is usually when it's going to be extra strong, and you can feel it most. It can prompt you to speak up and take a stand in some way, to find more self-worth, and to discover inner power. This can be expansive with Jupiter, may come with lessons to learn with Saturn, spark sudden developments and unexpected change with Uranus, connect to your spiritual development or karmic baggage with Neptune, trigger a transformation with Pluto, or prompt healing with Chiron.

I've been focusing on Ceres in a variety of ways to get you covered, and now we're going to focus on Ceres Returns. How does this impact you? Returns in Astrology
A return occurs when a planet or body returns to the exact location it was at in the Zodiac when you were born. This is often a time of heightened energy and possible major developments for the planet or body.
You can create a return chart, which is a chart for the exact moment of the return, and this can provide extra information about the return. The return chart can be in effect until the next time the planet or body returns. Ceres in Astrology
Ceres is a dwarf planet, like Pluto, and is the planet of nourishment. In your natal chart, Ceres shows how you get and give support, and deal with resources and finances. In transit, Ceres impacts support and nourishment at the moment.
About Ceres Returns:
You experience a Ceres Return when transit (moving) Ceres returns to the exact location it was at when you were born (the location in your natal chart). This can have a direct impact on nourishment and resources in your life.
When you have your Ceres Return, this may bring developments with support, money, or resources. You may need to give support to someone in a big way, or ask for support in a big way. You may have a big opportunity for a new resource, or have to use an existing resource in some way, or lose a resource you have. You may have financial opportunities, make important financial decisions, or experience financial changes. This is often seen through the sign your Ceres is in and the house your natal Ceres resides. This is where you can get the biggest focus. The return chart can show potential developments, if it'll be a beneficial or challenging time, depending on what's happening in the return chart. Your Ceres Return will occur roughly every 4 1/2 years, so the return chart will last that long. Sometimes you may experience 3 returns if transit Ceres retrogrades over your natal Ceres position. The final return is usually the one that sticks, however if you have your natal Ceres retrograde, the one that occurs during the retrograde may feel stronger for you. You'll want to create return charts for all 3 and follow them for a little while to see which rings true for you. Your Ceres Return can trigger energy that is present in your natal chart with your natal Ceres. If your natal Ceres is conjunct natal Pluto, for instance, you may be prompted to make a major transformation of some sort, or have to deal with other people's money (taxes, debts, loans, inheritances, joint finances, etc.). If your natal Ceres is square natal Saturn, you may need to address issues of lack, or some Saturn lessons. If your natal Ceres is anaretic, you may experience massive energy fueling you to take big action with support, resources, or finances. If your natal Ceres is intercepted, this can make the energy stronger for you so you can become more aware consciously of your Ceres (interceptions tend to operate subconsciously and are cut off energy). These are just some examples, but the condition and nature of your natal Ceres can give an idea of what pops up. The best way to use your Ceres Return is to focus on using your Ceres in a positive, healthy, productive way. Look for issues with your natal Ceres, and think about how you can address them. Look for positives with your natal Ceres, and think about how you can make the most of them. Work on being supportive of others in a healthy way, and work on making sure you're getting support too. Look around at areas of your life that need some grounding energy, and work on that. With Ceres connecting to money, it can also be a good idea to make some plans around your Ceres Return to tackle money matters. Get something under control financially, make investments, or gather financial information. Work on financial opportunities, and try to set yourself up well. Right at the return, you might want to plan for a short break to relax, indulge, and maybe binge some chocolate! Suggested Reading: Transit Ceres in the Houses 
The first house in astrology is a house that is full of energy and excitement. It's the very first house, the very beginning of our houses, and where it all starts for you. First House in Astrology & Your Natal Chart
Most astrology charts have 12 houses, and each rule different parts of life. Your natal chart is a snapshot of the locations of the planets, other bodies, and 12 houses in the Zodiac at the moment you're born and from the location you're born at. Your natal houses each rule different parts of your life and personality.
The first house is naturally ruled by Mars, ruler of energy and drive. Mars is the fiery planet, and needs constant movement forward. At-a-Glance First House Keywords:
First House in Astrology: New Beginnings
The first house is the very first house out of the 12 houses, so it relates to new beginnings. This is the house where new ventures, new projects, and new journeys begin. There can be excitement for it, and triggers and catalysts can be strong.
First House in Astrology: Outer Self
The first house is part of the triad along with your Sun and Moon, and this trio are the basis for you, who you are, and your life. The Sun is your true self, the Moon is your emotional self, and the first house is your outer self.
This is how you come across when you meet people. We all wear masks when we're out with others and strangers, and that mask is your first house. This can be shown via the sign your first house is in, but also via planets located in your first house. First House in Astrology: Energy
The first house is a house full of energy and enthusiasm. It's the first house, so it's brand new, full of zest for life, and ready to go. This is not a patient house, it's one that wants action, and now!
First House in Astrology: Initiative
The first house can show taking initiative for what you want for yourself. It's less focused on others and more about you, and your own desires.
You can take the energy and enthusiasm you have and use that to make things happen. You don't need to wait for others, or for permission. On the downside, this can mean impatience is an issue. First House in Astrology: Attention
Since the first house connects to your outer self and how you come across, it also can be a place that gets a lot of external attention. This is attention you can get for what you put out there yourself, and you can be comfortable with the attention you get.
First House in Astrology: Self-Focus
The first house is focused on you, and not so much about others. Since this is a basic part of who you are in astrology, it can be an area where you're giving yourself attention, focusing on your own wants and needs.
Your relationship with yourself can be found here as well, and how you connect with yourself, or can in a healthy way. First House in Astrology: Gut Instincts
The twelfth house rules intuition, the fourth house rules emotional instincts, but the first house connects with gut instincts, the very first thing you feel. You can jump to act based on these instincts.
Whether or not they're actually honed can depend on the condition of your first house as well as your natal Mars. Where Your First House Energy is Found
For everyone, look to the Zodiac sign your first house falls in. The areas of life ruled by that sign are where you have gut instincts, energy, focus on yourself, and take initiative for new beginnings. Also look to the natural planetary ruler of your first house (the natural planetary ruler of the Zodiac sign your first house falls in) as this can also connect to the 1st house energy (and is also usually considered your chart ruler).
If you have any natal planets in your first house, this can make the first house energy a lot stronger for you. That planet can impact how you come across, and you may seem more like that than the sign sometimes. Transit (moving) planets touring your first house can bring some temporary energy for first house matters. It can be especially strong when it's transit Mars (bringing extra energy and drive), transit Saturn (restricting you so you learn), transit Uranus (causing personal changes), transit Pluto (bringing transformations), or transit Chiron (focusing on healing ego wounds). Transit planets aspecting your natal 1st house ruler can stimulate first house energy as well, and conjunctions, square, and oppositions by transit Saturn, Uranus, Pluto, or Chiron can be especially challenging and require a lot of focus on yourself. A Strong First House in Astrology
Some may have a super strong natal first house. This can be the case for you if you have:
- a stellium (3+ planets) in the 1st house - your Sun, Moon, or Chiron in the 1st house - your North or South Node in your 1st house - your 1st house ruler in the 1st house - your 1st house cusp or ruler anaretic (at 29 degrees) - retrograde Mercury, Venus, or Mars in the 1st house or ruling the 1st house When you have a strong 1st house, you can give yourself extra attention, and prioritize your own wants and needs. This can be good, until it develops into selfishness or being an egomaniac. You need to make sure you're considering others. You can feel extra drawn to new beginnings, and may have little trouble pursuing new ventures. The problem is that without other things in the chart to ground you, you may not see things through to the end, and have a lot started, but nothing finished. You may be someone who gets a lot of attention for your personality, looks, or some other way in which you come across. You may need to work more on having a rounded personality and life, and not focusing solely on how you come across. Suggested Reading: The 1st House page for general interpretations 
July 2022 comes with a full moon in disciplined Capricorn and a new moon in creative Leo. What will they bring for us? What is a New Moon?
A new moon occurs when the transit (moving) Sun and Moon are in the exact same position in the Zodiac (called a conjunction). New moons are related to beginnings, have high energy, and are enthusiastic.
What is a Full Moon?
A full moon occurs when the transit (moving) Sun and Moon are in the exact opposite positions in the Zodiac (called an opposition). Full moons are related to endings, culminations, and are emotional energy.
Full Moon in Capricorn: July 13th 2022 (2:38PM ET/11:38AM PT)
Capricorn is the highest part of the Zodiac, so it corresponds to our goals, progress, and success. Full moons are culminations, the results of our work, so a Capricorn full moon means we can see the results of what we've done to make progress with our goals and achieve success. Some may hit new heights, hit their stride, get recognition, and feel you're on the right road. Others may experience setbacks, blocks, and have to change course.
We may have extra responsibilities with this full moon, and we have to work on managing this in a healthy way. It can be easy to take on too much, and then we get overwhelmed and break down. Or, it can be easy to avoid taking responsibilities seriously, and then things fall apart. We need to find that happy middle. We can focus on the direction we're going in and how we're going to get to where we ultimately want to be. This can be a good time to let go and release things that have been holding us back or stand in the way of our achievement, if possible. If not possible, we can work to find a way around, and to manage as best as we can. This full moon occurs at 21 degrees 21 minutes Capricorn. The aspects to this full moon are: Conjunction: 19 degrees 21 minutes - 23 degrees 21 minutes Capricorn Sextile: 19 degrees 21 minutes - 23 degrees 21 minutes Scorpio or Pisces Square: 19 degrees 21 minutes - 23 degrees 21 minutes Aries or Libra Trine: 19 degrees 21 minutes - 23 degrees 21 minutes Taurus or Virgo Opposition: 19 degrees 21 minutes - 23 degrees 21 minutes Cancer New Moon in Leo: July 28th 2022 (1:55PM ET/10:55AM PT)
Leo new moons are great times for fun, joy, and heartfelt connections. Leo is a sign that doesn't want to be serious, and this can be a nice break coming out of the Capricorn full moon. We can make time for our hobbies, for our loved ones, and to connect to our hearts. Have fun and make time for fun, because that's important too.
Leo is a creative sign, so we can work on new creative projects and ventures, and we can get attention for the creative work we do. We may infuse creativity into the mundane, and this can help us stay focused, otherwise focus may be completely lacking. This can be a good time for romance, and those who are single and make more time for playing the field and having fun without being too worried about outcomes, while those in a relationship can bring the spark back. The new moon is widely trine (positive aspect, 4 signs away) transit (moving) Jupiter in Aries as Jupiter turns retrograde (appears to move backward) on the same day, and is widely conjunct (aligned with) Ceres in Leo. Jupiter retrograde can slow down opportunities and give us a chance to focus on old baggage and karmic sludge that needs to be worked out, so we may use this Leo new moon to do that with issues around love. Any heart blocks can get tackled, and we can have an easier time doing that with the trine to Jupiter. The conjunction to Ceres can make us more nurturing and supportive, and we can be this way with others and with ourselves.
