The Astrology of Late April & May 2024: Set Yourself Free with Lilith in Virgo

Over the coming weeks, all the way through late May, Lilith in Virgo is working with major astrological transits to help you break free from perfectionism and the need to perform for validation.

This includes breaking free from restrictive societal and cultural expectations, oppressive standards, glass ceilings and exploitation, your own insecurities that would have you under-valuing yourself, over-giving, and constantly efforting (whether in relationships or in career and workplace) to prove your worth.

This is going to bring up some hard questions along the lines of what we unconsciously "sell" ourselves for and who determines the terms of that sale. These are questions we don't like to think about, but with Lilith transiting Virgo, the sign associated with the 6th house, some ugly truths about the history of society are getting stirred, and we may well find residue and remnants in our modern lives that we'd like to turn a blind eye to. The 6th house is now the domain of everyday work, employees and employers, but it used to be the house of servants, slaves, and their "owners."

Lilith in Virgo is here to help you put an end to constantly running after that "good enough" carrot, supporting you in stepping out of that old prison of letting others determine your worth and what you need to do to be enough and survive.  This is about you stepping into a new dimension where you are the one who determines what you get to have, how much, and when.

The truth is, if you've downloaded a "not good enough" belief, you will simply never be good enough.

There is no "good enough" - that's why this belief is so debilitating and damaging.

What's "good enough?" Can you define it? No - because it's subjective.

That's also why it works so well to keep us down, playing small, easy to control, and not asking for too much. It makes us so much more....manageable.

But Lilith doesn't care about being easy or pleasing or manageable, and she's here over the coming month to help you break free from that prison too.

This awakening and upleveling started all the way back around equinox, March 20th and 21st.  It may have come up most prominently in relationships, maybe feeling under appreciated or taken advantage of, suddenly feeling restless and dissatisfied with the status quo.

It is tied to the spring eclipses - the south node full moon eclipse in Libra that was 3/25 & the north node new moon eclipse in Aries that was 4/8.

It is also tied to Mercury retrograde in Aries working with the Chiron, the wounded healer, helping us to heal old wounds of self and be more self-assertive, and the north node of soul growth in Aries (and that means it is also tied to the south node of past and release in Libra helping us release those old unhealthy relationships patterns and dynamics).

This is all about stepping into our inherent sense of self value, and ditching for good all of those coping mechanisms and habits that come from not valuing ourselves.

This is also strongly tied to the new beginning in Taurus that's coming with this weekend's Jupiter-Uranus conjunction - that alignment is happening at 21° Taurus, while Black Moon Lilith sits at 21° Virgo - a supportive aspect that speeds things up.

Jupiter is about growth and expansion and abundance, while Uranus is about innovation, upset, and breaking free from the status quo while moving into higher consciousness.

Uranus is the planet that comes after Saturn - Saturn is the 3D, how it's always been done. We can even associate Saturn & Capricorn with all things patriarchal. It's conditional thinking, authority, rules, limits and restrictions. Uranus is the first of the trans-personal planets and ruler of the 4D. The bridge between the two is Chiron - the core wound to self and the healing of it, the shaman.

With Chiron at play in Aries with Mercury retrograde, helping us heal core wounds and rebirth a new sense of self, leading us into this weekend's major new cycle beginning marked by the Jupiter-Uranus conjunction, trine Lilith, we are being supported in truly breaking free and breaking through now into something totally new.

And that's not all. Mars in Pisces is in supportive aspect to this weekend's Jupiter-Uranus conjunction, and will be opposing Lilith in Virgo.

By May 15th, the sun, light of consciousness, in Taurus, will be making that same supportive aspect to Lilith in Virgo that the Jupiter-Uranus conjunction this weekend is making, really shining a light on this.

By May 26th, Mars, strong in its own sign of Aries will arrive at 19° Aries, the degree of the 4/8 Aries new moon eclipse, and that's going to really spark whatever began for you during the eclipse portal.

Don't be surprised if big emotions (spurred by triggered insecurities and fears) show up with the Scorpio full moon square Pluto on 4/23) - it's all part of the process. It has to come to the surface to be released. You have to feel it to heal it.

It's time. It's your time. It's time to break free from the prison you've been living in, step into your truth and authenticity, and start claiming the love and abundance that you are meant for.
