Astrologer Antonia Langsdorf breaks down the Venus-Black Moon Lilith opposition: Venus is refined feminine energy, Lilith is raw instinct and nature-linked power. She argues for integrating both rather than choosing appearance over instinct. Lilith cycles through each sign in roughly nine months, with a full return every nine years.

Hello, everyone. Well, I am here with Antonia Langsdorf Merriman, which has been my dear friend for many, many years. And she is an amazing German astrologer and she does a lot of work with women and talking about goddess energy. Yes, I love that. That's the best way to put it. Goddess energy. She works with Lilith and Venus. And look at her. Wouldn't you know that she's all about that. But she has some interesting things that she's discovered through her work with. Working with the energies of Venus. And we were talking just now about how Venus is coming together with Rahu. You see, in Vedic astrology, the aspects are the same as Western, just in different signs. But really the aspects and the conjunctions, oppositions are so powerful. They're everything. The planets are the energy. So I want you to tell them a little bit about what you've been working on and all your discoveries about Lilith and Venus and what it means to us.
All right now we're going into an interesting aspect between Venus and Lilic, going to form an opposition. And for me that means that Venus by Western, it was in Pisces, it's in Aries now, but it's forming this opposition to Lilith. And what it means is, to my thinking.
That Lilith reminds Venus to not space out, but to consider the spirit of nature. Because Lilith is in Virgo right now in Western, which to me explains that we should be considerate of the needs of Mother Nature and of our instinctive nature. And it's so interesting. Venus to me is more the refined goddess of love. And she knows how to seduce people and how to look nice and all that. And there is this like, the pure instinctive nature. So when these two come together, it's like two poles. We got the refined energy of Venus, the seductive energy, and we got this natural, instinctive nature of Lilith. And for me, Lilith is the goddess that walks barefoot. No, high heels. Heels is in high heels. You know, high heels, dresses, I get it. And Lilith is her sister. And saying, okay, you can wear your high heels, but don't forget about the instinctive nature of.
And when they come together like this, you want to live both powers.
You know, that's interesting.
You know, you want to be considerate of your instinctive nature and your needs as a woman, as well as, you know, being seductive and all that, right? But being seductive does not mean that you forget about your original needs that you have, right? You're not supposed to.
Go over that. You're not supposed to forget about that. And just to Want to please other people is like contradictionary to people pleaser. It's about me, how I feel, how I want to be authentic. So it's very interesting how these forces come together. I think it's. It's a very powerful phase for.
And you know what I feel about you, you're always empowering other women. I love that about you. You know, you know how to tell people, women, what they're all about, how to empower them, especially with love and sensuality and all of those things. You're all about that. You're really amazing.
Yeah, I love it. I want to like, if you feel like walking barefoot because you're not comfortable in your high heels, that's fine.
Who is?
Although they look good, they look fabulous. They're like the pedestal for the woman to. For the man to look up to them. But you also, you want to keep your distinctive nature. You want to keep your basic feelings about being human or about being a woman.
That's interesting the way you're merging or trying to combine the two, which really is the reality of how things are.
Right.
You know, I think that makes them real.
I think it makes a woman more powerful if she does not deny her basic instinctive nature.
I see.
And it's also in the man too. Men also have original instincts. And it's very interesting. I get asked a lot, what does Lilith in the chart of men mean? I say, well, usually men who have a strong Lilith, they are attracted to strong women, but sometimes they fight them, you know, because they think, oh, that's too much for me.
Now, is Lilith the dark moon?
The black moon?
The black moon, yeah. Okay.
And it's actually, it's is a point of energy. It's a sensitive point. It's not a celestial body. It's a sensitive point. It's similar to the nodes because it calculates from the orbit of the moon around the Earth.
I see, Interesting.
That is like the nodes. So it has like a nine month. One Lilith return is nine years. And Lilith takes nine months to a sign. So nine years, it's like almost half a noval cycle. Yes, it is.
So Lilith combines also the gestation period of eternal.
Exactly. And so Lilith combines the forces of the earth and the forces of the moon. So it has a relationship to the instinctive power of Mother Nature as well. And one thing that I think about Lilith is it also points to the fact that we are trying to.
To tame mother Nature, like to, you know, to obey the needs of civilization, all that. Right. But sometimes Mother Nature said no. Well, it's getting too much. You know, it is.
It is really kind of silly when you think about all the things that we've invented that we think is glamorous and beautiful and very painful. Yes. But we do it anyway. It's kind of ridiculous when you really think about the reality. Being a human being. Yeah. Right.
And I think it's very good when Venus and Earth come together that you kind of try to see what part of me is really raw and really original and what part is the refined part. That is Venus for me.
It's also.
Lilith is like, in the Bible, it was considered Adam's first wife.
Really?
Yeah, before Eve came in.
Oh, wow.
And Lilith was the one who said, I'm not going to obey the rules.
Neither did Eve.
Does that matter?
Does that reflect on women or something?
But Eve tried to does it a seductive way. And Liz said no.
No. Okay. She's not real.
Yeah, she's not real.
So right now they're opposed to.
Yes.
What are the dates on this?
And how long are they?
How slow does L moves about?
Don't ask me about numbers. I don't know.
But I mean, you know that they're coming up and. And it's an opposition.
Yeah. And it's in intubation about these days. It was the end of March into April. Okay, that's good news. Yeah, I got it. They're gonna have a nice conject connection at the end of the month.
Where we have Beltane. You know, Beltane is May 1st, is that.
Feast of fruition, and this feast of procreating. And Lilith is going to be very strong.
So it sounds like the feminine force is so strong right now.
Yes.
That's amazing. Well, this has been an amazing talk. I've learned so much about Lilith and what it's truly about. You've made that very clear, and I understand it. And we all need more of this balancing. I think, of the Venus and the Lilith energy, because we can't go one extreme or the other.
Exactly.
And that's a beautiful thing. And when they come into opposition, this is the time for balance with these energies. Exactly. I love it.
That's what it is. Well, thank you for every joy I.
Learned from you today. And Antonia's my dear friend, and we have these conversations all the time. You'd love to be a fly on the wall when we're together. But thank you, everyone, for listening. It's been a joy. Thank you.
