These are global energies of the Black moon in Pisces or in the 12nd House which must be nuanced according to your birth chart, see the article Black Moon in birth chart; see also the article on the general interpretation of the Black moon.
It represents an important karmic factor, at the same time a seed of incarnation (see the Triangle of incarnation), a source of attractions, compulsions, and also of fears, introversions.
The black moon is one of the attributes of the Anima in the chart, and as such it can indicate a Projection of the latter…
As the black moon remains 273 days per sign, its position in the houses is more telling for the personality, the archetypal color of the sign modulates according to it. Consequently, focus on the house impacted in the interpretation, the analysis of the sign must be subordinated to it.
Compensation through development of consciousness
The black moon in the 12th house or in Pisces may give people great psychological depth, but this may also be excessive and be likely to translate into emotional instability due to these people being overly receptive, unfocused, and inefficient: there is fear attached to the structuring/dissolution of the ego and to the expression of devotion, helpfulness, and sacrifice.
This is a very complicated position for this karmic factor; since it is linked to the unconscious, it may lead to a somewhat significant feeling of guilt and responsibility, as well as many fears in connection with destructuring the self, these people’s environment, their world, and their emotions, with a rather distinctive relationship with “emptiness” and the void. This may translate in extreme, varied ways, for example into a very nihilistic personality, but also into one that is more mystical, more connected with the Absolute and transcendence, and more directly conscious of the universal monad and the constant interconnectedness of everything.
The dream world will be very important here, so it will be very important for these people to let their imagination express itself and allow for emotional expression (in particular through various types of art), but this may also for example translate into the development of medium-like qualities, such that these people have innate connections with the collective unconscious, so they will have an easier time perceiving social and metaphysical currents before everyone else.
It is important to be on your guard with this position, because “an expansion of consciousness” may be sought out at all costs. In terms of positives, this will of course be favorable in terms of spiritual evolution, for example triggering synchronicities and forcing the process of Individuation to occur on an emotional level; unfortunately, however, we may also encounter various types of excess or abuse, involving alcohol, drugs, medications, or sleep (these people will have to be particularly careful with anything that sends them to sleep, anesthetizes them, or disconnects them from their waking consciousness, leading them to enter into other, hidden realities).
It is important with this positioning not to flee from reality, but instead to try to emphasize forces of earth as much as possible, especially Saturnian forces, in order to be able to create structure, give shape to all of the powerful receptiveness that is generated, and afterwards even find a social and even professional use for it, so to speak.
In fact, it is not rare for people with this black moon to have a social function or occupation related to a medical, psychological, artistic, or social field, or related to charity, aid, devotion, or anything else that may be represented by the various Neptunian analogies.
With Lilith in this position, it’s almost as though an amplifier were plugged in to emotional, unconscious forces, which may also easily translate into cyclothymia or Depression, through underlying melancholy, leading these people to more often be forlorn and psychologically unstable.
Of course, depending on the various aspects that it may form, it is especially important to beware of destructive, negative, or violent forces, which may be more directly and readily mixed with the psyche here.
These energies may very much favor introspective qualities, or even psychoanalytical qualities, though they also lead to more isolation and withdrawal: it will be tempting for these people to retreat into their own world, their own illusions, and their own reality, with their own rules. This is a very effective way of protecting oneself, but it is also dangerous when confrontations with reality are inevitable (which is why these people need to try to develop their earth energies at the same time).
It is necessary to deal with the notion of the sacrifices that these people are willing to make for others: to what degree will we erase our ego to make a sacrifice, and how much will we be receptive and open ourselves up to the fragility and pain in the world? These are important questions, because we are right at the heart of this position’s antagonism!
The black moon intrinsically constitutes one of our karmic germs of incarnation, and as such it is one of the central foundations that form our personality. Here, though, at least some of these foundations are confronted with forces of dissolution, and we need to strike a balance that allows for our individuality to flourish.
In some cases, this may also require that we rediscover the parts of ourselves that are connected to Neptunian forces by relearning the qualities of selflessness and opening up to others, and for that matter various types of volunteer work may be very helpful for developing these qualities and fighting against certain fears related to the expression of these forces.
This type of positioning may allow for a significant karmic purge during this incarnation, so it may require that we bring certain sensitive elements to the surface so that we can deal with them, as a factor that evokes the alchemical process of “solutio.” We also know that these energies are sure to nicely complement the Plutonian forces of “calcinatio:” pressure and intense inner psychological heat with the aim of burning inherited remnants of a past time.
It will be important to examine your dreams and generally try as best you can to understand all of your unconscious communication, because the psyche has things to say, and it needs to make itself understood and expel certain trauma.
Eventually, in the end this probably will require building a “new ego,” one which is galvanized, is more transcendent, has understood the path of its evolution, and is also ready for a new cycle where it has gotten rid of old burdens.
The karmic angle of analysis for a birth chart is obviously particularly important to take into account, study, and develop (analyzing the lunar nodes, the various karmic rulers, etc.).
