These are global energies of the Black moon in Sagittarius or in the 9th 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.
Spiritual compensation
The black moon in the 9th house or in Sagittarius may cause certain fears to become attached to social integration or to these people’s relationship with the divine, the sacred, and the feeling of verticality when faced with that which is “greater than oneself.” Discovering another culture or life philosophy may play a major role in these people’s lives and allow them to evolve in a significant way and open up.
Here under the rulership of Jupiter, the planet that represents forces of social integration, the black moon may have a complex but powerful relationship with power!
For example, I have been struck by the number of top politicians who have been marked by these energies (many American presidents and high-profile leaders from around the world), which seems to demonstrate the connection of these forces of Lilith’s shadow to a rise to power.
With this positioning, beliefs and opinions may be very deep-seated and quite often dogmatic and proselytic, and they may often be asserted rather aggressively with an attitude of, “I know this instinctively and I am in the right, so follow me.”
For that matter, we often find various configurations here that involve and imply a poor karmic track record in relation to the notions of capability and power; either there were excesses and abuses of this (in terms of domination, manipulation, and controlling other people) or this was directly connected to shortcomings, frustrations, or fears of rejection and exile, and it will be important overall in this incarnation to manage to find a balance with these forces (otherwise these people risk paying for this later on).
With Sagittarius’s influences, the notion of knowledge and a quest for meaning is often very central, and this black moon highlightes this on a karmic level, so there may be a powerful metaphysical examination and a great need to acquire knowledge, perhaps sometimes by opening up to other cultures along the way.
The way in which these energies are used will be very sensitive in terms of the upper hand that they may give these people over others socially, and in terms of what these people will do with this!
If this is expressed “positively,” we may find it directly related to the notion of “transmission to others,” and this may make people with this positioning very good “teachers,” people who have a combination of wisdom and social intelligence and who are likely to embody a true, living model for others in society.
If it is expressed more “negatively,” this may bring out certain needs to destroy previously established dogmas, for example through fierce atheism or radical nihilism, energies which may be quite mortifying, but which also simply demonstrate the need to “find a new faith.”
We may also find incredible talents for social manipulation here (which is why this is so widespread in politics), such that these people may as a general rule coat their ideas with a thick varnish of knowledge, which would be likely to easily impress others.
This position may lead to some degree of general cynicism about certain conventions and establishments, and it may favor the notion of being “self-taught” and recognizing the value of personal experience over the pursuit of a degree or simply being a cog in a machine.
These influences may by their very nature be quite Promethean, so they may lead to many confrontations with figures of social authority and give these people a need to rebel, emancipate themselves, and acknowledge their own hierarchization.
It is inevitably very important to analyze the overall strength of Jupiter in these people’s birth charts, because this planet may greatly clarify the expression of these karmic forces, including their potential excesses, depending on whether the planet is in tension or not.
In some cases, this position will require these people to open up to another culture so that they can evolve, and also so that they can better perpetuate their own personal culture and roots down the road.
We also find qualities related to “representing other people” and being almost like a social—and sometimes quite radical—megaphone for those who these people judge to be weaker or relatively defenseless, and inevitably this schema will give people with this positioning considerable power, as well as some degree of extremism in their ideas and philosophies.
