Something deep is stirring in the collective on March 26, 2025, as Black Moon Lilith enters Scorpio, one of the most intense, transformative signs of the zodiac. This cosmic shift invites us to journey into our own underworlds, where we meet our most raw, primal selves and reclaim the power that lies hidden there.
Let’s break it down.
Who (or what) is Lilith?
In astrology, Black Moon Lilith isn't a planet, but a point in space specifically, the lunar apogee, or the farthest point of the Moon's orbit from Earth. But symbolically? Lilith is loaded with meaning. She’s the wild, untamed feminine archetype. The one who refuses to be controlled. She represents where we reject conformity, where we carry shame, and where we burn to reclaim our autonomy.
In your chart, Lilith points to where you’ve been silenced or where you're ready to roar.
Scorpio Energy: The Depths of Transformation
Now, enter Scorpio. This water sign is no stranger to intensity. Ruled by both Mars and Pluto, Scorpio rules the realms of sex, death, rebirth, secrets, shadow work, and emotional alchemy. It doesn’t skim the surface.
it dives into the deep end and asks you to come with it, no lifejacket required.
So, what happens when Lilith already fierce, raw, and defiant steps into Scorpio’s mysterious lair?
Themes We’ll Be Feeling
This transit is going to stir the cauldron. Here's what to expect:
Radical Shadow Work
Old wounds around power, sexuality, and betrayal may resurface not to torment you, but to liberate you. This is a powerful time to confront what’s been repressed or denied, especially around intimacy, taboo desires, and control dynamics.
Sexual Liberation
Lilith in Scorpio can spark awakenings in our sensual and erotic selves. We’re invited to explore what turns us on not just physically, but emotionally and spiritually. This is about embracing your desires without shame.
Power and Control
Where do you give your power away? Where do you fear losing control? Expect these questions to echo loudly. Scorpio’s lessons often come through intensity and truth-telling. Lilith demands we stand in our sovereignty, especially in places where we've felt dominated or dismissed.
Witch Wounds and Sacred Rebellion
This transit also taps into the collective feminine wound especially for those who’ve been punished for being too loud, too sexual, too emotional, too much. Lilith in Scorpio is a cosmic reclamation. A sacred rebellion. A spell of remembrance.
The Invitation
Over the next nine months (Lilith stays in Scorpio until December 23, 2025), you might find yourself:
Drawn to deeper shadow work or therapy.
Exploring sacred sexuality or body-based healing
Setting boundaries where you once stayed silent.
Channelling your rage, passion, or pain into art or activism
Trusting your intuition, even when it leads you into the unknown.
This is not a gentle transit, but it is powerful. Think of it as a cosmic exorcism: purging what no longer serves so your soul can emerge more whole, more embodied, more awake.

Here’s a set of deep, reflective journal prompts inspired by the themes of Lilith entering Scorpio: power, passion, shadow, sexuality, emotional alchemy, and sacred rebellion. These are designed to support inner inquiry, emotional release, and soul reclamation.
1. Power & Control
Prompt: Where in my life do I feel powerless, and why?
Why it matters:Lilith in Scorpio brings hidden power struggles to the surface internally and externally. This prompt helps you pinpoint where your energy feels blocked or manipulated, especially in relationships, work, or within yourself. Acknowledging where you feel powerless is the first step in reclaiming agency.
How to work with it:
Map out areas of your life (e.g., finances, intimacy, self-worth) and rate your sense of control in each.
Ask: Is this a true loss of power or a story I’ve internalized?
Create an “empowerment list”: one small action you can take in each area to reclaim your authority.
2. Shadow & Shame
Prompt: What aspects of myself do I try to hide, repress, or deny?
Why it matters:Scorpio is the zodiac’s truth-digger, and Lilith thrives in the parts of us we’ve been taught to fear or reject. This prompt uncovers the inner exiles parts you’ve deemed unlovable or unsafe to express which hold the key to your authenticity and inner wholeness.
How to work with it:
Do “mirror work” by saying out loud something you usually hide from others (e.g., “I’m angry,” “I want more,” “I feel jealous”) and notice how your body responds.
Use art, poetry, or movement to express a shadow part safely.
Explore where that part originated. Was it from childhood? A relationship? Cultural conditioning?
3. Sexuality & Desire
Prompt: What does empower, authentic sensuality feel like for me?
Why it matters:Lilith is the fierce voice of sexual sovereignty, and Scorpio governs erotic transformation. This prompt invites you to rewrite the narrative of desire from shame to sacredness and to embody pleasure as your birthright.
How to work with it:
Reflect on past sexual experiences. Which felt empowering? Which felt disconnected? Why?
Create a sensual ritual: light candles, anoint your body with oil, dance or meditate on what brings you pleasure not for performance, but for presence.
Speak or write your desires without censoring them. Let your truth be witnessed by you, first.
4. Emotional Depth & Alchemy
Prompt: What pain am I ready to transform into wisdom?
Why it matters:Scorpio is the sign of death and rebirth, and Lilith represents the unhealed wound that fuels your inner fire. This prompt supports deep emotional alchemy turning your pain into power, your grief into guidance.
How to work with it:
Write a letter to your past self during a time of suffering. What did you learn? What are you still holding onto?
Burn, bury, or ceremonially release this letter as a symbolic death of old pain.
Anchor the wisdom gained in a new mantra or affirmation. Example: “From this, I rise stronger.”
5. Sacred Rebellion & Liberation
Prompt: If I trusted my wild inner voice fully, what would I do next?
Why it matters:Lilith is the archetype of rebellion for truth and self-honouring. Scorpio gives it the courage to dig deep and act. This prompt cracks open your intuitive knowing the voice that’s been whispering under the noise.
How to work with it:
Free-write a list of things your inner voice has been saying lately no matter how unrealistic or “irrational.”
Choose one small way to follow that voice this week (e.g., setting a boundary, starting a new practice, making a bold ask).
Track how it feels to honour your wild knowing. That’s where liberation begins.
Guided Meditation: Reclaiming the Shadow – A Journey with Lilith in Scorpio
Take a moment to settle in. This is your space, free from expectation, noise, or judgment. As Lilith moves into Scorpio, we’re being invited to get real with ourselves. To go deep. To touch the parts of us we’ve tucked away our wildness, our truth, our shadow and to bring them back into the light. This isn’t about fixing yourself. It’s about remembering who you are underneath the masks.
Let’s begin.
Find a comfy spot where you won’t be disturbed. You can sit or lie down whatever feels good for you. Now gently close your eyes and take a deep breath in through your nose… And slowly let it go through your mouth.
Take another breath slower this time. Let your shoulders drop. Let your jaw soften. Let your belly expand. Feel your body. Feel the ground beneath you. You’re safe here. You’re supported. You don’t have to hold it all together.
Let’s go inward now.
The Descent
Imagine you’re standing at the top of an old stone staircase. It winds downward into the earth, quiet and still. You don’t know exactly what’s down there but something in you knows it’s time to find out. With each breath, you start to move down.
Ten… Nine… Eight… Each step takes you deeper into your inner world. Seven… Six… Five… It’s safe to go deep. Four… Three… Two… Almost there. One. You arrive at a heavy wooden door.
There’s something on the other side something real. A version of you that remembers everything you’ve ever tried to forget. Place your hand on the door.Breathe. When you’re ready, open it.
The Meeting
You’re in a candlelit room. It’s quiet. Sacred. Powerful. Standing across from you is someone familiar. She’s fierce. Wild. Sensual. Raw.
This is your Lilith self the part of you that refused to be tamed. She might look angry. Or calm. Or radiant. Whatever she looks like, she’s here for you. Look into her eyes. Take a breath.
Now ask her, gently and honestly:“What truth have I been afraid to claim?”Just listen. Let it come.
Then ask:“What part of me is ready to rise?”Let whatever comes forward come without judgment.
Now reach out and take her hand. Let her step into you. Merge with you. You don’t need to exile her anymore. She is part of you and always has been. You are whole.
Affirmations of Reclamation Feel these in your body as you speak to them or hear them.
I take back the power I once gave away.
I honour the part of me that knows what she wants.
My shadow isn’t something to fear it’s where my magic lives.
I release shame and I speak my truth.
I trust my desire. I trust my voice. I trust myself.
I don’t need to be light to be worthy. I am the keeper of the dark.
I am whole. I am holy. I am home.
Coming Back
Now, slowly start to return. Picture yourself walking back up the staircase carrying everything you’ve remembered with you. One step at a time. One breath at a time. You’re not the same person who walked down. And that’s the point.
When you reach the top, take a deep breath in through the nose… And out through the mouth. Gently move your fingers. Your toes. Roll your shoulders. Stretch if it feels good. And when you’re ready open your eyes.
Closing Words
Lilith in Scorpio isn’t about surface-level change. It’s about truth. Depth. Liberation. You might feel things rise over the next few weeks emotions, desires, old wounds. Let them rise. You’re ready now. You’re no longer hiding from your power you’re owning it.
Final Thought
Lilith in Scorpio isn’t here to play nice. She’s here to help you transform pain into power, secrets into truth, and shadows into sacred gold. This is a potent time to walk your path with fierce authenticity and trust that what is unearthed now will ultimately set you free.
