What this calculator returns

This calculator finds your Mean Black Moon Lilith and Sidereal Lilith by sign, house, and degree. Use an exact birth time and location for the house result; date-only entries can usually find the sign unless Lilith changed signs near your birth date.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need my birth time to calculate my Lilith sign?

For the sign alone, no. Lilith moves slowly enough (about 40° per year) that your birth date is usually enough to place it in a sign unless you were born on a day it changed signs. For the house, yes: Lilith's house depends on your Ascendant, which requires an exact birth time and birth location.

What is the difference between Mean and True Lilith?

Mean Lilith is the averaged position of the lunar apogee, smoothed over its natural wobble. True (or Osculating) Lilith is the instantaneous apogee at the exact moment of birth, before any averaging. Because the lunar orbit is perturbed by the Sun, True Lilith can differ from Mean by up to 30° in either direction. Most contemporary astrologers work with Mean; traditionalists who want the literal orbital geometry use True.

Why do I see different Lilith signs on different sites?

Different calculators use different Lilith variants without always telling you. Cafe Astrology uses Mean Lilith by default. Astro-Seek lets you pick. Some Vedic tools default to Sidereal Lilith, which shifts the position by roughly 24° (one sign earlier) in 2026. If two calculators show different signs, check which variant each one used; that is almost always the explanation.

What if I was born on a day Lilith changed signs?

Mean Black Moon Lilith moves about 40° per year, so it spends roughly nine months in each sign and changes signs once every nine months or so. If your date of birth falls within a day or two of an ingress, the calculator can still place it correctly when you provide a birth time. Without a time, the result reflects the sign Lilith was in at noon on your birth date.

Methodology: Mean Black Moon Lilith is computed from the lunar perigee polynomial in Jean Meeus, Astronomical Algorithms(Eq. 45.7), offset by 180° to produce the lunar apogee. The sidereal variant subtracts the Lahiri ayanamsa at the birth instant from the tropical longitude. House placement uses Placidus cusps returned by the natal endpoint. True, Waldemath, and Asteroid 1181 are documented as reference variants only; this tool currently computes Mean and Sidereal.
