This is an excellent conversation and a great introduction to archetypal astrology, symbolic thinking, the integration of astrology into psychotherapy, and some of Laurence’s key insights from decades of practice.
How to find your Black Moon Lilith in your astrological chart:
You can get a natal chart drawn for free with Astro.com (go to “charts and calculations”, then “extended chart selection”, and add your birth data).
On the main screen before generating your chart, scroll all the way to the bottom to the “additional objects” section. Click to expand “List of other horoscope factors and "hypothetical" planets and choose “h13 Osculating Lunar Apogee (also called “True” Lilith / Black Moon)” from the list.
Generate your chart and look for where the glyph is located in your chart: note the sign and the house.
Thank you for listening. If you’re interested in working together, I offer depth psychotherapy in Marylebone, London and online, and I also offer astrological consultations through a depth psychology lens. Get in touch to find out more.
