A review of "Lilith Ephemeris 1900-2000 AD" by Delphine Gloria Jay.
Some astrologers believe that the Earth has two moons.
The second moon, known as the Dark Moon or Lilith, is said to have a generally
negative influence in the birth chart, at least according to another book I
reviewed on this site, "Lilith Insight" by Wilson-Ludlam.
I haven't read Delphine Gloria Jay's book on Lilith, but I happen to have her ephemeris for this elusive second satellite of Earth. Of course, the ephemeris is sheer bunk, since the Dark Moon doesn't really exist, anymore than Vulcan, Persephone, Selene and other hypothetical planets used by the more esoteric-minded astrologers (what's wrong with good ol' Venus or Saturn, I wonder?).
Still, if you believe in the Dark Moon, this ephemeris is probably a must. Lilith is generally assumed to have a negative influence, and as the old proverb goes: "Just because you're paranoid, doesn't mean they're not out to get you". It's always good to be on the safe side, aint it?
However, there seems to be more than one ephemeris for Lilith. According to an on-line article by Sue Simmons, "The Three Liliths", Jay's ephemeris is wrong. The correct one is only available at the Solar Fire software and is based on the calculations of Dr. Waltemath, the supposed "discoverer" of the Dark Moon.
Well, we seem to be left in something of a conundrum here!
Personally, I have the Dark Moon in Gemini, which (according to Wilson-Ludlam, at least) is the closest thing to a beneficial placement for this evil, elusive moon.
Thank you.
