Okay, I have heard all the conspiracy theories before. And the Lilith placements are interesting, however they do not override the entire chart for each of the Apollo missions. They might cause some interesting things to happen, but they are not the signifactors of all the Apollo missions.
by MNow let's look at an interpretation of Lilith in Cancer. This is taken from
Black Moon Lilith M. Kelley Hunter © 2000 ACS Publications:
Cancer Black Moon is the image of the Dark Mother in all her sweet and awesome glory, Mother of the World, its protector and sustainer. She plants seeds of Mystery in our hearts and souls. She is the life stream. She dips into the ever-swirling matrix of potentiality to bring forth what is needed, encouraging us to drink deeply. Ever-hungry and thirsty for what only she can give us, we all depend on her support for our very lives. Thus she offers the fruit of life and is herself the fruit. And when our time is up, she swallows us wholly, making us holy.
Family is important to Cancer Black Moon. Inherited patterns run deep; the spiritual ancestry is remembered. One may feel exiled from the blood family and seek to find one's true soul family. There are a special few with whom they can truly bond. Sometimes someone close to them plays a rather demonic role in their lives. Mother and mothering are key experiences. The personal mother is overshadowed by the Great Mother. A bliological parent or not, one needs to find a way to give to others. There is a deep capacity to nourish the soul of others, but an aversion to dependency or attachments. Heads will role, their own included, with the swipe of the sword, cutting away bonds that offer no soul growth.
With Black Moon in the Moon's sign, there is a deep desire to resolve the apparent contradiction between the subjective personal mode of Cancer and the universality of Black Moon. "Intensification of spirituality transforms old stuff into affirmation," says one Black Moon Cancer woman. "All I want to happen is not going to happen unless I change my level of consciousness. It takes watching your consciousness where it magnetizes back to old patterns and creates emotions that are undesirable, and then what modes cultivate a new level of consciousness." This process takes time, like churning butter, yet one can feel the change in a lightening of the emotional body. Then the Great Mother bestows her riches and blessings.(italics mine)
A level of consciousness was being changed when humanity stepped off the lunar module onto the most emotionally charged object within the solar system—the Moon. Humanity as a whole was being forced (Lilith squaring Moon) to reconsider the fact that it lived on a
small blue planet and that truly the cosmos did not speed around it. Until Armstrong stepped onto the Moon, humanity could keep up its emotional fiction of the eons that it was special and no other place could support an intelligence like its. "God" singled the Earth out for special dispensation and left the rest of multiverse and dimensions dead and cold in their graves. Isn't the human hubris just wonderful?
Additionally, the Black Moon was reminding humanity that it is not just made of Earth stuff but also multiverse and additional dimensional stuff. Humanity was being forced (that square aspect again) to acknowledge its full spiritual ancestry. This threw the emotional equilibrium (if there ever really was one) of that Libran Moon off kelter, and it has not regained it yet. The Libran Moon energy does not know how to balance this expanded vision, so it sends tidal waves to the heights of tsunamis to engender the worst forms of the Libra Jupiter/Uranus conjunction (narrow, rigid, dogmatic thinking) to rebalance it to the old thought forms that fit with its "religious" emotional content. The Jupiter/Uranus conjunction, which is just barely out of orb to form a stellium with the Moon, takes up the Moon's call to the detriment of increasing the overall level of consciousness of humanity. Jupiter is manifestation of the personal conscious and Uranus is the manifestation of the personal unconscious. The Moon tugs on the fears of the personal conscious and unconscious in order to resolve the situation in its own emotional favor, safe and secure in its multi-millennial status quo and equilibrium it has built.
It is this energy that Black Moon Lilith is fighting with and why conspiracy theories abound for the Lunar landing (along with probably the rest of Space program). Emotionally humanity does not want to give up its special dispensation of being "God"'s chosen planet. The US Space program, with that Black Moon Lilith squaring the Moon with the first Lunar landing, has been challenging that notion time and time again over the last 37 years. It is also why the 1996 Mars meteor that might have had a fossilized bacterium in it was so soundly trounced. Humanity really does not want to find out that there is any other life of any type beyond the Earth. Therefore, if one can say the Lunar landings, the robotic Martian landings, the space probes, etc., are lies, it preserves again that Libran Moon equilibrium of humanity's specialness.
My 2¢ worth, as always.
