So, you’ve heard about Hekate in astrology and want to see where she shows up in your birth chart? Maybe you’ve stumbled upon some eerie, witchy astro-TikTok or—like me—recently discovered a very interesting Hekate placement in your own chart and now you’re obsessed. (Spoiler: Mine is conjunct my 3H Lilith and exactly trines my 12H Moon—more on that later.)
Who (or What) Is Hekate In Astrology?
In mythology, Hekate (or Hecate) is the Greek goddess of magic, crossroads, ghosts, and the moon. She’s a liminal figure—standing between worlds, guiding souls, and wielding deep, intuitive power.
In astrology, asteroid Hekate (100) represents:
Hidden knowledge & intuition (hello, 12H folks)
Witchy, mystical energy (if you’ve ever felt drawn to the occult, check her placement)
Crossroads & fateful decisions (where does she sit? That’s where life gets spicy.)
Shadow work & transformation (think Pluto, but with more ancient, crone wisdom)
If Hekate is prominent in your chart (say, conjunct a personal planet, Lilith, Chiron, or angle), you might have a natural pull toward the unseen, a knack for divination, or a life path marked by major turning points.

Step 2: Interpret Her Placement
Now, check:
- What house is Hekate in? (This shows where her energy plays out.)
- What’s she aspecting? (Conjunctions = strongest influence; squares/oppositions = tension; trines/sextiles = ease.)
For example:
- Hekate in the 8H/12H? Deep psychic vibes.
- Conjunct Moon/Lilith/Pluto? Intense emotional intuition.
- Square Mars? Power struggles or a very strong will.
My Hekate Story (aka Why I Wrote This)
I recently discovered Hekate at 18° Gemini in my 3rd House, conjunct my Lilith (yikes) and making an exact trine to my 12th House Moon (double yikes).
Now, I’ve always been drawn to magic, witchcraft, and the unseen—my intuition hits like a lightning strike, and my dreams have always carried an eerie, knowing weight. With my 12H Moon and 3H Lilith locked in a perfect trine, I knew there was something deeper at play. Add my Pluto in the 8th House and Pisces Rising to the mix, and yeah, my chart is basically a gothic novel waiting to be written.
But even with all those heavy-hitting placements, I still felt like something was missing—some hidden signature in my chart that explained the whispers in my gut, the way I’d know things without knowing how. I scoured fixed stars, asteroids, everything—until, a few days ago, my TikTok FYP decided to intervene.
Suddenly, my feed was flooded with videos about Hekate, a goddess I’d never really explored. The synchronicity was too loud to ignore. Was she in astrology too? I looked her up—asteroid (100)—and plugged her into my chart.
And there she was. Sitting right where my intuition had always lived, confirming everything I’d felt but couldn’t name.
If you’ve ever had that magnetic pull toward the occult, if “coincidences” follow you like shadows, or if your gut speaks in riddles you somehow understand—check your Hekate placement. She might just be the missing piece you’ve been searching for.
Final Thoughts
Hekate isn’t just some random asteroid—she’s a symbol of deep, shadowy wisdom. If she’s strong in your chart, you might be the friend people go to for tarot readings, the one who always knows when someone’s lying, or the person who thrives during life’s biggest transformations. So, go find her!
(P.S. If you’re into this, check your Circe (34), Medusa (149), and Persephone (399) placements too. The asteroid goddesses never disappoint.)
