Lilith in Cancer
Lilith in Cancer refuses to be told how to nurture. The untamed self loves fiercely and unconventionally, and may have been shamed for not fitting the family mould. Owning it means caring on its own terms.
In plain words
Lilith stands for the part of you that will not be tamed. In Cancer, that works in a Cancer way: caring, protective and easily hurt. You look after your own and remember everything.
