Lilith in Cancer
Lilith in Cancer is a fierce need to belong, with no wish to look after anyone on command. Your care is wild and loyal, given freely and never taken by force.
You would walk through fire for the people you love. You will not iron a stranger’s shirt because somebody decided that was your job.
Lilith was in Cancer when you were born, in the sign of home, family and the Moon. Lilith marks what you keep untamed. In Cancer that is the caring instinct itself, which in you refuses to be turned into a duty.
The good child
Families have rules about who looks after whom, and you felt them early. You were expected to be the one who nurtured, or you were denied the nurturing you needed, and either way the anger stayed. Your moods are big, your need for home is bigger, and you do not like being told how to feel.
Fierce
When you protect someone, nothing gets past you. Your love is instinctive and physical, a wall around the people you choose. You make a home that is entirely yours, with its own rules, and anyone who threatens it meets a side of you they did not expect.
Chosen family
Care given freely is worth more than care given from duty, and yours is given freely or not at all. You build a family of people you chose, look after them because you want to, and let them look after you in return.
