Lilith in astrology

What Lilith represents

Lilith represents the part of you that has been silenced, shamed, or exiled — the untamed instinct, the desire that asks no permission, the legitimate anger that upbringing or culture taught you to hide. It isn't a physical planet; it's a mathematical point (the lunar apogee), but in modern tradition it embodies the authenticity that emerges once you stop apologizing for who you are.
