This Full Moon is in square to Black Moon Lilith, bringing together the themes of Cancer vulnerability with the unfiltered power of Lilith.

In square to Cancer, the sign of family, emphasis the need for some introspection, and nurturing familial connections. Positioned in its home sign, the moon’s influence is particularly strong, enhancing feelings and intuition.

Lilith, in her true essence, has been demonised over millennia. Far from the malevolent figure who devours children painted by religious patriarchal narratives, she is a creator Goddess, a protector of mothers and children, and our guide through the liminal spaces of life. She is transformation and creation, reminding us of the power of the raw, untamed feminine and the necessity of shadow work for true healing and embodiment.

Historically, Lilith has been wrongly blamed for chaos and destruction. Judaism, for example, have used amulets and rituals to ward her off, portraying and perpetuating her as and evil force and a threat to family life. Ironically quite the opposite, she is a midwife as women give birth, helping them get in touch with the primordial, in her role as a weaver of transformation and creation.

She is born from the primal yin energy, the force from which all things emerge. Through this deeply receptive force, she reminds us of the sacredness of surrender and the power of the feminine. Her presence invites us to reconnect with this ache of separation we all carry and to trust in the unfolding of life.

Lilith thrives in the void, the space of not-knowing where transformation begins. Her teaching is that confusion is not to be feared, as it is a precursor to awakening. The void is not a vacuous empty space, or a place of failure and loss, but a sacred pause, a time for incubation, a deep place where we confront our illusions, grow our patience and trust in life.

She calls us to trust that the unknown holds the seeds of our creations and evolution itself. This surrender to the void is where imagination becomes a tool for creation and boundless possibilities emerge.

Her calling at this time is to confront the shadow within—in our behaviour, patterns, projections, hatred and fears—that we often avoid. Her calling is to integrate these shadow aspects, reclaiming our power from the parts of ourselves we deny.

Not only that but the liminal space between worlds and dimensions where souls and fragments are paralysed and lost in limbo, is in part responsible for our die hard habits and flaws. In these places our our deepest fears reside, and when we face them with compassion, forgiveness and self-honesty, patterns change since we reclaim our wholeness.

At her most profound, Lilith inhabits the liminal spaces—the thresholds where souls pass, learn, and transform. Her presence in these spaces reminds us to rise above temporal concerns and see life through her timeless, cosmic lens. She embraces everything that has been cast aside, intimately understanding this realm and the power of forgiveness, yet she remains firmly rooted in the liminal space. Here, Lilith serves as a bridge between the visible and the hidden, leading us toward greater wisdom and deeper connection.

While in most astrology circles, Lilith represents feminine empowerment and sexual liberation, particularly around challenging taboos and reclaiming sensuality, at a more basic level, she calls us to just honour our desires and express them authentically. The truth is that we are whole, wild, and free, and in her presence, we find the courage to face our fears, reclaim our power, and step into the fullness of our being.

Further, in Lilith’s teaching, struggle and tension is not an enemy but a sacred act of perseverance that we need to learn to move with. Struggle sharpens and hones us, alchemising difficulty into our depth and substance. In challenging situations life is not against us, more that we are meant to refine our awareness and connect deeper into ourselves.

When we channel our struggles into purposeful action or embrace acceptance through surrender, we honour and transform our challenges into opportunities for growth. Surrender then becomes a gateway to acceptance, and action affirms our belief in the possibility of change, striking a balance between grace and agency.

Being receptive and surrendering to what is true and authentic for us are not weaknesses but pathways to wholeness, since it gets us more in touch with our feelings and our trust in ourselves. Even if we feel we need to honour our separateness, this will still take us back to our wholeness. This is a Lilith teaching; at times being able to live on the edge, the liminal, the in between realms.

In this way, this lunation is very much about our relationships, our relationship with true intimacy and interconnectedness, which is always through transparency, self-honouring and honesty. Our desires for connection with another are ultimately desires for the unity with the Divine within, where we always feel complete unto ourselves. Lilith’s energy guides us to redirect our projections inward, finding a higher experience of inner love that transcends all those lower expressions.

Lilith is a Goddess in motion; her courageous heart worships freedom, expansion, and growth, but not in conventional ways. Her square to the Sun-Moon emphasises a push-pull dynamic between emotional connection and personal autonomy. A time to embrace your strength in your own vulnerability which includes allowing emotions to surface without judgment. The key is to resist judgment, so things don’t flip into resistance or festering. Acknowledge and see the truth without judgment and then move on, applying the lesson.
