With Lilith in the 4th house, Black Moon Lilith takes root in the home, the family of origin and your inner life. You often grew up feeling like the black sheep, the one who didn’t fit the family tradition, or you sensed very early the secrets, the unspoken things, the powerful and repressed women in your lineage. Your relationship with home is visceral: you need a place that is entirely yours, where no one imposes their rules, and you reject the image of the model household that smothers the truth.
