There is a version of you that walks in and takes the room before anyone offers it, radiant on your own authority and faintly amused by the idea of waiting to be invited. Lilith is no asteroid and no planet. She is the apogee of the Moon, the farthest point of its orbit, a place you reach by calculation rather than a light you could spot in the sky, and that is why she names the part of you that refuses to dim for anyone's comfort. Your Lilith in Leo marks the radiance that refuses to wait for permission. The self that insists on being seen as it actually is, not as the room would have preferred, lives here. The Sun rules the register, and Lilith heats the Sun into the performance nobody sanctioned. Somewhere a parent or a director told you to dim, called your visibility showing off, asked you to shrink so the people who could not handle the wattage would feel easier. So you may chase the applause now to prove the light is real. That is the trap: the spotlight is not the source, and a flame that only burns for an audience goes cold the moment the audience leaves. This is the stretch of you that will not be made smaller for anyone's comfort. Tend your own light on the days no one is watching. Then the public flame is honest when it comes out, and you get to be that bright without asking.
