As lilith transits in Cancer, it conjures up profound emotional waves in your composite, stirring up latent instincts and hidden desires that converge on your Mars in Leo. Mars symbolizes your collective drive as a unit; in Leo, it suggests a penchant for bold, domineering expressiveness, a desire to lead and to be seen.

Lilith's transit through the nurturing heart of Cancer can bring an irresistible magnetic pull, unearthing subconscious longings and needing to nest and nurture, yet a strong urge to uphold your autonomy in the relationship. This period may bring challenges in ensuring your mutual needs are met while sustaining your individuality. There is a shared desire to care and counsel one another, but this nurturing intention should not be allowed to evolve into power struggles or emotional manipulation.

A typical scenario may involve one of you falling into a protective mode, wanting to shield the other from harm, while the other feels this overprotective energy as stifling. Lilith's influence intensifies these feelings, making this Cancerian smothering feel more like a calculated ploy than genuine concern. Meanwhile, Leo's pride could make Mars react with heated arguments or stubborn resistance, craving acknowledgment for one's autonomy.

Dealing with such a celestial stirring requires emotional maturity and dialogue. As you navigate these powerful celestial currents, you must recognize the other's fears and needs while honoring your own. Use your Mars in Leo's strength not to force your will but to confidently convey your feelings.

Balancing the intense emotional instincts of Lilith's transit in Cancer against your shared Mars in Leo's need for recognition and respect is key. Remember to give each other space to express your emotions, yet use this period to nurture each other. The platinum rule applies here: treat the other person how they want to be treated. Through this transit, you both can explore deeper levels of emotional vulnerability without losing your unique identities, hence, transforming the landscape of your shared journey.
