The public voice challenges the taboo woman. The female outsider is getting attention but some people don't agree. Her energy opposes the group - maybe she's too proud or dramatic and what she's displaying is shocking.

BML always exposes uncomfortable truths about women's sexuality, people's attitudes to sexuality, and independence. These matters are fully in the spotlight so watch for conversations that are distancing. There could be versions of "she's not one of us." The verbal rejection are signs that Lilith has come close and she's making everyone uncomfortable.

If someone distances themselves from you, know that you've hit a nerve. If you find yourself using words to keep someone "unacceptable" at arm's length you don't necessarily have to pull them closer, but consider why you're detaching.
