Lilith, or the dark moon, as many people call it, is not a real celestial body.
It represents a point where the Moon is at its farthest from the Earth, during its orbit around the Earth.
It is a point in the natal chart which describes our secret desires, secrets, taboos, our uncontrollable side of nature, situations where we cannot control ourselves and our urges, and our desires to break social norms.
Strong Lilith connections between two natal charts are an indication of a magnetic attraction between the two people.
Lilith is the point of secret knowledge, occult, magic, but also forbidden pleasure.

Maybe this parent was somehow absent or distant from them during the period of growing up and that has left a significant mark on their personality.
This parent might also have been cold and controlling, and this caused this person to exhibit the same traits towards the people in their life as well.
They might have had a parent who was never satisfied with their accomplishments and they were constantly trying to please them.
This behavior might continue throughout their lives, where they usually end up dealing with people they need to please to receive love and affection from them. It is an unconscious mechanism they need to resolve to be able to experience healthy relationships and healthy exchanges of emotions.

They also need to control their intensity in interactions with others and leave some space for others to thrive. They also need to control themselves against stealing the spotlights from others.
For their peace of mind, they also need to learn not to overidentify themselves with the success and accomplishments they have achieved.

They need to love themselves as they are and not because they did and accomplished something. This is just a bonus but it shouldn’t be a prerequisite.
They also need to work on improving their relationships with their parents.
If they are feeling pressured to be accomplished by their parents, and they do that to receive their appreciation and approval, they should consider talking to their parents and resolving that issue with them.
