Part of Courage
Part of Courage Opposition Mercury
The Part of Courage opposite Mercury sets your boldness against analysis, second-guessing, and the arguments of others, so nerve can drown in too much thinking or get talked down in debate. Daring stalls when the mind keeps weighing every angle. Decide and move once you have thought enough, and let action settle what argument cannot.
