Part of Courage
Part of Courage Square Pluto
The Part of Courage A tense aspect between planets about 90 degrees apart that creates friction and a push to act. Squares are challenging but are often what drives real growth. Pluto grinds your boldness against deep fear, obsession, and the compulsion to control outcomes, so daring must be reclaimed from a tense, white-knuckle grip. The friction can breed ruthlessness or paralyzing dread. Loosen the need to control and let courage act without strangling the outcome.
