Part of Courage
Part of Courage Square Sun
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. the Sun grinds your boldness against ego, pride, and a wavering sense of worth, so daring keeps getting tangled up with proving yourself. The friction can make you reckless to impress or timid when unsure. Decouple the brave act from your ego and let the deed matter more than the win.
