Part of Necessity
Part of Necessity Conjunction Mars
The Part of Necessity When two planets sit at the same point in the zodiac, blending their meanings into one. The most powerful and direct of the aspects. Mars charges the things you must endure with anger, urgency, and the will to fight, so your constraints feel like a battle and your enemies feel close at hand. The energy can break a chain or wear you out swinging at walls. Aim your fight at the limit that can actually move and conserve your strength for it.
