Part of Necessity
Part of Necessity Conjunction Mercury
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. Mercury, its own ruling planet, ties the things you must endure tightly to thought, speech, and the daily mental grind, so your constraints are constantly turned over, analyzed, and put into words. The mind both maps the cage and rattles its bars. Use clear thinking to understand exactly what binds you rather than to spin in worry.
