Part of Necessity
Part of Necessity Conjunction Sun
The Part of Necessity marks what binds and restrains you, the duties and limits you must endure, and conjunct the Sun those constraints fuse with your very sense of self, so the role you are forced to play can feel inseparable from who you are. The risk is mistaking the cage for the man. Inhabit the necessary role without letting it swallow the self that wears it.
