Part of Necessity
Part of Necessity Opposition Mars
The Part of Necessity opposite Mars sets the things you must endure against rivals, aggressors, and outright enemies, so the limits placed on you arrive through conflict and someone else's force. The tension is a contest you did not always choose. Defend your ground without letting another's aggression goad you into a fight on their terms.
