Part of Necessity
Part of Necessity Opposition Mercury
The Part of Necessity opposite Mercury sets the things you must endure against the words, opinions, and arguments of others, so limits and enemies often arrive through speech, contracts, or contested information. The tension is a battle of wits where you may feel cornered by someone else's logic. Answer with clear reasoning and do not be talked into a smaller cage than the one fate set.
