Part of Necessity
Part of Necessity Opposition Neptune
The Part of Necessity opposite Neptune sets the things you must endure against illusion, deceit, and unclear demands from others, so limits and even enemies arrive in disguise and obligations blur at the edges. The tension is between clear sight and a fog others may use against you. Demand clarity where you are bound so you are not trapped by what you never quite saw.
