Part of Necessity
Part of Necessity Opposition Sun
The Part of Necessity opposite the Sun sets the things you must endure against authorities, fathers, and dominant personalities, so the limits placed on you often arrive through someone else's will to lead. The pull is between your own light and the figure casting a shadow over it. Stand in your own vitality without needing to topple the authority you face.
