Part of Necessity
Part of Necessity Square Mars
The Part of Necessity square Mars grinds the things you must endure against frustration, impatience, and a temper quick to flare, so obligation breeds resentment and the urge to lash out. The friction can turn allies into enemies if you let the heat lead. Master the anger first, then use its force on the real obstacle.
