Part of Necessity
Part of Necessity Square Neptune
The Part of Necessity square Neptune presses the things you must endure against escapism, vagueness, and the wish to look away, so obligation gets dodged, romanticized, or numbed instead of faced. The friction asks for sober honesty about what is truly required of you. Name the duty plainly and stop dissolving it into excuses.
