Part of Spirit
Part of Spirit Square Mars
The The mirror of the Part of Fortune, tied to the mind, will, and the action you set in motion. It shows where you make things happen by choice. A tense aspect between planets about 90 degrees apart that creates friction and a push to act. Squares are challenging but are often what drives real growth. Mars presses your aims against impatience, temper, and the urge to force things before they are ready, so your will must learn aim before it learns power. The friction is raw drive working against the deeds it means to do. Direct your heat with discipline and let measured force serve your purpose.
