Part of Spirit
Part of Spirit Square Mercury
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. Mercury presses your aims against second-guessing, scattered focus, and crossed communication, so you must discipline your thinking before your will can act. The friction is a restless mind tripping the deeds it means to do. Quiet the chatter, decide, and let a focused mind serve your purpose.
