Aspects
Ascendant Trine Orcus
With Orcus trine your Ascendant, deep integrity flows easily into how you meet the world. A natural gravity, a sense of being bound by your word, and an instinct for what is true come to your manner without strain, an unforced principled weight others feel the moment they meet you: you keep faith, you mean what you say, you carry the depths lightly. There is a graced integrity to your presence. The only caution is that ease can let you lean on a principled nature you never test. Used consciously, it is a lifelong gift, a deep, trustworthy self that lets you keep your word and hold your line with a steadiness most people have to fight for.
Lean in — Keep your word and hold your line with steadiness.
Watch for — Lean on a principled nature you never test.
