Aspects
Chiron Semi-Sextile Orcus
The Orcus theme and a deep wound sit a step apart, so an old hurt around broken trust or a betrayed vow can quietly meet your sense of integrity, a resource that, tended, becomes a hard-won faith. What betrayed you can teach you to keep faith. Let the old wound deepen your integrity without making you brace for betrayal.
Lean in — Let your old hurt deepen your integrity without expecting betrayal.
Watch for — Over-vow to others to outrun an old wound of broken trust.
