Aspects
Descendant Decile Orcus
With Orcus decile your Descendant, a small grave spark hides in your bonds. One of the subtlest of harmonic gifts, it lends a quiet, distinctive touch of depth and fidelity to relationship, more a flicker than a defining trait, surfacing whenever you make a little deliberate effort. It will never announce itself like a conjunction; its rewards are modest and go to those who notice. Bring a touch of conscious loyalty to how you share a bond and this minor gift adds a real, small depth to your closest ties. Leave it unattended and it stays a faint potential in the commitment you might keep with another.
Lean in — Bring conscious loyalty to how you share a bond.
Watch for — Leave the faint fidelity in your bonds unattended.
