Aspects
Jupiter Opposition Orcus
The Orcus principle and your urge to grow sit across from each other, so the call to honor and justice tends to arrive through outer causes, broken societal vows, or others who embody integrity or its absence, while your own ethics are tested. You may be pulled into causes about honor and broken trust, or feel your principles meet a world that does not share them. The resolution is balance, not choice: own your own ethical code rather than only meeting it outside, and engage the larger questions of justice as a conscious participant, so your search for meaning and your sense of honor inform each other rather than one swept up by the other.
Lean in — Own your ethical code and engage justice as a conscious participant.
Watch for — Get swept into causes about honor without your own grounded ethics.
