Aspects
Mars Semi-Sextile Orcus
The Orcus theme and your drive sit a step apart, so a quiet impulse to act in keeping with your word can steady your action, a resource you grow into a reliability others can build on. You do what you said you would. Let your drive act true to your word without rigidity when action must change.
Lean in — Let your drive act true to your word, adapting when you must.
Watch for — Stay bound by a vow when the action it demands has changed.
- oaths
- drive
- growth

- Tarnas, Cosmos and Psyche (2006)Gives the archetypal field of Orcus, oaths and integrity and the long consequence of the vow.
- Hand, Horoscope Symbols (1981)Treats the meeting of oath-keeping and drive as an inner dynamic of action true to one's word.
- Tierney, Dynamics of Aspect Analysis (1983)Reads the semi-sextile as a minor growth aspect, a subtle nudge toward integrating two neighboring principles.
