Aspects
Mars Sesquiquadrate Orcus
A simmering friction runs between your drive and your gravity about oaths, prodding you to follow through on every commitment, often rigidly. The gift is a drive that does not abandon its word. The shadow is punishing yourself or others over a lapse. Let the prompt move you to follow through without harshness.
Lean in — Follow through on your word without harshness.
Watch for — Punish yourself or others over a lapse.
