Aspects
Mercury Quintile Orcus
You carry a distinctive gift for a word that is truly a bond, an original integrity of speech. The gift is a voice others can stake everything on. The shadow is rigidity about the letter of what was said. Let your word hold to its true spirit, not just its letter.
Lean in — Hold your word to its spirit, not just its letter.
Watch for — Get rigid about the letter of what was said.
