Aspects
Mercury Semi-Sextile Orcus
The Orcus theme and your thinking mind sit a step apart, so a quiet sense that a word given is a bond can grow between them, a resource you develop into speech you can be held to. You mean what you say. Let your words be a bond without weighing every casual remark as an oath.
Lean in — Let your words be a bond without bracing every remark as an oath.
Watch for — Treat every offhand thing you say as a sworn oath.

- 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 the binding word and the thinking mind as an inner dynamic of the promise kept in speech.
- Tierney, Dynamics of Aspect Analysis (1983)Reads the semi-sextile as a minor growth aspect, a subtle nudge toward integrating two neighboring principles.
