Aspects
Mercury Sesquiquadrate Orcus
A simmering friction runs between casual talk and your sense of the binding word, prodding you to honor exactly what you said, often heavily. The gift is a scrupulous honesty. The shadow is self-reproach over any misspoken thing. Let the prompt move you to keep your word without flagellating over slips.
Lean in — Keep your word without flagellating over slips.
Watch for — Reproach yourself over any misspoken thing.
