Aspects
Midheaven Semi-Sextile Orcus
With Orcus semi-sextile your Midheaven, a faint underworld gravity runs just beneath your vocation. The oath-keeping force sits a half-step from your public path, near it but not aligned, so your integrity and your work are slightly out of phase: small pulls toward keeping faith within your role, minor stirrings of conscience at the edge of your career. It is easy to overlook and asks only for small, ongoing attention. Tend the little promptings of integrity in your work and a quiet depth finds its way into your vocation; ignore them and a principled weight in your calling stays just below the surface.
Lean in — Tend the little promptings of integrity in your work.
Watch for — Let a principled weight in your calling stay buried.
