Aspects
Midheaven Sextile Orcus
With Orcus sextile your Midheaven, a workable depth of integrity is available to your vocation when you reach for it. Unlike the trine's effortless gravity, this one rewards effort: when you actively bring your principled, oath-keeping nature into your work, you can hold your line, bear consequence, and build a reputation others trust at the root. The deep integrity in your calling is there, but it grows only if engaged. The lifelong opportunity is to keep drawing on your underworld steadiness on purpose, letting integrity become a developed, reliable part of your vocation rather than a depth you keep out of your work.
Lean in — Draw on your underworld steadiness in your work on purpose.
Watch for — Keep your depths out of your work.
