Aspects
Moon Conjunction Orcus
Your emotional life and the Orcus principle are fused, so your feelings run deep, private, and bound by loyalty, and you take emotional commitments as sacred, unbreakable bonds. You feel the weight of promises in the heart, may guard a hidden inner world, and answer to a deep emotional integrity. The gift is profound loyalty and an emotional depth that does not betray. The shadow is holding others (and yourself) to vows too rigidly, brooding alone in the emotional underworld, or a difficulty forgiving a broken trust. Let your deep loyalty be a strength without becoming an unforgiving standard, and let your private depths be shared with the trusted.
Lean in — Let your deep loyalty be strength without becoming unforgiving.
Watch for — Brood alone in the depths, or hold trust to a rigid standard.
