Aspects
Moon Semi-Square Orcus
A low-grade friction runs between the Orcus theme and your emotional needs, so a fierce loyalty can keep you bound to old emotional vows past their time, the felt weight of a promise outlasting the feeling. The irritation asks you to honor what your heart truly holds now. Stay loyal where it is alive, and release where it is not.
Lean in — Keep faith where it lives, and release where it has died.
Watch for — Stay bound by an emotional vow long past its life.
