Moon Square Orcus

Your emotional needs and the Orcus principle keep colliding, so your deep loyalty can harden into rigid emotional demands, you may brood alone in the depths over a broken trust, or hold yourself and others to vows that no longer serve. Comfort and integrity get tangled, so the very loyalty that runs deep can wall off forgiveness and warmth. This square does not want either betrayal or rigidity, it wants action: to keep faith without demanding emotional perfection, to forgive a broken trust where you can, and to let your deep commitments breathe, until your heart and your vows stop chafing and loyalty becomes warm rather than unyielding.

Lean inKeep faith without demanding emotional perfection, and forgive.

Watch forBrood alone over a broken trust, walling off warmth and forgiveness.
