Neptune Opposition Orcus

Orcus's oath-keeping and Neptune's idealism tend to play out through other people, where promises blur, commitments are made to idealized images, or integrity dissolves in confusion and deception between you. You may keep faith with someone who is not who you imagined, or be let down by broken vows you could not see clearly. The work is discernment: see the real terms of a commitment before you bind yourself, keep faith with what is true rather than what you wish, and refuse both the martyr and the betrayer roles. Real integrity here is clear-eyed about what it promises.

Lean inSee the real terms before you bind yourself to a commitment.

Watch forKeep faith with an idealized image rather than the truth.
