Aspects
Neptune Quincunx Orcus
Your sense of the sacred, ideal vow never quite fits practical reality, so you keep adjusting between the perfect commitment and the workable one. The gift is a reverence for the sacredness of one's word. The shadow is an ideal of integrity no human can meet. Keep recalibrating between the sacred vow and the real one.
Lean in — Honor the sacred vow within human limits.
Watch for — Hold an ideal of integrity no human can meet.
