Aspects
Neptune Semi-Square Orcus
A low-grade friction runs between the Orcus theme and your longing to merge, so the sense of the sacred vow can become an ideal of integrity no human can meet, leading to martyrdom or crushing guilt over any lapse. The irritation asks you to vow sacredly within human limits. Honor the sacredness of your word without sacrificing yourself to a perfect ideal.
Lean in — Honor the sacred vow within real, human limits.
Watch for — Martyr yourself to an ideal of integrity no one can meet.
