Neptune Square Orcus

Orcus's oath-keeping keeps colliding with Neptune's fog, so your commitments can blur, your sense of what you owe gets confused, or you are tempted to quietly betray your own code while telling yourself a story about it. There can be self-deception about vows, guilt around broken promises, or integrity lost to escapism. This square asks for clear sight, not drift: name plainly what you have committed to, hold your code even when it would be easy to fudge, and let the ideal sharpen your integrity rather than dissolve it. Worked, it becomes devoted, clear integrity; left raw, it erodes in the fog.

Lean inName plainly what you have committed to, and hold your code.

Watch forQuietly betray your own code behind a comforting story.
