Aspects
Orcus Conjunction Pluto
Orcus's oath-keeping is fused with Pluto's power, the two underworld principles together, so your integrity is tested at the deepest level and the consequences of kept or broken vows run profound. You can hold faith through the hardest trials, endure where others fold, and bring a weighty accountability to power and commitment. The shadow is rigid, punishing judgment, an unforgiving code, or using integrity as a weapon. At its best this is unbreakable, transformative integrity, the strength to keep faith in the dark. The work is to let your code transform rather than punish: hold integrity with mercy, including for yourself.
Lean in — Hold your integrity with mercy, including toward yourself.
Watch for — Wield your code as a weapon or an unforgiving judgment.
