Aspects
Orcus Conjunction Venus
Your way of loving and the Orcus principle are fused, so love is bound by deep commitment and you hold relationships as sacred, binding vows. You love profoundly and loyally, take the promises of love with utter seriousness, and answer to a private code of devotion. The gift is a rare capacity for deep, faithful, unwavering love. The shadow is holding a partner to vows too rigidly, staying bound to a commitment long past its life out of principle, or an unforgiving response to betrayal. Let your love be deeply committed without becoming a cage, faithful by choice rather than by a vow you can no longer feel.
Lean in — Let your love be faithful by choice, not a vow you no longer feel.
Watch for — Hold a partner to rigid vows, or stay bound to a dead commitment.
