Aspects
Orcus Opposition Sun
The Orcus principle and your sense of self sit across from each other, so questions of oath, integrity, and broken trust tend to reach you through others, those who betray their word or hold you to yours, mirroring your own relationship to commitment. You may attract the oath-breaker, or be cast as the rigid keeper of principle. The work is balance, not choice: own your own integrity rather than only judging it in others, and let your commitments be yours to keep, so you can hold a real code without becoming self-righteous about it or projecting all the betrayal outward.
Lean in — Own your own integrity rather than only judging it in others.
Watch for — Attract oath-breakers, or play the rigid keeper of principle.
