Aspects
Orcus Opposition True Node
With Orcus set against the North Node, and so resting near the South Node of the past, a particular relationship to vows and integrity is deeply familiar, perhaps a rigid inherited code, harsh self-judgment, or a habit of binding yourself to duties that no longer fit. The principle is real, but the old pattern keeps you from the growth your North Node wants. The pull is to fall back on the rigid code. The way forward is conscious integrity: keep faith with what genuinely deserves it, release the inherited rigidity, and let your code serve your growth rather than imprison you in the past.
Lean in — Keep faith with what deserves it; release the inherited rigidity.
Watch for — Bind yourself to old duties that no longer fit.
