Aspects
Orcus Opposition Venus
The Orcus principle and your love nature sit across from each other, so questions of fidelity and broken trust tend to arrive through partners, those who break their vows or hold you to yours. You may keep faith alone while a partner wavers, or feel betrayed in love and find it hard to forgive. The resolution is balance, not choice: own your own relationship to commitment rather than only meeting it in others, and hold your devotion without demanding a perfection no one can give, so deep love and integrity inform each other instead of one judging the other.
Lean in — Hold your devotion without demanding a perfection none can give.
Watch for — Keep faith alone while feeling betrayed and unable to forgive.
