Aspects
Orcus Quincunx Pluto
Your sense of the deep, binding consequence of a vow never quite fits your need to let go, so you keep adjusting between holding the oath to the death and releasing it. The gift is an integrity that survives the underworld. The shadow is being bound by a vow that destroys you, or vengeance over its breaking. Keep recalibrating between the deep oath and release.
Lean in — Hold deep faith without being destroyed by a vow.
Watch for — Be bound by a vow that destroys you.
