Aspects
Orcus Sextile Sun
There is an easy opening between who you are and the Orcus principle of oaths and integrity, one that rewards a little initiative. When you choose to live by your deepest commitments and keep your word even when unseen, identity and integrity cooperate, so being principled becomes a natural ground for who you are. It will not run on its own; this is an opportunity, not a given. But take the step of honoring your real vows and aligning your life with your values, and you find your sense of self and your integrity reinforce each other, so that being someone whose word means something becomes part of how you live rather than a standard you only admire.
Lean in — Honor your real vows and align your life with your values.
Watch for — Admire integrity as a standard you never actually live by.
