Aspects
Orcus Sextile Venus
There is a graceful opening between how you love and the Orcus principle of oaths, one that rewards a little initiative. When you choose to bring deep, faithful commitment into a relationship, love and integrity cooperate, so your devotion becomes a real foundation rather than a rigid duty. It will not happen by itself; the door asks you to take it. But take the step of committing genuinely to a worthy bond and keeping faith with it, while letting it stay alive, and you find affection and integrity feeding each other, so that deep, trustworthy love becomes something you build rather than a standard you hold over others.
Lean in — Commit genuinely to a worthy bond and keep faith with it, alive.
Watch for — Keep love shallow, or impose your standard of fidelity on others.
