Asteroid # 90482

Can anyone tell me something specific about this energy?

So far, it's been associated with Pluto and the Underworld,
but how it differs from Pluto is unknown to me.

What might it mean to have Orcus exactly oppositioning the Moon, -
or, more specifically,
Orcus in the 7th, in Leo,
opposite a 1st house Moon/Juno conjunction?



thanks,
hsc

In Roman mythology, Orcus was a god of the underworld, punisher of broken oaths, the god who tormented evildoers in the afterlife. Seems it has something to do with pastlife relationship karma.

Remarkably, I have Orcus exactly conjunct my dad's Sun.

If you were badly hurt or betrayed by women, you might have done that in your past life and now you are just paying off.

Wonder what Orcus opp Karma would be in a Natal chart & Synastry chart? Or Orcus conjunct Orcus? Doesn't seem like Orcus is a good thing ...

lol, AG. Where's your Shamu asteroid?

HSC, thanks for bringing up this asteroid, and Peri, thanks for the info.

I love learning about new asteroids, but I feel that I may be getting ahead of myself. I still consider myself a beginner with the basics of astrology, but I'm attracted to the specific meaning of asteroids. It's easier to wrap my head around the "punisher of broken oaths" than the planets which are all more general and multi-faceted.

Natally, I have Orcus conjunct Juno and sextile Karma. I wonder if where you have Orcus placed natally is where you most closely monitor yourself and consciously honor your promises.

In synastry, my Orcus conjucts my boyfriend's' Mars, my name asteroid, and his part of marriage. It also opposes his Saturn and Moon. His Orcus sextiles my Mars, Jupiter, and Chiron. I guess the Mars-Orcus double whammy means we'd both torment the other over any extracurricular sexual evildoing. Hmm, I could really use a dominatrix smiley right here.

HSC, are you being bad? Don't make me put on black leather and unleash my Orcus on you. Mine's in Leo too, so it would be a fair fight.

My Orcus is at 28 Cancer... It's conjunct Jupiter & opposed Mercury in my chart, and that's it... Because it's conjunct Jupiter, can I say I don't have an bad Orcussey karma???

I'm scared of Orcus! I'm just going to tell myself that, it makes me feel better, lol.

Whoa, get this... My Orcus is exactly conjunct my ex-husband's DC and conjunct his Orcus at 0 Leo... We also have planets loaded up on each other's South Node... how karmic is that? I'm amazed already with this Orcus thing.

EDIT: guys, I don't know how valid Orcus can be for a synastry reading, especially the conjunction... Orcus moves soooooooooooo sloooooowwly. Orcus is conjunct with everyone and pretty much everyone within my age range makes similar aspects with my personal planets.

My mother was born 30 years before me and her Orcus is just over 30 degrees away from mine!

A fair fight? I don't know about that, jane.
I'm a Plutonian. Orcus is my right-hand man.

Hmm. I think I might love Orcus. Hehe...the Scorpio in me resonates well with it.


I have Orcus conjunct Moon...opposite Mars, square Pluto and trine AC.

You may be Plutonian, but Scorpio is my middle name (it's my second strongest sign). But I see that you have a Scorpio Sun-Venus-Uranus conjunction touching your MC...well played, HSC. You win this round.

Oh, come on. Now you're just showing off.

Since you showed me yours, I'll show you mine. I have Pluto, my chart ruler, sextile my Moon, Sun, and Neptune. It's also square my Venus (so you know he and Orcus would see eye-to-eye). It's resting in my 12th house though, so it's in my Private Plutonian Secret Garden. What would a Plutonian garden look like? Fire pits birthing a phoenix? Tigers? Siegfried & Roy?

Orcus looks real scary in my chart. Actively takin part in the grand-cross. In leo in fixed signs.. Squaring my sun and moon && my saturn. But at least.. trines my north node.

looks like I have Orcus in Leo house 3. where I also have the S. Node and IC.

Doesn't look like it aspects anything either.
