Above (left and right) are shown the symbols I've been using for Orcus.... like the symbol for Pluto (centre), but up-side-down! This mirrors the astronomy in a very evocative way. What comes to mind when you contemplate the image below?
The orbit of Orcus is about the same length as that of Pluto, as is their inclination to the ecliptic. As you can see from the diagram, they both also cross oer the orbit of Neptune. Both are also binary systems with one of their Moons. So it's Pluto-Charon and Orcus-Vanth.
Below is a very brief summary of some themes connected with Orcus.
