When animating you shouldn’t use 3D Cursor for rotation. At least not until you have a lot more understanding of orientation vs rotation and the transform matrices. I’m pretty sure that’s where your problem is. I’d recommend doing one of the following in the future. 1. Use an empty as your pivot point by parenting object to the empty. 2. Move object origin to pivot point. Once set you can’t move it. 3. Use an armature. Here is a partial explanation of the transform matrices. https://youtu.be/UhQjt9IDjpk?si=GyO6Q4kBlyINuoRc
