How it shows up
This line's path is a series of experiments with where to direct its energy. The person may try different pursuits, change jobs, put themselves into various projects, and each experience shows what actually nourishes them. Gradually they notice that when their skills serve others, their strength grows, and when everything revolves around personal gain, it fades. That lesson becomes their inner compass in matters of work and money.
At its best
A selfless contribution to society. They discover that the key to their power lies in serving others, and that this is when their talents and resources achieve the most.
The shadow
Greed that slowly erodes moral fibre. Selfishness feeds an insatiable desire for more, and energy that could have built something good turns against the person themselves.
Exaltation and detriment
In the activation table the line is marked ▲ (exaltation) when it is activated by Earth, and ▼ (detriment) when by Neptune. Exaltation brings out the line at its best, detriment its shadow.
