How it shows up
People project onto this person the image of someone who knows how to manage resources and make practical decisions. Their natural dignity convinces others, who readily trust them with shared ventures. Yet success can bring a sense of being above those with less power or fewer skills. The more calmly they relate to their own strength, the more respect they earn and the longer they keep their influence.
At its best
Innate dignity that is itself a key to power. They don't need to look down on anyone to be respected; their calm confidence is more convincing than any loud words.
The shadow
Dissatisfaction with other people's gifts that breeds a sense of superiority. Noticing who has less power feeds an illusion of being better, and pushes people away.
Exaltation and detriment
In the activation table the line is marked ▲ (exaltation) when it is activated by Sun, and ▼ (detriment) when by Venus. Exaltation brings out the line at its best, detriment its shadow.
