How it shows up

This gate is about love of humanity in all its variety and about living in unusual rhythms. People with the first line need solid ground, and for them that ground is the support of those around them. When others accept their extremes, they can cope with any challenge. They don't promise too much or wait for recognition; they simply do what is needed at their own pace.

At its best

A readiness to face any challenge without expectations. They lean on harmonious relationships with others and, thanks to them, manage even the hardest tasks.

The shadow

Alienation through exaggerated claims. The person promises or asserts more than they can back up, and their extremes push away even those who were ready to help.

Exaltation and detriment

In the activation table the line is marked ▲ (exaltation) when it is activated by Venus, and ▼ (detriment) when by Mars. Exaltation brings out the line at its best, detriment its shadow.
