How it shows up
In the first phase of life, someone with this line feels their own and other people's flaws keenly. Later they step back and observe, and in maturity correction becomes less a struggle than a natural movement toward something better. They do not get stuck in criticism because they keep looking for a new horizon. People value them for knowing how to improve things and for being able to pass their method on. A more ordinary version of this line leans on public opinion and shares a methodology rather than an example.
At its best
A freshness of outlook that prevents stagnation. They embody the perfection that correction aims for and inspire others to change through their example.
The shadow
The mundane use of this gift: they can read the public mood and spread their approach widely, but risk replacing a living example with a polished method.
Exaltation and detriment
In the activation table the line is marked ▲ (exaltation) when it is activated by Mars, and ▼ (detriment) when by Moon. Exaltation brings out the line at its best, detriment its shadow.
