How it shows up
The foundation here is sensitivity to disharmony, stagnation and falseness in the surroundings. It pays to study this inner compass: which places, people and choices feel right and which do not. Such knowing is not always logical, so ego or the urge to act immediately can easily drown it out. When they listen to that sense first and then lean on it, the direction becomes reliable both for them and for those around them.
At its best
An aesthetic sense that points to the right path. They find direction through beauty and harmony and can show others where the way runs straight. Their sense rarely misleads them.
The shadow
An ego that overrides inner knowing for the sake of quick action. They then charge ahead against their own sense of things and pay later for the haste.
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.
