How it shows up
People with this line usually do not go looking for conflict, but when they see a blatant grab at their resources, work or way of life, they react powerfully and without hesitation. This ability often surfaces on its own, almost instinctively, and others notice that they are not to be trifled with. Such a reaction protects what the person has built. At the same time they may feel uneasy about their own severity, and after a decisive move they keep wondering whether they went too far.
At its best
The capacity to push back firmly and legitimately when boundaries are crudely violated. They defend their material territory quickly, effectively and without second thoughts.
The shadow
A tendency to regret severity, however justified it was. Inner discomfort with their own strength makes them doubt themselves after every decisive step.
Exaltation and detriment
In the activation table the line is marked ▲ (exaltation) when it is activated by Mars, and ▼ (detriment) when by Neptune. Exaltation brings out the line at its best, detriment its shadow.
