How it shows up

People with this line feel fine when they do not have to be the center of attention. They can be the assistant, the student or the newcomer in a group and enjoy it, because emotionally they do not crave first place at any cost. Such acceptance makes socializing easy and frees them from unnecessary strain. Trouble begins when an emotional wave pushes them to claim more than they are ready to hold, and then the social consequences can be painful.

At its best

The ability to sincerely enjoy a supporting role. Not fighting for status, they feel free, and this very ease is what makes them pleasant company.

The shadow

The inevitable embarrassment of taking a seat one is not yet entitled to. An emotional urge to claim first class on a second-class ticket ends in social awkwardness.

Exaltation and detriment

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