How it shows up
When young, someone with this line experiments a lot in relationships and communication, sometimes getting burned. Later they step back somewhat, observe themselves and others and understand how emotional openness affects people. In maturity their way of conducting themselves becomes so natural and convincing that people are drawn to them as a leader. They may also take a nonconformist path, expressing their grace in unusual ways that not everyone understands at first.
At its best
Natural leadership and authority that grow out of social experience. They become an example of how openness and maturity merge into one whole.
The shadow
A tendency to express maturity as protest against norms. Experience turns into nonconformity that sets them apart but can distance them from those they might lead.
Exaltation and detriment
In the activation table the line is marked ▲ (exaltation) when it is activated by Sun, and ▼ (detriment) when by Mars. Exaltation brings out the line at its best, detriment its shadow.
