How it shows up
Someone with this line has vivid personal power and their own way of thinking. They express ideas independently and not always in the expected way. Through trial and error they find out when their originality fascinates and when it alarms. When their self-expression carries openness and vitality, people see them as an interesting personality. When they seem too mysterious and hard to read, others start suspecting hidden motives and may push them away.
At its best
Vitality and independence that attract attention without frightening anyone. They express themselves freely, and even the envy around them does not turn into hostility.
The shadow
A mysteriousness that invites suspicion. When people cannot understand them, their originality reads as a threat, and they risk being cast as the outsider or the freak.
Exaltation and detriment
In the activation table the line is marked ▲ (exaltation) when it is activated by Sun, and ▼ (detriment) when by Pluto. Exaltation brings out the line at its best, detriment its shadow.
