How it shows up
People with this line can act sincerely and openly and still run into failure. Trial and error leaves them no illusions: life does not automatically reward good intentions. The key is not to conclude from a setback that something is wrong with you. Every fall strengthens, as long as it isn't allowed to turn into cynicism. Over the years a fine understanding grows that the point is not winning, but keeping the ability to love and trust after being hit.
At its best
The resilience to take failure or shock and stay true to one's nature. After a fall, this person gets up not harder but wiser, and gentler with others who fall.
The shadow
The danger that failure or a sudden blow breaks one's faith in life. Innocence then turns into bitterness, and the person may act in ways they never expected of themselves.
Exaltation and detriment
In the activation table the line is marked ▲ (exaltation) when it is activated by Mars, and ▼ (detriment) when by Pluto. Exaltation brings out the line at its best, detriment its shadow.
