How it shows up
This line goes through the three phases of a sixth line: a youth full of experiments, a period of distance, and maturity, when the person becomes an example. The early years can bring ill-judged actions that have to be answered for. Their value is that such lessons strip off the mask honestly: it becomes clear where innocence was a pose and where it was real openness. With age comes the ability to act fittingly and without self-deception, and old mistakes become stories that warn others.
At its best
Accepting criticism for an ill-judged act as the lesser evil and changing course in time. Lost naivety then turns into mature honesty that others readily trust.
The shadow
Repeated inappropriate actions just when a situation is most tense. They erode others' trust and can crack the person's own spirit unless they stop and take an honest look at themselves.
Exaltation and detriment
In the activation table the line is marked ▲ (exaltation) when it is activated by Earth, and ▼ (detriment) when by Uranus. Exaltation brings out the line at its best, detriment its shadow.
