How it shows up
A fourth line lives through its network of close people and friends, and that is where its generosity shows. People with this line gladly help with resources, time and advice, and they do it warmly rather than out of duty. They sense that on the other side there is another person with their own values, and they want to lift that person's quality of life. To keep this generosity from drying up, it helps to give selectively: to those who value help and can use it.
At its best
A big-hearted exchange that strengthens relationships and rewards the deserving. Such generosity empowers both giver and receiver because it is fitting and well judged.
The shadow
Giving to everyone indiscriminately without checking whether it helps anyone. The person loses strength and influence, and their kindness starts to be taken for granted.
Exaltation and detriment
In the activation table the line is marked ▲ (exaltation) when it is activated by Jupiter, and ▼ (detriment) when by Mars. Exaltation brings out the line at its best, detriment its shadow.
