How it shows up
A sixth line passes through three stages: the experiences of youth, a period of distance, and maturity, when the person becomes an example. Having been through disappointment, they learn to care soberly, relying on instinct and feeling rather than guilt. Such a person won't let their kindness be exploited, yet doesn't shut others out either. They can teach those around them how to support without burning out, and how to see where help really fits.
At its best
A practical, realistic approach to caring, guided by instinct. The person knows the limits of their capacity exactly, and that is why they give reliably and without strain.
The shadow
Excessive suspicion that keeps care from ever being expressed. The person sees a possible trick everywhere and refuses support even to those who deserve it.
Exaltation and detriment
In the activation table the line is marked ▲ (exaltation) when it is activated by Moon, and ▼ (detriment) when by Pluto. Exaltation brings out the line at its best, detriment its shadow.
