How it shows up
People with this line often find themselves in situations that demand risk, and by trial and error they discover which risks are worth it. They may choose unexpected paths, but the best results come when a bold step is backed by prudence. The danger is that the mind quickly finds convincing reasons for a risk the gut doesn't support. At that point failure is practically built in before the start.
At its best
A basic prudence even in the boldest ventures. The person feels an intuitive caution that helps them take risks wisely and stay on their feet when things go wrong.
The shadow
Rationalising risk, convincing oneself the gamble is sure to pay off. Such decisions are often doomed because they rest on wishful thinking rather than instinct.
Exaltation and detriment
In the activation table the line is marked ▲ (exaltation) when it is activated by Saturn, and ▼ (detriment) when by Jupiter. Exaltation brings out the line at its best, detriment its shadow.
