How it shows up
A second line has a natural talent that others recognise and respond to. Here it is a rare blend: the person can sustain effort for a long time while sensing finely when their persistence starts to breed conflict. They are often invited into ventures that need both stamina and tact. The risk appears when caution wins out: the person backs away from something worth finishing just to avoid making the situation worse.
At its best
The strength to sustain a chosen course steadily and serve as an example of endurance. Persistence here comes with sensitivity, so people are glad to walk alongside.
The shadow
Overcaution when carrying on seems the same as escalating a conflict. The person holds back their yes and leaves unfinished something that was worth completing.
Exaltation and detriment
In the activation table the line is marked ▲ (exaltation) when it is activated by Sun, and ▼ (detriment) when by Venus. Exaltation brings out the line at its best, detriment its shadow.
