How it shows up
A sixth line first lives through many painful attempts to set things right, then withdraws to a distance, and later becomes an example of a calm attitude to change. It understands that mutation and the new arrive when they arrive and cannot be controlled. That outlook frees them from tension and gives the strength to keep going. Without this maturity, confusion may feel like a personal defeat and life can lose its meaning.
At its best
A mature acceptance that ordering is an ongoing process. They let go of pointless struggle and save their strength for what is actually possible. After each crisis, calm returns more quickly.
The shadow
When the chaos seems endless, a sense of meaninglessness creeps in. They may fall into despair and forget that a dark stretch is only a phase. Yet even this phase passes in time.
Exaltation and detriment
In the activation table the line is marked ▲ (exaltation) when it is activated by Sun, and ▼ (detriment) when by Pluto. Exaltation brings out the line at its best, detriment its shadow.
