How it shows up
A fourth line works through a network of close people, and that is where its emotional energy burns brightest. People with this line get carried away, take on a lot and live everything to the full. Friends often catch their enthusiasm but are also the first to notice signs of overload. What works best is the habit of analysing feelings rather than only living them out: it lets the person keep the intensity without the bubble bursting.
At its best
High emotional energy that, once understood, leads to a positive outcome. The person inspires others with their passion and manages to reach the edge without falling over it.
The shadow
Uncontrolled expansion of feelings that ends in an outburst. The person lashes out at those closest to them and then takes a long time to recover from their own storm.
Exaltation and detriment
In the activation table the line is marked ▲ (exaltation) when it is activated by Pluto, and ▼ (detriment) when by Jupiter. Exaltation brings out the line at its best, detriment its shadow.
Frequently asked questions

This line lives at an unrealistic pace fuelled by very intense feelings. Passion and hyperactivity sit right next to the risk of emotional exhaustion. Burnout isn't inevitable, though: the ability to stop and reflect helps.
