How it shows up

People with this line find out by trial and error which people and ideas strengthen them and which pull them down. They may get excited about new teams and movements, quickly take on a leading role and then grow disillusioned. Over time they develop the ability to weigh carefully whom to associate with and to adjust their behaviour to the right context. The biggest risk is an enthusiasm that welcomes anyone willing to follow.

At its best

Carefully assessing and choosing the right influence, then acting accordingly. The strength of leadership grows through ties with people who truly support the goal.

The shadow

A runaway eagerness to lead anyone who agrees to follow. Being unselective about followers and allies can end in public humiliation and the loss of a reputation that took years to build.

Exaltation and detriment

In the activation table the line is marked ▲ (exaltation) when it is activated by Sun, and ▼ (detriment) when by Jupiter. Exaltation brings out the line at its best, detriment its shadow.
