How it shows up

A sixth line passes through three stages: a youth of experiments, a period of detached observation, and maturity, when the person becomes an example. Over the years people with this line come to understand the limits of any leadership, and that is why they hold themselves to matching what is said with what is done. They are trusted because they do what they say. When they settle for fine statements instead, those around them sense it quickly and respond accordingly.

At its best

Leadership in which expression and action are one. The person's words are backed by deeds, so their influence is lasting and trust in them grows year by year.

The shadow

Superficial application that borders on hypocrisy: leading in words but not in action. Such leadership gets the treatment it deserves and quickly loses its authority.

Exaltation and detriment

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