How it shows up
By nature, people with this line carry a reserve of energy that others notice and want to draw on. They can keep a steady pace for a long time, and once the result is in sight, they get an extra push. What matters is that this push doesn't become haste: the last stretch is exactly where an unnecessary move is easiest to make. They do best in work that brings a real inner yes; then the momentum lasts and stays even.
At its best
Building energy that doesn't throw them off course. The closer success gets, the calmer and more focused they become, so they often finish what others abandon.
The shadow
Getting carried away by the scent of victory and rushing. Impatience caps the growth of their power, and a result that was nearly in hand can slip away through one careless move.
Exaltation and detriment
In the activation table the line is marked ▲ (exaltation) when it is activated by Mars, and ▼ (detriment) when by Venus. Exaltation brings out the line at its best, detriment its shadow.
