How it shows up
Others often project expectations onto people with this line: they are the ones who should solve what nobody else could. When the situation really calls for it, they act decisively and see it through. The art lies in using that much force only when there is no other way. The difficulty comes after the win: habits built for the fight don't vanish by themselves, and it can feel as though nothing has ever been settled for good.
At its best
Decisiveness that goes all the way and knows when to stop. They release their power only when truly needed, then slip back easily into a calm rhythm. Power serves the task.
The shadow
Living in constant readiness for battle. Fighting habits remain even when there is no resistance left, and the sense that the threat will return wears them out.
Exaltation and detriment
In the activation table the line is marked ▲ (exaltation) when it is activated by Mars, and ▼ (detriment) when by Moon. Exaltation brings out the line at its best, detriment its shadow.
