How it shows up
This line lives in phases and understands the limits of its energy better with every year. Early on it often grabs everything at once, because the strength seems endless. Later comes the ability to watch from a distance and weigh what is really worth the effort. In maturity the person becomes an example of using power sensibly, without chasing every opportunity or running themselves into the ground.
At its best
A sober sense of limits. They let go of the excess in time and keep their strength for what they can sustain over the long run, so their efforts bring lasting results.
The shadow
Enthusiasm overriding good judgment. Without inner limits they pile on too much, complicate their own lives and gradually drain their strength. Momentum outruns sense.
Exaltation and detriment
In the activation table the line is marked ▲ (exaltation) when it is activated by Earth, and ▼ (detriment) when by Jupiter. Exaltation brings out the line at its best, detriment its shadow.
