How it shows up
People with this line try many things: new activities, places, roles. Not every attempt is met with recognition, and that is where their foundation is laid. If they understand how change works, they treat rejection as information: that didn't work, on to the next. Artists know this well, showing their work a hundred times before anyone notices. Without that understanding, every "no" hits their self-worth and dampens the urge to try again.
At its best
Accepting rejection calmly as part of the road. They keep looking for new experience, knowing that every failed attempt brings them closer to the one that works and leaves them wiser.
The shadow
Experiencing rejection as humiliation. Each "no" then wears down their sense of worth, and they either stop trying altogether or turn the disappointment against themselves.
Exaltation and detriment
In the activation table the line is marked ▲ (exaltation) when it is activated by Venus, and ▼ (detriment) when by Neptune. Exaltation brings out the line at its best, detriment its shadow.
