How it shows up

This line learns by trial and error, so transitions come often in its life: break-ups, moves, career changes, new stages. Every crisis adds experience in how to get through such moments. It shows at its best when it closes the old boldly and builds the new on what it has already understood. The difficulty is that feelings aren't always ready to release the past, and the person tries to carry old habits, relationships or grievances into the new chapter.

At its best

The ability to start again after upheaval. They go through the crisis all the way and build a new order stronger than the last, drawing on everything they lived through.

The shadow

Accepting change in the head while dragging the past along. What was never let go slowly regains strength and undermines the new chapter from within. The new never fully begins.

Exaltation and detriment

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