How it shows up
This line discovers boundaries in practice, so these people often test what is allowed and see how others react. Through such trial and error they develop a fine sense of the rules of living together. Once that sense matures, they can respond to someone's misstep calmly and in proportion. Without it they swing between two extremes: constantly testing other people's limits, or harshly punishing others for that very same behaviour.
At its best
A feel for what's appropriate and a measured response to transgressions. They help the group keep order without offending people or eroding trust between them.
The shadow
Testing others' boundaries while harshly condemning the same thing in them. Such inconsistency wears relationships down and makes them unpredictable to those closest.
Exaltation and detriment
In the activation table the line is marked ▲ (exaltation) when it is activated by Jupiter, and ▼ (detriment) when by Mars. Exaltation brings out the line at its best, detriment its shadow.
