How it shows up
People with this line can develop a single thought for years, regardless of the scepticism around them. Their strength is concentration: if the idea is truly deep, such devotion pays off in the end. The fourth line lives through its network, and it is in that circle that its stubborn knowing can find listeners. Still, it matters to tell depth apart from narrowness, to check honestly whether there is enough knowledge to stand firm, and not to wave off useful hints.
At its best
A steady, focused reliance on one's own insights. When thorough thinking backs them, obstacles are overcome that would have made others give up long ago, and the idea is carried through.
The shadow
Certainty of being right built on limited knowledge. Every piece of advice is brushed aside, the person speaks without depth, and then wonders why nobody seems to be listening.
Exaltation and detriment
In the activation table the line is marked ▲ (exaltation) when it is activated by Mercury, and ▼ (detriment) when by Jupiter. Exaltation brings out the line at its best, detriment its shadow.
