How it shows up

Expectations are projected onto this line: people look to it for the practical answer that will change things. Its strength is a strategy of progress. Rather than smashing resistance, these people gradually adapt their ideas to relationships and circumstances while keeping the core intact. They sense the moment an insight will be heard and offer it then. The danger is adjusting too much to how others receive them, until the wish for harmony starts deciding what they are allowed to think.

At its best

A gift for sensing when, and to whom, an unusual idea can be entrusted. The breakthrough is advanced gradually, which is why it lasts instead of vanishing after the first wave of interest.

The shadow

Relying too heavily on how one is received. The wish to keep relationships smooth strengthens those who resist change, and one's own voice slowly dissolves into other people's expectations.

Exaltation and detriment

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