How it shows up
People with this line repeatedly find themselves left out of a venture, not invited to share resources or simply overlooked. Through trial and error they develop an instinct for becoming part of the process anyway: negotiating, proving their worth, dismantling the formality that stands in the way. Sometimes this means putting up with discomfort or even humiliation. Over time the experience of exclusion makes them very attentive to others who stand on the outside.
At its best
An instinct for finding a way into the shared effort even after refusal. Any reasonable step is taken to be included, and in the end the person earns a place in the circle.
The shadow
An aggressive, sometimes explosive reaction to being left out. Frustration is unloaded onto people, and the quarrel only shuts doors that might still have been opened.
Exaltation and detriment
In the activation table the line is marked ▲ (exaltation) when it is activated by Neptune, and ▼ (detriment) when by Mars. Exaltation brings out the line at its best, detriment its shadow.
