How it shows up
People with this line have an intuitive intelligence and a gift for innovation that strengthen the group effort. They hold the group's focus and respect what binds people together, so their leadership ensures continuity. At the same time, the fifth line lives under the pressure of projection: it is expected to deliver solutions that work. When it does, trust grows. When it claims respect it has not yet earned, the projection quickly turns into disappointment.
At its best
A gift for leadership on the material plane: keeping the group focused, bringing fresh solutions and securing lasting prosperity and stability for the community.
The shadow
Assuming respect is owed automatically. The drive to lead runs ahead of real achievement, and people sense that the right to lead has not been earned yet.
Exaltation and detriment
In the activation table the line is marked ▲ (exaltation) when it is activated by Uranus, and ▼ (detriment) when by Jupiter. Exaltation brings out the line at its best, detriment its shadow.
