How it shows up
People with this line know their worth and do not care much about being liked by everyone. They are naturally gifted and often have a strong sense of the body, of movement and presence. Others recognise the talent and call on them even when they are hard to work with. The second line needs its own space and dislikes being rushed. The key is for the demands to rest on real mastery, not on expecting the world to acknowledge it in advance.
At its best
A determination to succeed backed by genuine talent. Even with a complicated character, the depth of skill makes the person irreplaceable in their craft and field.
The shadow
The unrealistic demands and offensive tone of self-centred mediocrity: wanting to be treated as a star before anything has actually been achieved. Others soon stop indulging it.
Exaltation and detriment
In the activation table the line is marked ▲ (exaltation) when it is activated by Sun, and ▼ (detriment) when by Mars. Exaltation brings out the line at its best, detriment its shadow.
