How it shows up
People with this line hold knowledge that, for a while, no one seems to need or even see. Through trial and error they learn that this does not make it worthless: the environment may not be ready, or they have not yet found their audience. The key is remembering that this state passes. Its very transience can be a source of strength, and in time circumstances arise in which their depth is called for.
At its best
Understanding that depth and taste take a long time to develop and that being overlooked passes. This gives the strength to keep learning and not lose faith in one's talent.
The shadow
Deep anxiety when knowledge seems lost in the wilderness. The long road of development comes with the fear that one's depth will never be enough and will never be noticed.
Exaltation and detriment
In the activation table the line is marked ▲ (exaltation) when it is activated by Moon, and ▼ (detriment) when by Mercury. Exaltation brings out the line at its best, detriment its shadow.
