How it shows up
When outside circumstances slow activity down, people with this line do not waste the time: they analyse, organise and prepare the ground for what comes next. They often enjoy short-term projects that keep them in shape while the longer plans wait. The fourth line relies on its network, and new opportunities most often arrive through it. When activity resumes, everything is already in place for a fast move forward.
At its best
The good sense to use an enforced pause for restructuring. Long-term goals are prepared, and when circumstances change, the person is the first to set off with confidence.
The shadow
Resisting restructuring in the hope that things will sort themselves out. When activity resumes, the change has to be made anyway, in a rush and at a cost.
Exaltation and detriment
In the activation table the line is marked ▲ (exaltation) when it is activated by Sun, and ▼ (detriment) when by Earth. Exaltation brings out the line at its best, detriment its shadow.
