How it shows up
A first line seeks a foundation, and for this gate that means the basic values of family or community. The person often lands in new surroundings, such as another country, profession or circle, and learns to blend the familiar with the new. They want to be effective and successful, yet they grow best when leaning on their deepest strengths. Shame about the past only gets in the way; maturity lies in refining, not denying.
At its best
Knowing that growing and refining one's values serves one's path. They take the best of where they come from and build a confident future on it. Their story encourages others who are starting from scratch.
The shadow
Dissatisfaction or embarrassment about one's roots that turns into an obsession with refinement. The urge to appear polished hides what is genuinely valuable.
Exaltation and detriment
In the activation table the line is marked ▲ (exaltation) when it is activated by Mars, and ▼ (detriment) when by Venus. Exaltation brings out the line at its best, detriment its shadow.
