How it shows up
The sixth line passes through three phases: gathering experience, then viewing life from a little distance, and later becoming an example. For the gate of values this means the authority of someone who knows the community's rules and takes responsibility for them. They are respected not only for firmness but for speaking in a way that leaves no one humiliated. Their own mood swings are the main thing to learn to notice.
At its best
The strength to uphold one's values while keeping relationships warm. Even hard decisions are made in a way that keeps the group together. People follow them willingly, not out of fear.
The shadow
Moodiness that, in a position of authority, can offend and alienate. Values are kept, but at the cost of harmony and shared effectiveness. Learning to wait until the mood settles makes all the difference.
Exaltation and detriment
In the activation table the line is marked ▲ (exaltation) when it is activated by Venus, and ▼ (detriment) when by Moon. Exaltation brings out the line at its best, detriment its shadow.
