How it shows up
Others project expectations onto the fifth line, and when the person stops, people want to know why. Their gift is a clear, concise answer that puts everything in place. Focus lets them see the core of a situation and put it into words without padding. If the pause drags on, though, the focus slips and the explanations get tangled. So it serves them to speak once the thought has ripened, not because they feel pushed.
At its best
A terse but exceedingly accurate statement. Inaction and focus lead them to the details that make an explanation clear and convincing to others. One sentence from them is worth a long speech.
The shadow
Convoluted talk that others read as enigmatic and simply don't follow. Too much inaction blurs the focus, and fog takes the place of detail. Then their silence only confuses people.
Exaltation and detriment
In the activation table the line is marked ▲ (exaltation) when it is activated by Earth, and ▼ (detriment) when by Pluto. Exaltation brings out the line at its best, detriment its shadow.
