How it shows up
The second line has a natural flair that others often notice. Once the first step works, people call the person onward, and they pick up speed easily. Their strength lies in protecting an early success: not scattering it, not giving everything away at once, letting the venture settle. Pressure from the Root may push them towards something new before the previous thing has taken root. A pause between starts often proves the best investment.
At its best
Protecting early success so it nurtures further achievement. They use the momentum they have built to start new things on the basis of results already proven.
The shadow
Haste and recklessness after the first win. The pressure of success makes them impatient for the next thing, and they abandon what they started before it has had time to grow strong.
Exaltation and detriment
In the activation table the line is marked ▲ (exaltation) when it is activated by Moon, and ▼ (detriment) when by Mars. Exaltation brings out the line at its best, detriment its shadow.
