How it shows up
Others project expectations onto the fifth line and often put it in charge. The person is open to other people's ideas and listens carefully, but runs everything through their own vision and comes out with something new. That makes them a leader who grows along with the team. The fine line lies between openness and dissolving. If they take in advice too broadly, their own voice can get lost and their spirit falls under the sway of others' moods and expectations.
At its best
Emotional strength and spirit that grow from a position of influence. They rework others' advice innovatively and remain the one who truly sets the direction.
The shadow
Openness so wide that others' ideas gradually eclipse them. Emotional openness leaves the spirit exposed to conditioning, and they lose their own course.
Exaltation and detriment
In the activation table the line is marked ▲ (exaltation) when it is activated by Uranus, and ▼ (detriment) when by Sun. Exaltation brings out the line at its best, detriment its shadow.
