How it shows up
As a first line, it looks for a basis beneath what it says. People with this line love sharing experiences and impressions, but their strength is substance: they choose what is worth talking about and put real value into their words. Their stories stick because there is a point to them. The trap appears when the ego wants to impress at any cost. Then energy goes into trivia and the story loses its weight.
At its best
A practical sense that even short undertakings should be worthwhile. They express ideas that are useful to others and leave something of value behind.
The shadow
An urge to make an impression that wastes energy on trivial pursuits. The drive to stimulate pushes them to voice any thought at all, however empty. Listeners soon tire of it.
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.
