How it shows up
The name sounds harsh, but this isn't about anything shameful. It's energy that won't fit inside the frame of what is "proper". People with this line take joy in challenging authority and the usual way of things. As a second line, they don't always notice it, yet others see them as a resource and bring strange projects their way. Much of that turns out creative and valuable to society; some is simply wasted effort. The key is to sense honestly what they really want to spend their joy on.
At its best
The courage to back the unconventional where others fear judgement. This energy feeds creative, provocative ideas and keeps the world from freezing into templates.
The shadow
Stimulation for its own sake. Energy flows into indulgence and into things that make both the person and those around them unhappy. In time comes the sense that strength was spent on nothing.
Exaltation and detriment
In the activation table the line is marked ▲ (exaltation) when it is activated by —, and ▼ (detriment) when by Uranus. Exaltation brings out the line at its best, detriment its shadow.
