How it shows up
People with this line can give themselves fully to the moment: a concert, a project, a new idea can sweep them up completely. At the same time an instinct tells them when to step back, because the excitement is starting to blur who they are. As a role model they show others, over time, that you can burn for something and still remain yourself. The hardest part is noticing the moment when you are no longer enjoying it but simply dissolving into someone else's rhythm.
At its best
The capacity to enjoy things fully while staying independent. The person withdraws in time as soon as they sense their integrity is at risk. Their joy only grows cleaner for it.
The shadow
Identifying too strongly with whatever thrills them. The person dissolves into the stimulus, loses their own footing and later takes a long time to pull themselves together.
Exaltation and detriment
In the activation table the line is marked ▲ (exaltation) when it is activated by Moon, and ▼ (detriment) when by Mercury. Exaltation brings out the line at its best, detriment its shadow.
