How it shows up
A sixth line first goes through sharp emotional clashes, then steps back to observe, and in time becomes an example of a mature attitude to friction. It can take a step towards reconciliation without demanding the same in return, and that halts escalation. Such behaviour requires discipline and inner integrity. Yet peacemaking only works when the terms are fair to everyone, not merely convenient for them.
At its best
Emotional strength that allows them to end a conflict single-handedly. They offer peace not out of weakness but out of respect for life and relationships.
The shadow
A peacemaker whose actions are just but whose terms others cannot accept. Even good intentions then fail to bring real reconciliation. The conflict smoulders on.
Exaltation and detriment
In the activation table the line is marked ▲ (exaltation) when it is activated by Mercury, and ▼ (detriment) when by Venus. Exaltation brings out the line at its best, detriment its shadow.
