How it shows up
A person with this line can say something in passing, and those are the words others remember for years. Their ideas sound fresh and clear, with no wish to impress. As a second line, they often don't notice their own gift until people start calling on them: "Tell us how you see it." The appeal of their inspiration lies in its naturalness. The moment a calculation for recognition creeps in, the brilliance dims and the words lose their power and lightness.
At its best
A gift of inspiration that is both attractive and useful to others. The person shares insights simply and sincerely, and that very directness is what makes them valuable.
The shadow
Having noticed their effect on others, the person starts wanting to amplify it. An illusion arises that every thought deserves attention and applause, and sincerity slowly fades.
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.
