How it shows up
People with this line feel good when they have their own order: schedules, lists, familiar steps. It's within this routine that details accumulate, and from them precise knowledge later forms. To keep monotony from smothering them, they add fantasy to it: they imagine, play, invent little scenarios of their own. It isn't escape; it's a way to keep attention alive. When the urge to speak out overrides attentiveness, though, details get lost and the temptation to drop everything appears.
At its best
The ability to overcome the boredom of routine through a rich, daring imagination. Fantasy helps organise details and makes even the most ordinary work interesting and alive.
The shadow
Rebellion against routine that burns a great deal of energy. The need to express ignores the details, and the person loses the footing their organisation rested on.
Exaltation and detriment
In the activation table the line is marked ▲ (exaltation) when it is activated by Neptune, and ▼ (detriment) when by Mars. Exaltation brings out the line at its best, detriment its shadow.
