Lines — six stages of development of this energy and possible extremes in its manifestation:
Line 1
Humility. The ability to accept rejection..
Venus exalted.
The artist that accepts rejection as part of the process. Acceptance of change and rejection as part of the process.
Neptune in detriment.
A self-destructive reaction to rejection. Loss of worth. Change and rejection as humiliation.
Line 2
Creative block. Lack of inspiration which stops progress.
Venus exalted.
Attunement with the vagaries of the muse and the recognition, creativity is energy that ebbs and flows. Creativity and the muse will always come and go.
The Moon in detriment.
The need to take action, however mundane, to overcome the feeling of emptiness. The actions being uninspired do not further progress. The need for change and the fear of stasis.
Line 3
Collaboration. The whole is greater than the sum of its parts.
Jupiter exalted.
Benefic encouragement of others that expands personal as well as communal progress. The ability to bring progressive change into other's lives.
Sun in detriment.
The need to be the center that ignores the importance of others. The need to be the center for progress.
Line 4
Hunger. The insatiable appetite for progress.
The Moon exalted.
Less severe. Symbolized by the phases of the Moon, the drive may be obsessive when the Moon is full, but like the fading of the Moon the obsession abates. Change for change's sake. The drive lessens with age.
Mars in detriment.
The abuse of position to accumulate perks with the inevitable retribution from those unfairly deprived. The drive for progress that will ultimately step on toes and lead to recrimination.
Line 5
Altruism. The sacrifice of personal for communal progress.
Mercury exalted.
The principles of interaction and harmony communicated successfully for the bene- fit of the whole. Progressive communication that can bring beneficial change to the whole.
Jupiter in detriment.
Jupiter in detriment, though altruistic and cooperative in general, a personal regret that in interaction a greater personal expansion had been lost. Progressive communication, but always the sense that personal progress has been sacrificed.
Line 6
Rectification. The energy to correct.
Saturn exalted.
The process of crystallization coupled with ambition that assures timely and effective correction. Progressive change that results from correction.
Mars in detriment.
A destructive tendency that in its personal application may be the necessary sever- ity to ensure correction but when applied generally, it will meet with resistance and tend to reinforce rather than rectify situations. Correction which brings change through severity and even destruction, and will always meet resistance.
This is the center of self-expression. Everything that happens in your Consciousness and at the Subconscious level finds its expression in the outer world through words or actions, that is, through the Throat Center.
