Line 1 - Qualification
Exalted: (Neptune) A knowing that arrives from somewhere beneath thought, telling you when to fight and how. Because you are tuned to it, the action you take fits the actual circumstances in front of you.
Detriment: (Mars) The drive to oppose as a general rule. Rather than weighing up whether this particular fight is really yours, you simply fight, and the circumstances stop shaping the decision at all.
Line 2 - Politeness
Exalted: (Pluto) Opposition that stays inside the normal codes of behaviour. You have an instinct for discretion, and knowing what not to say is often exactly what keeps the fight winnable.
Detriment: (Moon) Politeness laid on so thick it turns servile and obviously hollow. The courtesy stops convincing anyone, and it quietly undermines the very position you were trying to defend.
Line 3 - Alliance
Exalted: (Sun) The ability to keep going by joining forces with those whose fight sits close to yours. Combining strength gives you the vitality to persevere through struggles too long to carry on your own.
Detriment: (Earth) An alliance that runs on somebody else's energy. You stay strong all the way through the struggle, but it is your partners who get drained, and the arrangement quietly serves only you.
Line 4 - Investigation
Exalted: (Pluto) Working out who is actually worth having beside you. Like a detective, or an insider who joins the cause, you build the shared opposition that can only work when the trust between you is real.
Detriment: (Mars) Adrenalin turning into aggression. The heat of the fight clouds your judgment about people, the investigating gets skipped, and you lose the ability to tell who can be trusted.
Line 5 - Alienation
Exalted: (Saturn) The stage of a struggle where you are completely on your own. The ambition and the concentration are there, and you can stubbornly go on fighting with nobody standing beside you.
Detriment: (Pluto) The same isolation, felt as confinement. The pain of being alone in the fight blinds you to the fact that help exists, and that someone may yet come to your side.
Line 6 - Misunderstanding
Exalted: (Saturn) Opposition with nothing solid underneath it. In time things crystallise, the misunderstanding clears, and the fight ends. Until then, you have the stubbornness to hold your position steady.
Detriment: (Earth) Recognising that a misunderstanding sits at the root of the struggle, while insisting the misunderstanding belongs to the other side. The stubbornness then goes into holding your ground rather than clearing the air.
