Linea 4
The fourth SIX, divided, shows its subject quietly and naturally (attentive to all) regulations. There will be progress and success.
Linea 5
The fifth NINE, undivided, shows its subject sweetly and acceptably enacting his regulations. There will be good fortune. The onward progress with them will afford ground for admiration.
