          And does not change his direction.

          Six at the beginning means:
          Seeking duration too hastily brings misfortune persistently.
          Nothing that would further.

     ()   Nine in the second place means:
          Remorse disappears.

          Six in the fifth place means:
          Giving duration to one's character through perseverance.
          This is good fortune for a woman, misfortune for a man.
