Lasting constancy brings success and leaves nothing to fault; staying the course is rewarding, and it favors moving ahead.
Initial Six: Demanding lasting commitment before it's earned brings ongoing misfortune -- nothing good comes of forcing it this early.
Nine in the second: Remorse disappears.
Nine in the third: A character that won't hold steady invites shame -- and that embarrassment tends to stick around.
Nine in the fourth: No game in the field.
Six in the fifth: Holding steady to one's nature without deviation -- fitting and fortunate for someone in a supporting role, but a misfortune for someone meant to be leading and deciding.
Six at the top: Making agitation itself your steady state only brings misfortune.
