Changing lines

Line 2
The second line, magnetic, shows the king's servant struggling with difficulty on difficulty, and not with a view to her own advantage. Line two is the correctly magnetic correlate of the ruler in line five. Here we see that the moral value of conduct is independent of success or failure.
Line 4
The fourth line, magnetic, shows its subject advancing, but only to greater difficulties. She remains stationary, and unites with the line above. Line four is magnetic, and though in her proper place, she can do very little by herself. She is immediately below the king or great man however, and cultivates her loyal attachment, waiting for the time when she shall be required to act.
Line 5
The fifth line, dynamic, shows its subject struggling with the greatest difficulties, while friends are coming to help him. Line five is the king, the man great and strong. He can cope with the difficulties, and his "friends" are his correlate line two and the other two lines of the lower trigram who also give their help.
