The other thing about a 5th line day is that it is full of projection. So this is a day where everybody is speculating about everybody else. It’s a very good day to keep things practical, and other than practicality, stay out of sight.

On 5th line days is when people lose their reputations because if they’re not out there being practical, the world explodes on them. And people project on them that they are this or that or whatever the case may be. To do something frivolous on a 5th line day is to lose your reputation. And when I say lose your reputation, it means that your reputation gets scarred. There’s suddenly somebody who sees you as being less able, less willing, less capable, whatever the case may be.

And yet the moment that you can be practical on the 5th line day, offer a practical service, offer a practical solution, or do your practical work, your practical shopping, then everything is fine. Except the moment that it’s over, go back to your house and disappear.

On a 6th line day, you rest. You rest. And the way that you rest is that you get the best perspective that you can. Now that depends on the Type that you are. You either climb a mountain and sit on a hill, or you lie down in front of the TV, depending on what kind of view you want to have. But a 6th line day is just a day where you just sort of look around. It’s a day to be aloof. It’s a day to sit on the fence. It’s a day to just look and see what’s happened to you through the last five days of this transit.

After these three I never thought we’d have a good 4th line again but here we are and I love them so much

my 16/48 channel is entirely on the 4th line! if i'm engaging in something that's a skill, that needs practice, i usually engage in it because it's a way of connecting with other people. yes, i am a 2 by profile—but even my 2 craves recognition. so jumping off the docks while other people around but nobody was connecting with me just felt like a drain to my sacral energy.

I’m getting back into performing, slowly but surely. My guitar has sat, lonely, for too long. I have neglected what was a huge part of my life since moving to Winnipeg. It’s time to get back to the string-box once more.

I’ve been playing daily to build my calluses back up, and they’re coming along nicely. Now, if only I could remember all the songs & lyrics I used to know! Four years is a long…

they finally get a goal! by far our hardest working line
