Line 5, in the middle of trigram fire, It's the blue centre of the burning flame, the yin that gives the light and the heat.

And although it's yin on a yang spot, it's the ruler anyone can see. Because he/she is sincere.

It's also the last Palace from the House of The Creative. The house of the Free will. with this line the "spirits" can return to the origin again to start a new cycle.
A Frenchmen Morreleau who wrote about the 8 Houses said that the last Palace had to do with the principle of the Trigram of water. He said that the last Palace was part of the Family of water. And this family of water raises action principles.

And in the case of 14 there is a connection with 8(the last palace of the House of the Receptive(trigram Earth). the fortune of the Individual or that of the group.
In 14 they follow because of the individual sincerity, in 8 they follow because of the sincerity of ideas.

14.6
Nine at the top means:
He is blessed by heaven.
Good fortune.
Nothing that does not further.

In the fullness of possession and at the height of power,
one remains modest and gives honor to the sage who stands outside the affairs of the world.By this means one puts oneself under the beneficent influence from heaven, and all goes well. Confucius says about this line:

To bless means to help. Heaven helps the man who is devoted;
men help the man who is true. He who walks in truth and is
devoted in his thinking, and furthermore revers the worthy,
is blessed by heaven. He has good fortune, and there is nothing
that would not further.

"He is blessed by heaven"
What a good thought to have before us here in the United States as we gather to celebrate Thanksgiving Day tomorrow.

Line 6
"At the top one gets the protection of heaven itself. Advantageous."

WIth/from directing (14) comes invigoration (34)
