Julian Giant Squid (zhu) is playing cards with Martin Luther King (王) in the space station (Ø3). It's Martin Luther King's turn, and he holds a petal (丶) in his hand high above his head: it's his trump card, and on it depicted is the Lord (主) himself.

Mnemonic symbol: a nation's flag. Let's say the Chinese flag.
In the observatory's kitchen (o2) Gitta Giraffe (gu) is practising her ballet performance. She got a whole crate (囗) full of jade bracelets (玉) and flags (国) and fixed one flag to each jade bracelet. This makes a perfect combination for throwing the ring with the flag waving behind it and catching the ring again after a few pirouettes.
