transition, almost there, care, promise
Lower trigram: Water ☵ · Upper trigram: Fire ☲
The judgment
You are close to the end of a crossing, but not there yet. Success is possible, as long as you don't let your guard down at the last moment, like the young fox that gets its tail wet just short of the far bank. Careful attention through to the finish turns promise into completion.
The image
Fire above Water: each moves away from the other and they have not yet met. Tell things apart with care, and put each one where it belongs before you try to bring them together.
The six lines
Read only the lines that changed in your casting, counting from the bottom.
- Line 1 (bottom): Charging ahead too early, you get your tail wet. Wait until you can see the whole crossing.
- Line 2: Brake the wheels: ready, but not yet moving. Steady patience brings good fortune.
- Line 3: You cannot force the last stretch with what you have. Change your approach, find new means or helpers, and then make the leap.
- Line 4: Steady effort pays off and regret fades. A long, hard push is finally rewarded.
- Line 5: Steady and sincere, you let your inner light shine, and others see it is genuine. Good fortune.
- Line 6 (top): Celebrate with trust and good cheer. But don't lose your head in the celebration and forget what got you here.
