The Situation

64. Wei Chi - Before Completion
Above (in front): Li - The Clinging (Fire)
Below (behind): K'an - The Abysmal (Water)




The Judgement for the Current Situation

Before Completion. Success.
But if the little fox, after nearly completing the crossing,
Gets his tail in the water,
There is nothing that would further.


The Image for the Current Situation

Fire over water:
The image of the condition before transition.
Thus the superior man is careful
In the differentiation of things,
So that each finds its place.


Interpretation of the Changing Line(s)

Line 1: He gets his tail in the water.
Humiliating.

Line 3: Before completion, attack brings misfortune.
It furthers one to cross the great water.


The Future

14. Ta Yu - Possession in Great Measure
Above (in front): Li - The Clinging (Fire)
Below (behind): Ch'ien - The Creative (Heaven)


The Judgement for the Future

Possession in Great Measure.
Supreme success.


The Image for the Future

Fire in heaven above:
The image of Possession in Great Measure.
Thus the superior man curbs evil and furthers good,
And thereby obeys the benevolent will of heaven.
