The Judgement

Success. But if the little fox, after nearly completing the crossing, gets his tail in the water, there is nothing that would further.

Not yet across; the crossing is possible if you keep your footing.

The Image

Fire over water; the noble one is careful in the differentiation of things, so that each finds its place.

This hexagram on ten matters

Not yet across, and the turn is in sight. Finish as carefully as you began. The little fox, nearly over, gets its tail in the water — one step remains, and care decides it.

LoveRELATIONSHIP

Not settled, but hopeful. Careful in the differentiation of things so each finds its place: clarify the positions and it can work.

MoneyFINANCE

Not yet harvest time. He brakes his wheels, perseverance brings good fortune — steadying beats sprinting now.

HealthBODY

Still recovering; do not declare yourself well early. The characteristic mistake in this hexagram is assuming it is already over.

StudyLEARNING

Nearly there, not there. The light of the superior man is true, good fortune — keep going; the light is already present.

An examEXAM

Not quite there. Finish as carefully as you began; keep preparing to the end and the result is within reach.

PeopleSOCIAL

Still forming. Your patience now decides the outcome.

A choiceDECISION

Wait one more step. Before completion, attack brings misfortune — yet it furthers one to cross the great water. Be decisive when the time comes; it is not quite here.

TravelJOURNEY

Feasible, but this is not necessarily the destination. If one wets his head, he loses it — do not slacken at the last.

A lost itemLOST ITEM

Not yet found, but there is hope. Keep looking; do not give up at the last step.
