📜The Judgment

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

🏔The Image

Fire over water. The superior person is careful in the differentiation of things, so that each finds its place.

⚊The Lines

Yin

First (Bottom)

Gets the tail wet. Humiliating.

Yang

Second

One brakes the wheels. Perseverance brings good fortune.

Yin

Third

Before completion, attack brings misfortune. It furthers to cross the great water.

Yang

Fourth

Perseverance brings good fortune. Remorse disappears. Shock, thus to discipline the Devil's Country. For three years great realms are rewarded.

Yin

Fifth

Perseverance brings good fortune. No remorse. The light of the superior person is true. Good fortune.

Yang

Sixth (Top)

There is drinking of wine in genuine confidence. No blame. But wetting one's head brings loss of truth.
