Hexagram 64 of 64
未济 · Before Completion
Upper Trigram
Fire
Lower Trigram
Water
Description
The final transition. Fire over water — not yet across. The last step demands the greatest care.
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. Thus the superior person is careful in the differentiation of things, so that each finds its place.
