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.
