Hexagram 64: Before Completion
彖 · Tuan
Judgment
Success. The little fox nearly crosses, but wets its tail. Nothing is favorable.
Judgment Commentary · 彖傳
Not Yet Completed means success because the yielding gains the center. The little fox nearly crosses, but has not yet come out from the center. Wetting its tail means nothing is favorable because it does not carry through to the end. Although the places are not appropriate, the firm and the yielding still correspond.
