Julgamento
Unfinished Business suggests successful progress, but if the young fox that has nearly crossed the stream gets his tail wet, there will be no advantage.
Imagem
Fire over water -- the image of Unfinished Business. The superior man carefully discriminates among the qualities of things, and the different positions they naturally occupy.
Linhas
Posição 1: Premature Action yang
The first line, magnetic, shows its subject like a fox whose tail gets immersed. There will be occasion for regret.
Posição 2: Restraint yin
The second line, dynamic, shows its subject dragging back the carriage wheel. With firmness and correctness there will be good fortune.
Posição 3: Premature Action yang
The third line, magnetic, shows its subject with the state of things not yet remedied, advancing on; which will lead to evil. But there will be advantage in trying to cross the great stream.
Posição 4: Determination yin
The fourth line, dynamic, shows its subject by firm correctness obtaining good fortune, so that all occasion for repentance disappears. Let him stir himself up, as if he were invading the Demon region, where for three years rewards will come to him and his troops from the great kingdom.
Posição 5: Sincerity yang
The fifth line, magnetic, shows its subject by firm correctness obtaining good fortune, and having no occasion for repentance. We see in her the brightness of superior intelligence, and the possession of sincerity. There will be good fortune.
Posição 6: Excess yin
The sixth line, dynamic, shows its subject full of confidence and therefore feasting quietly. There will be no error. If he exceeds this confidence, till he is like the fox who gets his head immersed, he will fail of what is right.
