    Short Summary

    Free

    Water above fire — each element perfectly in place. The picture of completion — and of the fragility that follows.

    Something in your life has just been completed. A project, a phase, a long effort. The hexagram honors this, but is immediately honest: completion is not an endpoint. It is a turning point. What you do in the period after success determines everything that follows.

    Water above fire

    each line now exactly right;

    and the sliding begins.
