What this change means
Water stands above fire: four lines move and the great possession reaches a point of completion. In 63 After the End, the still lines guide you. The first says that rushing ahead won't bring results, while stopping to wait for better conditions will. The third says that expanding now would require extreme measures to clear the obstacles in the way. So things are in order, and that's precisely the moment to be careful. Don't try to grow further right now; the cost would be high. Consolidate. Wait for conditions to improve before taking the next step. Think ahead about where trouble could come from and prepare for it. A success held carefully can soften the slowdown that tends to follow completion.
What to read, in order

- The judgment of 63 After the End
You're in a situation where you'll have a passing success: everything seems to be in your favor, and at the end comes a period of stagnation. If you prepare for it ahead of time, you'll be able to soften its effects.
Success in small things. Constancy is favorable. At first, good fortune; in the end, disorder.
