28. Excesses · 大過 上六
Line 6 of hexagram 28
In practice
When, despite the drawbacks, you decide to take on extraordinary undertakings, you'll be exposed to danger and loss, but you'll have the satisfaction of knowing you did everything in your power.
The poetry
Wading too far, the water closes over the crown of the head. Misfortune. No fault.
上六：過涉滅頂，凶，无咎。
象曰：過涉之凶，不可咎也。
