29. Water · 坎 六三

Line 3 of hexagram 29

In practice

It's time to stop, watch and act only when you're sure that moving forward will lead to success. Ask for inner guidance.

The poetry

Coming and going: pit and pit. Danger, and depth besides. Entering the bottom of the pit. Do not act.

六三:來之坎坎,險且枕,入于坎窞,勿用。

象曰:來之坎坎,終无功也。
