36. Darkness · 明夷 九三
Line 3 of hexagram 36
In practice
A small stroke of luck lets you move forward, but the obstacles aren't overcome yet, so don't celebrate too soon. Stay alert until they're fully defeated.
The poetry
The wounded light on the southern hunt: the great chief is taken. Constancy must not be hurried.
九三：明夷于南狩，得其大首，不可疾貞。
象曰：南狩之志，乃大得也。
