49. Renewal · 革 上六
Line 6 of hexagram 49
In practice
Take stock of the changes you can actually make now, given the circumstances. A change that's too ambitious has to wait for a better time.
The poetry
The noble person changes like the leopard; the petty person changes face. Setting out brings misfortune. Abiding in constancy brings good fortune.
上六：君子豹變，小人革面，征凶，居貞吉。
象曰：君子豹變，其文蔚也。小人革面，順以從君也。
