53. Gradual Progress · 漸 初六

Line 1 of hexagram 53

In practice

Your first steps may be slow, and through lack of experience it may look at first as if you'll fail, so people will talk. Nothing to fear.

The poetry

The wild goose moves by degrees to the shore. The young one is in danger; there is talk. No fault.

初六:鴻漸于干,小子厲,有言,无咎。

象曰:小子之厲,義无咎也。
