53. Gradual Progress · 漸 六四
Line 4 of hexagram 53
In practice
In the middle of your progress, situations come up that are out of your control. Don't despair: act with caution and respond wisely to these obstacles. That way you'll stay safe while conditions improve.
The poetry
The wild goose moves by degrees to the tree. Perhaps it finds a flat branch. No fault.
六四：鴻漸于木，或得其桷，无咎。
象曰：或得其桷，順以巽也。
