After the End becomes Gentleness

既濟 63 After the End 巽 57 Gentleness
Starting hexagram
Resulting hexagram

What this change means

Both trigrams become Wind as three lines move, so fire and water give way to a soft, persistent breeze. The judgments are weighed equally. The starting hexagram says the present success is likely to fade into stagnation, and that you can lessen the blow by preparing. The resulting hexagram, 57 Gentleness, says gains come now through gentleness rather than force or pressure: choose a path and stay on it, let small actions build up, and seek support from those above you. Combined, they suggest a quiet strategy for the slow time. Don't try to force a new burst of success. Pick a direction and keep going softly but steadily. Small, consistent actions tend to keep things moving where big efforts stall, and the support of people in a position to help makes the way easier.

What to read, in order

Marked ● is what Zhu Xi's tradition puts at the center for this number of moving lines.

  1. The judgment of 63 After the End

    You're in a situation where you'll have a passing success: everything seems to be in your favor, and at the end comes a period of stagnation. If you prepare for it ahead of time, you'll be able to soften its effects.

    Success in small things. Constancy is favorable. At first, good fortune; in the end, disorder.

  2. The judgment of 57 Gentleness

    It's a time when you'll gain and succeed through gentleness. This isn't the time for big actions, or for using pressure or force. It's a time to choose a path and stay on it steadily. Even if you don't see much progress, success will show itself through the build-up of small actions and through seeking the support of those above you.

    Small success. It is favorable to have somewhere to go. It is favorable to see the great person.

  3. Line 1 of 63 After the End

    If you try to move ahead too fast, you won't get results. But if you can stop and wait for better conditions, there will be achievements.

    Drags back on its wheels; wets its tail. No fault.

  4. Line 2 of 63 After the End

    Don't try to recover what you lose for now: it will come back to you naturally.

    The wife loses the screen of her carriage. Do not chase it: in seven days it is found.

  5. Line 6 of 63 After the End

    This is a period of advance: retreating or stopping will bring you trouble.

    Wets its head. Danger.
