After the End becomes The Traveler

What to read, in order

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

1. ●Line 2 of 56 The Traveler, which stays still

   You carry with you the resources you need to be secure wherever you are and whatever comes up. You'll draw help from simple, capable people.

   The traveler reaches the inn, carries their goods close, and gains a young servant who is loyal.

2. ●Line 3 of 56 The Traveler, which stays still

   If you lose your kindness now and turn irritable and aggressive, you'll bring on trouble.

   The traveler burns down the inn and loses the young servant. Constancy is in danger.

3. 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.

4. 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.

5. Line 4 of 63 After the End

   If you get careless during times of expansion, old unresolved matters may come to light. Stay alert so you can put them right.

   There are rags for the leaks in the boat; on guard all day long.

6. Line 5 of 63 After the End

   If your actions come from the heart and are genuine, a small action can bring great results.

   The eastern neighbor slaughters an ox; it is not worth the simple offering of the western neighbor, who truly receives the blessing.

7. Line 6 of 63 After the End

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

   Wets its head. Danger.

8. The judgment of 56 The Traveler

   It's a time of small achievements. Keep a light, flexible attitude. You may be facing a period of change, new places or situations that ask you to adapt while they settle: let go of attachments and be gracious as you make new connections and your situation takes hold.

   Small success. For the traveler, constancy brings good fortune.
