Before Completion

Hexagram 64 is the little fox almost across the river, getting its tail wet at the last step. You are close today and the final stretch is where the care is needed. Nothing that furthers, the text says, if you slacken now. Do not celebrate on the far bank until you are actually standing on it.

For your star sign

The same reading, taken through each sign of the zodiac.

Aries

The little fox almost across gets its tail wet at the last step. You are close and the final stretch is where the care goes. Do not celebrate on the far bank until you are standing on it.

Taurus

You are nearly there and your endurance is the asset. Nothing furthers if you slacken now, says the text, and slackening at the end is the one failure available to you.

Gemini

Almost across, and you will start describing the crossing before it is finished. Finish it silently and describe it afterwards.

Cancer

You are close and will withdraw at the last step out of caution. The tail gets wet from hesitation as much as from haste. Cross.

Leo

You are nearly there and will announce the arrival early. The fox is not across yet. Say nothing until your feet are dry.

Virgo

Almost complete and you will find one more thing to check. The checking is now the risk. Cross, then inspect.

Libra

You are nearly across and will reconsider the whole route. Not now. Complete the crossing and evaluate from the bank.

Scorpio

You are close and will not celebrate, which is correct. Just do not stall at the last step to avoid the exposure of arriving.

Sagittarius

Nearly there, and your instinct is to look at the next river. The tail gets wet exactly here. Finish this one.

Capricorn

You are close and will maintain discipline, which is right. The caution is exhaustion at the final stretch rather than carelessness.

Aquarius

Almost across and you will redesign the crossing mid-river. Finish it as designed and improve the next one.

Pisces

You are nearly there and the last stretch is where attention drifts. Stay with it. Nothing furthers if you slacken now.

For your Chinese animal

The same reading, taken through each animal of the Chinese zodiac.

Rat

Almost across, and you will start counting the gain before your feet are dry. The tail gets wet exactly here.

Ox

You are nearly there and your endurance is the asset. Nothing furthers if you slacken at the last step.

Tiger

Nearly across and you will declare it done. Finish it silently and describe it afterwards. Move once, deliberately, and then stop pushing.

Rabbit

You are close and will hesitate at the last step. The tail gets wet from hesitation as much as haste.

Dragon

You are nearly there and will announce the arrival early. The fox is not across yet. Set the direction and hand the detail to somebody else.

Snake

Almost complete and you will find one more thing to check. The checking is now the risk. Consider whether what you know is more useful said.

Horse

Nearly there, and your instinct is to look at the next river. Finish this one first. Choose one before the energy chooses for you.

Goat

You are close and will lose confidence at the final stretch. Cross. It is nearly done. Ask for help before you are emptied by it.

Monkey

Almost across and you will redesign the crossing mid-river. Finish as designed and improve the next. Ask whether it needs solving at all today.

Rooster

You are close and disciplined, which is right. The caution is exhaustion rather than carelessness. Check the correction improves the work, not the record.

Dog

You are nearly there and will stop to check nobody is left behind. Cross first, then look back.

Pig

Almost across and attention drifts at the end. Stay with it; nothing furthers if you slacken now. Notice who is asking, and how often they ask.
