The image of Water over Fire
While you are celebrating that everything is in order
there are still some small tasks to complete. Details.
When things are in perfect order is when they can change and return to disorder.
When the moon is full is exactly when it begins to wane.
Caution! Be wary of hubris that could cause things to fall apart too soon.
Nine in the first place
You have completed a big task, perhaps celebrating, drunk with happiness.
Stop for a while to reflect so that you are not knocked down by unexpected obstruction.

You have completed an important task.
Recognition will inevitably come to you. No need to run after it.
Wait. What truly belongs to you cannot be taken away.

Nine in the third place
Fatigue sets in this new cycle of changes. Rest for a while.
Do not use force or attempt to help your situation.
See what unfolds in the new time of completion.
Find qualified people to work with.
Things can be difficult in the beginning.

Nine the the fifth place
A timely offering from the heart is better than ostentatious riches.
It is not important what others value if they are of no value to you.
Be patient. All good things happen in their own time.
Be grateful for your blessings and all that you have accomplished.

Paintings and Prescriptions hexagram 36.
Six in the last place
After completing a big project don’t think about what you could have done or should have done. You will ruin your sense of achievement and you won’t change a thing. Don’t look back. Look forward to the next cycle of changes.
