未濟

64. Not yet completed

wèijì · Fire ☲ over Water ☵

Close to the goal, but not there yet.

The Noble One's Path

Fire above water — elements side by side, but not yet in full accord. The last step calls for precise judgment about what still needs setting in order.

The Lesson

Finish precisely what remains. Keep the discipline you had at the start, all the way to the very end.

A question to sit with

What do I need to refine now, to effectively close out what I began?
