Traditional Reading of I Ching Hexagram 63, After the Conclusion

I Ching Hexagram 63

The hexagram 63 of the I Ching, After the Conclusion, indicates firstly a situation of equilibrium. It consists of two trigrams destined one to the other: Water, which tends downwards, and the Fire, which tends upwards. This trend is reinforced by the alternating sequence of lines which starts with a yang line at the first position, because such development is consistent with the proper positions of the yin and yang lines in the hexagram. After the Conclusion means a situation where everything has come to its own position. However, such equilibrium opens the way for a future decline. We must then manage the affairs in search of the hidden disorder inside order.

Quick guide for interpretation

The order is not a guarantee of protection but is rather something to be protect.
