Traditional Reading of I Ching Hexagram 64, Before the Conclusion |

I Ching Hexagram 64
Like the previous hexagram of the I Ching (After the Conclusion, 63), the sense of the current one (Before the Conclusion) comes from the organization of its trigrams and lines. The upward trend of Fire differs from that of the Water down below. Before the Conclusion indicates thus a strong state of disorder which is reinforced by the fact that each yang line is in a yin position, and vice versa. However, the situation is not just marked by disorder but also by a deeper hidden order which can be seen by the harmonious sequence of its lines. This hidden order shows that, in spite of appearances, the situation tends towards a smooth completion.
Quick guide for interpretation
We must follow cautiously the new order that arrives.
