既济：亨小，利贞。初吉，终乱。
Translation: 既济 / After Completion: 亨小，it is beneficial to remain upright。初auspicious，终乱。.
Reading note: This is the judgment of Ji Ji (After Completion), setting the overall situation and guiding principle for the whole hexagram. “constancy” means holding to what is correct over time; “auspicious” indicates a favorable direction.
初九：曳其轮，濡其尾，无咎。
Translation: First Nine: dragging back the wheel，its tail gets wet，no blame。.
Reading note: The first line is the lowest position, where a situation is just beginning and its strength is still forming. “no blame” means avoiding fault, not necessarily winning great success.
六二：妇丧其茀，勿逐，七日得。
Translation: Second Six: Draft rendering: 妇丧其茀，勿逐，七日得。.
Reading note: The second line often suggests a central and emerging position: no longer hidden, but not yet in command. The image should be read as a concrete way of describing the situation before choosing how to act.
九三：高宗伐鬼方，三年克之。小人勿用。
Translation: Third Nine: 高宗伐鬼方，三年克之。小人do not act yet。.
Reading note: The third line stands at the end of the lower trigram, where effort and pressure increase and caution becomes important. The image should be read as a concrete way of describing the situation before choosing how to act.
六四：𦈡有衣袽，终日戒。
Translation: Fourth Six: Draft rendering: 𦈡有衣袽，终日戒。.
Reading note: The fourth line enters the upper trigram and marks a threshold between holding back and advancing. The image should be read as a concrete way of describing the situation before choosing how to act.
九五：东邻杀牛，不如西邻之禴祭，实受其福。
Translation: Fifth Nine: Draft rendering: 东邻杀牛，不如西邻之禴祭，实受其福。.
Reading note: The fifth line is near the honored position, where influence can be exercised if power remains aligned with what is right. The image should be read as a concrete way of describing the situation before choosing how to act.
上六：濡其首，厉。
Translation: Top Six: 濡其首，danger; be vigilant。.
Reading note: The top line is the end of the hexagram's movement, often warning about excess, culmination, or the need to change course. “danger” calls for vigilance.
