Hexagram 64 — 未济 (Wèi Jì), Before Completion
Above: ☲ 离 Fire Below: ☵ 坎 Water
The Judgment
亨。小狐汔济，濡其尾，无攸利。
Before completion — the little fox nearly crosses but wets its tail; careless final steps undo the whole crossing.
The Image (Daxiang)
「火在水上，未济；君子以慎辨物居方。」Fire above the water — the noble person carefully sorts things into their proper places.—— 《周易·大象传》（The Image Commentary）
The Tuan Commentary
彖曰：未济亨，柔得中也。小狐汔济，未出中也。濡其尾，无攸利，不续终也。虽不当位，刚柔应也。——《易传·彖传》

In Plain Terms
Almost there — careful final steps, don't wet your tail. When you receive this hexagram, hold the judgment beside your question: it describes a posture and a season, not a script.
