Judgment — our commentary
After completion, order exists—and so does the risk of complacency. Maintain the crossing you already made.
The six lines
Line 1
Just after crossing, brake the wheels. Early caution prevents a wet tail.
Reflection: Where should you slow down after a win?
Line 2
A lost veil need not become a crisis—wait seven days; do not chase frantically.
Reflection: What loss is temporary if you stay calm?
Line 3
High campaign energy can reclaim territory, yet overreaching exhausts the small.
Reflection: Is this campaign worth the cost to your base?
Line 4
Leaks appear in the boat. Stuff the cracks now; small leaks sink finished journeys.
Reflection: Which small leak needs attention today?
Line 5
The neighbor’s simpler offering can outshine lavish form. Substance over show.
Reflection: Where can simplicity beat spectacle?
Line 6
Head wet at the finish: do not get careless when almost home.
Reflection: How will you finish without getting soaked?
