Treading · Tian Ze Lü
Treading — the tiger’s tail, walked with grace instead of fear.
The traditional reading
Hexagram 10 is the act of walking near danger with steady courtesy — treading on the tiger’s tail without being bitten. The path is narrow but passable if you move with humility and precise conduct. Mind your manners, stay alert, and the dangerous will not harm you.
