Gradual Progress · Feng Shan Jian
Gradual Progress — the wild goose crossing the water one step at a time.
The traditional reading
Hexagram 53 is the wild goose that crosses the great water by landing step by step. Nothing is achieved in a single bound here; each stage must be completed before the next is tried. Move forward slowly, dwell properly at each stopping place, and let relationships and projects mature in their own time.
