Small Exceeding · Lei Shan Xiao Guo
Small Exceeding — the season for the small, the careful, the second step.
The traditional reading
Hexagram 62 is the bird that succeeds by flying low — a time when big moves are wrong and small, precise ones are right. Do the little thing well: the small favor, the careful check, the modest request. It is not a season for ambition’s leaps; it is a season for being excellent in the margins.
