Traditional Fortune Grade
Neutral平 · 传统吉凶分档
事未成而近岸易失，宜谨慎收尾，未济并非绝路。
Basis · 依据：卦辞「小狐汔济，濡其尾，无攸利」——未济为未成之象，吉凶相参，传统归为平。
The Judgment
Before Completion — success; the fox gets wet; nothing furthers at the end.
The Six Moving Lines
Six at the beginningHe gets his feet soaked; no blame; the perseverance of a young fox is not yet a model for going.初六：濡其尾，吝。
Nine in the second placeHe drags his wheels; perseverance brings good fortune.九二：曳其轮，贞吉。
Six in the third placeBefore completion, attack; danger; it furthers one to cross the great water.六三：未济，征凶，利涉大川。
Nine in the fourth placePerseverance brings good fortune; remorse disappears; shock, thus to discipline the devil's country; for three years, great realms are made subject.九四：贞吉，悔亡，震用伐鬼方，三年有赏于大国。
Six in the fifth placePerseverance brings good fortune; no remorse; the light of the superior man is sincere; good fortune.六五：贞吉，无悔，君子之光，有孚，吉。
Nine at the topDrinking wine brings no blame; but if one wets his head, he loses it, through lack of moderation.上九：有孚于饮酒，无咎。濡其首，有孚失是。
