Hexagram 62 · 小過 xiǎo guò
Slight Overreach · line 5
六五:密雲不雨,自我西郊,公弋取彼在穴。
The fifth line, divided, (suggests the idea) of dense clouds, but no rain, coming from our borders in the west. It also (shows) the prince shooting his arrow, and taking the bird in a cave.
James Legge, 1882
Hexagram 62 Slight Overreach · Judgement
小過:亨,利貞,可小事,不可大事,飛鳥遺之音,不宜上,宜下,大吉。
Hsiâo Kwo indicates that (in the circumstances which it implies) there will be progress and attainment. But it will be advantageous to be firm and correct. (What the name denotes) may be done in small affairs, but not in great affairs. (It is like) the notes that come down from a bird on the wing;—to descend is better than to ascend. There will (in this way) be great good fortune.
James Legge, 1882
