Preponderance of the Small: success. Perseverance furthers. Small things may be done; great things should not be done. The flying bird brings the message: it is not well to strive upward; it is well to remain below. Great good fortune. The bird's song is sweetest near the nest — the time favours the small, the low, the meticulous: exceptional conscientiousness in minor matters, and no grand flights at all.
Thunder on the mountain: the superior person, in their conduct, gives preponderance to reverence; in bereavement, to grief; in expenditure, to thrift. In small-time, the wise err deliberately on the modest side of every virtue — a little more humble, a little more frugal, a little more careful than strictly required.
This is a season for smallness done superbly — details, duties, modest steps, the hundred humble tasks that great seasons are built from — and it is explicitly not a season for the grand gesture: launches, leaps and upward strivings meet headwinds now, like the bird that flies too high past its nest. Lean low in everything: extra courtesy, extra thrift, extra care, staying close to home base in decisions and risk. None of this is defeat — the judgment promises great good fortune to exactly this conduct. The great things are not cancelled; they are waiting for their own hexagram. Today, perfect the small.
