The head gets wet. Danger.
濡其首，厲。
慎Proceed with care
Reading
Yes, but carefully.The thing is already accomplished. What you most need to guard against now is slackening.
Governing text · Jiji: Six at the top
In plain wordsThe fox crossing the river gets even its head soaked. Danger. After success you forgot to stay on guard and went in too deep.
- Now
- You have crossed the river and everything is in place. But this hexagram says: good fortune at the start, disorder at the end.
- The key
- Only one line is changing: Six at the top. The answer is in that line. There is some risk, or some regret left over, but nothing serious. Notice it early, correct it early, and things turn for the better.
- Where it is heading
- Things are moving toward Jiaren (The Family): First put the affairs of the household (your own inner circle) in order.
- What to do
- Hold on to what you have achieved. While nothing has gone wrong yet, think of the problems first and take precautions. Do not reach for anything bigger.

Nuclear hexagram · Weiji (Before Completion)
Not done yet. One last step remains, and this is the step where mistakes come most easily.
The nuclear hexagram is formed from the four inner lines. It shows what is going on inside the situation.
