Hexagram 62, Small Exceeding
Key Questions
Do you need to cross a line?
What small things can you do to meet the needs of the situation?
How can you take even more care?
Oracle
‘Small exceeding, creating success,
Constancy bears fruit.
Allows small works, does not allow great works.
A bird in flight leaves its call,
Going higher is not fitting, coming down is fitting.
Great good fortune.’
Exceeding, or ‘going past’, is a transition, the moment when you step over a line. And ‘Small Exceeding’ means making this crossing in small ways: going beyond boundaries and structures, but paying close attention to them, always responding and adjusting, like a humble traveller crossing over great mountains.
This is a creative way to engage with the world, no matter how small you feel. You’re in no position to realize great things all at once, but it is worthwhile to do the smaller things that are within your capacity, taking small steps with consistent purpose.
Small Exceeding is like a bird in flight: small, exposed and vulnerable as it crosses over a vast expanse of sky. It must come down and settle eventually, and even as it passes by and is gone, its call reminds you not to go against your nature and overreach yourself.
For your own unique call to be heard, you need to fly closer to the ground and pay attention to details, creating a more sensitive connection with your world. When you come down to earth in this way, scaling down your aspirations, crossing over in small ways and doing small works, then you enjoy great good fortune.

‘Above the mountain is thunder: Small Exceeding.
A noble one in actions exceeds in respect,
In loss exceeds in mourning,
In spending exceeds in economy.’
Sequence
Small Exceeding follows from Hexagram 61, Inner Truth:
‘To have trust naturally means acting on it, and so Small Exceeding follows.’

Line 3
‘Not going past, he defends himself.
Someone following may strike him down. Pitfall.’
Hexagram 16, Enthusiasm
Key Questions
What do you imagine?
What inspires you?
How can you use your enthusiasm constructively?
Oracle
‘Enthusiasm.
Fruitful to set up feudal lords and mobilize the armies.’
The Chinese word for ‘enthusiasm’ contains an elephant – a character that also means ‘image’. The elephant is magnificent, strong, a source of delight – and also unpredictable and potentially dangerous. Imagination and anticipation move us with ease; with them, we can be motivated and inspired – or we can be carried away by the power of our own story.
The energetic charge of enthusiasm can be used to set great things in motion. It is good to use it to expand and enrich your experience by extending your network of communication and support, marshalling your resources ready for future challenges. And it is also good to use such structures to channel the motive power of enthusiasm, and keep it from running amok. Then its brightly coloured images can be woven securely into the larger patterns and meanings of life.
Image
‘Thunder bursts forth from the earth: Enthusiasm.
The ancient kings composed music to honour virtue,
They celebrated and worshipped the supreme lord,
Joining with their ancestors.’
Sequence
Enthusiasm follows from Hexagram 15, Integrity:
‘One who possesses greatness and is also capable of Integrity is naturally Enthusiastic.’
