Bird's- eye view
63 - Every cycle seeks perfection.
64 - Every cycle ends and begins in chaos.
'The lower trigram, LI, clarity, is entering the realm of K'AN, the profound. You may very clearly realise what is happening AFTER THE END, yet without changing lines it is difficult to affect the situation. You are in the immediate center of what is forming and moving. It is much like being in the eye of a hurricane. It seems so calm, it's influence and force are out of your reach. Perhaps there is solace in the thought that the less you can affect this particular situation the less it will affect you.
'Already Across: calm and settled.'
'Not Yet Across: exhaustion of the male.'
All is decided and in place; everything is working. Yet this already implies that there is more work to be done. Feminine energy can be at home in such an open-ended uncertain state; masculine strength, that acts to achieve and complete things, will exhausted by it.
I like the animal that is languishing in the water ... It sums up this hexagram perfectly (it is on Hilary's link to UC63.
4. I have seen it very simply as a 'yes' particularly re purchases/choices etc. I guess in 63uc everything is where it needs to be. It's correct and complete. Shall I buy this ? 63uc ...well really I already decided because it's right for me. Shall I continue with this medication ? 63uc Yes ! Looking back at my journal I can see 63uc was a kind of confirmation that things were in the right place.,
Looking back on my previous examples, listed above, I realise that the questions were fairly redundant because the situation was moving in a way that meant my questions would quickly become irrelevant. So 63uc seemed to be saying 'it doesn't matter, as shortly the situation will have moved on and this question will have no meaning'.
A few years ago I asked the I Ching about some pages of notes I'd written on the process of death and what appears to happen when one's consciousness departs. I wanted the Yi to comment on the accuracy of those notes and the answer was H.63. After completion. Perfect eh? From order to disorder or dissolution of the body; a completion; a transition from one state to another; crossing the Big river
