A level day. Things sit in balance, suiting anything that needs both sides to agree.

Hexagram After Completion (number 63), line 3 rules the day

An image of completion, where everything has settled into place. The classics warn that the moment of completion is when vigilance slips. Keeping a result is usually harder than producing it.
