Judgment
Legge: Approach means successful progress through firm correctness. In the eighth month there will be evil.
Wilhelm/Baynes : Approach has supreme success. Perseverance furthers. When the eighth month comes, there will be misfortune.
Blofeld:Approach.Sublime success! Righteous persistence brings reward. However, when the eighth month is reached, misfortune will befall. [The eighth moon of the lunar calendar corresponds approximately to September.]
Liu: Approach. Great Success. It is of benefit to continue. When the eighth month arrives, then there will be misfortune.
Ritsema/Karcher: Nearing, Spring Growing Harvesting Trial. Culminating tending-towards the eighth moon: possessing a pitfall. [This hexagram describes your situation in terms of approaching and being approached. It emphasizes that acting without immediately expecting to attain what you desire is the adequate way to handle it...]
Shaughnessy: The Forest: Prime receipt; beneficial to determine; arriving at the eighth month there is inauspiciousness.
Cleary (1):Overseeing is creative and developmental, beneficial if correct. In the eighth month there is misfortune.
Cleary (2):Overseeing is very successful, beneficial if correct. If you go on until the eighth month, there will be misfortune. [If you ride on the momentum of the time and do not know to turn back, at a certain point deterioration will inevitably set in, after flourishing has reached its climax, and there will surely be misfortune.]
Wu:Condescension is great, pervasive, and persevering, etc. [Condescension as used in several judgments has two meanings: to condescend (or to look down from a higher position) and to press forward with authority.]
Hua-Ching Ni: Advance. It is beneficial to go forward with a positive attitude, but be mindful of the cyclical nature of things.
The Image
Legge: The earth over a marsh -- the image of Approach. The superior man is inexhaustible in his instruction and unflagging in his nourishing support of the people.
Wilhelm/Baynes: The earth above the lake: the image of Approach. Thus the superior man is inexhaustible in his will to teach, and without limits in his tolerance and protection of the people.
Blofeld: This hexagram symbolizes land rising above a marsh. The Superior Man's teaching and his affection for his juniors are inexhaustible. Nothing hinders him in his care for the people. [The lower component trigram suggests the nourishment which the Superior Man gives joyfully to others. The upper trigram symbolizes the great bulk of those who benefit.]
Liu: The earth above the lake symbolizes Approach. The superior man's will for instruction has no limit. He is boundless in his support and protection of the people.
Ritsema/Karcher: Above marsh possessing earth. Nearing. A chun tzu uses teaching to ponder without exhausting. [A chun tzu uses] tolerating to protect the commoners without delimiting.
Cleary (1): Above the lake there is earth, overseeing. Superior people use
inexhaustibility of education and thought to embrace and protect the people without bound.
Wu: There is ground above the marsh; this is Condescension. Thus the jun zi realizes that there is no limit to the ideas of education and there is no boundary in the protection of people.
COMMENTARY
Confucius/Legge: In Approach we see the dynamic lines gradually increasing and advancing. The lower trigram is the symbol of Being Pleased, and the upper of Being Compliant. The strong line is in the central position, and is properly responded to. It is the way of heaven to bring progress and success through firm correctness, however the advancing power will decay after no long time.
Legge: Approach suggests the approach of authority -- to inspect, to comfort or to rule. The figure shows two dynamic lines advancing on the four magnetic lines above them. Their action will be powerful and successful, but it must be governed by rectitude and a caution that understands the nature of continuous change.
NOTES AND PARAPHRASES
Judgment: Two steps forward are followed by one step backward.
The Superior Man remains true to the Work regardless of fluctuations within the psyche.
The meaning of Approach is derived from the two dynamic lines advancing from below to encounter the magnetic lines above. These two are firm allies, and the action of the superior man in the Image suggests that their ascent is one of benevolent regard for the welfare of their subordinates -- only the third line need change for the hexagram to become number eleven, Harmony. We are reminded of the proper relationship between the ego and the Self -- when they advance together, the magnetic forces in the rest of the psyche are eventually transformed.
This hexagram recognizes the inevitably slow progress of the Work (" Rome wasn't built in a day"), and that advances are always followed by retreats. The point is that if one maintains the will to advance, one can be confident that the Work is advancing, regardless of appearances.
(Confucius) tried his best, but the issue he left to Ming. Ming is often translated as Fate, Destiny or Decree. To Confucius, it meant the Decree of Heaven or Will of Heaven ... Thus to know Ming means to acknowledge the inevitability of the world as it exists, and so to disregard one's external success or failure. If we can act in this way, we can, in a sense, never fail. For if we do our duty that duty through our very act is morally done, regardless of the external success or failure of our action. Fung Yu-Lan -- A Short History of Chinese Philosophy
Without changing lines, the hexagram suggests a progressive advance in the matter at hand. Nature being what it is however, no advance can be sustained indefinitely and an eventual regression can be expected. (This observation is such a truism that we must assume it is more than usually applicable to the current situation.)
Line 2
Legge: The second line, dynamic, shows its subject advancing in company with the subject of the first line. There will be good fortune; advancing will be in every way advantageous.
Wilhelm/Baynes: Joint approach. Good fortune. Everything furthers.
Blofeld: All approach -- good fortune! Nothing is unfavorable. [All approach can be taken to mean that all things desirable are converging upon us.]
Liu: To approach with sincerity brings good fortune. It is beneficial for everything.
Ritsema/Karcher: Conjunction Nearing: significant. Without not Harvesting.
Shaughnessy: Prohibited forest; auspicious; there is nothing not beneficial.
Cleary (2): Sensitive overseeing is good, beneficial all around. [The second yang is also in the momentum of gradually increasing strength, but at this point it is best to keep still and not ride on the momentum to try to advance; then it will be good and beneficial all around.]
Wu: Pressing forward with a companion will be auspicious. Everything will be advantageous.
Hua-Ching Ni: Impartial advance without prejudice continues…
COMMENTARY
Confucius/Legge: This is because those to whom the advance is made are not yet obedient to the ordinances of heaven. Wilhelm/Baynes: One need not yield to fate. Blofeld: This indicates that there is nevertheless some disobedience. Ritsema/Karcher: Not-yet yielding-to fate indeed. Cleary (2): This is addressed to those who are not yet in harmony with the universal order. Wu: There are still those who do not obey the ordinances of heaven. [Since prosperity of the yang is considered a good omen and meets the approval of heaven, presence of the four yin in the yang’s path of advance is indicative of disobeying the ordinances of heaven.]
Legge: Line two is dynamic, but in a magnetic place. This is counterbalanced by the central position and the proper correlate in line five.
NOTES AND PARAPHRASES
Siu: People who are not obedient to the ways of heaven are induced to follow the steadfast man in a high position. The future will be advantageous in every way.
Wing: What you propose to do wins sympathy and support from higher forces. So correct are your ideals that you can overcome even inherent difficulties. The future is bright indeed.
Editor: The differences in meaning between lines one and two are extremely slight in English translation. Cleary’s Buddhist commentary on the line suggests the idea of controlling the momentum of an otherwise favorable action. (See also his commentary on the Judgment.) Wu’s note on the Confucian commentary shows line two in immediate contact with four yin lines, interpreted here as recalcitrant forces. On another tack, if we take Ritsema/Karcher's version of "Conjunction Nearing: significant...” literally, we can imagine two possible approaching syntheses (line 1 and line 2), one of which may be more auspicious than the other. Only the context of your query can provide a plausible interpretation of these very different readings.
If Jung's method is used in the analysis, the change initiated by the conflict proceeds under the guidance of the individual's own unconscious. The analyst does not assume that he knows the answer to the problem but sets out with his patient to explore the unconscious and seek the solution. He is necessary to the proceeding because he has a technique for interpreting the obscure unconscious material thrown up in the dreams and fantasies; also, he is needed as a fixed point to which the patient can cling during the transition, when all values are under question and all landmarks may disappear. M. E. Harding -- Psychic Energy
A. An approaching conjunction of forces (or obvious choices) will nullify an adverse bias in the situation.
B. An alliance for progress furthers the Work.
C. Ego and Self administer the psyche.
Line 3
Legge: The third line, magnetic, shows one well pleased indeed to advance, but whose action will be in no way advantageous. If she becomes anxious about it however, there will be no error.
Wilhelm/Baynes: Comfortable approach. Nothing that would further. If one is induced to grieve over it, one becomes free of blame.
Blofeld: A willing approach, but there is nowhere towards which it would be advantageous to set out. Feeling regret on that account involves no error.
Liu: Cheerful approach does not benefit further. If one fears regret, no blame.
Ritsema/Karcher: Sweetness Nearing. Without direction: Harvesting. Already grieving-over it: Without fault.
Shaughnessy: Sweet forest; there is no place beneficial; having been saddened by it, there is no trouble.
Cleary (1): Presumptuous overseeing is of no benefit. If one is troubled over this, there is no blame.
Cleary (2): … but if you trouble over it, there will be no blame.
Wu: Condescending for flaunting purposes has nothing to gain. If he is concerned of his behavior, he will make no error.
Hua-Ching Ni: Easy advancement. If one abuses one’s position, there will be trouble in the long run. If this tendency is corrected immediately, there will be no blame.
COMMENTARY
Confucius/Legge: She shows herself well pleased to advance, but her position is not that appropriate to her. If she become anxious about it her error will not be continued. Wilhelm/Baynes: The place is not the appropriate one. A fault that induces grief no longer exists. Blofeld: The foregoing is indicated by the unsuitable position of this line. However, if we grieve for it, we shall not be involved in error for long. [At present, there is no goal or destination towards which it would be profitable to move; however, if we sincerely regret this, it will not be long before we emerge from the rut.] Ritsema/Karcher: Situation not appropriate indeed. Fault not long-living indeed. Cleary (2): Once you trouble over it, blame will not last long. Wu: He is out of place. His error will be temporary.
Legge: Line three is magnetic, neither central nor in her correct position, and therefore her action will not be advantageous. Being at the top of the lower trigram of Pleased Satisfaction, she is well pleased to advance. Anxious reflection will save her from error.
NOTES AND PARAPHRASES
Siu: The man gains power, influence, and comfort. There is danger of relation and carelessness in dealing with others. But if he becomes apprehensive about his actions, he will not continue in his error and will avoid troubles.
Wing: An easy Promotion is possible now. This might lead to a careless attitude on your part. There is danger in such overconfidence. If you are quick to recognize the need for continuous caution, however, you can avoid mistakes that would otherwise harm you.
Editor: The image depicts a case in which one’s powers are not equal to the challenge. Ritsema/Karcher translate Without direction: Harvesting as: “No plan or direction is advantageous; in order to take advantage of the situation, do not impose a direction on events.” That is, success demands that you refrain from action or drop the subject of inquiry. Their rendition of: Grieving-over it means: “Sorrow, melancholy; mourn; anxious, careworn; hidden sorrow…heart-sick and anxious.” One can receive this line under conditions of deep grief, wherein (as in any line of the I Ching), extremely subtle insights often transcend an exact paraphrase.
Except the Lord build the house, they labor in vain that build it: except the Lord keep the city, the watchman waketh but in vain. Psalms 127: 1
A. Whether simplistic, overconfident, or just naive, your assumptions in the matter at hand are incorrect. Do not act on them.
B. Desire for something to be true doesn't make it true. Correct your viewpoint. If sorrow is involved, accept it as your teacher.
C. Unwarranted overconfidence. Nothing can be done now.
D. There are no free rides -- wake up and serve the Work.
Line 5
Legge: The fifth line, magnetic, shows the advance of wisdom, such as
befits the great ruler. There will be good fortune.
Wilhelm/Baynes: Wise approach. This is right for a great prince. Good fortune.
Blofeld: A wise approach suited to a great prince -- good fortune.
Liu: To approach with wisdom is appropriate for a great duke. Good fortune.
Ritsema/Karcher: Knowledge Nearing. A Great Chief's propriety. Significant.
Shaughnessy: Knowing the forest; the great lord's propriety is auspicious.
Cleary (2): Knowing overseeing, appropriate for a great leader, bodes well.
Wu: Condescending with wisdom befits a great king. There will be good fortune.
Hua-Ching Ni: Wise advancement. This is how the great should proceed. G.F.
COMMENTARY
Confucius/Legge: What befits the great ruler means pursuing the course of the due mean. Wilhelm/Baynes: This means that he should walk in the middle. Blofeld: This is a way of saying that we must keep to the middle path. Ritsema/Karcher: Moving the center's designating indeed. Cleary (2): What is appropriate for a great leader is balance in action. Wu: He rules from the center.
Legge: Line five is the seat of the ruler. She is magnetic, but because she is central and has the dynamic second line as her proper correlate, she is the symbol of a wise sovereign who employs able counsel to advise her.
NOTES AND PARAPHRASES
Siu: The great ruler displays his wisdom in attracting men of ability to direct his affairs and in providing them freedom of action.
Wing: Your position is one of sovereignty. Here you would be wise to allow others to execute you plan for you. If you can choose competent helpers and restrain yourself from interfering in their work, you will achieve the ideal of true authority.
Editor: There is an intimation here of the Self allowing the ego to look after its own welfare, as long as action is in accordance with moderation and restraint. A test situation may be in progress.
From my brother Severus (I learned) to love my kin, and to love truth, and to love justice... And from him I received the idea of a polity in which there is the same law for all, a polity administered with regard to equal rights and equal freedom of speech, and the idea of a kingly government which respects most of all the freedom of the governed. Marcus Aurelius

Jugement
Legge :Achèvement indique progrès et succès dans les petites affaires. Il y a un avantage à être fermement correct. Il y avait de la bonne fortune au début ; il peut y avoir du désordre à la fin.
Wilhelm/Baynes : Après l'achèvement. Succès dans les petites affaires. La persévérance est bénéfique. Au début, bonne fortune, à la fin, désordre.
Blofeld :Après l'achèvement -- succès dans les petites affaires ! La persistance dans une voie juste apporte une récompense. Bonne fortune au début ; désordre à la fin. [Peut-être que la persistance peut aider à réduire le désordre qui menace de nous atteindre après un certain succès initial.]
Liu : Achèvement. Succès dans le petit. Il est bénéfique de continuer. Bonne fortune au début ; désordre à la fin.
Ritsema/Karcher :Déjà en train de traverser. Croissance : le petit. Récolte de l'épreuve. Initialement significatif. Achèvement : désordre. [Cet hexagramme décrit votre situation en termes d'un mouvement important d'une position à une autre. Il souligne que procéder activement à la traversée est la manière adéquate de la gérer...]
Shaughnessy :Déjà complété : Réception ; légèrement bénéfique de déterminer ; initialement de bon augure, à la fin désordonné.
Cleary (1) :Règlement est développemental, mais il est minimisé. Il est bénéfique d'être correct. Le début est de bon augure, la fin confuse.
Cleary (2) : Règlement est réussi, même dans les petites affaires … etc.
Wu : Mission accomplie indique un petit degré de pénétration et l'avantage d'être persévérant. Il est caractérisé par la bonté au début, mais le tumulte à la fin.
L'Image
Legge : L'image de l'eau au-dessus du feu formeAchèvement. L'homme supérieur, en accord avec cela, pense au mal qui peut venir, et s'en prémunit à l'avance.
Wilhelm/Baynes : L'eau sur le feu : l'image de la condition dans Après l'achèvement. Ainsi l'homme supérieur pense à la malchance et s'arme contre elle à l'avance.
Blofeld : Cet hexagramme symbolise l'eau au-dessus du feu. L'Homme Supérieur traite les problèmes par une réflexion attentive et en prenant des précautions à l'avance.
Liu : L'eau au-dessus du feu symbolise Achèvement. L'homme supérieur réfléchit au danger et prend des précautions contre lui.
Ritsema/Karcher : Ruisseau situé au-dessus du feu. Déjà en train de traverser. Un chun tzu utilise la réflexion sur la détresse et aussi la prévoyance pour se défendre contre elle.
Cleary (1) : L'eau est au-dessus du feu,Réglé.Ainsi les personnes supérieuresconsidèrent les problèmes et les préviennent.
Wu : Il y a de l'eau au-dessus du feu ; c'est Mission accomplie. Ainsi le jun zi conçoit des moyens de prévenir le désastre.
COMMENTAIRE
Confucius/Legge : Progrès et succès dans les petites affaires, avec avantage dans la fermeté correcte. Les lignes dynamiques et magnétiques sont correctement disposées, chacune à sa place. Il y a eu de la bonne fortune au début parce que la deuxième ligne magnétique est au centre. À la fin, il y a une cessation d'effort, et le désordre surgit. Le cours qui a conduit à la règle et à l'ordre est maintenant épuisé.
Legge : Les deux caractères chinois écrits traduits ici par Achèvement représentent deux idées -- le symbole d'être passé ou complété, et le symbole de traverser un ruisseau -- avec une signification secondaire d'aider et de compléter. Lorsqu'ils sont combinés, les deux caractères expriment l'idée d'accomplissement réussi. L'hexagramme dénote le royaume enfin au repos -- le vaisseau de l'État a été amené en toute sécurité à travers le grand et dangereux ruisseau, les détresses du royaume ont été soulagées et ses désordres rectifiés. De petites choses doivent être complétées : le nouveau gouvernement doit être consolidé et son dirigeant doit, sans bruit ni clameur, continuer à parfaire ce qui a été réalisé avec une fermeté correcte et sans oublier l'instabilité inhérente à toutes les affaires humaines. Que chaque ligne de l'hexagramme soit à sa place correcte, et ait son corrélat approprié souligne l'intimation de progrès et de succès.
Les éditeurs de K'ang-hsi comparent cet hexagramme et le suivant avec le numéro onze, Harmonie, et le numéro douze, Divorce, observant que la bonté de Harmonie est concentrée, comme ici, dans la deuxième ligne. Le désordre après l'achèvement est inévitable. Toutes les choses avancent avec un processus constant de changement. Le désordre succède à l'ordre, et à nouveau l'ordre au désordre.
NOTES ET PARAPHRASES
Jugement : Tout est bien qui finit bien, mais le nouveau cycle exige autant de volonté que le précédent. Ne faites pas de choix drastiques pendant une transition.
L'Homme Supérieur anticipe le conflit et s'y prépare à l'avance.
Le soixante-troisième hexagramme est l'hexagramme de référence qui dépeint la corrélation des lignes dynamiques et magnétiques correctement appariées. Sur la base de cette figure, tous les autres hexagrammes (sauf le premier et le deuxième, qui sont leurs "parents"), sont comparés. Pourtant, malgré le fait que chaque ligne soit à sa place correcte, aucune d'entre elles n'a un augure facile, et à la fois le Jugement et l'Image sont modérés et prudents. L'idée générale est que tant que nous respirons dans cette dimension spatio-temporelle, nos vies et notre Travail sont incomplets. Les cycles se complètent, certes, mais Achèvement dans ce sens est l'"achèvement" de la pleine lune, qui dès qu'elle atteint sa brillance maximale commence immédiatement à décroître.
Parmi ceux engagés dans le travail psycho-spirituel, il y a beaucoup d'énergie concentrée sur "l'illumination", et le désir naturel de chaque aspirant d'atteindre cet état de conscience dès que possible. Beaucoup errent d'une conception du Travail à une autre dans l'espoir que cette discipline particulière, ou ce Guru particulier fournira la réponse transcendante que le dernier n'a pas donnée.
C'est une illusion très trompeuse, car les chances qu'un individu donné atteigne l'illumination parfaite dans une vie donnée sont probablement minimes au point d'être insignifiantes. (Combien de véritables êtres éclairés avez-vous jamais rencontrés dans votre vie ?)
Mais les premiers signes de ce symbolisme sont loin d'indiquer que l'unité a été atteinte. Tout comme l'alchimie a de nombreuses procédures, allant du "travail d'un jour" à la "quête errante" durant des décennies, les tensions entre la paire d'opposés psychiques s'atténuent seulement progressivement ; et, comme le produit final alchimique, qui trahit toujours sa dualité essentielle, la personnalité unie ne perdra jamais tout à fait le douloureux sentiment de discorde innée. La rédemption complète des souffrances de ce monde est et doit rester une illusion ... Le but est important seulement en tant qu'idée ; l'essentiel est l'opus qui mène au but : c'est le but d'une vie. Dans son atteinte, "gauche et droite" sont unies, et conscient et inconscient travaillent en harmonie. Jung-- Psychologie du Transfert
Le Travail est un processus lent et organique de transformation des forces inconscientes, qui exige des niveaux de discipline presque surhumains pour être accompli. On peut faire beaucoup de progrès en une vie, mais le Travail ne peut être dit complet que lorsque la mort physique le "complète" -- à ce moment-là, en supposant que l'ego ait acquis suffisamment de force de volonté, peut-être peut-on faciliter une synthèse "permanente" des forces que l'on a passé une vie à entraîner. La mort est la porte de retour à notre Source, et si nous entrons dans cette porte consciemment et correctement, nous pouvons consolider une grande quantité de pouvoir qui nous servira bien dans le prochain cycle, quelle que soit la dimension que ce cycle peut prendre.
Il est même douteux qu'un homme puisse arriver au sommet de toute perfection tant qu'il vit dans une forme physique imparfaite, car les imperfections de la forme entravent l'esprit, et seul un esprit qui a dépassé la nécessité de vivre dans une forme physique peut être dit avoir atteint ce haut degré de perfection où une connaissance parfaite de soi, et par conséquent une connaissance parfaite de l'univers est obtenue. F. Hartmann --Paracelse : Vie et Prophéties
