The universe has brought us the message of XIAO GUO (Small Exceeding). This is the hexagram of small victories. We are advised to understand the progress we have made in humility not pride. We have achieved a small victory, now is not the time to shout it from the rooftops but to receive it in gratitude and silence. This hexagram brings to mind a bird in flight, the small motion of the birds wings propel it into the sky. We are reminded that our small actions and decisions have the potential to create change. This is the time for precision and mindfulness in our actions and to avoid bold sweeping moves.
XIAO GUO encourages us to appreciate our advantages without over playing them. We need to make our decisions thoughtfully considering their long term impacts. We must remain humble and resist the urge to act superior or brag about our advantage. It is time to focus on gradual steady progress rather than trying to make bold leaps ahead.
Finally XIAO GUO admonishes us to look for ways to help others by using our current advantage instead of only working to benefit ourselves.
