Reflection meaning

A goal has been reached, which shifts the challenge from achievement to maintenance.

Secure the result, watch small points of failure, and do not let completion turn into carelessness.

If this hexagram appears in a changing reading

Changing lines mark the parts of the six-line figure that move from yin to yang or yang to yin. Those changes generate a second hexagram. Oracle Mirror presents the first hexagram as the current symbolic pattern and the transformed hexagram as a second lens on the direction of change; it does not treat the second figure as a guaranteed future event.
