Small Exceeding–Preponderance of Small–Thunder Over Mountain
Do not overlook the small issues. Outside forces are weakening stable yang lines with surrounding yin lines. Meticulous attention to fine details achieves unhurried success. The devil is always in the details in the fine print of a contract, exposing legal technicalities that outline the terms, conditions, and restrictions. Although in the scheme of the big picture the small details might seem unimportant, if ignored from the misleading big print, foolish oversight can lead you into peril. Dot your “i’s” and cross your “t’s.” Examine everything down to the last minute detail to make sure everything is in order before you proceed. Otherwise, problems may arise. Pay attention and do not rush the process. Tao Master Zhuangzi stated, “The wise man looks into space, and does not regard the small as too little, nor the great as too much; for he knows that there is no limit to dimension.”
