Hexagram 49, Gé (Revolution): Line 6 (top)
革卦上六 · 泽火革 · 中文版
上六:君子豹变,小人革面,征凶,居贞吉。
The line (Legge)
The sixth SIX, divided, shows the superior man producing his changes as the leopard (does when he) changes (his spots), while small men change their faces (and show their obedience). To go forward (now) would lead to evil, but there will be good fortune in abiding firm and correct.
Small Image commentary
'The superior man produces his changes as the leopard does when he changes his spots:' - their beauty becomes more elegant. 'Small men change their faces:' - they show themselves prepared to follow their ruler.
象曰:君子豹变,其文蔚也。小人革面,顺以从君也。
In plain words
The noble person changes like a leopard; the petty person changes their face; pushing ahead brings misfortune; staying put and steadfast brings good fortune. The leopard's change pictures the noble following the change with fine pattern; changing the face means outward compliance, the source of the idiom for turning over a new leaf. The top line is at the end of change: the change is done, and it is time to settle. The Small Image says the noble person's pattern is rich, and the petty person changes face to follow the ruler.
Applying it to your situation
If a change has been completed, this line suggests stopping to consolidate rather than stirring things up further. What most needs consolidating now?
Position
A broken (yin) line in the top place, which is a yin (even) place, so it is in its proper place. Its partner is line 3; one is yin and the other yang, so they respond to each other.
If this line moves
With this line moving alone, Gé changes into Hexagram 13 Tóng Rén (Fellowship). The Jiaoshi Yilin verse for this change (Chinese): 焦氏易林·革之同人.
The hexagram
Hexagram 49 Gé (Revolution). The Judgment: (What takes place as indicated by) Ge is believed in only after it has been accomplished. There will be great progress and success. Advantage will come from being firm and correct. (In that case) occasion for repentance will disappear.
