Xiǎo Guò (小過) — Preponderance of the Small

Thunder above Mountain — the small bird that flies to the nearby branch, not the summit. "The flying bird brings the message: it is not well to strive upward; it is well to remain below." The larger ambition has its proper moment; this isn't it. Small moves, accurate adjustment to the actual situation, staying within the range of what's actually possible right now.
