Small excess; small matters go well, keep low and careful.
The image
Thunder over mountain: thunder over the mountain. Small excess.
Judgment
小過：亨，利貞，可小事，不可大事，飛鳥遺之音，不宜上，宜下，大吉。
Preponderance of the small: success. Perseverance furthers. Small things may be done; great things should not be done. The flying bird brings the message: it is not well to strive upward, it is well to remain below. Great good fortune.
