Hexagram 24

Return

Also: The Turning Point, Returning

☷ Earth over ☳ Thunder

The Judgment

Return. Success. Going out and coming in without error. Friends come without blame. The way to and fro; on the seventh day comes return. It furthers one to have somewhere to go.

The Image

Thunder within the earth. Thus the kings of antiquity closed the passes at the time of solstice. Merchants and strangers did not go about, and the ruler did not travel through the provinces.

The Lines

Line 1

Return from a short distance. No need for remorse. Great good fortune.

Line 2

Quiet return. Good fortune.

Line 3

Repeated return. Danger. No blame.

Line 4

Walking in the midst of others, one returns alone.

Line 5

Noblehearted return. No remorse.

Line 6

Missing the return. Misfortune. Misfortune from within and without. If armies are set marching in this way, one will in the end suffer a great defeat, disastrous for the ruler of the country. For ten years it will not be possible to attack again.
