Fù —
Return.
Earth above, Thunder below.
CHANGES INTO 23-bo →
JUDGMENT
Return. Success. Going out and coming in without error. Friends come without blame. The way returns; in seven days comes the return.
THE IMAGE
Thunder within the earth: the image of the Turning Point. Thus the kings of antiquity closed the passes at the time of solstice.
INTERPRETATION
A single yang line returns at the bottom — the first spark of light after darkness. This is the winter solstice of the soul: the turning point has arrived.
Do not rush the return. It is tender and new, like the first day of spring. Rest, recover, let the energy build naturally. The cycle is turning in your favor. In seven days — soon — things will move again.
