Return
Hexagram 24 of the Yi Jing · 复 Fù
The figure
Thunder beneath the Earth: a single solid line returns, at the bottom, after five broken ones. The first ray after winter — movement beginning again, still fragile.
What this figure illuminates
Return lights up beginnings again: one cycle closes, another starts. The moment is not for grand action but for tending what is reborn, because what comes back never comes back exactly the same.
For a decision, the figure invites you to notice what is starting again in you — “what is beginning, and how do I protect it while it is still tender?” — rather than rushing a restart.
A question to keep
What is beginning again, and deserves protection while it is still fragile?
