Coming Back
fù · Earth over ThunderTurn around early; small corrections are the easiest ones.
亨。出入无疾，朋來无咎。反復其道，七日來復，利有攸往。
The light is coming back and the way is open. You can come and go unharmed, and companions gather without fault. Things circle round, seven days to the turn, so setting out is favorable.
The six lines
初九：不遠復，无祗悔，元吉。
You have not gone far before turning back. There is no great regret in that, and it is the most favorable return.
六二：休復，吉。
You return gracefully, with a gentle pause, learning from good people nearby. This is favorable.
六三：頻復，厲无咎。
You stray and return, again and again, with a furrowed brow. It is risky, but each return keeps you free of fault.
六四：中行獨復。
Those around you press on. From among them, you alone turn back toward what is right.
六五：敦復，无悔。
You return with honest, deep sincerity. Nothing here to regret.
上六：迷復，凶，有災眚。用行師，終有大敗，以其國君，凶；至于十年，不克征。
Lost, you miss the way back, a dangerous place. A march now could end in heavy defeat, harming your leader, with ten years lost.
