Return, The Turning Point. Success.
Going out and coming in without error.
Friends come without blame.
To and fro goes the way.
On the seventh day comes return.
It furthers one to have somewhere to go.

Thunder within the earth:
The image of the Turning Point.
Thus the sovereigns 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.

Changing Lines

Line 1: Yang Opening

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

Line 2: Yin Firming

Quiet return. Good fortune.

Line 3: Yin Firming

Repeated return. Danger. No blame.

Line 4: Yin Firming

Walking in the midst of others,
One returns alone.

Line 5: Yin Firming

Noble-hearted return. No remorse.

Line 6: Yin Firming

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.
