Yao Texts
The six Yaos of the Returning Hexagram describe the process of revival and the return to vitality after stillness or decline.
Returning - Yao 24.1
Fortune
Things have not strayed far from the correct path. Returning to the right way will bring great fortune.
This describes a situation where things have just begun to deviate but are still salvageable. Taking quick action can restore the situation. Officials may gain favor, businesses can recover losses, and exams may yield good results.
Returning - Yao 24.2
Fortune
Stop improper behavior and return to doing the right thing to gain good fortune.
This suggests that stabilizing oneself and resuming normalcy can bring peace and good outcomes.
Returning - Yao 24.3
Neutral
Repeated mistakes and corrections bring risks but ultimately no harm.
This describes a process of repeated setbacks and recovery. With persistent effort, major losses can be avoided.
Returning - Yao 24.4
Neutral
While others persist on the wrong path, only I return to the right way.
This suggests not following the crowd or envying short-term gains but adhering to what is believed to be right.
Returning - Yao 24.5
Fortune
Resolutely return to the right path without regrets.
This emphasizes staying firm on one's belief in doing what is right, despite others’ doubts, to avoid future regrets. Reflect and think independently.
Returning - Yao 24.6
Misfortune
Mistakes are made but not corrected, leading to danger and continuous misfortune. Waging war under such circumstances will result in the country’s defeat and the king’s peril. Such a state may persist for ten years, hindering national prosperity.
This warns against stubbornness and ignoring advice, highlighting the dangers of imprudent decisions. Officials may suffer losses due to greed, and businesses may struggle to recover profits.
When interpreting the hexagram, attention should be paid to the five-element attributes of each Yao. Interpret them based on the principles of mutual generation and restriction. When studying the hexagram alongside its changing state, observe which Yao is activated, whether it is beneficial or harmful, and the likelihood of activation. Further details can be found here:
