Yao Statements

The six Yao of the Retreat Hexagram describe the process of avoiding cliques and not associating with villains.

Retreat Hexagram - Yao 33.1

Misfortune

Delayed retreat results in missing the best timing and being caught in disputes. The situation is very bad; avoid actions and observe first, or the situation may worsen.

Describes missing the opportunity to retreat and getting caught in trouble. One should hide their talents and avoid taking sides. Acting rashly may lead to disaster. Officials should resign at the right time, and merchants should sell their goods quickly to clear inventory.

Retreat Hexagram - Yao 33.2

Neutral

I feel bound like being tied with cowhide, unable to break free.

Describes being entangled by a group of troublemakers. One should stay firm in their beliefs and not associate with villains.

Retreat Hexagram - Yao 33.3

Neutral

Retreating sluggishly causes both internal and external troubles, like being plagued by illness. Employ servants or helpers to take care of yourself.

Describes the need to remove obstacles and manage relationships during retreat. It suggests pretending to be unwell to avoid troublesome invitations and letting others handle matters. Officials should retreat promptly, and merchants should sell their goods to avoid issues from holding inventory too long.

Retreat Hexagram - Yao 33.4

Neutral

Refusing to associate with villains and sacrificing wealth for retreat is something only great people can do. Villains, blinded by greed, cannot achieve this.

Describes wise people knowing how to retreat in unfavorable times, while greedy or stubborn individuals often refuse to let go and end up in trouble. Officials should at least take leave to avoid danger, and merchants may gain some rewards.

Retreat Hexagram - Yao 33.5

Fortune

Successfully retreating with a noble reason leads to excellent results.

Describes a retreat that is justified and appropriate, representing a wise choice that leads to a favorable outcome.

Retreat Hexagram - Yao 33.6

Fortune

A successful retreat ensures that any actions taken will proceed smoothly.

When interpreting the hexagram, pay attention to the five-element attributes of each yao, interpreting them according to the cycle of creation and destruction.
