I Ching Hexagram 24 - Return

The hexagram represents the return to one's roots and finding stability in familiar surroundings. It consists of two trigrams signifying a journey's end and a return to the starting point.

The hexagram encourages a return to our true selves and path of acceptance, humility, and discipline. It prompts us to let go of old belief systems, defence mechanisms, and ego-centric expressions blocking growth. It's a time for rest, self-reflection, rediscovery, and reconnection with our roots. The emphasis is on cautious steps, change, and transformation.

Early recognition and correction of straying from the right path is essential. Confronting doubts early on can prevent further deviation.

Pride can lead to danger. Patience, tolerance, and humility bring good fortune.

Avoid immediate resolution demands and remain patient to reach your goals. Shed your resistant attitude for progress.

Stay true to your principles, even if you're alone in doing so. Inner peace and a strong sense of self are your rewards.

Take responsibility for actions, recognise mistakes, and correct them. This is the noble-hearted path of Return.

Missing the moment of Return can lead to misfortune. It's vital to self-examine, correct wrong attitudes, and seize opportunities when they arise.
