Interpretation.

The hexagram is linked with the time of the winter solstice, the turning point between a year gone and a year yet to come. Transformation of the old becomes easy. The old is discarded and the new introduced. Societies of people sharing the same views are formed, all selfish separatist tendencies are excluded. Movement is accomplished in six stages and the seventh brings Return. Underlying all natural change is a consistent rhythm, night into day and winter into spring. It is only necessary to tune into this natural rhythm as it manifests itself in our lives. The time of Return suggests relaxing and conserving energy. The return of health after illness and understanding after an estrangement must be treated tenderly and with care so that the return may lead to a flowering.
