Return
Judgment
— I Ching · classical
亨。出入无疾，朋来无咎。反复其道，七日来复，利有攸往。
Return has 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.
Image
— Great Image
雷在地中，复，先王以至日闭关，商旅不行，后不省方。
Thunder within the earth: the image of the turning point. Thus the kings of antiquity closed the passes at the time of the solstice. Merchants and strangers did not go about, and the ruler did not travel through the provinces.

Modern Readings

Career & Management
Economic recovery from the trough, post-illness recovery, projects returning to track. Daylight is visible but yang is still small — protect the recovery, do not overload.
Psychology & Cognition
Build atomic habits; give a new plan time. After failure, recover the original purpose and rebuild psychological resilience.
Decision Guidance
Correct fast (line 1), don't miss the turn (line 6). The cycle is real: seven days and it returns.
Western Parallels

James Clear on rapid feedback and micro-correction; Nietzsche's 'eternal return'; Heraclitus on the unity of opposites in cyclical change; the AA principle 'progress, not perfection' for repeated returns at line 3.
