| The present is embodied in Hexagram 24 - Fu (Turning Point): There will be a free course and progress. He finds no one to distress him in his exits and entrances. Friends come to him, and no error is committed. He will return and repeat his proper course. In seven days comes his return. There will be advantage in whatever direction movement is made. |
| The third line, divided, shows one who has made repeated returns. The position is perilous, but there will be no error. |
| The situation is evolving slowly, and Yang (the active masculine force) is gaining ground. |

 | The things most apparent, those above and in front, are embodied by the upper trigram K'un (Earth), which represents docility and receptivity. |
 | The things least apparent, those below and behind, are embodied by the lower trigram Chen (Thunder), which is transforming into Li (Fire). As part of this process, movement, initiative, and action are giving way to brightness and warmth. |
