Hexagram 24: 復 Fu
The inner trigram is Thunder, while the outer is Earth. The light is now beginning to come back into the physical world. This is the time of the Winter solstice, when we can see that the Sun is returning to us.
Just like the open lines of the Hexagram that goes with the Sanjiao, the top hexagram here represents devotion and receptivity. Because of this, Hexagram 24 illustrates a good time for transformation.
This is the young light that comes up as the Sun returns to the world. Just as a young sprouting plant shoots up, so here we can think of the light shooting up, in a wood like quality, growing into existence again.
This is the Hexagram of resurrection, going with the idea that all of the sins have been cleansed through the Wintertime and all is born anew, in purity. Everything is returning from it’s rest at this time, and as such, tenderness and the utmost care must be used in every decision, so as not to harm the newly budding energy.
