敦復，无悔。
A generous, grounded return. No regret.

Computed position
How this place works
- Trigram position
- outer · center
Line 5 is the center of the outer trigram.
- Polarity and place
- yin in an odd place: not aligned
Its yin polarity does not match the traditional odd-place convention.
- Correspondence
- Line 2: same polarity
Its counterpart is Line 2; the two share a polarity, so this structural correspondence is not responsive.
