Zhen and Yuan (Zhen Yuan)

The book ends where it began

The last chapter closes the circle: creation begins at yuan and also stops at zhen, and then a new cycle is founded, carrying the seed of what comes next. Read as a final instruction to the practitioner, it says that a chart is not a verdict but a phase — after the current completes, another begins from the same source. It is the fitting last line of a book whose first line told the reader to observe what heaven carries before judging anything.
