䷺
Huan · Dispersing · Dispersion
渙
Dispersion — energy spreads across many orbits. Hard to hold center without a deliberate anchor.
The Judgment
Rigidity and division dissolve. Reunite people around a shared purpose.
The Image
The wind drives over the water, so the ancient kings honored the divine and built temples to gather people.
How to use it
Dissolve what has hardened between people. Gather around a shared purpose.
Structure
Six lines: 巽 Wind (Xun) above and 坎 Water (Kan) below. Lines are read from the bottom up.
