Hexagram 59: Dispersion

风水涣 · Huàn

Hexagram 59, Dispersion (Huàn, 涣), is formed of the upper trigram Wind (巽) over the lower trigram Water (坎). Below is the classical judgment, the six line texts, and how to read this hexagram in a reading.

The Judgment

Dispersion: success. The king approaches his temple. It furthers to cross the great water; perseverance furthers.
亨,王假有庙,利涉大川,利贞。

Trigrams

Upper · Wind 巽
gentle penetration
Lower · Water 坎
the abysmal, danger

The outer (upper) trigram Wind describes the situation as it meets the world; the inner (lower) trigram Water describes its inner disposition. Together they set the theme of Dispersion.

The Six Lines

Reading Hexagram 59 for Your Question

When Dispersion appears without changing lines, the judgment above stands as the whole answer. When you cast changing lines (a 6 or a 9), read those line texts first — they are the most specific guidance — then look to the relating hexagram they form for where the situation is heading. For love, career, or a decision, apply the theme of Dispersion to your own circumstances rather than reading it as a fixed prediction.

Ask the oracle your own question and see whether Dispersion answers.
