Hexagram 59 — 涣 (Huàn), Dispersion
Above: ☴ 巽 Wind Below: ☵ 坎 Water
The Judgment
亨。王假有庙,利涉大川,利贞。
Dispersion — dissolving rigidity and selfishness; gather people around a higher shared purpose.
The Image (Daxiang)
「风行水上,涣;先王以享于帝立庙。」Wind over the waters — the kings made offerings and founded temples.—— 《周易·大象传》(The Image Commentary)
The Tuan Commentary
彖曰:涣亨,刚来而不穷,柔得位乎外而上同。王假有庙,王乃在中也。利涉大川,乘木有功也。——《易传·彖传》

Melt the rigid — rally people to a higher purpose. When you receive this hexagram, hold the judgment beside your question: it describes a posture and a season, not a script.
