Read the structure
The lower trigram is Kan · Water; the upper is Xun · Wind. The six lines describe positions and stages within one situation, rather than six independent answers. Release rigid attachments that divide people. Reconnect through a shared purpose.
Tuan commentary · reading the judgment
渙亨，剛來而不窮，柔得位乎外而上同。王假有廟，王乃在中也。利涉大川，乘木有功也。
The Tuan discusses the judgment through polarity, position and timing. Its conditions belong with the judgment; an isolated favorable or unfavorable word does not settle a whole situation.
Great Image · from pattern to conduct
風行水上，渙，先王以享于帝，立廟。
The Great Image turns Dispersion into a model for conduct. Alongside divinatory language, this layer asks how to act. Consider whether your approach to dispersion fits the actual conditions.
