Hexagram Meaning

䷺

The Oracle Speaks

Wind over water — it disperses everything. Success. The king approaches his temple. It furthers to cross the great water. Wind blows over frozen water, dissolving the ice. Rigid barriers between people (or systems) dissolve. The ceremony at the temple unites scattered hearts. Breaking down silos, dissolving the ice between teams, restoring flow across partitioned systems.

The Six Lines — Changing Line Oracles

When a line is “changing” (old yin or old yang), its oracle activates. These texts reveal the specific mutation occurring at that position in the hexagram.

Line 1 (Yin — broken) — Bottom

He brings help with the strength of a horse. Good fortune. Swift intervention before the dissolution becomes destructive.

Line 2 (Yang — solid)

At the dissolution, he hurries to that which supports him. Remorse disappears. Running toward the stable foundation when things are breaking apart.

Line 3 (Yin — broken)

He dissolves his self. No remorse. Ego dissolution — releasing personal attachment to unite with the larger purpose.

Line 4 (Yin — broken)

He dissolves his bond with his group. Supreme good fortune. Dissolution leads to accumulation. Breaking old alliances to form better ones — transcending tribal loyalty.

Line 5 (Yang — solid)

His loud cries are as dissolving as sweat. Dissolution! A king abides without blame. The leadership announcement that breaks the tension. Royal decree dissolves the deadlock.

Line 6 (Yang — solid) — Top

He dissolves his blood. Departing, keeping at a distance, going out. No blame. Clean separation from harmful connections — dissolving toxic ties.
