Dispersion (Huan) for Career & Work: How to Ask, How to Read

Hexagram 59 · 风水涣

Structure and Judgment

Hexagram 59 has Wind (Xun) above and Water (Kan) below; the lower trigram's Water feeds the upper trigram's Wood — the inner side is expending itself outward.

Original Judgment

亨。王假有庙,利涉大川,利贞。

How to ask

Ground career questions in one concrete matter with a time window — not "my whole career":

  • 「Will I get this promotion?」
  • 「Is now a good time to change jobs?」
  • 「Can this project land within three months?」

How to read

With Liu Yao, the Official/Ghost line is the useful god for position and career, the Parent line stands for contracts, documents and the organization, and the world line is you: an Official/Ghost supported by month, day or moving lines favors the matter; one that is controlled or void signals obstacles and change. Two Official/Ghost lines in a job-switch question often mirror a choice between two positions.

With Mei Hua Yi Shu, ti is your side and yong the undertaking; their five-element relation sets with-or-against, the mutual hexagram shows hidden factors in the process, and the changed hexagram where the matter lands.

If your cast produces moving lines, set the priority by the classical rules — see the moving-lines guide on the main hexagram page.
