风水涣 & decision

Read 风水涣 (Dispersion) as a mirror, not an answer key. It does not foretell how a decision turns out; it offers a set of angles for looking at where you actually stand right now.

The judgment reads "亨。王假有庙，利涉大川". 风水涣 is built from wind above (巽) over water below (坎) — 风行水上，涣；先王以享于帝立庙. In everyday terms it sketches a kind of situational "weather" rather than a verdict. The questions below are drawn straight from that imagery — they are for you to answer, about a decision.

Turn the imagery of 风水涣 into questions you ask yourself

1. 1The upper trigram of 风水涣 is wind, the lower is water. In your decision right now, which part is like the "wind" above — outward-facing, responding to the world? And which is like the "water" below — your quieter, underlying ground?
2. 2If the judgment "亨。王假有庙，利涉大川" were describing the thing you are weighing, which word would you reach for first, and why that one?
3. 3风水涣 describes the "timing" of a situation. Is the choice in front of you one to move with — or one to pause on until you can see it clearly?
4. 4Read 风水涣's line 3 as the "stepping-over" line. Looking back from three months out, would you want this decision to have rested on ground as steady as the water below — or to have been a rush to resolve it?
5. 5Is there one small thing in this choice you keep avoiding — like the wind standing above and outside in 风水涣, the part you will have to answer to sooner or later?

风水涣 gives you an angle on a decision, not a should-or-shouldn't. The real work is to carry these questions back into your own situation — the answer is in you, not in the hexagram. The classical line text above is quoted in Chinese; the real work sits in the everyday choices only you can see.

Yarrow Yi casts hexagrams deterministically (by time, by hand, or by coin) and treats the I Ching as a tool for self-awareness — not for predicting fortune.
