The Judgment (彖)
Dispersion. Success. The king approaches his temple. It furthers to cross the great water. Perseverance furthers.
The Image (象)
Wind drives over water. The ancient kings made offerings to God and built temples.
Meaning
Wind scattering water — dissolving rigidity, breaking up what has become frozen and hard. Ego barriers melt, divisions dissolve. Sacred devotion and generosity break through selfishness and separation.
Advice
Something rigid or frozen needs to dissolve — perhaps your own ego, or barriers between people. Use devotion, generosity, and shared sacred purpose to melt what has hardened. Let go of separateness.
