I Ching reading: Huan (Dispersion) changing to Guan (Contemplation)
Huan: Nine in the second place
Amid dispersion, one runs to one's support. Regret vanishes.
渙奔其机，悔亡。
平Neutral
Reading
Neither good nor bad. It depends on how you act.People's hearts, or the situation, have scattered and need to be drawn together again.
Governing text · Huan: Nine in the second place
In plain wordsWhen everything is scattering, run to a low table you can lean on: find a stable support, and regret vanishes.
- Now
- Wind blows across the water and it disperses. What is scattering may be people's hearts, or it may be a knot inside your own.
- The key
- Only one line is changing: Nine in the second place. The answer is in that line. Neither good nor bad. Do your part, correct mistakes, and nothing will go wrong.
- Where it is heading
- Things are moving toward Guan (Contemplation): Don't move yet. Take a good look.
- What to do
- Find what can bring everyone back together: a shared belief or goal. Let go of self-interest and small cliques. Dissolving the knot inside you is itself a good thing. The big hurdle can be crossed.
