The line

The Image commentary on this line

渙其血，遠害也。

"Dispersing the blood": harm is kept far away.

The small Image commentary is the earliest explanation of the line texts. It usually explains a line from its position: where it stands, whether it holds the center, and which line answers it.

Verdict

平Neutral. Neither good nor bad. Do your part, correct mistakes, and nothing will go wrong.

• 无咎 no blame: no fault attaches, often because a mistake is corrected in time

Asking about work, love or money

Work

There is no need to get any more involved in that mess. Keep well away from the hurtful quarrels, set down your fear and worry too, and simply step out. There is nothing wrong in doing so.

Love

The fights that keep hurting you, the old entanglements that keep you on edge: there is no need to stay caught in them. Keep your distance from what harms you and set down your fear and worry. Stepping out is not wrong.

Money

Tangled old debts, partnerships and guarantees that could drag you down: pull out early and stay well clear. The fewer money ties you have, the less you have to fear, and you will not go wrong.

This is how to read it when this is the only changing line. With several changing lines, first see which text governs; for the hexagram as a whole, see Huan.

Line position

A yang line in a yin place: it is not in its proper place. Its partner is the third line, which is its opposite, so the two answer each other.

Top place: the end of the matter. What reaches its limit turns. Know when to stop.

When you get this line

If this is the only changing line in your cast (three backs, old yang), this line is your answer. The primary hexagram is Huan (Dispersion); when this line changes it becomes Kan (The Abyss): hexagram 59 changing to 29.
