Above is the trigram Xun (Wind), below is the trigram Kan (Water). The metaphorical image of this hexagram is the wind stirring the surface of the water or a river overflowing its banks – a picture of flooding. These two forces are not united, suggesting an element of disunity, but although the wind cannot penetrate the water, its influence on it can be seen in the form of ripples and waves on the water’s surface. Thus, it helps remove or wash away blockages caused by fallen branches or leaves. Similarly, a strong breeze can give water more mobility, carrying it in the form of spray or mist.
Communities and people also have stagnation and dead-end situations. Huan signifies the need to disperse such obstacles, acknowledging that they entail a period of chaos. To break through serious barriers, the wind often has to create powerful waves. Huan warns us not to get lost in this chaos.
Your current situation is like a spill. Like water filling all the unevenness of the ground, dissolving everything that can be dissolved, cleaning the accumulated dirt, you are ready to overcome obstacles on the way to success, dispel illusions, misunderstanding, alienation. Your impact can literally wash away the toughest problem.
Wind and the element of Wood in the I Ching are linked to each other. Under the image of Wood on Water, Huan also implies boats that allow separated people to reunite. In divination, this may mean a new enterprise, travel, or changes in home or career.
