Lines, Trigrams, and Beginner Reading
Water over Wind suggests a deep source reached through structure, so the reading points to systems that sustain many people. Build the hexagram from the bottom line upward, then ask how the lower and upper trigrams describe pressure, support, movement, restraint, or timing.

Reflection Question
A grounded question for Hexagram 48 is: What common source needs maintenance so it can nourish people reliably? Keep the answer practical by turning the hexagram into one observation, one boundary, or one next responsible action.

Changing-Line Boundary
If a line is changing, read the primary hexagram first, then compare the moving line and relating hexagram. Do not treat Jing as private possession; a well matters because it serves a larger community. Use changing lines as reflection cues rather than guarantees about love, money, health, or fate.
