Hexagram 59, Huàn (Dispersion): Line 3
涣卦六三 · 风水涣 · 中文版
六三：涣其躬，无悔。
The line (Legge)
The third SIX, divided, shows its subject discarding any regard to his own person. There will be no occasion for repentance.
Small Image commentary
'He has no regard to his own person:' - his aim is directed to what is external to himself.
象曰：涣其躬，志在外也。
In plain words
Dispersing one's self-interest: no regret. The third line is weak, neither central nor correct, but corresponds to the top line; it can set itself aside and aims to help with the dispersal outside. The Small Image says its aim is outward.
Applying it to your situation
If you want to contribute to something larger, this line suggests first letting go of your own fixations. What self-interest could you set aside first?
Position
A broken (yin) line in the third place, which is a yang (odd) place, so it is not in its proper place. Its partner is line 6; one is yin and the other yang, so they respond to each other.
If this line moves
With this line moving alone, Huàn changes into Hexagram 57 Xùn (The Gentle Wind). The Jiaoshi Yilin verse for this change (Chinese): 焦氏易林·涣之巽.
The hexagram
Hexagram 59 Huàn (Dispersion). The Judgment: Huan intimates that (under its conditions) there will be progress and success. The king goes to his ancestral temple; and it will be advantageous to cross the great stream. It will be advantageous to be firm and correct.
