Hexagram 3. 屯 — Water over Thunder (Difficulty at the Beginning)

🌿 Meaning and elemental image:

A young shoot rises through rain and tangled ground. This is a genuine beginning, not a demand for immediate mastery.

🧭 Practical step:

Find reliable support and concentrate on one achievable first task.

⚠️ What to watch for:

Neither abandon the project at the first difficulty nor fight every obstacle at once.

✨ Reflection:

“I am allowed to learn while beginning.”

A cultural and reflective reference, not a guaranteed prediction or medical guidance.
