Sprouting

Hexagram 3 is named 屯 (zhūn), “Sprouting”. Other variations include “difficulty at the beginning”, “gathering support”, and “hoarding”. Its inner trigram is ☳ (震 zhèn) shake = (雷) thunder, and its outer trigram is ☵ (坎 kǎn) gorge = (水) water.

Confucius/Legge:Difficulty is experienced as Heaven and Earth begin their intercourse, but correct action succeeds in the face of danger. By the action of thunder and rain, which are the attributes of the lower and upper trigrams, all between Heaven and Earth is filled up. But the conditions of the time are irregular and obscure. Authority should be delegated, but the feeling that rest and peace have been secured should not be indulged in even then.
