3. Initial Obstacles · 屯 六二

Line 2 of hexagram 3

In practice

Obstacles are on the way, but help will come. Act with caution until you feel secure and can receive that help.

The poetry

Stuck, turning in place; the horses of the team pull apart. Not a raider: someone come to ask for marriage. The young woman is constant and gives no promise; after ten years she gives it.

六二:屯如邅如,乘馬班如,匪寇婚媾,女子貞不字,十年乃字。

象曰:六二之難,乘剛也。十年乃字,反常也。
