Hexagram 3, Zhūn (Difficulty at the Beginning): Line 1
屯卦初九 · 水雷屯 · 中文版
初九：磐桓；利居贞，利建侯。
The line (Legge)
The first NINE, undivided, shows the difficulty (its subject has) in advancing. It will be advantageous for him to abide correct and firm; advantageous (also) to be made a feudal ruler.
Small Image commentary
Although 'there is a difficulty in advancing,' the mind (of the subject of the line) is set on doing what is correct. While noble, he humbles himself to the mean, and grandly gains the people.
象曰：虽磐桓，志行正也。以贵下贱，大得民也。
In plain words
Hesitating and unable to move on; it is favourable to stay put and remain correct, and favourable to appoint feudal princes. The word for hesitating pictures circling without advancing; some read its first character as a boulder blocking the way. The first line is yang at the very bottom and is traditionally counted as the line that makes the hexagram: it has ability but stands at a hard beginning, so it does not rush. The Small Image says that although it hesitates, its aims and conduct stay upright, and that by placing its nobility beneath the humble it wins the people's hearts.
Applying it to your situation
If you are just starting out and meet obstacles everywhere, this line suggests steadying yourself and keeping your direction, while lowering yourself to bring the people around you together. Who is worth getting to know or asking for advice first?
Position
A solid (yang) line in the first place, which is a yang (odd) place, so it is in its proper place. Its partner is line 4; one is yin and the other yang, so they respond to each other.
If this line moves
With this line moving alone, Zhūn changes into Hexagram 8 Bǐ (Holding Together). The Jiaoshi Yilin verse for this change (Chinese): 焦氏易林·屯之比.
The hexagram
Hexagram 3 Zhūn (Difficulty at the Beginning). The Judgment: Zhun (indicates that in the case which it presupposes) there will be great progress and success, and the advantage will come from being correct and firm. (But) any movement in advance should not be (lightly) undertaken. There will be advantage in appointing feudal princes.
