day 12 of a yang moon

There is a higher purpose behind your abilities, behind all gifts from Heaven. And there is a desire to respond to that higher purpose. Talents derive their value from the target they are used for.
If you use every talent you have as best you can, then you will attract the blessings from Heaven. Don’t expect Heaven to carry you though, its gifts come with the condition to use them and also use them free from egoism. The talents for living and loving are the really big ones. But small ones can also achieve a lot.

 

DA YOU. The upper character is a grown up man: big or great. The lower one is a hand: to have, to be, there is, to be rich, offer. Later a piece of meat was added (3), to emphasize possessing. According to others it is the moon, which resembles 'meat' very much, but the little diagonal lines are straight in the moon, and in meat they are not. 
In former times YOU also meant a good harvest, and DA YOU 'best year' or 'best harvest'. According to Wieger the oldest meaning of 3 was eclipse or phase of the moon, but the oldest form of you (2) does not have the moon (or meat).  
DÀ: great, big, tall, large, much, very, extremely, eldest, senior, an adult, to make large. 
YOU3: To possess, to have, to exist, there is, to acquire, to get, again.

 

9 at 3: A Gong sacrifices to the Son of Heaven. Small people are not able to.
Give in a way that accords with your ability to give. Too much and too little are both wrong. But make your gift warm and sincere, don’t use it for showing how great you are yourself. It is not the gift, which matters, it is the mind of the giver. A great mind gives a worthy sacrifice, a small mind cannot give, no matter how much he presents.
 (Changes to hex.38)

 

 Above 9: From out Heaven blessed. Auspicious. There will be harvest.
Spiritual talents decide your value - not worldly accomplishments. They cause intangible blessing, spiritual blessing. Man's real rank in life is according to his spirit.
 (Changes to hex.34)

9 at 2: A great chariot for loading. Proceed probing. No fault.
 Use and show your talents in a way that fits with you, and according to reality. Please don't underestimate yourself! Then you can accomplish good and great things and they will be seen. Making too much noise creates destruction and disbelief.
 (Changes to hex.30)

 

 6 at 5: His truth is then associating, then awesome (impressive). Auspicious. 
A strong character is authorative when that is necessary, but just as easy he can be nice and sympathizing. For both one needs strength, and even more so for changing at the right moment.
 (Changes to hex.1)
Initial 9 : Avoid intercourse with harm. Without fault. A difficult principle, no fault.
In a time of great possession, material or mental, it is easy to forget carefulness. Avoid trouble and don't become the problem yourself. It may be tempting to meddle in affairs, but weigh whether your efforts make progress or problems.
(Changes to hex.50)

9 at 4: Not at all sounding one's drum. Avoid faults.
 Every time one brags about a force, that force loses part of its genuine, natural power. It goes to your mind and leaves your soul, and by doing so it becomes limited. The mind is like a demanding boss for it, believing in matter and facts, the soul is like a nurturing mother, trusting heaven.
(Changes to hex.26)

Line 3. Gong is the highest one of the 5 titles of nobility in Zhou time. See hex.6. The character for sacrificing is the same one as 'expansion'.
Line 5. "Truth" is most of all the confidence one inspires in others. See Harmen's article. 14.5: He inspires confidence which connects and creates reverence: the quality of fu enables the king to connect with his people and make them stand in awe with respect and trust.
