Analysis

The Use Spirit Brothers You Metal meets the month-stem in thriving phase and holds the Subject line — he should come. But Officials Si Fire is moving and transforms into the Storehouse, so at the Si hour he still hadn't left the house. The Wu-Zi day finds Wu and Wei in Empty Decade; at the Wu hour Empty is left, but Officials Wu Fire is then thriving and restrains the Subject line, so even then he hasn't set out. Wait until the Wei hour, when Parents Wei Earth leaves Empty and can produce the Subject line.

Actual outcome

Mr. Chai arrived exactly at the Wei hour (1:30 PM). A textbook case of the Source Spirit leaving Empty to produce the Use Spirit.
