Analysis
When the Wife/Wealth line does not appear in the hexagram, the lost item will not be recovered. In the changed hexagram Wife/Wealth Zi Water exists but is plundered by the moving Brothers from the primary hexagram and enters the Chen storehouse. Xun Wood restrains Gen Earth; Xun is the eldest daughter — taken by a woman. The item was lost at the Zi hour.
Actual outcome
The necklace had been left on the washbasin and was taken by a neighbor woman known for petty theft; with no evidence, the loss had to be accepted.
