Analysis
You Metal (Officials Star) meets the day-stem and holds the Subject line. Xu Earth (Wife/Wealth) moves to produce the Subject line; Subject and Object produce each other. Although Xu Earth is in Empty Decade, since it moves it isn't truly Empty — once it leaves Empty tomorrow, the proposal will succeed.
Actual outcome
The next day, at the Si hour, the proposal was accepted; afterward they lived together to old age.
