Analysis
Officials Si Fire moves and produces Parents Wei Earth; Wei Earth restrains Children Hai Water, so the boy was angry, and the Si-Hai clash drove him to leave. Children Hai Water transforms into Hai Water; Hai sits in the Qian palace, which is northwest. Children Hai Water is in long-life-thriving phase by the month-stem, so he is safe. He will surely return on the 28th–29th of the 7th month: the primary and reciprocal hexagram numbers sum to 18, and after 8 days gone, 10 remain.
Actual outcome
On 16 September, Mr. Tu's son returned home, exactly as predicted.
