Analysis
Wife/Wealth Wei Earth holds the Subject line and transforms progressively; the Lucky Spirit Si Fire is moving and produces. Si Fire transforms into Zi Water that turns to restrain it, so the marriage must wait until the Wu day clashes Zi Water away. Officials between Subject and Object cause obstruction but are broken by the month, stored on the day, and regressive — powerless.
Actual outcome
At the Wu hour the proposal was accepted.
