Analysis
Dun is the image of fleeing. Children Zi Water (Use Spirit) is hidden beneath Parents Chen Earth; Chen is southeast. Officials Wu Fire twice clashes the Use Spirit. The Use hexagram has Gen — mountain or temple. Chen is the storehouse of Water, suggesting a pond or lake. Use Spirit Zi Water is in sickness on the Yin day. Gen is mountain, Chen is the storehouse — it is possible the child is dead, with the grave at the foot of a mountain.
Actual outcome
To this day, true to the reading, the child has never returned.
