Analysis
Children Zi Water transforms into Wei Earth — southwest. Parents Xu Earth moves and restrains the Use Spirit Zi Water; the Use Spirit transforming into something that turns back to restrain it signals anger. Parents thriving and moving means a letter. Kun is cloth and soft objects — the letter is left under a pillow. Use Spirit Zi Water remaining still means no wish to return. The Use Spirit falls in extinct phase by month and day, and a moving line restrains it with reciprocal restraint. Bo has five yin and one yang — the image of falling.
Actual outcome
He left two letters — for his parents and his sister — telling them not to search. Mostly ill, little good — he did not return.
