Analysis
The Use Spirit Brothers Hai Water sits in the inner trigram, with its storehouse at Chen Earth (the day-stem), but is produced by the month — restrained yet supported, so the person is alive. Chen is southeast. Brothers signify wealth-robbery, and moving means he turned to robbery. Officials appear four times. Hai Water moving enters the Storehouse, and the Hooked Snake symbolizes prison labor — he has been arrested. The Subject line restraining the Use Spirit means he will not return. Only when the Jia-Xu year arrives to clash open the storehouse will release become possible.
Actual outcome
He is alive, in the southeast, currently in custody — much misfortune and little luck; return is unlikely.
