Ngày kỷ hợi, tháng tân mùi
Context
Mr. Chai from my workplace brought a friend for a reading; the hexagram cast was Jing transforming into Sheng (Ji-Hai day, Xin-Wei month). Based on what the hexagram showed, I said: you must already have graduated from university several years ago — 1989 will be a good time for marriage. He was astonished: "Master Shao, how did you know I'd graduated several years back?"

Analysis
Wife/Wealth holds the Subject line and meets a thriving month-stem. Officials appear twice, both produced by the month — Wife/Wealth and Officials produce each other. Although the Parents Hai/Zi Water lines are in their resting phase, the moving line 5 (Xu Earth) produces Officials, which in turn produces Parents — a continuous chain of production. Among the Six Spirits, the Vermilion Bird is thriving and resting on the Subject line — favorable for study and examinations.
Actual outcome
Correct — he had indeed graduated from university several years earlier.
