Hi all,
FYI. My translation of the case study using the 1691AD version of Zengshan Buyi (ZSBY) (see ZSBY-6 pdf in
https://fivearts.org/index.php?topic=1997.0):

丑財持世遇旬空。雖有巳火之生。巳火又化囘頭之剋。不能生丑土之財。此財旣無生扶。當主難求。
Chou Wealth holding Subject, meeting Days-Void. Although have Si fire producing, Si fire also changing into [Zi] to turn back to counter. Cannot produce Chou earth Wealth. Since this Wealth without produce-assist, for this person, difficult to seek.
又因三月之丑土。財還有氣。古法有氣不爲空。不敢竟斷。命之再占。
Yet because it is 3rd month?s [Chen] Chou earth Wealth still has Qi. Ancient methods [say] having Qi is not void. Dare not to indeed interpret. Instructed him to again divine.

因得此卦。合前卦而決之。
Because with this gua, together with prior gua, I can judge.
竟斷曰。財無氣矣。不必勞心。彼問何故予曰。前卦丑財。雖則空而有氣。後卦子水財空。伏於五爻未土之下。伏而又空。空而被剋知其無財而無疑也。
Indeed interpreting, I said: Wealth, without Qi! Not necessary to think about it. He asked: Why? I said: Prior gua Chou wealth, although void yet has Qi. Later gua Zi water wealth is void and hidden under 5th line Wei earth. Hidden and also void. Void and is countered. Know that [situation is] without wealth, no doubt.
果後全無。
Result: Later, all came to nothing.
