Wealth: direct and indirect

A stem the day master controls is wealth. Opposite polarity is direct wealth. Matching polarity is indirect wealth. Wealth is the element the day master controls. It is not an account balance.

Both wealth names are what the day master controls

Write the control first, then let polarity split direct from indirect. Main qi in the month is heavy. Residual qi is light.

Read it with the day master’s strength

Tradition asks whether the day master can carry wealth. That still returns to roots, resource, and officer. One wealth character is not an income.

Indirect wealth as main qi

Illustration: the day master is Jia, and a branch’s main qi is Wu, indirect wealth at weight 1. Write that this branch’s main qi is the earth the day master controls. It is not “an indirect-wealth pattern means investing.” A pattern name is not a rank, and wealth is not financial advice.

Common mistakes

  • Turning the wealth star into savings or a salary.
  • Turning indirect wealth into a windfall.
  • Saying there is a lot of wealth without the weights.

Frequently asked questions

If wealth is controlled, is money lost?

First say who is controlling, and which layer. Do not jump from the word wealth to a loss.

Is direct wealth more stable than indirect wealth?

The names only mark polarity. Stability is not decided by those two words.

If a luck cycle brings wealth, does the natal wealth remain?

Yes. The cycle is an extra step. It does not erase the birth chart.
