As the fundamental source of sustenance, Direct Wealth in one's chart indicates a diligent, pragmatic, and financially prudent nature, with stable financial fortune throughout life—yet may also lead to excessive conservatism and lack of adventurous spirit.

How to Find

Based on the Day Master’s Heavenly Stem, identify the Heavenly Stem representing the element controlled by the Day Master and differing in Yin-Yang polarity.
