Direct Wealth is one of the Ten Gods, created by comparing another stem with the Day Master. It is a functional role in the chart, not a fixed personality label.
To read Direct Wealth, first identify which visible stem or hidden stem creates it. A role shown in the Heavenly Stems behaves differently from one buried in an Earthly Branch, and a combined or clashed branch can change how strongly it is expressed.
Then compare whether the chart can carry the role. Strength, season, neighboring Ten Gods, hidden stems, current Da Yun, and annual timing decide whether it becomes useful structure, pressure, output, conflict, or resource.
How Direct Wealth becomes useful in a chart
Direct Wealth is a relationship to the Day Master. The important question is where it appears, whether it is exposed or hidden, and whether the chart can carry the role without becoming distorted.
A practical reading order
When Direct Wealth appears strongly, do not jump straight to a verdict. Check whether the chart has the conditions described above, then compare the current Da Yun and annual pillar. The same symbol may describe confidence in one chart, pressure in another, and a temporary timing event in a third.

A Ten God is a functional relationship to the Day Master, not a fixed personality trait. Its effect changes with strength, placement, and timing.
- Identify which stem or hidden stem creates Direct Wealth, then check whether it is exposed or buried.
- Compare whether the chart can carry the role: too little makes it weak, too much can crowd the reading.

- Use Da Yun and annual pillars to see when the role becomes visible in work, money, relationships, or study.
