Direct Wealth vs Indirect Wealth: How Money Patterns Show Up in BaZi
Understand stable vs opportunistic wealth patterns and how to manage them.
In BaZi, Wealth is not a promise of money. It is a model of how value flows: incentives, opportunity recognition, stability versus volatility, and how you handle risk.
Two Wealth roles appear in the Ten Gods framework: Direct Wealth (stable, structured value exchange) and Indirect Wealth (opportunistic, high-variance opportunities).
- - Wealth roles describe value flow, not promises.
- - Direct is stable; Indirect is variable.
- - Balance and habits decide outcomes.
