How Direct Resource is calculated
Read Direct Resource as different-polarity support flowing toward the Day Master. Its phase movement matches Indirect Resource; polarity changes the name.

Which target produces Direct Resource for every Day Master
Each Day Master has exactly one target stem that produces this name. The phase changes from row to row, but the relationship and polarity rule remain constant.

Where Direct Resource can appear in a chart
The name always comes from the same calculation. What changes is where the target stem is found: on the surface of a natal pillar, inside a branch, or in the stem of a year being compared with the natal chart.
- 01 · Visible stems
On the chart’s surface
A visible Direct Resource stem makes the generating relation explicit in one pillar while expressing the polarity opposite the Day Master.

Inside an Earthly Branch
Inside a branch, Direct Resource names an internal stem that generates the Day Master and differs in polarity. Keep its hidden rank in view.

Compared year by year
As an annual relation, Direct Resource means the year stem generates the natal Day Master’s phase and differs in polarity. The label is not a complete forecast.
