Direct Wealth 正财 in Bazi: Meaning, Rule & Day Master Table

Direct Wealth 正财: Day Master controls it, with opposite polarity. For a Jia 甲 Yang Wood Day Master, it is Ji 己 Yin Earth; its traditional reading centres on stewardship and practical commitment.

zhèng cái

Direct Wealth gives the controlled phase a theme of stewardship: taking responsibility for something tangible and attending to what keeps it working. A chart reading can explore consistency, practical commitments and the connection between intention and follow-through. Its useful tension concerns capacity: how much attention can be directed outward while the Day Master remains adequately supported?

Placement changes the reading scale

Where Direct Wealth 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.

  1. 01 · Visible stems

    On the chart’s surface

    A visible Direct Wealth stem makes the controlled phase explicit in a pillar while distinguishing it from the Day Master by polarity.

  2. 02 · Hidden stems

    Inside an Earthly Branch

    Inside a branch, Direct Wealth identifies an internal stem controlled by the Day Master and opposite in polarity. Its hidden position still matters.

  3. 03 · Annual stem

    Compared year by year

    As an annual relation, Direct Wealth means the natal Day Master controls the year stem’s phase and the two polarities differ.
