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. It is not a promise about income.
