Indirect Resource
Indirect Resource appears when the target stem generates the Day Master and both stems share a polarity. The generating cycle selects the resource pair; matching polarity selects this member.

How Indirect Resource is calculated
Read Indirect Resource as same-polarity support flowing toward the Day Master. The target phase produces the Day Master’s phase, and placement locates that support relation.

Which target produces Indirect 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.

Placement changes the reading scale
Where Indirect 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
When visible, Indirect Resource shows the generating stem openly in the year, month or hour pillar with polarity matching the Day Master.
See the four visible pillars → - 02 · Hidden stems
Inside an Earthly Branch
When hidden, the generating stem is part of a branch’s interior. Primary, middle or residual placement describes how it is stored there.

Compared year by year
An annual Indirect Resource stem generates the natal Day Master and shares its polarity. Read it alongside the annual branch rather than as a complete year verdict.
