The Indirect Wealth Structure in BaZi: Moving Money, Made Through Dealings and Contacts, and Easily Split
Indirect Wealth is the Ten God the Day Master controls, with the same polarity. With an Indirect Wealth Structure, the point is whether helping gods on the stems support it, and whether anything there breaks it.
What is the Indirect Wealth Structure?
Indirect Wealth is the Ten God the Day Master controls, with the same polarity. It stands for money in motion, opportunity, contacts and a knack for deals. An Indirect Wealth Structure is built around keeping resources circulating: sales, investment, business, networking. Like Direct Wealth it is a benevolent star, used by supporting it, but because this Wealth moves, the risk of Peers carrying some of it off is plainer.
How it is taken: when the Indirect Wealth hidden in the month branch shows on the year, month or hour stem, or when none of the hidden stems shows and the Main Qi is the Indirect Wealth, the chart is an Indirect Wealth Structure. It is a structure used by supporting it (shun yong, 順用).
How we counted: using this site's structure rules, our engine cast one chart for every day from 1960 to 2005, with the birth hour drawn by a fixed-seed random sample, 16,802 charts in all. This describes how chart structures are distributed; it says nothing about how far anyone will go.
How it is made
| Making factor | What it means |
|---|---|
| Output produces Wealth | The Eating God or Hurting Officer shows on a stem, with no Seven Killings. Skills and ideas open up ways to earn. |
| Wealth produces the Officer | The Direct Officer shows on a stem. Moving money turns into standing and position. |
| Wealth structure wears Resource | The Day Master is not strong, Resource shows on a stem and no Peers do. Resource supports the self while Wealth leaves it alone. |
How it is broken
| Breaking factor | What it means |
|---|---|
| Peers rob Wealth | Friend or Rob Wealth shows on a stem. In our sample, half of all Indirect Wealth Structures have Peers on the stems, making this the most common breaking factor; an Officer on the stems lightens it. |
| Wealth meets the Seven Killings | The Seven Killings show on a stem. Wealth turns to feed them, so pressure arrives along with the money; Output restraining the Killings or Resource absorbing them lightens this. |
| Month branch clashed | Another branch clashes the month branch, shaking the structure at its root. |
We look at all of these on the stems only (Zi Ping puts weight on what shows), and we list them without passing a verdict. The factors that turn up most often on the stems of an Indirect Wealth Structure in our sample:
| Factor | Share of Indirect Wealth Structures |
|---|---|
| Peers rob Wealth | 49.6% |
| Output produces Wealth | 36.0% |
| Wealth structure wears Resource | 24.9% |
| Wealth produces the Officer | 22.7% |
| Wealth meets the Seven Killings | 21.4% |
The Indirect Wealth Structure with a strong or weak Day Master
- Strong: A strong Indirect Wealth Structure is good at dealing and willing to move; plenty of chances come, and it can catch them.
- Weak: With a weak Day Master, Indirect Wealth swings between feast and famine and keeps you running after money. Managing risk and finding partners to share the load help.
Structure and strength are read separately; for how strength is judged, see strong or weak Day Master. For the personality of the Indirect Wealth itself, see Indirect Wealth.
Geng Metal with Wealth producing the Officer
Born November 10, 1975, Shen hour (3–5 p.m.)
- Taking the structure: Hai month hides Ren and Jia. The Main Qi Ren Water does not show; the Middle Qi Jia Wood sits on the hour stem. To Geng Metal, Jia is Indirect Wealth, so this is an Indirect Wealth Structure.
- Making factors: Ding Fire on the month stem is the Direct Officer, so Wealth produces the Officer.
- Breaking factors: no Seven Killings on the stems, so Wealth does not turn to feed them; no Peers, so the Wealth is not split; the Hai month branch is not clashed.
- Strength: Geng Metal is weak and favors Earth and Metal, and because Hai month is cold, the engine adds Fire for climate balance. So the Ding Fire Direct Officer is both the helping factor that makes the structure and a favorable element the chart can use.

Other structures
A straight word: a structure is a chart's theme, not a label of rank
The classics often equate a structure that "holds" with wealth and rank, and a "broken" one with poverty and low standing. A reading closer to today is this: the structure tells you what a chart is built around, what holds it up, and where it is most easily thrown off. A structure that holds does not promise an easy life, and a broken one is not failure. Plenty of broken charts grow their real strengths in the work of mending the break. Everything on this site is for reference and entertainment.

The structure is built around circulation and dealing, and temperamentally it often suits sales, business and investment. Whether it suits taking on risk depends on the Day Master's strength and on whether Wealth is favorable.
