Indirect Resource Pian Yin

The Ten Gods describe how every other character in a Saju (Four Pillars, BaZi) chart relates to your Day Master, the “you” of the chart. Indirect Resource belongs to the Resource group, and it is paired with Direct Resource (the same relationship with the opposite polarity).

Indirect Resource (Pian Yin) stands for original thinking and unusual intuition. You have the insight to catch what others miss and often stand out in specialized and unusual fields. But you may think a lot, become indecisive, or fall into a world of your own, so adding the ability to turn thoughts into action leads to good results.

• In your Year Pillar (childhood and family): Your childhood may have been in an unusual environment or with a lot of time alone.
• In your Month Pillar (career and social life): You have a deep connection to specialized or unusual fields, or to a distinctive path of learning.
• In your Day Pillar (your inner self and marriage): There is a distinctive energy in the spouse seat, so spiritual connection and each person’s own space matter.
• In your Hour Pillar (later life and children): A quiet later life immersed deeply in the spiritual, in study and in hobbies.

The energy of unusual insight (Indirect Resource) sits in your spouse seat, so you are drawn to distinctive, spiritually deep partners. You need to respect each other’s worlds while widening the points of conversation.

• Work: Insight shines in specialized and unusual fields. Good for planning, research and analysis.
• Money: Don’t move big money you aren’t sure about. Gathering information comes first.
• Love: You feel you need time alone. Saying frankly “I want to rest” reduces misunderstanding.
• Health: Thinking a lot can weigh on your mind. A light walk helps.

A year of intuition and turning points

Distinctive ideas and insight come alive this year. Interest grows in studying new fields, specialist skills and the spiritual. You may think a lot and decide slowly, so test things quickly with small experiments.

A decade of insight and turning points

Unusual intuition and interest in specialized fields deepen. A good time to explore new technology, scholarship and the spiritual and to build expertise. But you may think too much and slow down in action or become isolated, so keep taking small steps that bring what you have learned into the world.

Intuition and insight sharpen this month. A decisive step that turns thought into action helps.

This month’s tip: test the intuition that comes to you right away with a small experiment. Don’t just think; take one step.
