Notation / Income

One of the ten forces

正財

Direct Wealth

BAAK calls it Income: what you build and hold, slowly.

A stem of the element your Build controls, with the opposite polarity. It is one half of the Wealth pair 財; the other half is Opportunity 偏財.

01When it is loudest

You are insanely good at the unglamorous, repetitive tasks that secretly generate 90% of the actual money

What arrives without being worked for

You accumulate. Small, repeatable, boring by design, and it compounds while other people are still looking for the big move. What you have is almost always more than what you look like you have.

What the same wiring costs

You will do the reliable thing for six years and quietly wait for somebody to notice. Nobody throws a parade for the thing that never breaks.

02By the element it arrives as

The same force, five ways.

Income is a relationship rather than a substance, so it can be made of any of the five. What it does to you is the relationship; what it looks like from outside is the element.

Drive木
You add one steady layer at a time and ignore the explosive stuff.
Emotion火
You charge the same to everybody, and nobody has ever asked you for a discount.
Calm土
You show up for the boring part long after everyone else got tired of it.
Logic金
You always know exactly who owes you what, and you always collect.
Flow水
The small, reliable setup you put together years ago still pays you every month.

03Finding it in a chart

Which stem is Income to you.

Your Build is the stem of the day you were born. Find it on the left and the stem beside it is this force. Every row is worked out by the same code the report runs, not typed in.

BuildWo+甲→Ea−己
BuildWo−乙→Ea+戊
BuildFi+丙→Me−辛
BuildFi−丁→Me+庚
BuildEa+戊→Wa−癸
BuildEa−己→Wa+壬
BuildMe+庚→Wo−乙
BuildMe−辛→Wo+甲
BuildWa+壬→Fi−丁
BuildWa−癸→Fi+丙

Which force is loudest in yours?

All ten are in every chart. Which one runs the loudest is the thing this page cannot tell you, because it is the one thing that needs your birthday rather than a definition.
