The Resource stars are not a promise of a comfortable life. They describe your relationship with the element that feeds you: education, protection, recovery, and the pull between absorbing knowledge and putting it to work.
Direct Resource (正印) is the steady Resource star — formal learning, dependable backing, credentials, and the kind of support that helps a person feel held.
Indirect Resource (偏印) describes the unconventional side of support — intuition, self-directed learning, and the help that arrives sideways rather than through the standard channels Direct Resource occupies.
