What Is Direct Officer? The Direct Officer Personality, Career & Love
The Ten Gods are the heart of BaZi astrology. They take the relationship between your Day Master — the Heavenly Stem that stands for you — and every other stem and branch in your chart, and sort it, by the generating and controlling cycles of the Five Elements and by yin-yang polarity, into ten roles known as the Ten Gods. Together they map your natural temperament, your gifts, and the lessons your life is here to work through. Direct Officer is the Ten God that controls your Day Master, of the opposite polarity. It stands for order, responsibility and rightful standing — the upright, principled air of someone who is self-disciplined, knows their limits and earns trust.
