Meaning and Context
Indirect Resource is an encyclopedia term in Chinese astrology and Bazi/Zi Wei reading. It names a specific layer of the system; read it by checking the relevant pillar, branch, star, palace, timing layer, and whole-chart context, then compare it with Resource Star, Direct Resource, Ten Gods, Day Master so the entry explains what the term means before it becomes advice.
Source Context
Indirect Resource belongs to the vocabulary of Chinese astrology and Bazi/Zi Wei reading. A source-aware note should first define the system layer, then show which evidence is checked (the relevant pillar, branch, star, palace, timing layer, and whole-chart context) and only after that describe practical use or cautions.
How It Works
To understand Indirect Resource, identify its system layer and compare Resource Star, Direct Resource, Ten Gods, Day Master. The practical question is not whether the word appears, but what the relevant pillar, branch, star, palace, timing layer, and whole-chart context says in this case and how much weight that evidence deserves.

In FateFolio
In a FateFolio Bazi report, Indirect Resource should be used as an explanatory anchor: define the term, show the observed evidence from the relevant pillar, branch, star, palace, timing layer, and whole-chart context, and point to the next related section rather than turning the term into a one-line verdict.
