The relationship
The element the Day Master acts on, with matching polarity, so it moves at the person's own tempo. That produces the opportunistic relationship to resources — quick to spot, quick to take, not especially attached.
How it shows up
Prominent where people are good at finding the opening and at spending freely once they have. They tend to be well connected across loose networks and comfortable with money as a flow rather than a store.
Where the cost is
The cost is that nothing accumulates quietly. Being good at finding resources is not the same as keeping them, and the same looseness that finds opportunities lets the proceeds go.
What keeps it in proportion
Peer and Resource together give it ballast — self-reliance plus support is what turns a run of opportunities into a position.
