Windfall · Piancai 偏财
Windfall is money you don't control: opportunities, markets, other people's resources, and the risk that comes with them.
Windfall (piancai) is the wealth star of the unexpected and the external: deals, markets, bonuses, and money that arrives from outside your salary. It is the energy of resourcefulness and opportunism rather than steady accumulation.
A chart with strong Windfall often describes commercial instinct and comfort with risk. The danger is treating every opportunity as a sure thing. The classical advice is to keep the downside visible while chasing the upside.
