Your day pillar is the pair of characters for the day you were born: your Day Master on top, the branch it stands on below. If yours is 丙辰, here's what the app reads in it.
What you sit on: your day pillar
Sun after spring rain
Imagine the sun breaking through over wet spring fields. The Dragon is damp earth, and your warmth pours into it. The main star is Eating God, the star of enjoyment, kindness and talent. Inside also hide a little Direct Resource, care, and a little Direct Officer, duty and good name. The stage is Maturing, a young adult ready to step out. This is also your partner's seat. You tend to warm and cheer your partner. Your gifts tend to make things grow around you.
Warm, generous and gifted, you tend to make people feel better just by being around.
Why?
Sun after spring rain
Warm, generous and gifted, you tend to make people feel better just by being around.
辰 holds 戊, 乙, 癸: 食神 Eating God, 正印 Direct Resource, 正官 Direct Officer for 丙. 丙 is at the 冠帶 (Maturing) stage in 辰. The Na Yin of 丙辰 is 沙中土. The day branch is the spouse palace; here it is the Output element (the Day Master produces it).
Traditional reading
It follows the traditional BaZi reading: what a practitioner reads in the pillar and in how it meets your chart.
Palaces
Methods for calculating the palaces vary between schools.
Life palace
Sand on the riverbank
Sand on a riverbank is soft, warm and always shifting a little. Your Life Palace is Yang Fire over the Dragon, called Earth in the Sand. It traditionally suggests a flexible, open nature that can settle in many different places.
You tend to adapt well and make a home almost anywhere.
Conception palace
Warm sand on the shore
Imagine warm sand on a riverbank, soft under your feet after a sunny day. Old books call this Conception Palace Earth in the Sand. The sun's fire over the Dragon's earth makes a warm, open and generous start.
You tend to be warm and easy to be around.
Na Yin
沙中土 Sand earth
Sand earth: adaptable and fertile in its own way.
A poetic name for each of the sixty character pairs, like “Metal in the sea.” It's an image from the tradition, not a measure of strength.
