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 丙午, here's what the app reads in it.
What you sit on: your day pillar
The midsummer noon sun
Picture the sun at noon on the longest day of the year. The Horse is the same Fire as you, so your strength is at its height. Its main star is Rob Wealth, the star of drive, rivals and shared money. A little Hurting Officer, wit and bold speech, hides there too. The stage is Peak, full power. This seat is your partner's place as well. A partner tends to feel like an equal, and sparks can fly. Old books list this day as a Yin Yang Mismatch day. That often means friction with in-laws, or love that arrives at odd times. A little patience goes a long way.
Warm, bold and strong-willed, you tend to find love easier with patience and fair sharing.
Why?

午 holds 丁, 己: 劫財 Rob Wealth, 傷官 Hurting Officer for 丙. 丙 is at the 帝旺 (Peak) stage in 午. The Na Yin of 丙午 is 天河水. 丙午 is one of the 陰差陽錯 (Yin Yang Mismatch) days listed in the San Ming Tong Hui. The day branch is the spouse palace; here it is the same element as the Day Master.

Palaces
Methods for calculating the palaces vary between schools.
Life palace
Rain from the sky
After a hot summer day, rain falls and the whole land breathes again. Your Life Palace holds Yang Fire over the Horse, yet its old name is Water of the Heavenly River. It tends to describe a life that brings relief and renewal to people around you.
You often arrive like welcome rain, bringing fresh energy where it's needed.
Conception palace
Rain from the summer sky
Think of a summer storm cooling the hot ground after a long day. Old books call this Conception Palace Water of the Heavenly River, rain from the sky. It sits on Yang Fire over the Horse, fire on fire, and tradition sees the rain as a welcome balance.
You tend to have a lot of fire, and a calm, generous side that cools it.
Na Yin
天河水 Heavenly river water
The Milky Way, rain from the sky: nourishing, idealistic and spiritual.
