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 丁卯, here's what the app reads in it.
What you sit on: your day pillar
A lamp among spring leaves
Here your candle sits on the Rabbit, soft spring Wood. That Wood is fuel, so your flame is well fed. All of it is Indirect Resource, the star of intuition, odd hobbies and self-taught skill. In plain words: you often know things before you can explain them. The stage is Slowing, like an evening when the pace drops and thinking deepens. That gives you a reflective, inward glow. This seat is also where your partner sits in the chart. It tends to bring a partner who shelters you, though you both may need time alone.
Sensitive and intuitive, you tend to shine brightest when you're given quiet and space.

卯 holds 乙: 偏印 Indirect Resource for 丁. 丁 is at the 病 (Slowing) stage in 卯. The Na Yin of 丁卯 is 爐中火. The day branch is the spouse palace; here it is the Resource element (it produces the Day Master).
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
Warmth with a purpose
Think of a kitchen stove on a cold morning, warming the whole house. Here the Life Palace holds Yin Fire over the Rabbit, and its old name is Fire in the Furnace. The Rabbit is Wood that feeds this fire, so it tends to burn steadily and give real comfort.
Your life often runs on a steady warmth that others come to rely on.
Conception palace
A small flame on spring branches
A candle, Yin Fire, burns over the Rabbit, young spring wood. This seed of your chart shares the name Fire in the Furnace, a heat that is kept and tended. In the old view, it suggests a gentle warmth that lasts when it is looked after.
Your inborn warmth tends to be soft but steady, and it grows with care and rest.
Na Yin
爐中火 Furnace fire
Furnace fire: transforms and tempers what it touches.
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.
