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 丁酉, here's what the app reads in it.
What you sit on: your day pillar
A candle beside the silver
Here your candle lights a table set with polished silver. The Rooster is fine Metal, and Fire makes it gleam. All of it is Indirect Wealth, a good eye for value and open-handed generosity. The stage is Birth, so this seat feels fresh and full of promise. You also sit on three lucky stars. The Nobleman brings helpful people, and the Academic Star brings a quick mind. The Study Hall adds a love of learning. This seat is your partner's place as well. Traditionally it brings a refined partner whom you cherish.
You tend to be bright, gracious and lucky with people, with a real gift for learning.

Palaces
Methods for calculating the palaces vary between schools.
Life palace
Evening glow
When the sun drops behind the hills, its last light paints the valley gold. Your Life Palace holds Yin Fire over the Rooster, known as Fire at the Foot of the Mountain. Traditionally it suggests a gentle, refined light that shines best close to home.
Your warmth tends to work best up close, with people you know well.
Conception palace
Candlelight on a silver cup
A candle, Yin Fire, shines on the Rooster's bright metal. This seed shares the name Fire at the Foot of the Mountain, a glow that is close and cozy. In the old view it speaks of fine taste and a warmth kept for a chosen few.
You were likely born with a refined eye and a warm, private heart.
Na Yin
山下火 Fire at the mountain’s foot
Fire at the mountain’s foot: discreet, steady warmth.
