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 癸亥, here's what the app reads in it.
What you sit on: your day pillar
Rain on the open sea
Picture rain falling on the open winter sea. The Pig is the same Water as you, so your strength runs high. Its main star is Rob Wealth, the star of drive, rivals and shared money. A little Hurting Officer, wit and frank speech, sits there too. The stage is Peak, the high water mark. This seat is your partner's place as well. A partner tends to feel like an equal. Old books list this day as a Yin Yang Mismatch day. That traditionally means some friction with in-laws, or odd timing in love. Gentle talk and fair sharing tend to help.
You tend to be deep and strong, and in love, fair sharing and kind family ties help.
Why?
Rain on the open sea
You tend to be deep and strong, and in love, fair sharing and kind family ties help.
亥 holds 壬, 甲: 劫財 Rob Wealth, 傷官 Hurting Officer for 癸. 癸 is at the 帝旺 (Peak) stage in 亥. The Na Yin of 癸亥 is 大海水. 癸亥 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
Deep, wide water
Far out at sea, the water is calm on top and deeper than anyone can measure. Here the Life Palace is Yin Water over the Pig, whose old name is Water of the Great Sea. It often describes depth, intuition and a quiet strength that few people fully see.
You tend to feel and understand more than you show.
Conception palace
Rain falling on the ocean
Yin Water over the Pig, water on water, is like rain falling into the ocean. Its old name is Water of the Great Sea, vast and calm on the surface. Tradition reads this seed as intuitive and deep, quiet but hard to fathom.
You were likely born deep and intuitive, more than you let others see.
Na Yin
大海水 Great sea water
Great sea: breadth, depth and resources.
