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 癸未, here's what the app reads in it.
What you sit on: your day pillar
Rain on dry summer ground
Here the rain falls on the Goat, dry earth at the end of summer. Earth holds back Water, so this seat brings some pressure. The main star is Seven Killings, the star of challenge and courage. Inside also hide a little Indirect Wealth, a good eye for chances, and a little Eating God, gentle talent. The stage is Rest, like a cellar where things are stored for later. This is also your partner's seat. It tends to bring a strong partner who keeps you on your toes. Kind words go a long way here.
Soft and caring even under pressure, you tend to bring life wherever you land.

未 holds 己, 丁, 乙: 七殺 Seven Killings, 偏財 Indirect Wealth, 食神 Eating God for 癸. 癸 is at the 墓 (Rest) stage in 未. The Na Yin of 癸未 is 楊柳木. The day branch is the spouse palace; here it is the Officer element (it controls 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
Soft branches, strong roots
Willows love the riverbank, where their roots drink and their branches sway. Here the Life Palace is Yin Water over the Goat, which tradition names Willow Wood. It often suggests gentleness and charm, with more inner strength than people first expect.
You tend to seem soft at first, but you hold your ground well.
Conception palace
Rain on summer ground
Gentle rain, Yin Water, falls on the Goat's dry summer earth. This seed carries the name Willow Wood, soft branches that grow fast near water. Traditionally it hints at a kind, sensitive start that thrives with calm and care.
You were likely born soft-hearted, and you do best where things are calm.
Na Yin
楊柳木 Willow wood
Willow wood: flexibility and grace.
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.
