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 己亥, here's what the app reads in it.
What you sit on: your day pillar
A garden after winter rain
Your garden soil sits on the Pig, cold winter water. Soil takes in water and puts it to work. The main star is Direct Wealth, the star of steady money and careful habits. A little Direct Officer, the star of duty and good name, hides there too. The stage is Seed, a quiet start that grows with care. In plain words: you tend to build a good life slowly and well. This is also your partner's seat. Traditionally it brings a decent, practical partner you look after.
You tend to be careful and kind, and you grow a good life with patience.
Why?

亥 holds 壬, 甲: 正財 Direct Wealth, 正官 Direct Officer for 己. 己 is at the 胎 (Seed) stage in 亥. The Na Yin of 己亥 is 平地木. The day branch is the spouse palace; here it is the Wealth element (the Day Master controls it).
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
Fields and saplings
Farmers plant orchards on flat land because the trees grow easily there. Here the Life Palace is Yin Earth over the Pig, whose old name is Wood of the Open Plain. The Pig brings water to the roots, so your path often favours patient, practical growth.
Your life tends to grow well through simple, steady work.
Conception palace
Soft earth by the lake
Moist soil, Yin Earth, lies over the Pig's winter water. It shares the name Wood of the Flat Land, young trees that grow where the ground is gentle. Tradition reads this seed as kind and fertile, a place where good things take root.
Things tend to grow around you, because you were likely born nurturing.
Na Yin
平地木 Flatland wood
Flatland wood: free, simple growth.
