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 己卯, here's what the app reads in it.
What you sit on: your day pillar
A garden full of new shoots
Your soil sits on the Rabbit, the soft Wood of spring. All those roots press into the earth, so this seat carries pressure. It is pure Seven Killings, the star of challenge, courage and quick action. In plain words: you often carry more than your share. Yet this pressure also makes you capable and brave. The stage is Slowing, a thoughtful evening pace. This is also your partner's place. It traditionally brings a lively partner with a strong will. Gentle talk and clear boundaries tend to keep the peace.
Tougher than you seem, you tend to keep your garden growing even under pressure.

卯 holds 乙: 七殺 Seven Killings for 己. 己 is at the 病 (Slowing) stage in 卯. The Na Yin of 己卯 is 城頭土. 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
The watchful guard
From the top of an old wall, a guard can see the whole road. Here your Life Palace holds Yin Earth over the Rabbit, which tradition calls Earth on the City Wall. It often describes someone who notices risks early and quietly keeps others safe.
You tend to be the careful one who thinks ahead for everyone.
Conception palace
A field with young trees
Soft field earth, Yin Earth, holds the Rabbit's young spring wood. It shares the name Earth on the City Wall, ground that has been shaped and raised with effort. Tradition reads this seed as a caring nature that learns to stand firm.
You were likely born gentle, and life tends to teach you to hold your ground.
Na Yin
城頭土 City-wall earth
City-wall earth: protection, limits and firmness.
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.
