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 己酉, here's what the app reads in it.
What you sit on: your day pillar
Soil that turns up silver
Your soil sits on the Rooster, the fine Metal of autumn. Earth gives birth to Metal, so your gifts flow outward. All of it is Eating God, the star of enjoyment, kindness and talent. The stage is Birth, fresh and full of promise. You also sit on the Academic Star and the Study Hall. Both are old signs of a sharp mind and a love of learning. This is also your partner's seat. You tend to look after your partner with care and good humor. Your talents tend to show early.
You tend to be clever, kind and gifted, and learning often comes easily to you.

A field with a silver plough
Soft earth, Yin Earth, holds the Rooster's bright metal, like a field with a plough in it. Its old name is Earth of the Great Post Road, ground that carries many travellers. Tradition reads this seed as useful and hard-working, open to the wider world.
You were likely born practical and curious, ready to go where the work is.

A highway: connections, travel and trade in later life.
