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 辛巳, here's what the app reads in it.
What you sit on: your day pillar
A jewel near the hearth
Your jewel sits on the Snake, the bright fire of early summer. Fire tests Metal, much as a jeweller's flame tests gold. The main star is Direct Officer, the star of duty, manners and good name. Inside are a little Rob Wealth, a competitive streak, and a little Direct Resource, care and protection. The stage is Stillness, a calm and inward place. This is also your partner's seat. It tends to bring a respectable partner with high standards. The heat refines you more than it harms you.
Polished and principled, you tend to shine most with a partner who respects your standards.

巳 holds 丙, 庚, 戊: 正官 Direct Officer, 劫財 Rob Wealth, 正印 Direct Resource for 辛. 辛 is at the 死 (Stillness) stage in 巳. The Na Yin of 辛巳 is 白蠟金. The day branch is the spouse palace; here it is the Officer element (it controls the Day Master).

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
Metal waiting for the forge
Gentle heat can turn a soft, pale metal into something fine. Yin Metal over the Snake fills your Life Palace, and its old name is White Wax Metal. The warm Snake underneath tends to help, refining your gifts the way a craftsperson shapes a ring.
You tend to become more polished with time, especially under the right kind of pressure.
Conception palace
A ring held over a flame
Fine metal, Yin Metal, sits over the Snake's fire, like a ring being shaped by a jeweller. This seed shares the name White Wax Metal, pure but still forming. Traditionally it points to a refined nature that heat and pressure make brighter.
Under pressure you tend to grow finer, the way a ring takes shape in the heat.
Na Yin
白蠟金 White wax metal
White wax metal: delicacy and worth that gets polished.
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.
