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 辛未, here's what the app reads in it.
What you sit on: your day pillar
A jewel set in warm clay
Your jewel rests on the Goat, dry late-summer earth that still holds the day's heat. Earth makes Metal, so this ground supports you. The main star is Indirect Resource, the star of intuition and unusual learning. Inside also sit a little Seven Killings, the star of pressure and courage, and a little Indirect Wealth. That one is a good eye for chances. The stage is Easing, a calmer, wiser time after the rush. This is also where your partner sits. It tends to bring a partner who protects you, though the heat can feel heavy at times.
Quietly wise and resourceful, you often find shelter in the people closest to you.

未 holds 己, 丁, 乙: 偏印 Indirect Resource, 七殺 Seven Killings, 偏財 Indirect Wealth for 辛. 辛 is at the 衰 (Easing) stage in 未. The Na Yin of 辛未 is 路旁土. The day branch is the spouse palace; here it is the Resource element (it produces 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
Firm ground by the way
Picture the packed earth beside a country lane, dry and dependable. That is the old image for your Life Palace, Yin Metal over the Goat. Called Earth by the Roadside, it tends to describe a down-to-earth path, built on reliability more than show.
People tend to trust you because you're steady and easy to count on.
Conception palace
A jewel in warm, dry soil
A small jewel, Yin Metal, sits in the Goat's warm, dry earth. Its traditional name is Earth by the Roadside, the ground that feeds the fields beside the path. This seed is read as quiet, refined and helpful, more than flashy.
Your inborn nature tends to be gentle and useful, with a fine touch others value.
Na Yin
路旁土 Roadside earth
Roadside earth: useful simplicity, clears the way for others.
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.
