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 乙未, here's what the app reads in it.
What you sit on: your day pillar
Wildflowers on a summer hillside
Imagine wildflowers on a warm hillside in late summer. The Goat is dry earth, the kind of ground a flower can spread across. The main star is Indirect Wealth, a good eye for chances and open-handed money. Inside also sit a little Eating God, enjoyment and gentle talent, and a Friend, your own Wood. The stage is Nurture, like a child well cared for. In plain words: life tends to give you a soft place to grow. This seat is your partner's place too. Traditionally it brings a practical partner, and a home you enjoy tending.
You tend to be easygoing and resourceful, and you make any place feel like home.

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
Worth that needs sifting
Among plain grains of sand, a glint of gold catches the light. Here your Life Palace is Yin Wood over the Goat, which tradition names Gold in the Sand. It often points to hidden talent that shines once the right person or chance comes along.
You tend to blossom when someone sees your value and gives you room.
Conception palace
A plant in summer earth
Yin Wood grows in the Goat, warm, dry earth at the end of summer. Its old name is Gold in the Sand, treasure that waits to be washed clean. Traditionally this seed points to a modest start with more worth than first appears.
People may underrate you at first, and time often shows your real value.
Na Yin
沙中金 Metal in the sand
Gold in the sand: worth that must be found and washed.
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.
