What is my Day Master?

Your Day Master comes from your Four Pillars / BaZi chart.

A BaZi chart contains four pillars based on your:

year, month, day and hour of birth.

Each pillar contains a Heavenly Stem and an Earthly Branch.

The Heavenly Stem of your Day Pillar is your Day Master.

There are ten possibilities, created from the Five Elements — Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal and Water — each appearing in Yin or Yang form.

So Astralway might identify you as a:

Yin Water Day Master

or

Yang Wood Day Master.

Your Day Master is an important reference point, but it isn't your entire Chinese chart or simply a Chinese version of your Sun sign.

Its meaning depends on the season and elemental environment surrounding it.
