The ten Day Masters
In BaZi, your Day Master is the Heavenly Stem of the day you were born. It's read as the core of your chart. There are ten, one yang and one yin for each of the five elements.
甲 Jia: Yang Wood, the tall tree
Yang Wood is the tall tree: upright, principled and growth-minded. You stand for what you believe, shelter the people under your branches and keep reaching for something bigger.
乙 Yi: Yin Wood, the flowering vine
Yin Wood is the flowering vine: adaptable, diplomatic and quietly resilient. You find a way around obstacles rather than through them, and you are gifted at connecting people and ideas.
丙 Bing: Yang Fire, the sun
Yang Fire is the sun: generous, expressive and optimistic. You bring warmth to every room, love to share and inspire others with your enthusiasm.
丁 Ding: Yin Fire, the candle
Yin Fire is the candle: warm, perceptive and devoted. Your light is focused rather than blazing.
戊 Wu: Yang Earth, the mountain
Yang Earth is the mountain: stable, trustworthy and protective. People rely on you because you don't waver.
己 Ji: Yin Earth, the garden soil
Yin Earth is the garden soil: nurturing, practical and accommodating. You help people and ideas grow, often behind the scenes.
庚 Geng: Yang Metal, the sword
Yang Metal is the sword: decisive, direct and loyal. You value fairness, cut through confusion and do your best work under pressure.
辛 Xin: Yin Metal, the jewel
Yin Metal is the jewel: refined, sensitive and detail-oriented. You have an eye for quality and beauty, and you want your work and worth to be recognised.
壬 Ren: Yang Water, the ocean
