Day Master 7 of 60 · 火金
庚午 Day Master
Gēng / Yang Metal (The Raw Iron / Sword) seated on Horse — one of the sixty Day Pillars a real birth chart can land on.
Your Day Master stem · 日主
庚 — Gēng / Yang Metal
The Raw Iron / Sword: a yang expression of Metal (金). In BaZi, the Day Master is read as the self at the centre of the chart — every other pillar is described in relation to it.
Self-seated strength · 自坐
Depleted (死)
Seated directly on 午 (Horse), Metal is dormant, overpowered by the season's dominant element. This is only the Day Master's relationship to its own seat — the month branch usually carries more weight in a full strength verdict, which is why a real chart (not this page) is what actually tells you whether 庚午 runs strong, weak, or balanced.
Hidden stems in the seat · 藏干
What 午 carries beneath the surface
Every Earthly Branch hides one to three Heavenly Stems. Relative to a 庚午 Day Master, 午's hidden stems read as:
- 丁 (main qi)正官 zhèng guān — Direct Officer
- 己 (residual qi)正印 zhèng yìn — Direct Resource
Your Day Branch · 火午
Horse (午)
Horses run on freedom and momentum. Warm, animated, and hard to fence in, they need room to move and goals worth chasing.
Is 庚午 actually your Day Master?
Your Day Pillar depends on your exact birth date — and, near midnight, your birth time and city too. Enter your details and the deterministic engine will tell you for certain.
