Day Master 37 of 60 · 水金
庚子 Day Master
Gēng / Yang Metal (The Raw Iron / Sword) seated on Rat — 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
Resting (休)
Seated directly on 子 (Rat), Metal is quietly expending itself, feeding the season rather than drawing from it. 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 庚子 runs strong, weak, or balanced.
Hidden stems in the seat · 藏干
What 子 carries beneath the surface
Every Earthly Branch hides one to three Heavenly Stems. Relative to a 庚子 Day Master, 子's hidden stem reads as:
- 癸 (main qi)傷官 shāng guān — Hurting Officer
Your Day Branch · 水子
Rat (子)
Rats are sharp observers and natural opportunists. First in the zodiac cycle, they combine charm with a survivor's instinct and an eye for value others miss.
Is 庚子 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.
