Day Master 11 of 60 · 土木
甲戌 Day Master
Jiǎ / Yang Wood (The Towering Tree) seated on Dog — one of the sixty Day Pillars a real birth chart can land on.
Your Day Master stem · 日主
甲 — Jiǎ / Yang Wood
The Towering Tree: a yang expression of Wood (木). 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
Restrained (囚)
Seated directly on 戌 (Dog), Wood is held in check by the season, working against resistance. 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 甲戌 runs strong, weak, or balanced.
Hidden stems in the seat · 藏干
What 戌 carries beneath the surface
Every Earthly Branch hides one to three Heavenly Stems. Relative to a 甲戌 Day Master, 戌's hidden stems read as:
- 戊 (main qi)偏財 piān cái — Indirect Wealth
- 辛 (residual qi)正官 zhèng guān — Direct Officer
- 丁 (residual qi)傷官 shāng guān — Hurting Officer
Your Day Branch · 土戌
Dog (戌)
Dogs are the zodiac's conscience — loyal, principled, and fiercely protective of their people. They value justice over advantage.
Is 甲戌 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.
