Day Master
Jia Wood is the yang polarity of Wood. Your Day Master is the Heavenly Stem of your day pillar — the character in your chart that stands for you, and the reference point every other character in the chart is measured against.
| Element | Wood |
|---|---|
| Polarity | Yang |
| Stem | 甲 · Jia |
| Position in the ten stems | 1 of 10 |
Each of the ten stems stands in one fixed relationship to yours. That relationship is the stem’s Ten God, and it is what the reading is built on — the same rule the reports use.
| Stem | Element | Ten God | Leading Role name |
|---|---|---|---|
| 甲 Jia | Yang Wood | Friend | The Independent |
| 乙 Yi | Yin Wood | Rob Wealth | The Kingmaker |
| 丙 Bing | Yang Fire | Eating God | The Creator |
| 丁 Ding | Yin Fire | Hurting Officer | The Maverick |
| 戊 Wu | Yang Earth | Indirect Wealth | The Entrepreneur |
| 己 Ji | Yin Earth | Direct Wealth | The Provider |
| 庚 Geng | Yang Metal | Seven Killings | The Vanguard |
| 辛 Xin | Yin Metal | Direct Officer | The Statesman |
| 壬 Ren | Yang Water | Indirect Resource | The Visionary |
| 癸 Gui | Yin Water | Direct Resource | The Scholar |
Every Earthly Branch hides one to three stems. Those hidden stems are read against your Day Master in exactly the same way, which is how a branch comes to carry a Ten God.

Your Day Master comes from the day you were born, not the year, and it needs the correct date and place to compute. It is not the same as your Chinese zodiac animal, which comes from the year.
Your Leading Role is computed from your birth date and hour, free — no email needed to see it.
