The Day Master or “Personal Element” (which is the expression we use in our Life Pillars App) is the heavenly stem of the day of birth. This celestial stem is one of the 10 versions of the five Chinese elements, considering that each element has a yang version and a yin version.

The Day Master or Personal Element indicates the raw material of the personality and life upon which the other factors of the Bazi chart being analyzed will act. Therefore, its influence cannot be ignored.

The 10 possible Personal Elements are: Yang Wood (the “Tree”), Yin Wood (the “Plant” or “Flower”), Yang Fire (the “Sun”), Yin Fire (the “Flame”), Yang Earth (the “Mountain”), Yin Earth (the “Garden” or the “Arable Land”), Yang Metal (the “Sword” or the “Axe”), Yin Metal (the “Jewel”), Yang Water (the “Waterfall”), and Yin Water (the “Water Droplet” or “Dew”).

Each of them has its own characteristics, which we explain in the corresponding texts.
