Day Master is the element of the day pillar, the character classical readers treat as “you”. Worked out with the 60-day ganzhi cycle and exact solar-term times; the year in this table is taken at noon, so on 3–5 February the year can change during the day itself.
What a Wood month means
Charts born in a Wood month start with extra Wood in the count. Tradition reads a strong element as a flavour, not a verdict. If your chart turns out light on Wood, its balancing colors are green, teal. Run the calculator to see your own count across all five.
