Frequently Asked Questions

  • Are day masters the same as zodiac signs?

    No. A day master is the heavenly stem of the day pillar. It is a chart reference point, not a yearly animal sign.

  • Which day master should I read first?

    Read your own day master first, then study the elements that appear most strongly around it.

  • Do yin and yang matter?

    Yes. Jia Wood and Yi Wood are both Wood, but Yang Wood behaves like a tree while Yin Wood behaves more like vines or flowers.
