The Ji You day pillar pairs the Ji day master (Yin Earth) with the You branch (Metal, the Rooster). Below: the computed facts, what the seat relation and twelve-stage position mean structurally, the nayin gloss, the classical reading of the spouse palace, and an instant lookup for your own pillar.
This page is generated from the engine, not hand-written; structural facts reconcile against the methodology page.
| Day master | 己 Ji · Yin Earth |
|---|---|
| Day branch | 酉 You (Rooster) · Metal |
| Hidden stems | 辛 Xin (Eating God, main qi) |
| Stage of the stem here | Birth (1 of 12) |
| Nayin | Post Road Earth · 大驿土 (shared with Wu Shen 戊申) |
| Seat relation | Stem generates branch (xie) — traditional term: 泄 |
The stem generates the branch: Earth flows into Metal, so the Ji day master sits on ground that continuously draws its output. Traditional wording calls this 泄 (xiè, "draining") — the self is spent into its own base. Again this is a statement of flow, not of fortune: the day master's energy has a standing outbound channel right under it, and the rest of the chart decides whether that channel is a liability or a productive one.

Post Road Earth (大驿土): earth of the post roads — ground where everything and everyone passes through. Exchange is the theme.
In the spouse palace this is an Output (食伤) configuration: the classical reading treats the partner-side branch as the place where the Ji day master expresses rather than absorbs. The structural point — stated by the tradition, not by this site — is that intimacy here runs through expression and making. Whether that lands well in an actual relationship depends on the other seven characters, which is why this page stops at structure.
The main qi 辛 (Xin, Eating God) defines the palace's classical group: Output.
Birth date alone is enough — the day pillar never needs a birth time. The calculation runs in your browser; nothing is sent anywhere.
