Day Master in Saju: The Reference Point of the Four Pillars
The Day Master is the Heavenly Stem of the day pillar in a Saju chart. It represents the self, and every other character is interpreted by its relationship to this stem.
Why It Matters
Saju has eight characters: four Heavenly Stems and four Earthly Branches. Among them, the Day Master acts as the chart’s anchor. Wealth, authority, output, companions, and resources are all defined relative to the Day Master.
Example
If the Day Master is Wood, then Earth can become Wealth because Wood controls Earth. If the Day Master is Fire, then Metal can become Wealth because Fire controls Metal. The same element can mean different things depending on the Day Master.
