The birth year, month, day and known hour make four pairs of characters. The Day Master is the point from which their relationships are read.

YEAR · MONTH · DAY · HOUR
The occupant changes the meaning of the room.
Two people can share a room and need different conditions for rest, attention and privacy.
A chart cannot tell us where you sleep or how you spend the evening. Your daily life belongs in the reading too.
Four pillars
Year, month, day and hour each pair a Heavenly Stem with an Earthly Branch. Together they record the birth moment in the traditional calendar.
Day Master
The stem of the birth day gives the chart its reference point. For Yin Fire, the image is candlelight; other elements feed, express or contain that Fire.
An unknown hour
If the hour is unknown, that pillar stays open. We do not fill it with a guess.
The occupied position
Start with the bed or desk the resident actually uses. Their chart enters the reading only with their permission.
