Day Pillars · 六十甲子
The sixty
day pillars.
Ten Heavenly Stems turning against twelve Earthly Branches make sixty combinations, and the one that falls on the day you were born is your day pillar — 일주 in Korean Saju, 日柱 in Chinese BaZi. Its stem is your Day Master: the character the whole chart is read against. All 60 are below, grouped by Day Master.
