In short
Eric Chu’s day master is Yin Metal: the Jewel.
Quick to understand, and keeps to its principles. The day master comes from the day of birth alone; about one person in ten shares it.

What the labels mean
Each pillar is two characters: a stem on top (an element, yin or yang) and a branch below (one of the twelve zodiac animals). The day stem is the day master — the person. The label above each other stem is its ten god (Shi Shen, 十神): what that element is to the day master.
Each animal also hides stems of its own, strongest first: the Ox hides Yin Earth (己, Indirect Resource), Yin Water (癸, Eating God), Yin Metal (辛, Friend); the Horse hides Yin Fire (丁, Seven Killings), Yin Earth (己, Indirect Resource); the Goat hides Yin Earth (己, Indirect Resource), Yin Fire (丁, Seven Killings), Yin Wood (乙, Indirect Wealth).
- Friend (Bi Jian, 比肩)
- Same element, same polarity as you. A peer: someone standing where you stand, competing for the same thing and equally able to share the load.
- Indirect Resource (Pian Yin, 偏印)
- What produces you, same polarity. Support of an indirect kind — the tradition treats it as nourishment that can also crowd out the Eating God (食神).
- Eating God (Shi Shen, 食神)
- What you produce, same polarity. Output that comes easily: making, feeding, expressing, without strain.
- Direct Wealth (Zheng Cai, 正财)
- What you control, opposite polarity. Wealth held steadily — earned, kept, accounted for.
- Seven Killings (Qi Sha, 七杀)
- What controls you, same polarity. Pressure with nothing softening it: demand, risk, and whatever you answer to whether you chose it or not.
- Indirect Wealth (Pian Cai, 偏财)
- What you control, same polarity. Wealth that comes sideways rather than by salary — the uneven kind.
Day master
What the classic Di Tian Sui (滴天髓) says of this stem, word for word
Yin Metal (辛) is soft and weak, warm, moist and clear. It dreads Earth piled on it and delights in Water in fullness. It can prop up the altars of state and can rescue living souls. In heat it likes its mother; in cold it likes Yin Fire (丁).
辛金软弱，温润而清，畏土之叠，乐水之盈，能扶社稷，能救生灵，热则喜母，寒则喜丁。
Born in a Horse month (Wu, 午), when Fire rules the season. In that season Yin Metal is dead (Si, 死): the season controls it. (One of five seasonal states, Wang Xiang Xiu Qiu Si, 旺相休囚死, after the San Ming Tong Hui, 三命通會, book 2.)
Day pillar: Metal Goat (Xin Wei, 辛未)
The classic San Ming Tong Hui (三命通会) gives each of the sixty day pillars an image, its sound element (Na Yin, 纳音). For this one it is Earth by the Road (路旁土), and it says:
Holds ten thousand treasures, waiting for autumn to ripen them; likes autumn, and Fire.
The original Chinese
含万宝，待秋成，喜秋及火

Elements in the six known characters
None of the six is Water. The hour pillar’s two characters may supply it or may not — that depends on the hour. Hidden stems are not counted here.
All twelve hours, cast one by one
Of the twelve hours, 10 read strong and 2 weak (strong: the Rat, Ox, Tiger, Rabbit, Dragon, Goat, Monkey, Rooster, Dog, Pig hours). Strength, and the useful element that follows from it, depend on the hour — the date alone cannot settle them.
| Hour | Solar time | Hour pillar | Its ten god | Three tests | Strength | Favoured |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Rat (子) | 00–01 | 戊子Earth Rat | Direct Resource (正印) | out of season rooted backed | strong | Water, Wood, Fire |
| Ox (丑) | 01–03 | 己丑Earth Ox | Indirect Resource (偏印) | out of season rooted backed | strong | Water, Wood, Fire |
| Tiger (寅) | 03–05 | 庚寅Metal Tiger | Rob Wealth (劫财) | out of season rooted backed | strong | Water, Wood, Fire |

| Monkey (申) | 15–17 | 丙申Fire Monkey | Direct Officer (正官) | out of season rooted backed | strong | Water, Wood, Fire |
| Rooster (酉) | 17–19 | 丁酉Fire Rooster | Seven Killings (七杀) | out of season rooted backed | strong | Water, Wood, Fire |
| Dog (戌) | 19–21 | 戊戌Earth Dog | Direct Resource (正印) | out of season rooted backed | strong | Water, Wood, Fire |
| Pig (亥) | 21–23 | 己亥Earth Pig | Indirect Resource (偏印) | out of season rooted backed | strong | Water, Wood, Fire |
Each row is exactly what the full calculator would say for a birth in that hour. Strength comes from three tests: in season (De Ling, 得令) — born in the season of the day master’s own element; rooted (De Di, 得地) — the same element hidden in a branch; backed (De Shi, 得势) — as much support around it as drain. Two of three reads strong. The favoured elements come from support and restrain (Fu Yi, 扶抑): a strong day master wants draining, a weak one wants support. There are three other methods for the useful element — climate (Tiao Hou, 调候), bridging (Tong Guan, 通關) and disease and cure (Bing Yao, 病藥) — each from its own text; see the useful god page. Hours are solar time at the birthplace, so a clock time needs correcting first; and a birth after 23:00 falls in the late Rat hour, where the two schools disagree about whether the day has turned.
Eric Chu’s bone weight (Cheng Gu, 称骨)
Lunar date: day 24 of the 4th month, Metal Ox year (辛丑年四月廿四). Its weights: year 0.7 liang, month 0.9 liang, day 0.9 liang — 2.5 liang before the hour. Over the twelve hours that makes 3.1 liang to 4.1 liang.
Bone weighing is a folk almanac sum over the calendar positions of the year, month, day and hour — not the elements, and not the chart above. How heavy is heavy? The tables and the spread ›
And yours?
You have your own birth time, so your chart needs no table of twelve — all four pillars, corrected to true solar time with the timezone actually in force where and when you were born.
About this page
This page computes; it does not interpret. The birth date is public and its source is linked; the birth time is not, so the hour pillar and everything that depends on it are set out all twelve ways.
Nothing here claims that anyone is who they are because of a chart, and nothing here forecasts years, health or lifespan for anyone living.
