Fits roles in care, education, administration, hospitality, farming and the arts of making things grow.
Relationships
Dependable and attentive. Needs to ask for what they need instead of guessing others will notice.

Balance
A garden needs sun (Fire), water and good tending. The balance of Wood, Fire and Water in the chart colors this Day Master.
Your Day Master is only one of the eight characters in a Ba-Zi chart. Seasons, the other pillars and the 10-year luck cycles all shape how it shows up. Ba-Zi is a traditional wisdom system that describes tendencies, not fixed outcomes.
