The Day Master is the Heavenly Stem of your day pillar — your chart's self-reference point. Browse the ten stems by pattern, not verdict.
In BaZi, the Day Master (日主) is the Heavenly Stem on your day pillar: one character among eight, yet the anchor from which Ten Gods, strength, and element balance are read. It is not a personality verdict — only a starting coordinate. For how Day Master and Five Elements work together in method, see our Day Master × Wu Xing guide; for stems in every pillar position, see Heavenly Stems.
