The closer a pillar is to the Day Pillar, the more personal it gets.

What each pillar covers

Year: where you come from. Month: home ground — upbringing, how you work, where you are strongest.

Day: yourself and your closest bond (the Day branch is often read for a partner). Hour: later life, children, the private self.

The closer a pillar sits to the Day Pillar, the more immediate its effect. Month and Day branch are felt most.

So start with the Day branch and the month pillar.

Compare the Day branch’s main stem to your Day Master and say one plain sentence: often your pattern in close relationships.

Do the same with the month stem for your pattern at work.

Read the Day branch and month pillar first. The year is background, the hour is direction.
