What is a Day Master in Korean Saju?
The Day Master (Il-gan, 日干) is the Heavenly Stem of the day you were born. Among the four pillars of Saju, it represents you yourself, so it is the single most important element used to read personality, strengths and the balance of the chart.
How is the Day Master calculated?
Every calendar day maps to one of the 60 sexagenary day pillars. Using the number of days between a verified reference day (7 January 2000 = Gap-Ja day) and your birth date, the day pillar is found, and its Heavenly Stem is your Day Master. There are ten possible Day Masters: Gap, Eul, Byeong, Jeong, Mu, Gi, Gyeong, Sin, Im and Gye.
What are the ten Day Masters?
Gap (甲) yang Wood, Eul (乙) yin Wood, Byeong (丙) yang Fire, Jeong (丁) yin Fire, Mu (戊) yang Earth, Gi (己) yin Earth, Gyeong (庚) yang Metal, Sin (辛) yin Metal, Im (壬) yang Water and Gye (癸) yin Water.
