The 60 Day Pillars in Saju
In Saju (the Four Pillars, or BaZi), the Day Pillar is the two characters of the day you were born. The top character is your Day Master, the core of who you are; the bottom is the Earthly Branch you sit on, your inner self and spouse palace. Ten Day Masters times six branches give 60 Day Pillars, and each one has its own character.
