In BaZi, the day pillar is the pillar of the self. Its heavenly stem is your Day Master — the reference point for every other character in the chart. A person born on a Ji Chou day has Ji earth as their Day Master, sitting on the 丑 (earth) branch.
Personality
Ji earth nurtures; the Ox is stubborn and enduring. You are steady, practical and quietly immovable once you have decided. Your patience is a strength until it becomes avoidance.
Work and vocation
Operations, accounting, agriculture, healthcare, administration.
Relationships
Constant and dependable. Say the difficult thing before it hardens.
Health and rhythm
Digestion and cold limbs. Warm food and a regular rhythm.
