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 Wu Xu day has Wu earth as their Day Master, sitting on the 戌 (earth) branch.
Personality
Wu earth is stable; the Dog underneath gives principle and loyalty. You are unmoved by fashion, protective of what you value, and reluctant to reopen a decision you have already made. Consistency is your gift, and occasionally your blind spot.
Work and vocation
Law, engineering, agriculture, property, or public service — institutions that reward standing firm over being impressive.
Relationships
Loyal and constant, with a habit of defending a position before asking a question. Curiosity is not disloyalty.
Health and rhythm
Dryness and stiffness. Hydration and mobility matter more for you than heroic exercise; the risk is long stretches of not moving.

The sexagenary day cycle repeats every sixty days. These are the next dates that fall on Wu Xu.
