Index method
Use the Day Master as a reference point, not a personality shortcut
Day Master pages are entry points. They help name the self-reference stem, but the real reading still depends on month command, roots, support, pressure, output, and timing.
What it cannot answer
It cannot decide strength, useful elements, career, or relationship quality without the rest of the chart.
What to compare next
Check month branch, visible and hidden roots, Five Elements, Ten Gods, then Da Yun and the annual pillar.
Reading desk
Use the chart for the question in front of you
Start with the birth data, keep the chart visible, and choose the next layer by the actual question: structure, timing, relationship, or annual context.
Build the chart
Confirm the four pillars, birth time assumptions, and Day Master before attaching meaning to symbols.
Read the pattern
Connect Day Master, Five Elements, and Ten Gods so the reading is not carried by one isolated branch or stem.
Add timing
Compare Da Yun and annual pillars only after the natal chart is clear; timing changes emphasis, not the whole method.
Compare two charts
For relationships, compare both charts, spouse palace signals, element balance, branch interactions, and timing overlap.
