Where Metal sits in the cycle
- Is nourished by土Earth

The cycle is a general rule. Which elements actually favour *you* depends on the whole chart, not the Day Master alone — that judgement needs the master’s deeper rules.
How this Day Master reads the other nine stems
The relationship between your Day Master and any other stem is called a Ten God — the vocabulary BaZi uses to describe what role each element plays in your life.
