Meaning in a chart
A Jia Day Master is like a tall, straight tree: principled, ambitious, and growth-oriented. Jia natives tend to be pioneering leaders with a clear sense of direction and integrity, reaching steadily upward — yet they can be stubborn, proud, and slow to bend when flexibility is called for.
Example
If you were born on a 甲 day, your Day Master is Jia. As Wood it is nourished by Water (水生木), produces Fire (木生火), is controlled by Metal (金克木), and controls Earth (木克土).
