Jia Chen 甲辰
Green Dragon · A giant tree rooted on the dragon mountain
Yang Wood — a tall, upright tree. You are seated on the earth energy you control — a sense of the practical world lies underfoot.
Just past the summit. Seasoned and steady, better at holding what exists than at forcing expansion.
Money in motion is seated in your inner room. Resourcefulness, scale and activity are strong here — and so is the width of what comes and goes.
The stems concealed inside 辰 (Dragon). A branch is not one single energy — it holds this mixture, in these proportions across a 30-day month.
A great tree rooted in earth with dragon energy in it — big ambitions grown slowly. Deep roots mean it does not shake easily, and turning the direction takes correspondingly long.

How do I know if I have the Jia Chen day pillar?
Your day pillar is the stem-branch pair governing the day you were born — Jia Chen (甲辰) in this case. It rotates every day through a cycle of sixty, and the boundaries depend on solar terms and the 11pm zi-hour rule, so it is not something you can count by eye. Enter your birth date in our free reading and the engine computes it directly.
What is the Jia Chen day pillar like?
Green Dragon — the image traditionally attached to it is "A giant tree rooted on the dragon mountain". Your Day Master 甲 (Yang Wood — a tall, upright tree) sits on 辰, the Dragon, which carries Earth. In the twelve-stage cycle that position reads as Waning, and the seated Ten God is Indirect Wealth.
Does my day pillar tell me my whole chart?
No. The day pillar is two characters out of eight — your core axis, not the whole picture. The year, month and hour pillars, the balance of the five elements, and your decade luck all have to be laid on top before a reading means much. Treat a day-pillar page as the doorway, not the room.
Why is it called Jia Zi in Chinese and something else in Korean?
Same sixty-cycle, different reading of the same characters. 甲辰 is romanised Jia Chen from Mandarin and gapjin from Korean, and Korean saju calls the day pillar ilju (일주). The calculation is identical; the interpretive traditions differ.

The twelve-stage position, seated Ten God and hidden stems are computed by the Ioreum deterministic engine (ruleset ioreum-2026.07). The reading itself is interpretation from the day-pillar tradition, not verified science — we always tell you which part is calculation and which part is tradition.
