A Bazi natal chart consists of year, month, day and hour "pillars" derived from the birthday and birth hour of an individual. Each pillar has a "
stem" and "
branch". The stem of day pillar represents the "
daymaster" (DM) or the chart owner. The branch of day pillar is the "
spouse palace" which represents DM's spouse. Bazi reading sometimes uses only the day pillar to predict a person's marital blessing or problems.
