What day-master strength looks at
Strength is not a single high or low score. This site writes whether the day master stands up by season, by roots, and by what produces it. Each item can be pointed at on the chart.

Season is the month branch
If the month produces or supports the day master, tradition calls it in season. If the month controls the day master, it is not. This item is loud because the month’s main qi is heavy. It is not the only item.
Roots and support are the other two
A root is the day master’s element inside a branch. Support is whether resource and peers are present, and how heavy they are. The three can disagree: in season but rootless, or with resource while the month controls. Write them apart.
Do not collapse the three into one word
Illustration: the month controls the day master, the day branch has a root, and a stem is resource. Write: not in season, rooted, and produced by resource. Do not reduce that to “weak” and then discuss a remedy. This is not a health assessment.
Common mistakes
- Judging strong or weak from the month alone.
- Turning strength into success or failure as a person.
- Using strength to pick a day for an action.

Frequently asked questions
Is the strength figure a percentage grade?
It is not a grade. It is the record of season, roots, and support. Cite the item, not a rank.
Should a weak day master seek resource and peers in luck cycles?
That is a traditional discussion of what to use. This page only says how strength is read. Luck steps remain the ones printed on the chart. No remedy is prescribed here.
Can a rootless day master still be called strong?
Write rootless on the root item. If resource is heavy, write that on the support item. Do not let one item hide the other.
