Each pair of pillars shares one of 30 Nayin, or "sound" elements. Gui You belongs to Metal of the Sword's Edge, pictured as the edge of a sword: sharp, decisive, needs careful handling. Nayin is an older layer of Chinese astrology and is read as a background image, not as your Day Master's element.

In BaZi the day branch is the spouse palace. For Gui You it holds the Rooster, which traditionally harmonises with the Dragon (six harmony) and the Ox and Snake (three harmony), and clashes with the Rabbit.
The most harmonious day pillar for Gui You is Wu Chen (戊辰): its stem combines with yours and its branch forms a six-harmony pair (天合地合). The most challenging are Ding Mao (丁卯) and Ji Mao (己卯): stem against stem and branch against branch (天克地冲). Other pillars in your chart matter more than this single pairing.
