In BaZi the day branch is the spouse palace. For Wu Zi it holds the Rat, which traditionally harmonises with the Ox (six harmony) and the Dragon and Monkey (three harmony), and clashes with the Horse.
The most harmonious day pillar for Wu Zi is Gui Chou (癸丑): its stem combines with yours and its branch forms a six-harmony pair (天合地合). The most challenging are Jia Wu (甲午) and Ren Wu (壬午): stem against stem and branch against branch (天克地冲). Other pillars in your chart matter more than this single pairing.
