The two characters of the day someone was born. They come round every sixty days, and they are the third of the four pillars.
What it is made of
The stem Gye (계, 癸) is the yin of Water.
The branch Mi (미, 未) is the yin of Earth.
Mi carries Gi (기, 己), Jeong (정, 丁), Eul (을, 乙) inside it. Korean calls these 지장간 — the stems hidden in a branch.
The branch's element is the one that governs the stem's.
On the calendar
Mi is the character for the month that opens at Soseo (Minor Heat), and for the hours from 1pm to 2:59pm.
It sits 20th in the cycle of sixty. Days run in that order, so the same two characters come back every sixty days.
Days that were Gye-mi in 2027
A day turns at midnight. For a birth between 11pm and midnight, some schools read the next day instead. CELESTRY reads it as the same day by default and lets you choose the other.

A day pillar is not read on its own
The day pillar is one line of a four-line coordinate. Two people can share it and, with the other three lines different, not be alike.
CELESTRY reads all eight characters and writes down which of them each area was read from.
