乙巳 is day pillar number 42 of the sexagenary cycle
When the stem-branch of the birth day is 乙巳, the day stem is 乙 (Wood, Yin) and the day branch is 巳 (the Snake). In the sexagenary cycle it is the combination number 42.
Saju-Link calls a person whose day stem is 乙 "Yin Wood (乙)", and the line the result screen shows is: "A vine — flexible grass. It bends with circumstance to keep moving, and it does not snap." This line has nothing to do with the reading below or the scores.
What the stems held by the day branch 巳 are to the day stem
The day branch is the spouse position. Read from the day stem 乙, the stems that 巳 holds are as follows. The principal stem (丙) is the branch's representative energy.

| Yang Metal (庚) | middle (中氣) | 24.0% | Authority (正官) |
| Yang Fire (丙) | principal (本氣) | 52.0% | Disruptor (傷官) |
