An 乙 Day Master still belongs to Wood, just as 甲 does. Polarity changes the ten-god labels assigned to other stems; it does not change the generation sequence Water → Wood → Fire.
A question to try
Think of a recent adjustment you made for another person or a project. Did it help you reach the original goal, or did the goal change too? The useful part is the example, not whether the label feels flattering.
The questions are optional reflection exercises. Your examples and circumstances matter more than whether a traditional image seems to fit.
