The classic side · 地支 Earthly Branch
午 Wu · The Horse
午 is noon of the year: the summer solstice (夏至), when yang is at its fullest and the first yin is born. Fire (丁) at its peak over warm fields (己). Passion, charisma, speed and a love of freedom — and the restlessness that comes with it.
The spirit animal: A rearing red horse made of flame, with lanterns rising over sunlit fields.
