Wu (午) occupies Due South at the Summer Solstice zenith. Housing Ding Fire (丁) and Ji Earth (己), the Horse embodies speed, transparency, chivalrous enthusiasm, and leadership gravity as a cardinal General Star (将星) and Peach Blossom branch. Meanwhile, Shen (申) opens the Autumn season at Start of Autumn (立秋).
