Traditional secret-animal reading
The Horse hour’s inner image
Horse hour carries Yang Fire at the centre of the summer sequence. As the secret animal, its image is inner experience approaching full expression, with a wish to make something immediately visible. The symbolic contrast is between the brightness of the moment and what remains outside its light.
In hour folklore, this is noon, when the sun stands highest and yang is at its fullest.
