1.What 庚午 means
庚午 combines the heavenly stem 庚 (Kanoe) with the earthly branch 午 (Uma). 庚 is likened to iron and the sword, and 午 to the horse.
The branch below (Fire) restrains the stem on top (Metal), a controlling pairing. There is inner conflict, but also hidden strength to grow by pushing against it.
