What it means

驛馬, the post horse, is the star falling on the branch that clashes the 生 branch of a trine.

For 寅午戌 it is 申, for 申子辰 it is 寅, for 巳酉丑 it is 亥, for 亥卯未 it is 巳.

It carries the sense of moving and going far, and so joins to travel and to distant places.

What the document says

A breath of much motion and much change.

Travel, removal and far places bind to it deeply.

It seizes the opening by turning widely rather than staying in one place.
