What it means

The Post-horse (驿马) is the branch that clashes a Three-Harmony bureau; it marks movement and the joy of promotion and gain—the star of activity and celebration among the Three Fates. A gentleman who meets it holds an honored post, a common person grows prosperous; it most favors concentrated strength and fears the Void and ruin. The Horse has twelve names—'ambling,' 'mounting the carriage,' 'bearing a corpse' and so on, wildly different in fortune—so one must carefully weigh thriving, storehouse and life-or-death.
