About
As the eleventh of the twelve Earthly Branches, 戌 is fundamentally linked to the weapon category through its structural kinship with the halberd radical 戈, enhanced by a horizontal stroke that specifies a blade type. It serves as a key element in traditional astrology, timekeeping, and dating. In the zodiac, 戌 corresponds to the Dog and designates the evening hour from seven to nine o’clock.
