What to Know First
In traditional Chinese culture, the period from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. is known as the Hour of the Horse. It is believed to be the time when yang energy reaches its peak and begins to shift.
Here are four things people are traditionally advised to avoid during this time.
Best moves
Exercising too hard during the hottest part of the day can place extra strain on the body, especially in summer. Choose a cooler time, reduce the intensity, and stay properly hydrated.
Watch out
Whether or not you follow the traditional beliefs, noon is often a good time to slow down, stay calm, and avoid acting impulsively.

More Feng Shui Notes
Midday heat can make people feel more impatient and irritable. One angry comment can quickly turn a small disagreement into a bigger conflict and damage your relationships.
In traditional feng shui, noon is considered a transitional point in the day's energy. Disturbing the ground during this period is believed to disrupt the surrounding energy and bring unnecessary obstacles.
Heat, stress, and strong emotions can affect your patience and judgment. Give yourself time to cool down and think clearly before making an important choice.
