South is the home of the child within. While the East is where we are born, the South is where we learn to grow, nourished by the warmth of the sun. South is the place of Summer. South is the place of faith, purification, awakening inner child, overcoming obstacles, change, playfulness, protection, trust, resurrection, strength, and self sufficiency.
