Malbim: Each day they go from east to west, and act during the four quarters of the day. Every six hours a Ru'ach is aroused from a different direction, like Chazal said (Gitin 31b). Every half year they traverse their path from south to north or from north to south, and the yearly orbit from west to east, and different actions during the four Tekufos - cold and heat in the four directions.
