have the honor to, sign of the monkey, 3-5PM, ninth sign of Chinese zodiac
申 centers on the act of stating something formally or humbly, as in 'having the honor to speak'. The zodiac and time-of-day meanings are separate, culturally assigned labels for the ninth sign (monkey) and the hour 3-5PM.
申 is an ancient pictograph of a bolt of lightning extending downward, later borrowed for the idea of extending or stating. The modern form is highly stylized and no longer pictorially obvious.
The vertical line through the box 田 looks like a person standing up to speak formally. Imagine a court official rising to address the emperor: 申 is the act of humbly stating something.
For シン, picture a humble servant bowing and saying 'shin' as a respectful utterance: shin -> シン, matching the formal, honorific tone of the kanji.
