The black comes from 壬, the ocean. Big mind, restless current — you need room to move. The dog (戌): loyal and protective — your people are safe with you. Aries is the sign of beginnings: you move first, and waiting wears you out.
When the Black Dog fights
When you fightYou press it down, until the dam breaks.Like water behind a dam: the bigger the patience, the bigger the break.
How you're misreadPeople say you suddenly turn.The dam you held for so long reached its limit.
Your strength in a conflictYou keep deep loyalty.Even after a fight, you guard their secrets and their place.
What Aries addsYou blow up fast, and forget fast.Aries fire makes you react fast. One breath before the first word.
One small stepAs the dam fills, let a little water out at a time.
