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. Capricorn is earth: once you set a goal, you climb it one step at a time.
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 Capricorn addsYou fold up the feeling and treat it like a task.Capricorn earth puts feelings on hold. One line of feeling before the fix.
One small stepAs the dam fills, let a little water out at a time.
