The black comes from 壬, the ocean. Big mind, restless current — you need room to move. The dragon (辰): big dreams — you hold more inside than people guess. Cancer is water: your strength goes into guarding your people and your place.

When you fightYou make it bigger.One argument pulls in the past and the future until it becomes a wave.

How you're misreadPeople say you blow small things up.You see a big current inside a small thing.
