The black comes from 壬, the ocean. Big mind, restless current — you need room to move. The horse (午): free and fast — you need to keep moving. Leo is fire: you don't hide your heart, and you shine when you stand in front.

When the Black Horse fights

When you fightHot, then cold.Water and fire live in you together, so anger turns into something else quickly.

How you're misreadPeople say they can't keep up with you.It isn't fickleness. Both feelings are real.

Your strength in a conflictYou know how to start again.You don't stay stuck in yesterday's fight. You open today fresh.

What Leo addsYour pride gets hurt first.Leo fire makes your pride bigger. It isn't losing — it's being big enough to hold them.

One small stepWhen your mind changes, say so: "I feel differently now."
