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. Pisces is water: you feel what others feel, and drift between dream and real.

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 Pisces addsYou carry their feelings as well as yours.Pisces water floods you with empathy. Look after your own heart first.

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